Distance Reiki Sessions, UK-Wide & Worldwide
What is distance Reiki?
Distance Reiki, sometimes called remote Reiki, online Reiki or absent healing, is a session where we are not in the same room. In the Reiki tradition, energy isn’t considered bound by location, so distance healing is understood to work just as a hands-on session does.

Please refresh the page, or email me at thereikispacebuxton@gmail.com with a few times that suit you, and I will be in touch within 24 hours.
Preparing for your session
- Find somewhere quiet where you won’t be disturbed for the length of your session, and silence your notifications.
- Lie down or sit comfortably, fully clothed. A blanket nearby helps if you tend to get cold.
- Have a glass of water to hand for afterwards.
- Your confirmation email includes a link to join via video call. Click it at your session time. It opens in your web browser, so there is nothing to download.
- Keep your phone or device charged and nearby.
- If you can, allow a little quiet time afterwards rather than rushing straight back into your day.

What a session feels like
Before every session, I spend time in meditation connecting with Reiki through a practice called gassho.
Sessions start with a short, relaxed chat. You can tell me how you’ve been and if there is anything in particular you’d like me to focus on. If you’d rather not say much, that’s absolutely fine. I meet people where they’re at, and ultimately it’s the energy that does the work. During your session, you are welcome to keep your camera on, and equally welcome to turn it off if you would prefer the privacy.
Then you get comfortable and relax while I channel the energy. Some people feel their mood lift as the session progresses, and others find themselves dropping effortlessly into deep states of meditation. At the end of the session I bring you gently back to the present moment and answer any closing questions you may have, before you continue with the rest of your day.
About your practitioner
Thomas Martin
Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Practitioner
I’m a holistic therapist and Reiki practitioner based in Buxton in the UK. I have been practising Reiki since 2018, and I bring the same care and presence to every client, whether we meet in person or remotely. People often tell me I have a calm, grounded presence and a knack for putting people at ease.
What I love about distance Reiki is that I get to meet people from all walks of life and every corner of the globe. After all these years I’m still amazed that Reiki can reach someone hundreds or even thousands of miles away, through a laptop screen or a phone!
What clients say
"I had a lovely distance Reiki session with Thomas. I initially felt a little restless, but as the session progressed I became increasingly calm and relaxed, and could feel the energy moving steadily upward through my body. I really appreciate the feedback he shared afterwards. The whole experience felt gentle, grounding and insightful."
"There’s something truly special about receiving energy work from someone who holds space as beautifully as Thomas does… I highly recommend Thomas as a Reiki Practitioner."
Common questions about distance Reiki
Within the Reiki tradition, energy is not considered limited by physical distance, so a remote session is understood to work in the same way as one given in person. Many clients find distance Reiki just as settled and supportive as being in the treatment room. As with all Reiki, it is a complementary practice for relaxation and wellbeing rather than a medical treatment.
Book a time online via the live calendar. Shortly before your session, find somewhere quiet and comfortable to lie down or sit. At your session time, simply join the video call using the link in your confirmation email.
Just a smartphone, tablet or computer with an internet connection, and a comfortable, undisturbed spot. You remain fully clothed, and you do not need any special equipment. You are welcome to keep your camera off if you would rather not be seen.
Many clients find it difficult to tell the difference. I hold the same dedicated time, quiet preparation and attentive presence as I would in the treatment room, so a distance session can feel every bit as relaxing and supportive.

No. Plenty of people drift off, and that is usually a sign the body felt safe enough to let go. You do not need to concentrate, visualise, or do anything at all.
Reiki is gentle and non-invasive, and the UK Reiki Federation describes it as safe for mothers-to-be. Please tick pregnancy on the health check when you book so that I know, and as with any complementary therapy, check with your midwife or GP if you have concerns.
There is no set number. Many people book a single session when they need one, with no expectation of coming back. Others book every few weeks because they find it keeps them steadier. Start with one and see how you feel.

Reiki is a complementary practice that supports relaxation and wellbeing. It is not a substitute for medical care and does not diagnose, treat or cure any condition. Please continue with any treatment advised by your doctor.
