Reiki is a Japanese energy-based practice in which the practitioner places their hands lightly on, or just above, the client's body in a series of positions, from the head to the feet. The client lies fully clothed on a treatment couch. Practitioners describe channelling energy to promote balance; there is no scientific evidence for such energy, but clients consistently report feeling deeply relaxed and calm.
It is one of the gentlest therapies available and is offered in holistic centres, spas and some hospices and cancer support services, where it is valued for comfort. It suits people who do not want massage, or who find touch difficult, since it can be given entirely hands-off. Reiki is taught in levels or "degrees", and many centres also run training courses.
A 60-minute session usually costs £40 to £70, and distance sessions are often offered by the same practitioners. Look for membership of the UK Reiki Federation or registration with the CNHC. Reiki should complement, never replace, medical treatment, and a reputable practitioner will not claim to diagnose or cure.

Mayfair, Knightsbridge and Chelsea are home to the five-star hotel spas, where a spa day with lunch is priced as a special occasion and weekend slots go weeks ahead. Shoreditch has led the city's bathhouse and social sauna boom, with hot–cold circuits in railway arches and on rooftops that open late and book by the ninety-minute session. Kensington and Paddington hold the established holistic clinics, combining acupuncture, osteopathy and reflexology under one roof, while Soho's studios run yoga, breathwork and sound baths from early morning to late evening.
