Tallaya Wood

reiki practitioner & breathwork coach‌

Hi! I am Tallaya and I am the founder of Oakwood Reiki.

I began my own Reiki journey in 2014 after the birth of my first child. At the time I had no real idea what Reiki was or even what to expect from a treatment. A decade later and I will be forever grateful for what I found back then.

Throughout my Reiki journey I have found a peace, acceptance and evenness that has helped me in all aspects of my life. Conscientious practice and a deep appreciation for the art and science that is the Usui System of Natural Healing has brought me to a place of grace that I never thought was possible for me. I find myself to be more composed, less judgmental and much kinder, to myself and to others, since incorporating Reiki into my daily life.

Reiki has helped me to heal many relationships in my life as well as helping me, with grace and compassion, let go of people and situations that no longer serve me. It is for these reasons that I decided to open Oakwood Reiki. I feel that I am now in a place in my life where I would like to be able to offer others what has been so graciously gifted to me.

In the decade that I have been practicing Reiki I have had no greater pleasure than to see my clients, friends and family benefit from the gift that is Reiki.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is the channelling of universal energy and can assist you to feel better in all aspects of your life. It is a safe, non-intrusive, hands on, complementary therapy used to harmonise, balance and heal all manner of dis-ease in your body, mind, spirit and emotions. It is important to point out that Reiki is not a replacement for western medicine and was never intended to be used as a method to diagnose serious health complaints. It is however a beautiful companion to western medicine as it works to move energy, freeing us to recognise, acknowledge and seek to heal what ails us on more than just the physical level. Reiki is a method of self-healing. We get out what we put in.

Reiki.

There are many variations of Reiki being practiced in the West today. Some practitioners have learnt systems of Reiki such as Usui, Seichim, Jikiden, Karuna, or Lightarian Reiki, yet others have come through training systems that incorporate massage, intuitive readings or angel messaging to Reiki treatments. Despite these differences, some of which can appear quite considerable, the energy of Reiki remains the same. In all its forms Reiki is one of the most effective and gentle methods of stress reduction, emotional healing and personal growth.

At Oakwood Reiki I practice the Usui System of Natural Healing. During a treatment you can expect to spend around one hour on the table, fully clothed and wrapped in a warm blanket while I gently place my hands on or over the head and body. There is no pressure, massage or manipulation just a gentle channelling of universal energy. During a treatment people express feeling a wide range of emotions from joy and contentment to the release of pain and sadness. Some people experience physical healing whilst others fall into a deep, rejuvenating sleep, everybody’s experience is different. In some cases the energy of Reiki is not immediately felt however the person experiences the benefits of it in their own time. At the end of the treatment there is time to discuss your experiences before heading back out into the world.
