Reiki
With Ola Walsh | Usui Reiki Master Practitioner
CNHC Registered | Member of the UK Reiki Federation & Reiki NZ | Fully Insured
I offer 60 and 90-minute Reiki sessions in person in Wellington and Palmerston North, New Zealand, and via Distance Reiki worldwide — and for those ready to go deeper, a beautiful four-week immersive journey: The Unfolding.
The Benefits of Reiki
When did you last feel truly at ease in yourself?
Sometimes we carry more than we realise. The pace of life pulls us outward, away from our bodies, away from ourselves, and the body quietly holds what the mind can't process. Maybe life feels heavy. You've lost your sense of self. You're navigating a transition you didn't choose. You need rest that sleep alone can't provide. You want to feel like yourself again.
Whatever brings you here, you are welcome.
Reiki works with the body's own natural energy to gently restore balance.
Reiki can help with pain, migraines, fatigue, insomnia, grief, anxiety, depression, low confidence, infertility, autoimmune conditions, chemotherapy side effects, post-surgery recovery and much more.
There are no contraindications with Reiki, making it safe and nurturing for everyone — including pregnant women, babies, children, the elderly and pets.

1:1 Reiki Healing
Sessions
The Light Within - 1:1 Reiki Sessions
60 or 90 minutes | In Person
Investment:
60 min Reiki | NZD $120 / GBP £60
90 min Reiki & Sound | NZD $160 / GBP £80
A beautifully tailored Reiki treatment designed to support your body, mind and energy system. Gentle yet powerful, these sessions work to calm the nervous system, clear emotional and energetic blockages, and encourage balance across all levels of being.
Reiki is safe and nurturing for everyone, including expectant mothers, those with chronic conditions, children and pets.
There is also the option to incorporate sound or an on-body Himalayan Bowl treatment to support deeper relaxation and energy flow.
"The healing space Ola created with her sound therapy and Reiki has been truly transformative, and came into my world at exactly the right moment, navigating both my breast cancer journey and a difficult separation from my children's dad. Those moments of connection and insight have given me strength and hope during some of my darkest days, and helped me find my centre amidst the storm."

Distance Reiki Healing Sessions
Distance Reiki Healing Sessions
60 or 90 minutes | Distance/Remote (for my International friends)
Investment:
60 min Reiki | NZD $120 / GBP £60
90 min Reiki & Sound | NZD $160 / GBP £80
Reiki energy is not bound by space or time, making Distance Reiki just as powerful and effective as an in-person session. Whether you're unable to travel, based overseas, or simply prefer to receive healing from the comfort of your own home, the support is exactly the same.
How does Distance Reiki work?
We now know that energy fields extend beyond the physical body. Just as radio waves travel invisibly through the air and wifi connects devices across vast distances, healing energy is not limited by physical proximity - or indeed, time.
Distance is a physical concept. Energy is not. When two people are connected with intention and focus, that connection transcends space entirely.
Some of my most profound sessions have been remote - it truly has to be experienced to be understood.
If you have any questions, or would like to know more about how Distance Reiki works, check the FAQ section below, or get in touch to book a call, I’d love to connect with you.
As an optional addition, I can create a personalised guided meditation and sound bath recording to complement your session - gently guiding you in and out of the healing space, and designed specifically for you. Yours to keep and return to whenever you feel called. Please get in touch for pricing.
"You will be transported to a place of deep relaxation that is difficult to reach with traditional meditation or other relaxation efforts. Ola makes you feel at ease as soon as you meet her — I felt the benefits for several days after each session, and always slept super deeply on the day”

