Reiki by Saozinha
With an open heart, I'm so grateful to share that I am now offering Reiki healing sessions in Dili, Timor-Leste.
Reiki is a gentle energy healing practice that supports balance, emotional release, deep relaxation, and inner peace.
This space is for you to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with yourself.
I completed my Reiki Master training in Melbourne Australia, and I am honored to bring this healing practice back to my home.
If you feel called, you are warmly welcome 🤍
Reiki is a gentle yet powerful form of energy healing that supports balance, harmony, and deep inner restoration. Rooted in Japanese tradition, Reiki works with universal life energy - the subtle, intelligent energy that flows through all living beings and connects us to ourselves, each other, and the natural world.
In my practice, Reiki is offered as a sacred space for healing, where your body, mind, and spirit are invited to return to their natural state of balance. Rather than forcing change, Reiki allows what is ready to shift to do so gently and organically.
During a Reiki session, I place my hands lightly on or just above your body, allowing healing energy to flow intuitively to where it is most needed. Reiki may be received either in person or at a distance. Because this healing energy is not limited by physical space, distance Reiki is just as effective as hands-on work.
In distance sessions, I connect intentionally with your energy, creating a focused and supportive healing space regardless of where you are located. You are invited to rest in a place where you feel safe and comfortable while the session unfolds.
Reiki supports the release of energetic blockages, calms the nervous system, and encourages your body's innate healing wisdom to awaken. Each session is guided by your energy in that moment and responds to what you most need - physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
Every Reiki session is unique. Many people experience deep relaxation, warmth, gentle tingling, emotional release, or vivid inner imagery. Others simply feel held, grounded, and at peace. Whether in person or receiving Reiki at a distance, the energy flows where it is needed most, often continuing to work long after the session has ended.
Distance Reiki can feel just as nurturing and profound as an in-person session. Some people notice immediate sensations, while others experience subtle shifts over time, such as improved sleep, emotional clarity, or a deeper sense of alignment and ease.
There is no right or wrong way to experience Reiki. The healing continues to unfold even after the session ends, often bringing insights, shifts in awareness, or a renewed sense of connection in the days that follow.
People are drawn to Reiki for many reasons, including:
Reiki does not replace medical treatment, but it can beautifully complement other forms of care by addressing the energetic and emotional layers of healing.
My intention in every session - whether in person or at a distance - is to create a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where you can fully relax and reconnect with yourself. Reiki is suitable for all ages and belief systems, and you do not need to believe in Reiki for it to work. Simply being open to rest is enough.
If you feel called to slow down, listen inwardly, and receive support beyond words, Reiki offers a gentle path home to yourself - wherever you are.
I began practicing Reiki during the COVID period, initially without a certificate. Feeling called to deepen my practice, I completed Reiki Level 1 in Bali in 2022, Level 2 in 2023, and my Reiki Master training in 2024 in Melbourne.
Alongside Reiki, I have also studied other healing modalities, including Chi Activation in Melbourne. I also practice yoga, which supports my healing work by helping me stay present, grounded, and connected to the body.
My approach to healing is simple and intuitive. I tune into my inner world and gently channel energy to my clients, guided mostly by intuition. I work in a grounded way and focus on creating a safe, calm space where my clients can fully relax.
I have been offering Reiki to myself and others for over six years, and I continue to learn and grow with every healing experience.

Sao has a beautiful heart, a powerful set of healing skills, and a positive energy that is bound to help a lot of people.
I had the pleasure of having multiple Reiki sessions with Saori, both in person and distance sessions. Both experiences were unique and powerful, not only I felt recharged, but also much better in my body and in my mind. I definitely recommend Reiki with this wonderful and kind woman, Saori.
I trained with Sao at Master level Reiki, and she was an absolute pleasure to study with. The class had lots of opportunity to practice and I found the way that Sao worked to be friendly, warm, gentle, generous, compassionate, already skilful, and deeply respectful.
I don't know how long Sao had been working with Reiki before that, but I really enjoyed the Reiki she did with me. It was like being immersed in loving kindness. Since then we have been part of an online support group and I find Sao to be quietly supportive, generous… very modest. It's been an honour.
Early 2025 I fell down from a loft and torn a groin muscle badly and was barely able to walk. In the days following I had a remote reiki healing session with mana Sao and it provided a lot of comfort. The pain lessened and movement became better again. I definitely recommend mana Sao for reiki/remote reiki healing.
During a time of significant stress and instability, I received a combination of distance Reiki and in-person sessions that were profoundly calming and supportive. The sessions helped me slow down, quiet my mind, and reconnect with a sense of inner peace and balance.
Saozinha's intuitive approach allowed her to tune into exactly what my body and energy needed. I felt deeply supported throughout, and each session left me feeling calmer, clearer, and more centred.
In 2020, during the COVID period, I became ill with a stomach condition. Through Mana Saozinha's Reiki, God granted me health. I am deeply grateful to Mana Saozinha for her Reiki 🙏🙏.
In 2021, I became ill again, but Mana Saozinha was able to heal me with Reiki once more. I truly felt her spirit enter my heart, and I felt it deeply. I am very thankful for her strong faith. Thank you so much to Mana Saozinha Amaral for her Reiki and support 🙏🙏🙏
Saozinha has given me Reiki as distance transmissions and in person treatments. She has a lovely friendly, bubbly personality which put me at ease from our first appointment. She was able to explain how she would proceed and I felt completely comfortable. I've had a number of her treatments now and trust her fully to be able to pinpoint the areas that need Reiki energy. She has relieved my hip pain and a chronic shoulder issue that plays up from time to time. She is wise beyond her years and a very gentle intuitive healer. I thoroughly recommend Saozinha.
Thank you so much.
I was surprised to feel the Reiki playing around my feet. It certainly chooses where it should go. I also felt it playing around my head. Which is just as well as I have been very stressed.
