An invitation to pause & reconnect
hāpai /ha:paɪ/ (Māori) : to support, shoulder / to lift up, elevate / to set off on a journey.
Hello & welcome,
First and foremost, I would like to thank you for being here.
I’m Laurie, a Space Holder & Reiki Master Practitioner based in Cornwall, UK. I offer in-person & online reiki sessions & circles as well as hold retreats & workshops.
Hāpai Holistic is rooted in my wish to invite you to go back to basics, look at life as a whole & truly appreciate its simplicity.
If this is as far as you go & you only take one thing from your visit, then let this be it : Make time & notice, whether it is a quiet pause to breathe consciously or a nice cup of tea in the sun to feel the warmth.

Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese technique which promotes healing, stress reduction & relaxation. It is based on the idea that as energy (chi/ki/prana/life force) flows through us, we can raise its frequency in order to restore physical and emotional well-being. We, as practitioner, do so by holding space for you & by directing the energy through touch, off-body or even at distance in order to activate your natural healing processes.
This system was developed by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. It is a non-invasive complementary therapy that has been taught and used in the UK since the late 1900s, but Eastern medicine has for thousands of years worked with this energy, recognising its flow through all living things.
PERSONALLY
Reiki, for me, is a very simple & loving state of connection to our natural flow. I, as a practitioner, get the privilege of creating and holding a safe space for you to pause & reconnect, for you to listen to your own rhythm & needs.
