Reiki Therapy & Crystal Healing
The word Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) comes from ancient Japanese and translates as ‘Universal Healing Life Force Energy’. The Japanese word ‘Ki’, its Chinese counterpart ‘Chi’ as well as the Indian ‘Prana’ all refer to the highest vibration of electromagnetic energy which engulfs and surrounds the entire Universe. The Reiki healing energy force makes us the emotional, thoughtful and caring people that we are.

in the 20th century. Reiki is a natural healing energy that works on every level, not just the
physical, and is understood to promote the body’s regenerative self-healing ability."

We offer tailor made reiki, massage and reflexology sessions for cancer NHS patients to accommodate for particular needs and to support them while receiving life-saving NHS treatments. This special range of cancer sessions is suitable for people of all ages and physical conditions. Aromatherapy essential oils may be blended to ease the side-effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy symptoms - such as nausea.
Traditionally, the Reiki natural energy force is said to have seven main Chakra centres, flowing from the tip of our head to the base of our spine. Occasionally, the flow of this Reiki energy is blocked or hindered – thus the need for Reiki balancing and chakra healing.
Reiki Cardiff Testimonials:
Before I started my journey with Reiki, I felt very down and under and wasn’t sure on how this was going to help me shift my energy and how the healing power could actually work.
He’s a blessing to have in my life and has helped me not only heal and feel energised, but has also helped me understand why this is so important to our body, mind & soul. This is Self Love & Self Care!
Philip is very calm and accommodating, just a session with him will lift your spirit and give you a total new out look on life.
I fully embrace and enjoy my Reiki sessions with him, he really is a God sent.

Phillip is an extremely knowledgeable and skilled therapist in many fields of therapy- including Reiki. I highly recommend Phillips reiki sessions to anyone wishing to achieve a higher state of wellbeing from physical, emotional/mental health, to relieve insomnia, physical pain, stress or simply just to re-balance, relax and put yourself back in check!

I have attended Phillip's reiki sessions numerous times to rebalance my energy and clear blockages. Personally, I always leave the session with a sense of relief, balance and feeling thoroughly relaxed.- both mentally and physically. Past sessions with Phillip have released energy blockages, followed by a fantastic nights sleep after struggling to get one. Today I left the session feeling completely revitalised and clear. Brighter eyes and tranquil state of mind.Reiki Treatment. I went to see Philip for a number of Reiki sessions at a time when I was suffering from a chronic illness. I had seen many people to try and help me heal and understand what was the cause of all my pain. Many of them gave me temporary relief but nothing seemed to have long-lasting effects. The effects of the Reiki were very different to anything else I had experienced. I'm not exactly sure how Reiki works, but I know that I felt very different after just a few sessions with Philip. I was much more tuned in to what I needed to do at any moment in time - in terms of how to think about things in a healthier and less destructive way, which enabled me to better cope with things. I found myself being led to information that helped me in a huge way, and after having trouble with making decisions for my whole life, I now know exactly what and when I need things without a doubt in my mind. It also has helped me hugely in a physical way. For the first few sessions, every time I came away, my pain initially felt worse, I was exhausted and even my mood was down for a day or so, but it was as if these feelings came to the surface from within which enabled them to be released, leaving me feeling lighter, happier and in less pain than before. There were many other benefits - I can't possibly write them all out on here! These Reiki sessions have played a huge role in helping me to overcome and cure a debilitating and completely incapacitating illness, which friends and family thought I was going to have for life. Thank you Philip!
An enlightening experience. I found Philip, (city marshall) while on the internet looking for somewhere I could get some relief for back pain, that I have had for quite a long time. I have several illnesses one being Multiple Sclerosis, which is the worry of my life, so I contacted Philip and made an appointment. It was the best decision I have made in such a long time. After the first session, my back felt so much better and to my astonishment I was now walking in a straight line. Before this, I was very unbalanced and would keep bumping into people while out. I am now on my third visit and things have improved greatly for my total health. Philip seems to love what he does and puts so much of his energy into each massage it makes you feel replenished. He has provided me with so much information dietary wise and is a very knowledgeable man. After years of popping pills, Philip has shown me that there are other natural ways of helping yourself and I can honestly say I feel so much better for taking his advise. I would recommend everyone to visit him at least once in their lifetime, he is a total gentleman who is brilliant at what he does!!

I have done a number of sessions of reiki and shiatsu with Philip. I feel much calmer and generally have a better type of energy as well.
Philip is very professional and he tailors a treatment to your particular needs.
All in all I would highly recommend Philip to anyone that I know.

With his expert care and professional manner, Philip seamlessly blends sports massage, Shiatsu and other complementary therapies, including dietary advice. His attunement with his clients' needs is second to none and his gentle and intuitive composure makes you feel relaxed and in extremely capable hands. I cannot recommend him highly enough. He has helped me with anxiety, IBS, a trapped nerve and all manner of other discomforts.
Went for a sports massage and reiki healing after being recommended by a friend. Absolutely delightful, a very lovely man and such a delightful experience. I left feeling very relaxed and knot free, would highly recommend.

