Heidi holding a Reiki and Meditations group evening at Well Bath.

Workshop at Well Bath

Reiki and Meditations Monthly Group Healing

A softer entry into Reiki, held for a group

Everyone lies down. The lights come low. Heidi guides meditation and holds Reiki for the whole room at once. Once a month Heidi holds a group healing evening at Well Bath. It combines guided meditation with Reiki, held for the whole room. Everyone lies down, the lights come low, and the session unfolds without expectation.

Heidi first met Reiki at The College of Psychic Studies in London in 2002. She has been a Reiki Master and Teacher since 2008 and, over more than two decades of practice, has extended her work to include Energy Clearing, Home Healing, Meditation Teaching and Feng Shui Consulting. Both her one-to-ones and these group evenings sit inside that longer arc.

The room is held quietly. Heidi guides a meditation while Reiki is offered for the whole room, and the session moves between guided passages and stretches of stillness. Nothing is done to you in the ordinary sense — you receive what the room is holding. This is a good first door for anyone curious about Reiki but not ready for a one-to-one session, and a good deepener for those who already work with her.

What people bring

Presentations commonly worked with

The group evening is a container for the whole nervous system to be met at a lower cost than a one-to-one session. What people arrive with is usually less a specific complaint and more a wish to be held.

Curiosity about Reiki without wanting to commit to a full session
Nervous-system unsteadiness after a long working stretch
Sleep that has been shallow or slow to arrive
Anxiety that responds to stillness rather than to talking
Grief, transition, or a stretch of low mood
Regular one-to-one Reiki clients wanting to feel the work in a group container
Wanting a monthly rhythm that costs less than repeated one-to-ones

The group evening is a supportive container, not a medical treatment. If you are working with a diagnosed condition, Reiki is a complement to rather than a replacement for medical care. Mention anything relevant to Heidi on arrival.

What a session is like

From arrival to the last breath in the room

The evening runs ninety minutes on a Friday once a month. This is the shape of it.

01

Arrival and settling

Front door, tea from the Welsh dresser, into the studio. Mats, bolsters and blankets set out. Take a place on the floor or a chair, whichever suits.
02

Heidi opens

A short welcome, an outline of how the evening runs, permission to shift, to leave to the loo, to sit up if lying is not for you tonight.
03

Opening meditation

A gentle guided meditation to bring the room into the same register. Nothing demanding.
04

The Reiki-held middle

The main body of the evening. Heidi holds Reiki for the whole room while a guided passage or a stretch of stillness moves through. Some people fall asleep. Some notice heat, colour, memory. Some notice nothing during the session and feel the difference the next day.
05

Held silence

A longer stretch of quiet before closing. This is often where the body finally settles.
06

Closing

Heidi brings the room back gently, no rush to sit up, tea and quiet conversation in the foyer for anyone who wants to stay.

Weighing it up

Group Healing versus one-to-one Reiki

Both are held by Heidi. Both draw on the same modality. They meet different needs.

	Group Healing evening	One-to-one Reiki
Setting	A group container in the studio.	A one-to-one session in the therapy room.
Attention	Heidi holds the whole room together.	The full hour is on you.
Register	A shared, held evening.	A deeper, more specific piece of work.
Cost	Workshop rate — a softer entry point.	Standard one-to-one session rate.
Best if you	Are curious, or want a regular monthly rhythm.	Want dedicated time and a full hour on your specific presentation.

Many of Heidi's regulars use both — the monthly evening for the rhythm, the one-to-ones when something specific calls.

What the evidence says

Research and clinical literature

Reiki and related energy-work practices have a growing evidence base for anxiety, pain, and quality of life, though the field is smaller than the meditation literature.

Randomised trials of Reiki report reductions in anxiety and pain across a range of clinical populations, with effect sizes similar to other complementary therapies.

Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice · Thrane & Cohen · 2014
Reiki sessions are associated with measurable reductions in heart rate and blood pressure during and after the session compared with baseline in observational studies.

Group-format energy work shows short-term improvements in perceived wellbeing and reductions in psychological distress across small trials.

Questions people ask

Before you book

Do I need to know anything about Reiki? +

No. Heidi explains what she is doing at the start. Nothing is required of you technically.

Will Heidi touch me? +

Reiki at Well Bath is offered without touch during the group evening — Heidi holds the room from her own space. If you attend a one-to-one, touch is entirely optional and always agreed at the start.

What might I feel during the session? +

It varies widely. Some people feel heat, tingling, or a sense of settling. Some see colours or images. Some feel very little during the evening and notice the effect the next day. There is no wrong response.

How often is the evening held? +

Monthly, usually on the first Friday of the month. Booking through the site names the next date.

Can I bring a friend? +

Yes — many people arrive to their first Reiki evening with someone. The container works well with newcomers alongside long-time practitioners.

What do I bring? +

Layers you will be warm in — the body cools when it stops moving. Mats, bolsters, blankets and eye covers are provided.

Is this suitable during pregnancy? +

Generally yes. Reiki is often chosen by people in pregnancy as a soft container. Mention it to Heidi on arrival so she can help you find comfortable propping.
