Not every treatment at Solace involves a lot of movement. One of the most profound ones involves almost none.
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice that works with the body’s natural life force. It is gentle, non-invasive, and quietly effective in ways that tend to surprise people who come in without strong expectations.
Jewel Dubuc, one of our massage and spa therapists at Solace, has been offering Reiki here for some time. We asked her about her approach and what guests can expect.
What a Reiki Session at Solace Actually Looks Like
“My approach to Reiki is rooted in deep listening and trust,” Jewel says. She sees her role not as directing the session, but as holding a grounded presence while the energy moves.
“Sessions are intentionally simple and focused, allowing the body to settle into rest while the energy moves in its own way.”
Clients arrive either with a specific intention or simply as they are, and both are equally welcome.
“While Reiki often feels gentle, it can also be deeply profound, supporting meaningful shifts in the body and mind.”
For those who prefer a clothed, quieter holistic spa treatment, Reiki offers something distinct from more hands-on bodywork. It can also be added to an existing session, weaving a thread of stillness through treatments that involve more active touch.
How Reiki Fits Within a Holistic Spa Experience
One of the things that makes Reiki a natural fit at Solace is how well it integrates with other treatments. Jewel describes it as creating a moment of pause, “a space to slow down, breathe, and allow the body to integrate.”
Alongside a Solace Massage, for example, she says the session can feel more complete, “like everything has been held, integrated, and gently brought together.”
Solace offers three holistic spa treatments in this quieter, energetic tradition: Reiki, CranioSacral Therapy, and Reflexology. CranioSacral therapy works with the rhythms of the body’s fluid and tissues through light, intuitive touch, supporting nervous system relief and recalibration. Reflexology connects the body’s systems through the reflex points of the feet. Each can be booked as a standalone 60-minute session or added as a 30-minute enhancement to another treatment.
Who Is Reiki For?
Jewel’s answer is simple: “Reiki is for anyone and everyone.”
It tends to resonate with people drawn to subtle, energetic work, or those who are simply curious. It suits anyone looking for deep rest without a lot of stimulation, or those working through something they can’t quite name but can feel.
At a holistic health spa like Solace, that kind of offering matters. Not everything that needs tending shows up on the surface.
