Reiki in Antibes, Cap d'Antibes and Juan-les-Pins — At Home, in English

Antibes is twenty minutes from Cannes and the place I come to most after it. The Cap, the old town, Juan-les-Pins, the villas towards Biot — all included in the travel area, so a session here is €180 for 45 minutes at your home, in English, Russian or Ukrainian.

Antibes has two populations that need this more than most: international families in the villas on the Cap and behind the town, and the yachting world around Port Vauban — owners, guests and, in season, crew who haven't had an hour to themselves since June.

Where sessions happen in Antibes

Villas on the Cap. Boulevard du Cap, the Garoupe side, the roads behind the Eden-Roc. A bedroom with the shutters down. I've worked in most of them and none of them needed anything prepared.

Apartments in the old town and Juan-les-Pins. A bed and a closed door; the size of the flat doesn't matter.

Port Vauban and the bay. On board at the quay, or a tender from the port to a boat at anchor off the Cap. A cabin or a shaded deck. There's a piece on how sessions work on a yacht if that's you.

Biot, Villeneuve-Loubet, Vallauris. All included.

Who comes, and for what

Parents whose children are at the international schools and who are holding a household in a country that isn't theirs yet. Founders at Sophia Antipolis who work in English all day and can't switch off in any language. Yacht owners and charter guests who want the first days aboard to be a holiday rather than an adjustment. Crew on changeover day. And a surprising number of people who came to Antibes to recover from something — a sale, a divorce, a hard year — and are finding that the view doesn't do it on its own.

What a session is

Forty-five minutes lying on your back, fully clothed. Hands resting lightly on or just above the body from head to feet, in a set sequence. No conversation during, nothing to believe, nothing to do. Most people drop into deep rest within ten minutes; many fall asleep. At the end I let you lie for a moment, then leave you to it. Sleep that night is usually the first thing people notice.

Antibes, specifically

What people bring in Antibes is very often the nervous system after relocation: everything is fine and the body hasn't noticed. The Cap in September, with the crowds gone and the water still warm, is the easiest place on the coast to start The Renewal — four sessions over a month at home, while the children are at school. In July and August it's the yacht sessions and the Arrival Reset.

Prices

Card, transfer or cash. Free rescheduling with 24 hours' notice. Children's sessions shorter and priced by age. Reiki is complementary — it sits alongside your doctor's care, never instead, and I'll ask about anything medical before we book.
