Hi, my name is Claudia, I’m an intuitive Reiki Therapist
If you're feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself — this is a space where you can rest, release, and remember what it feels like to be held.

I'm a Reiki practitioner with a natural gift for creating spaces of deep safety and transformation. My work is rooted in presence, intuitive touch, and a profound attunement to what each person needs in the moment they arrive.
Through grounded, heart-centered sessions, I help clients find calm, clarity, and nervous system regulation — not as concepts, but as felt experiences in the body. My background includes formal Reiki training alongside years of personal practice in meditation and somatic awareness, which has taught me that true healing happens when we're met exactly where we are.
Guided by presence and deep listening, I work with clients to reconnect with their bodies, release emotions that have been held for too long, and remember the wholeness that has always been there. My sessions aren't about fixing or forcing — they're about creating the conditions for your system to soften, recalibrate, and return to itself.
I work with people navigating stress, burnout, grief, or emotional overload — and those simply seeking a space to reset and feel held again. Clients often leave with a renewed sense of coherence, groundedness, and trust in their own capacity to heal.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle energy healing practice that supports the body's natural ability to return to balance and wellbeing. Originating in Japan, Reiki works primarily by calming the nervous system and creating space for physical, emotional, and energetic release.
During a session, light touch or hands placed just above the body allow energy to flow where it is needed. There's no force or manipulation — just deep presence and attunement to what your system needs.
Benefits of Reiki:
- Deep nervous system regulation and relaxation
- Release of stored tension, emotions, and energetic blockages
- Mental clarity and reduced anxiety
- Relief from stress, burnout, and overwhelm
- Support for chronic pain, fatigue, and physical recovery
- Restoration of natural energy flow and vitality
- Greater connection to your body, intuition, and life force
- Emotional release and processing of grief or unresolved feelings
- Reconnection to your innate wholeness and creative capacity
- Support during life transitions, trauma recovery, or periods of change
- A sense of being "cleared" — allowing your body's innate intelligence to function freely again
Reiki doesn't require you to believe in anything or do anything. It simply meets you where you are and creates the conditions for your body to restore itself.
Sessions are one-to-one and last 60 minutes. We begin with a brief consultation to understand what you're experiencing and what you need. You then lie down fully clothed in a comfortable, safe space while I work with light touch or hands hovering above the body.
Sessions are held with soft music and gentle presence. Afterward, there's space for reflection and integration if needed.
Many clients leave feeling calm, grounded, recharged, and clearer — with a sense of release and ease in their bodies.
What to Expect
What should I wear?
Wear whatever feels comfortable. You remain fully clothed throughout the session — soft, loose clothing works well.
Will I feel anything during the session?
Everyone's experience is different. Some people feel warmth, tingling, or gentle waves of energy. Others experience deep relaxation, emotional release, or simply a quiet sense of peace. There's no "right" way to experience Reiki — whatever arises is exactly what's needed.
How many sessions do I need?
Many people feel a shift after just one session. For deeper work — especially around chronic stress, grief, or long-held patterns — a series of 3–6 sessions can be deeply supportive. We can discuss what feels right for you.
Is Reiki safe for everyone?
Yes. Reiki is gentle, non-invasive, and works with your body's own healing capacity. It's safe during pregnancy, alongside medical treatment, and for all ages. If you have specific health concerns, feel free to mention them during our initial consultation.

Training & Background
I am trained in Usui Reiki Level 2, a traditional Japanese lineage of energy healing. My practice is also informed by years of personal work in meditation, somatic awareness, and nervous system regulation. I approach each session with deep presence, intuition, and respect for the unique process each person is moving through.
“Claudia’s Reiki work is defined by extraordinary attunement and presence. She is not only a skilled Reiki practitioner but a deeply grounded and caring human being.
I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone navigating stress, burnout, grief, or emotional overload, or simply seeking a space to reset and reconnect.
Her sessions don’t just relax you — they restore coherence, clarity, and a sense of being gently held by life again.”
Simon, London
“I feel very much in love. We have turned a corner and I have been travelling a bit. My central nervous system has calmed down considerably after seeing you and I am now sober which is really positive for me.
Thank you so much for being you Claudia.”
Bari, London
“I recently had a Reiki session with Claudia and she is incredibly sensitive and intuitive where she is able to tune into your energy with remarkable clarity. From the moment the session began, I felt completely safe, nurtured, and deeply cared for.
Her gentle presence and intuitive guidance created a space where I could fully relax and allow the healing energy to flow. I left feeling lighter, balanced, and deeply supported. Thank you so much for the love!”
Preeti, London
“I had a wonderful Reiki treatment with Claudia and found it deeply relaxing, soothing and very meditative. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful, which allowed me to fully switch off and unwind. I felt wonderfully relaxed throughout the session, and afterwards I had a great sense of positive energy and balance. A truly nourishing experience for both body and mind — highly recommended. Thank you Claudia, I'm looking forward to next time.”
Danica, Switzerland
