Taps into your vital, primordial life-force energy — gently guiding your body back to balance, deep peace and calm.
A gentle, non-invasive yet powerful ancient hands-on healing technique that taps into the vital and intelligent life force energy that flows through our bodies and creates balance and harmony between the mind, body, emotional and spiritual spheres.
Originating in Japan and developed by Dr Mikao Usui, in the early 20th century, ‘rei’ meaning — universal + ‘ki’(Qi) meaning — life force/primordial energy. Reiki is based on the idea that we all have an unseen ‘life force/vital force’ known as ‘Ki’ (‘Qi), flowing throughout our bodies which can sometimes become depleted or blocked. Our bodies contain and transmit a bio-field emitting biophotons, a network of energy patterns that vibrate at different but normally harmonic levels. High vibrations ensure great health and wellbeing. Lower frequencies can result in energy imbalances, illness and disease. Research has shown that Reiki brings the body back into its ‘rest and digest’ state.
Appointments are available in-person in Woolloongabba. If this resonates with you, you’re welcome to book using the ‘Book’ button above.
Reiki can increase your sensitivity to ‘Ki’, balances your chakras, increases deep relaxation, facilitates a deeper soul connection, present moment awareness and assists you to become more attuned to your inner wisdom, intuition and improves clarity around your life’s purpose.
The process of attuning your body to your inner wisdom and natural ability to heal, will also help you release emotional blockages, stress, overwhelm and assist you in letting go of any limiting beliefs that no longer serve.
During your Reiki session, you’ll remain fully clothed while I gently place my hands on or just above your body in a series of nurturing placements. Reiki works in harmony with your body’s innate wisdom and natural ability to heal — helping to dissolve energy blockages, calm your nervous system and restore your life force energy (Ki). It’s a deeply soothing experience that supports healing where and how your body and soul need it most.
BEFORE MEETING TANYA, I FELT COMPLETELY BROKEN — PHYSICALLY, EMOTIONALLY AND MENTALLY.
“I had lost connection with myself and was trapped in my own inner struggles, hiding the pain I’d carried since childhood. Tanya helped me reconnect with who I truly am. She guided me with such compassion and wisdom that I began to see myself in a new light – not as a body weighed down by pain, but as a whole person capable of healing and growth.
Many people think fulfilment comes from success – the gym, work, goals, relationships – but none of that fills the emptiness inside. Tanya helped me realise that true healing begins when you finally choose you. When you wake up wanting to care for yourself first, no matter your circumstances, that’s where transformation begins. She helped me face my inner battles, rebuild my strength and start healing from within. Tanya works with your limitations and your life as it is – helping you find the courage to move forward with peace and self-belief. When I first saw her, I was undernourished and at one of the lowest points in my life – to the point where I didn’t see myself as a person but as the waste product of me, merely a shadow. My internal struggles were strong yet invisible to others because I had learned to hide them since childhood. But Tanya helped me reach within and see that I am not just a body – I am so much more.
Now I see my worth, my purpose, and my light again. Healing with Tanya has truly been life-changing. I am a regular now. Her private healing sanctum is a place where you awaken to yourself, where you remember that you are not broken, but becoming whole again. If you are lost or struggling, this is where you can finally come home to you.” — Priya, Greenslopes

What People Are Saying
Each journey at The Healing Sanctuary is unique — and I’m honoured by the trust my clients place in me. Here are some of the reflections they’ve generously shared from our time together.
“I didn’t quite know what to expect from Reiki, but I knew I needed something gentle and soothing. From the moment I stepped into Tanya’s space, I felt so comfortable. The session was deeply calming, but also unexpectedly emotional. There was a moment when I felt something lift – like a weight I didn’t realise I was carrying had finally softened. Tanya’s presence is so nurturing and intuitive. I could feel the care in her hands and the intention behind every movement. It wasn’t just energy work – it was a reset. Since the session, I’ve felt more balanced, less reactive and somehow more connected to myself. It’s hard to describe… like my inner world just feels calmer. Reiki with Tanya is like being brought back to centre – gently and with deep care. I’m so grateful I followed the nudge to book in.”