The Unfolding — A Journey Home
The Unfolding - A 4-week journey home
In Person & Distance
4 x 60 min Reiki | NZD $420 (saving $60) | GBP £210 (saving £30)
4 x 90 min Reiki & Sound | NZD $560 (saving $80) | GBP £280 (saving £40)
The Unfolding is a four-week immersive journey designed for those who are ready to go deeper. Not a quick fix. Not a single session. But a dedicated, held container for real and lasting transformation.
Over four weeks, we work together intuitively - each session building on the last, gently moving through whatever needs to be met.
This journey is for you if you are:
Navigating a significant life transition
Carrying grief, trauma or old patterns that feel stuck
Recovering from illness, burnout or emotional exhaustion
Feeling disconnected from yourself
Simply ready, and you know it
Each session is completely tailored to you - Reiki, sound therapy, energy work, embodied reflection - woven together intuitively according to what you need in that moment.
Between sessions you will receive personalised practices to support your integration — gentle tools to carry the work into your everyday life.
If you choose a 90-minute Distance Reiki & Sound session, I will include a bespoke pre-recorded sound journey every week — personally created for you, yours to keep and return to whenever you feel called.
Reiki Seasonal Bundles & Gift Cards
Seasonal self-care
Nature moves in cycles — and so do we.
Each season brings its own energy, its own challenges, and an invitation to pause, reset and realign.
Working with Reiki seasonally creates a rhythm of care that supports you through life's natural ebbs and flows. Coming to each session with a simple intention, however small, grounds the experience and gives the energy somewhere to go. Over time, the effects are cumulative. Clients often notice that what begins as a single session becomes something they look forward to returning to.
Our seasonal bundles are a simple way to invest in that rhythm.
Buy a bundle, use it in your own time, at your own pace — in person or at distance. Sessions can be gifted to someone you love, and payment plans are available for the 6 and 12-session bundles.
INCLUDED:
Enjoy a free 45-minute Seasonal Sound Recording with every bundle purchased.
Yours to keep and return to whenever you feel called.
Autumn & Winter | 2 sessions

NZD $630 ($90 Saving) / GBP £315 (£45 Saving)
A deeper commitment to your wellbeing. Six months of regular Reiki creates lasting, cumulative change, building resilience, clarity and a growing sense of inner resource.

The Gift of Moja
A Moja Gift Card can be used towards any session or bundle — Reiki, Sound Therapy, or a seasonal self-care package. In person or at distance, wherever in the world they are.

The perfect gift for someone navigating a difficult time, a milestone moment, or simply in need of a little more stillness in their life.
A few things worth knowing….
Making Wellbeing Accessible
As someone who has navigated chronic illness and cancer, I understand firsthand how difficult it can be to access the support you need when you need it most. I offer a sliding scale for single sessions for those facing genuine financial hardship alongside a health challenge or caring responsibility.
If you are unsure what you can afford, please just get in touch. I'm always happy to have that conversation.
Always consult your doctor if you have health concerns
Finally, Reiki is a complementary therapy that works beautifully alongside conventional medical treatment. It should never be used as a replacement for professional medical advice. Always consult your doctor if you have any serious health concerns.
Session Times
In-person: Weekdays 9am–6pm | Saturdays 10am–4pm
Distance Reiki: Weekday evenings and Sundays
Location: For in-person sessions Palmerston North & Wellington, New Zealand

Reiki with Ola
Perhaps you've stumbled across this page out of curiosity. Maybe someone you trust recommended Reiki and you'd like to learn more. Either way — welcome. I'm glad you're here.
My journey to Reiki
Magic was never far away in my childhood — quiet, practical and passed down through the women in my family. My grandmother read fortunes, my mother read palms, and I taught myself everything I could about crystals, herbs and tarot. Curiosity has always been my compass. I've always been drawn to the edges of what we can see and explain.
In 2015, I received my first Reiki treatment in Indonesia. I went in uncertain…perhaps a little sceptical, but the emotional shift I experienced was seismic. I’ll never forget it.
When I was later diagnosed with breast cancer, I was living on a house bus in New Zealand. Space and resources were limited, so I turned inward — to the practices that had always served me well: mindfulness, meditation, yoga and energy healing. Alongside my medical treatment, these became my anchor. I found profound peace, clarity and transformation on that little bus.
I had always assumed Reiki was something only certain people could do. I turned to my life coach, also a Reiki Practitioner, and asked if it was something I could learn. She assured me it was, recommended some books, became my mentor, and the rest unfolded from there.
Back in the UK, I began to walk the path. I trained in Reiki with Gwen Allison, who herself trained with renowned Reiki Master Torsten Lange, and in sound therapy with the British Academy of Sound Therapy, where I graduated with Distinction. I also worked alongside therapists and care workers in a residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre — two years that deepened my understanding of trauma, recovery and what it truly means to hold space for another person.

