Universal Life Energy
Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing art that restores and promotes the body's natural energy flow for deep relaxation and wellbeing.
Send me a messageReiki (霊気) is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. The word consists of two Japanese words: rei (universal) and ki (life energy). It is based on the idea that an invisible 'life force energy' flows through us and keeps us alive.
Reiki was developed in the early 20th century by Mikao Usui in Japan. The method works through gentle hand positions on or above the body, using the practitioner's energy as a channel to clear blockages and restore the flow of energy.
Reiki is not a replacement for regular medical care, but a complement that helps you find inner peace, reduce tension, and promote overall wellbeing.

"Healing begins from within — I guide you on that journey."

Serge van de Ven
My journey with Reiki began more than three years ago, at a time when I myself needed rest, balance, and renewal. What started as a personal exploration grew into a deep calling: guiding others on their path toward inner harmony.
I believe that every person has the capacity to heal — and that Reiki can be a gentle yet powerful key to opening that door. In my sessions, I combine traditional Usui Reiki with a warm, personal approach tailored to your unique needs.
My practice is a safe, quiet space where you are welcome exactly as you are — without judgment, with full presence.

What makes my training special: Li-Li was initiated by Phyllis Lei Furumoto, the granddaughter of Hawayo Takata — the woman who brought Reiki from Japan to the West. Phyllis carried the spiritual lineage forward as Grandmaster, passing on the essence of Usui Shiki Ryoho from generation to generation. This authentic lineage forms the heart of the Reiki I share with you.

Reiki supports processing emotional pain, grief, or trauma by creating a safe space for healing and release.

A Session
A Reiki session typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes. You remain fully clothed and lie comfortably on a treatment table. The practitioner gently places their hands on or above various parts of the body.
Many people experience warmth, tingling, a sense of heaviness or lightness. Others fall into a deep sleep. Every body responds differently, and that is completely normal.
We discuss your wishes, any concerns, and what you expect from the session.
You lie down comfortably. Calming music, scent, and atmosphere guide your relaxation.
Through carefully placed hand positions, energy is channeled and blockages are released.
We reflect on the experience and you may receive advice to take home.