I have always been interested in Reiki, so when I decided to give it a go, I researched the best practitioners and came across City Marshall. I was very impressed with the service and used it regular twice a week. I couldn't believe the transformation. Amazing Service

Reike massage. My sciatica has flared up on me recently and I needed it to be in a good shape. I found Marshall Massage very helpful. The session was physically and spiritually healing and I desperately needed it.

A very gentle atmosphere to experience. A very calming and stress free environment.
Philip especially is a very polite and informative individual who was most helpful. I would recommend City Marshall to anyone who is seeking a relaxing experience.

I attended City Marshall for a course of Chakra healing and Shiatsu massage. The whole experience was wonderful. This has to be the best therapeutic practice in the whole of Wales. Philip is the consummate professional and he certainly has some extraordinary gifts. I can wholeheartedly recommend this practice. Many thanks Philip.

Excellent massage treatment. One thing that really makes City Marshall Massage stand head and shoulders above most other therapists I have seen on my travels, is his adaptability and willingness to tailor make a treatment to your own personal needs. You might be surprised to hear, but I had a 60 minute deep tissue sports massage followed by 30 minutes of ... Reiki ... and the combination was amazing. The muscle tension was all gone and I felt a huge release of blocked energy. I never thought that a massage can be equally energising and relaxing - but it can. Really fantastic therapist!

Fabulous reiki treatment. City marshall massage is one of my favourite places to visit for alternative treatments. I have recently had several reiki treatments with Phillip and I have been thoroughly impressed with the quality and standard of treatment received. I was able to connect straight away with Phillip during my first session, which really helps if you are having reiki treatment as it helps the energy to flow more freely. He did identify several deep blockages within me but after several treatments with him these blockages have slowly been released and I really feel so much more calm, relaxed and re-energised after each treatment. I will most certainly be going back for regular top ups and am also keen to try out the many other fabulous treatments this practice has to offer. If you are looking for a great massage or any kind of alternative remedy then I would highly recommend city marshall, try it once and you won't want to go anywhere else.

My Reiki healing session was wonderfully calming. I was given the opportunity to choose a handful of crystals that seems to give me an even greater sense of inner peace. The whole building has a tranquil healing effect, the reiki treatment room is beautifully relaxing and the healing powers of Philip are very powerful. Certainly recommend a visit!
Tammy Sims Cardiff 16 March 2013
I was suffering with stress during the first trimester of my pregnancy and was given a session with City Marshall as a gift from my husband. I didn't know what to expect, but was calmed by the consultation. After discussing my symptoms, Philip was able to combine treatments to suit my needs. I had a mixture of Reiki and Shiatsu and can honestly say that it was such a relaxing and calming hour. The feeling stayed with me all day, and I can't wait to return to City Marshall.
Rhiannon Williams Cardiff, 15 March 2013
It took me no time at all to relax in the peaceful surroundings and the mellow reiki music. Marshall has tremendous reiki healing powers and his extensive knowledge of shiatsu acupuncture points is spectacular. We have both booked in for another session already and are still very mellow three days after our reiki treatment :-)
Samantha Cardiff, 22 July 2012
The Reiki treatment was very professional. I felt warmth all over the body and feeling a lot of frozen stress disappear. I felt relaxed and a feel good factor. Seen light and colours. I will recommend this Reiki and Shiatsu to all my friends.
Irenke Herbert Cardiff, 7 March 2012
My various experiences of complementary therapies at City Marshall, included Reiki and therapeutic massage, have all been the best ever. On each visit I experienced deep relaxation. After one Reiki treatment I can recall feeling completely chilled out until the following day which was quite remarkable. I went home feeling as if I’d just returned from two weeks in the sun!
I felt I was in the safe, extremely experienced hands, of a skilful complementary therapist who has invested time and energy studying Reiki therapeutic skills from various Masters around the world. After visiting numerous health spas over the years, City Marshall tops the lot! I won’t be going anywhere else from now on.

Your Reiki Healing Questions Answered
Do I need to be religious / is reiki a belief system?
First, no, you do not need to ‘believe’ in the reiki treatment to receive reiki benefits, as the power of Reiki is self-driven and it will flow to the places where it is needed. It does, however, help if you trust in the reiki practitioner and accept that they aim for ‘good’ and for your betterment.
Reiki is not a religion, although it does have a spiritual nature. In the same way that one may benefit from Acupuncture, Acupressure, Shiatsu and Thai massage – the benefits of Reiki are to be judged by its results.
Does reiki involve any inappropriate hand placement in the sacral area?
Absolutely not. The lower-most chakra is the sexual organ and it is called the ‘Base’ or ‘Root’ chakra. This can easily be addressed and balanced with Reiki by suspended hands, about 3 to 4 inches away from your body or by hand placement in a direct line away from this area.