“Reiki with Tanya was unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I went in feeling scattered, anxious and emotionally drained…and left with a sense of lightness and deep inner calm. There were moments in the session where I could feel waves of energy moving through me – as if something old and heavy was gently being released. I didn’t need to explain or unpack anything. My body just knew what to do and Tanya held the space with such care and presence that I felt completely safe to let go. What touched me most was how seen and supported I felt. Since the session, I’ve felt more grounded, clearer in my emotions and more connected to myself in a steady way. Tanya’s Reiki is gentle, powerful and deeply restorative. I’m a regular now.”

“I wasn’t sure what to expect from Reiki. My girlfriend told me it was great, but I’ll admit I was a bit skeptical. I’m really glad I went through with it. Tanya instantly made me feel at ease. During the session, I felt my body fully relax in a way I hadn’t experienced in a long time. It was like my system could finally switch off. I walked out feeling lighter, clearer and more centred. It was a reset I didn’t realise I needed, at least not as much as I did.”
“Tanya has a rare mix of skill, wisdom, insight and genuine care. She is so compassionate and non-judgmental and has helped me move through difficult times providing me with so much support. There’s something about her way of working that just makes sense. It’s grounded, intelligent and deeply human. I didn’t really know what to expect when I first started this work, but I was open to the process. Over time, through Counselling, Hypnotherapy and Neuro-Emotional Balance Therapy, I experienced shifts that were both subtle yet profound. My sessions gave me deep clarity on where I was stuck and the limiting patterns I had been running in the background for years. I began to feel calmer, more focused and more in tune with myself, just more comfortable in my own skin really.
The Facial Emotional Therapy and Reiki sessions were beyond anything I’ve literally ever experienced – deeply healing, restorative and transformative. They reconnected me with a part of myself I hadn’t felt in a long time and brought a profound sense of peace and renewal to my body, especially after navigating prostate cancer. I walked away from those sessions feeling not only lighter and more balanced, but genuinely and deeply cared for. The shifts I’ve experienced through her work continue to shape my life for the better.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Why Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive hands-on healing technique that works with the body’s own life force energy — known as ‘Ki’ or ‘Qi’. This intelligent energy flows through us and is essential for our health, vitality and emotional balance. When that energy becomes blocked, depleted or disrupted (often due to stress, trauma or emotional overwhelm), we can begin to feel unwell, disconnected or out of alignment.
Reiki gently restores harmony by balancing your energy field, calming your nervous system and supporting your body’s innate healing intelligence. It’s a profoundly relaxing experience that works on the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels — helping you return to a state of inner peace and natural flow.
During your Reiki session, you’ll remain fully clothed and rest comfortably while I place my hands gently on or just above your body in a series of nurturing, intuitive placements. Clients often describe the experience as deeply calming, soothing or gently warming — with sensations of soft waves, tingling, emotional release or even a floating sensation.
Some people feel immediate shifts — such as clarity, peace or emotional lightness — while others experience more subtle changes that unfold in the days after. Reiki supports exactly what your body and soul need in the moment. Whether that’s physical relief, emotional balance or a deeper reconnection to yourself, Reiki will meet you there.
Reiki works beautifully to release emotional blockages and gently recalibrate the nervous system — making it especially powerful for those moving through grief, burnout, anxiety or emotional stress. Because emotions directly affect our energetic frequency, unresolved emotional pain can disrupt the body’s ability to stay in balance.
Reiki elevates your vibration on a cellular level, clears stagnant energy and helps restore the rest-and-digest state (where healing becomes possible). Over time, it can also support greater clarity, intuition, present-moment awareness and a stronger connection with your inner wisdom. It’s not about fixing you — it’s about helping you remember your natural state of balance and wholeness.
