About Jo
My Mission: Why I can help you with Reiki Healing ?
I deeply believe that every client who seeks my work should experience improvement from the very first session. This principle lies at the core of my therapeutic approach. In each treatment, the goal is to provide immediate relief, starting with necessary energy adjustments, so the client feels tangible relief and begins a deeper, more lasting healing process.
I understand that mental well-being is closely connected to physical health, which is why, in addition to working on energy balance, I incorporate relaxation techniques to calm the mind while restoring the body. I believe that prevention plays a crucial role in the healing process, so I focus on identifying the root causes of imbalances, guiding my clients with practices that help them avoid future setbacks.
With Reiki, I create a safe and nurturing environment where each client can address their emotional and psychological concerns, respecting their pace and needs. The key to my work is a personalized approach. I seek to understand the unique needs of each individual and customize the treatment to be as effective as possible for them.
My mission is to help my clients achieve a state of inner peace, balance, and harmony, promoting not just physical improvement but emotional and spiritual healing as well. Through Reiki, my goal is to support each person in living a fuller, happier, and healthier life, always respecting their process of self-discovery and transformation.
Interview with Jo Jungwirth, Reiki Master and Practitioner, by John Carter, Soul Guide Therapies Magazine.
John Carter: Jo, it’s a pleasure to have you with us today. To start, could you explain, in simple terms, what Reiki is and how it can benefit people?
Jo Jungwirth: Of course, John. Reiki is an energy healing practice that originated in Japan. The word "Reiki" translates to "universal life energy," and during a Reiki session, I channel this energy into the client’s body to restore balance and promote healing. Reiki works on the physical, emotional, and spiritual levels, bringing a sense of peace and harmony. The main benefit people feel is profound relaxation, stress relief, and an overall sense of tranquility.
John Carter: Fascinating. What are the most common benefits your clients experience after a Reiki session?
Jo Jungwirth: Many of my clients report immediate benefits after a Reiki session, such as a sense of deep relaxation and stress relief. Additionally, there is an improvement in sleep quality, reduction in muscle tension, and relief from chronic pain, such as back pain or migraines. On an emotional level, Reiki helps people reconnect with themselves, releasing blockages and providing greater mental and emotional clarity. I also assist many clients with emotional issues like anxiety and depression, guiding them through a profound healing process.
John Carter: How does a Reiki session work? What can a client expect when they lie on the treatment table?
Jo Jungwirth: When a client comes for a Reiki session, they lie comfortably on the treatment table, fully dressed, as Reiki does not involve massage. With eyes closed, the client begins to relax deeply while I apply energy to specific points on their body, known as chakras. The sensation during the session can vary, but many people report feeling warmth or a gentle tingling. The goal is for me to channel energy in a way that restores the body’s energy flow and releases blockages that may be affecting the client’s well-being. The session usually lasts around 50 minutes, though I can offer longer sessions if needed.
John Carter: Can Reiki be used in conjunction with conventional medical treatments?
Jo Jungwirth: Absolutely. Reiki is a complementary practice, not a substitute for conventional medicine. Many of my clients use Reiki alongside medical treatments to accelerate recovery, reduce side effects of medications or procedures, and improve overall well-being. I believe the combination of conventional treatments and alternative therapies like Reiki can be incredibly powerful for holistic healing.
John Carter: What health conditions can Reiki help treat?
Jo Jungwirth: Reiki can be beneficial for a variety of conditions. For example, in cases of chronic pain, like arthritis or back pain, Reiki can help reduce inflammation and muscle tension, providing relief. It’s also excellent for emotional issues, such as anxiety, depression, and stress. In my experience, it helps with sleep disorders, digestive issues, and even problems related to the immune system. Additionally, Reiki is great for promoting overall energy balance, helping clients feel more energized and at peace.
John Carter: How do you adjust the frequency of sessions to meet each client's needs?
Jo Jungwirth: The frequency of sessions depends a lot on the client’s needs and what they hope to achieve with Reiki. Initially, I typically recommend weekly sessions, especially for those dealing with deeper issues, like stress or chronic pain. Over time, as the client begins to feel better and their energy stabilizes, we can reduce the frequency to bi-weekly or monthly. What’s important is to work according to each person’s rhythm and needs, ensuring they continue to benefit from the treatment.
John Carter: What can a client expect to feel after a session?
Jo Jungwirth: After a Reiki session, clients usually feel very relaxed with a sense of lightness. Many experience a deep calm and a state of mental clarity. Physically, some may feel immediate pain relief or a renewed sense of energy. In some cases, the benefits continue to unfold in the hours or even days following the session. Since Reiki works on various levels, the healing process can be ongoing and gradual, and each client experiences results in a unique way.
John Carter: For those who are new to Reiki or considering trying it, would you recommend any preparation before a session?
Jo Jungwirth: No specific preparation is required before a Reiki session, but I suggest that people come with an open mind and a willingness to relax. Sometimes, a bit of meditation or deep breathing before the session can help prepare the body and mind for the healing process. The most important thing is to come with the intention of allowing the energy to flow freely, without rushing or having rigid expectations about the results.
John Carter: Lastly, what sets you apart as a Reiki therapist in Prague, and why should expats in the city choose your Reiki sessions?
Jo Jungwirth: What sets me apart as a Reiki therapist in Prague is my extensive experience and the individualized approach I offer each client. As a Brazilian expat who has lived in over 18 countries and have now settled in Prague since 2024, I deeply understand the adaptation challenges many expats face. This allows me to offer a more empathetic and personalized treatment, respecting the unique cultural and emotional needs of each person. Additionally, as a Reiki master with over 15 years of experience, I bring a blend of deep knowledge of traditional Reiki practices with a modern, holistic approach focused on the well-being of my clients. In Prague, where the expat community is large, I am here to help people restore their energy, find balance, and achieve true inner peace.
John Carter: Jo, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and unique approach with us. I’m sure your clients will benefit immensely from your Reiki sessions.
Jo Jungwirth: Thank you, John. It was a pleasure talking about Reiki and how this practice can help people heal and find their path to peace and harmony. I’m here for anyone looking for transformation and balance in their lives.
