A soft place to land

Reiki for Sensitive Expats

Summer Sessions
This summer I’m offering gentle Reiki sessions (60 min.) for €40,-. A calm, grounding experience for sensitive expats who want to feel more settled, supported and at ease while adjusting to life in a new country. And even if you’re not an expat, you’re warmly welcome — anyone who feels drawn to a soft, grounding moment can book a session.

For overwhelmed expats
Moving abroad can stir up more than you expect.
New routines, new people, new surroundings
— it can all pile up quickly.
Maybe you notice:
Tension in your body, feeling “on edge”
A busy mind that doesn’t switch off
Overwhelm shows up faster than usual
Sleep that feels lighter or you stay restless
Old emotions resurface out of nowhere
Feeling ungrounded, overstimulated or lonely
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone and you
don’t have to push through it all by yourself.
How reiki can help
Reiki is a gentle, hands-on (or hands-off) practice that helps your body soften and your mind slow down. It offers holistic support for your mental and emotional health.
Reiki supports all layers of your well‑being: physical, emotional, mental, energetic and the deeper sense of meaning & purpose.
People often notice:
More calm in their nervous system
Less tension in their body
Deeper sleep and easier rest
More clarity and inner space
Feeling grounded again
A sense of returning to themselves
It’s a soft reset; especially helpful if you’re highly sensitive or living far from home.
A gentle way of working
My sessions are warm, calm and soothing.
You don’t need to know anything about Reiki or “believe” anything — just come as you are.
What you can expect from me:
Softness over intensity
Gentle guidance so you always feel safe
A grounded presence
A nurturing atmosphere
Space to land before and after the session
Reiki is where my work begins, and as I continue my holistic therapy training, I’ll slowly add more tools along the way.
About me
Hi, I’m Safia. Like many sensitive people,
I’ve had my fair share of stress, tension and “where do I even start?” moments. I know how overwhelming it can feel when your body is tired, your mind is full and nothing seems to land.
Over the years I tried many things — changing habits, therapy, breath work — and they all helped in their own way. But I kept looking for something softer, something that wasn’t clinical or overwhelming but still deeply supportive.
Reiki was one of the few methods that supported on multiple layers at once: physical, emotional, mental and energetic.
It helped me slow down, soften and reconnect with myself in a way that felt natural and kind.
A softer way of healing
I’m not an expat myself, but I’ve met many who feel overwhelmed, overstimulated or ungrounded while building a life here in Leiden.
I recognise the stress, the tension and the loneliness that can show up and I care deeply about creating a soft, steady space for people who feel a lot.
I’m currently training as a holistic therapist, and Reiki is where my work begins. Not as a miracle cure, but as a warm, grounding place to land where you can gently return to yourself.

“warm”, “safe”, “quiet”, “like my body finally exhaled”.
