Their Story. Their Transformation
Daryl
Finance Officer

Manchester, UK
Treatment product selected:
Reiki
In-Person 1:1
Extended Reiki Package (6 In-Person Sessions)
The Five2Thrive Pillars represented:
Holistic Healing, Physical Vitality, Emotional Healing
Reason for choosing therapy:
Daryl came seeking relief from stress-induced burnout and physical exhaustion. He had been experiencing regular tension headaches, low energy, and growing emotional detachment.
Why this product chosen:
He selected the Extended Reiki Package after recognising he needed a consistent, supported path to decompress gradually and rebuild his energy, rather than seeking a quick fix.
Background:
Daryl worked in a fast-paced finance department. Years of deadlines, decision-making, and internalising pressure had left him running on adrenaline. He had lost interest in things he once enjoyed and felt emotionally “numb.” After a colleague recommended Reiki, he chose the extended package to explore deeper, cumulative transformation.
Client transformation:
Daryl described himself as “reconnected to feeling.” His energy was steadier, his face more relaxed, and he had begun journaling and practicing breathwork on his own. He also reported a renewed sense of clarity and calm in work meetings.
Observations:
By session three, his headaches had decreased in frequency, and his posture had become noticeably more relaxed. Energetically, his flow had stabilised. By session six, he had softened emotionally, reported feeling more creative, and started making time for rest and hobbies again.
Client feedback:
“The change crept up on me—quietly and gently. I didn’t realise how loud my nervous system had been until things went quiet. This wasn’t just about stress management. It gave me permission to feel again and reclaim my own space.”