Reiki Frequently Asked Questions
-
A Reiki session is deeply gentle and completely non-invasive. You remain fully clothed throughout, lying comfortably on a therapy couch or sitting in a chair — whichever feels right for you. For Distance Reiki, you simply relax in the comfort of your own home. During the session I will place my hands either lightly on the body or just above it — working intuitively across the energy centres, spending more time wherever I feel the greatest need for rebalancing.
-
Every person's experience is unique. You might notice warmth, tingling or a gentle buzzing sensation, a feeling of lightness or deep heaviness, colours or imagery behind closed eyes, a rush of energy moving through the body, a rumbling tummy, or simply deep relaxation — many people fall asleep as the brain enters theta and delta wave states, which are profoundly restorative. Occasionally people experience an emotional release — tears, laughter, or shifts in breathing. This is completely normal and simply indicates energy moving through the body. Sometimes shifts are more subtle, building gently over time. You may feel nothing at all in those first few sessions, but notice subtle shifts or dreams in the coming days. Experience has shown me that no two sessions are ever the same.
-
Wear comfortable, loose clothing and avoid alcohol and caffeine before your session. Arrive with an open mind and no fixed expectations — and have a journal nearby if you'd like to note your experience afterwards.

-
I encourage you to drink plenty of water, as this supports the release of toxins from the body. Things really can move during our sessions together! The Reiki continues working for up to three days — notice what shifts, what surfaces and what settles. The effects are cumulative, with all of my clients reporting an increased sense of wellbeing over time.
-
Some people experience immediate and powerful shifts. Others notice something more subtle — a quieter mind, a better night's sleep, a sense of ease they can't quite explain. Both are valid. Approach the process with openness and trust that the healing is going exactly where it needs to.
-
We'll have a brief call before the session to talk about what brings you to Reiki and agree on a suitable time. Simply find somewhere comfortable in your home where you can sit or lie down and relax. You might like to light a candle and play some soft music. I'll message you ten minutes before we begin to make sure you're ready. No screens or laptops needed — just you, your space and an open mind. Once your session is complete, I'll be in touch to share feedback and post-Reiki care advice.
-
Absolutely. After in-person sessions we'll have time to share and reflect together. For Distance Reiki, I'll send you a voice note or message with my observations shortly after — and I'd love to hear about your experience too. If you'd like a follow-up call, I'm happy to schedule one a day or two later once you've had time to integrate.
-
This is entirely personal — and I believe you will know intuitively what feels right for you. Some people feel a profound shift after a single session. Others benefit from consistent, ongoing support as part of a longer healing journey.
I will always be honest with you about what I feel would serve you best, and I will never push you towards a particular package or commitment. If I feel another therapy or service would better support your needs, I will signpost you accordingly.
Trust yourself. I'm here to guide, not to prescribe.
-
Yes — Reiki can be sent and given to pets and animals with wonderful results.
-
As someone who has navigated chronic illness and cancer, I understand firsthand how difficult it can be to access the support you need when you need it most. I offer a sliding scale for single sessions for those facing genuine financial hardship alongside a health challenge or caring responsibility.
If you are unsure what you can afford, please just get in touch. I'm always happy to have that conversation.
-
Simply message me to purchase a bundle and schedule your first session. There's no fixed timetable — use your passes at a pace that works for you, in person or via Distance Reiki. The seasons are just guides — a way to set an intention for the practice.
-
Yes - passes are redeemable against any 60 minute Reiki session, in person or at distance. If you'd like to upgrade to a 90 minute session, you can top up the difference at the time of booking.
-
Absolutely. Reiki passes make a beautiful and meaningful gift — simply get in touch and I'll arrange everything for you.
-
Payment plans are available for the 6 and 12 session bundles. Please get in touch to discuss what works best for you.
