My Journey to Energy Healing

My name is Tanya, and I am the founder and practitioner behind RootsReiki. My path to energy healing, and specifically to Reiki, was not a sudden revelation, but rather an incredibly gentle unfolding, much like a seed slowly pushing through the earth to find the light.

Through a series of interesting events, I was led to Reiki. And it has been something of a homecoming, a re-remembering, an exhale.

From my very first session, I was captivated by its profound simplicity and its remarkable ability to bring about deep relaxation, clarity, and a sense of calm - a reconnection to a fundamental peace that had always been there, just beneath the surface.

Your Path to Balance and Well-being

Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a gentle, non-invasive Japanese energy healing technique for stress reduction, deep relaxation, and to support the body's natural healing processes. It's based on the understanding that an unseen "life force energy" flows through all living things. When this energy is balanced and flowing freely, we experience greater well-being; when it's low or blocked, we might feel unwell or out of sorts. A Reiki practitioner acts as a channel for this universal energy, helping to restore balance and harmony within you.

Testimonials

I feel deeply grateful to have received a Reiki session from Tanya. This gift came to me in a time when I was dealing with a great deal of anxiety and was in need of gentle, energetic support. The Reiki session felt warm, safe and restful and allowed me to easily drop into a parasympathetic state. Almost immediately post session I felt myself restored, lighter, clearer, and more centered. Tanya’s observations of our session were curiously insightful and valuable too. Her bedside manner is impeccable, her healing room beautiful, and the Reiki she offers feels truly authentic and loving. I would highly recommend Roots Reiki for anyone who is seeking gentle energetic alignment and support.

Andria

Tanya’s gentle yet anchored presence has been like nothing I’ve experienced before. I transported to a place where I was reminded that I’m safe and was able to rekindle my relationship to self. Tanya’s ability to communicate with the parts of me that needed healing is truly remarkable and with confidence I’ll say that you’re in the best hands (literally) during a Reiki session with her.
Replenished, reminded, reassured.

Leani

Tanya is the best Reiki practitioner in Hermanus. Her intuition is spot on and treatment professional, thorough and super relaxing. I would recommend to anyone in need of Reiki healing.

Rhoda

It was my first experience ever with Reiki and all I can say is, I can’t wait for my next session. Tanya really makes you feel safe and allows you to lean into the session fully! Highly recommend.

What Does a Reiki Session Feel Like?

Most people experience a profound sense of peace and deep relaxation during a Reiki session. You might feel a gentle warmth, tingling sensations, or subtle pulses from the practitioner's hands. Some clients fall into a meditative state or even drift off to sleep, which is perfectly normal and a sign of deep relaxation. Others feel nothing at all, which is also completely fine – the energy is still working!

Each experience is unique and depends on what your body and energy system need at that moment.
