Reiki Practitioner & Yoga Nidra Teacher 

REIKI 

Reiki is a Japanese healing method based on the laying on of hands. The word combines "rei" (universal) and "ki" (life energy). During a session Amela places her hands gently on or just above your body, helping to release energetic blockages and supporting the body's natural ability to heal itself. You lie fully clothed on the treatment table, in a calm and warm atmosphere. 

Reiki is not about quick fixes, but about creating space for balance and recovery. However, every treatment, whether short or long, can be supportive and restorative. Amela's approach is calm, intuitive and personal: no quick fixes and no fixed protocols, just a grounded space where you can slow down and return to yourself. Reiki is a complementary treatment and works well alongside regular medical care, therapy or medication. 

How can Amela support you with Reiki? 

A session can be supportive whenever you feel the need for rest, balance and recovery – whether you are dealing with specific complaints or simply want to stay in balance. No prior experience or belief is needed. 

* For stress and overload: when your head keeps racing and your body never really gets to rest, Reiki helps your nervous system settle and brings you back to calm. 

  • For fatigue and sleep problems: a deep moment of stillness that allows body and mind to recharge. 

  • During recovery periods: gentle support alongside medical treatment, therapy or after an intense period in your life. 

  • For prevention and self-care: a valuable investment in yourself, to stay grounded, balanced and connected with yourself. 

  • In those moments when you feel your energy slowly slipping away: a gentle way to pause, recharge and reconnect with yourself. 

Every treatment is given with love, gentleness and complete attunement to you – starting exactly where you are. 

How it works?

Your first session starts with an extensive intake conversation, where you and Amela talk about your situation, wishes and points of attention, so the treatment can be fully tailored to you (75–90 min). Regular treatments take about 60 minutes and always include a short conversation before and after. Besides the full treatment on the table, a shorter chair treatment and distance Reiki (online) are also possible.

YOGA NIDRA 

Yoga Nidra is a guided deep-relaxation practice from the yoga tradition. You simply lie down and follow Amela's voice, moving into a state between waking and sleeping: your body deeply rests, while your mind stays clear and aware. A session of about 45 minutes is often said to feel like several hours of sleep. Yoga Nidra can help with stress, anxiety and sleep problems, and requires no yoga experience or physical effort – it is accessible to everyone. 

About me

 From an early age, Amela felt that health is about more than treating complaints and symptoms. She noticed how often people kept walking around with complaints despite endless doctor's appointments, while the person behind the complaints was forgotten. Later, working as a teacher and mentor, she saw how many people – young and old – struggle with stress, restlessness and overload. She experienced it herself too. 

Her personal journey started with mindfulness. When Reiki came onto her path, everything fell into place: a holistic view of health in which body, mind and life energy are connected. Through trainings in Yoga Nidra, Reconstructives and natural, holistic health, she keeps growing in everything that can contribute to more balance and wellbeing. 

Amela believes in the power of slowing down. For her, slowing down is not a step back – it is coming home to yourself. With her practice AmelaWise, she invites women and men to pause, find stillness and reconnect with themselves.
