Meet Ken
Ken McKean has spent more than three decades helping people connect to themselves again. He began his Reiki journey after seeing how stress quietly shapes both body and mind and discovered something simple. When we slow down, the body remembers how to heal.
At Be Kind Reiki and Massage in Sunshine each session feels like a quiet reset. In todays fast paced world we are fed medications for almost everything, but we forget that we can heal ourselves if we can connect body and mind. Reiki will help with this. Disclaimer: Reiki is complementary to medical treatment, so continue with advice and medications recommended by your doctor. The space is soft and grounding. Ken works with a calm and intuitive touch, guided by your energy rather than a fixed routine as each person is unique and has unique needs. Your only task is to arrive, breathe, and let go.
How I Work
We start with a brief conversation about what your week has held and what your body is carrying. From there I blend Usui Reiki with simple breath and grounding practices so your nervous system can settle and your thoughts can soften. At the end your Reiki channel will apply Kestueki Kokan Ho which is is a traditional Japanese massage technique developed by Dr. Chujiro Hayashi, performed at the end of a Reiki treatment. After a session, the recipient may feel deeply relaxed, sometimes in a dreamlike or meditative state. This gentle massage helps you feel grounded and fully present in your body again. During every Reiki session you are fully clothed. If you are receiving a massage we will begin similar to a Reiki session except we will discuss what your body needs. Then respectfully honouring your privacy you will be asked to take off necessary clothing and jewellery for a massage, (depending on the type of massage e.g. general relaxation-unclothed, Deep tissue- unclothed, sports massage-clothed) then lie on the massage table face up or down depending on back or front massage. You will be draped with complete respect for your privacy and dignity. Then the appropriate massage techniques will be applied aimed at repairing muscle tissue, relieving pain, relieving stress and addressing your ailment, taking into consideration any contraindications to your treatment. You will leave feeling whole again and able to move more freely or feel renewed. Note; Massage can be applied with clothes on if being unclothed is too confronting or uncomfortable.

What is Reiki
Remembering the meaning of life and the universe
“Many people describe this moment as the point where everything slows, the breath deepens, the shoulders release, and the mind settles into quiet stillness.”
How I Work
Every session follows your energy rather than a routine. We begin with a quiet check in, a few minutes to notice how you have been feeling and what your body may be carrying. It is a chance to arrive, breathe, and let the outside world soften into the background.
Before Your Session
We take a moment to slow down together. You settle into a calm space with soft light and gentle sound. This grounding helps your body shift naturally from stress into presence. You do not need to do anything special, simply breathe.
- Quiet and unhurried welcome with light breathwork
- Music or silence based on what feels best for you
- Gentle guidance to release tension at a pace that feels safe
During and After
I combine Usui Reiki with mindful stillness, intuitive touch, and simple breath awareness. Many clients describe the experience as returning home to themselves, a deep exhale that remains long after the session ends.
- Time for reflection after your session
- Simple suggestions to help you stay balanced between visits
You are welcome exactly as you are. Whether this is your first Reiki session or one of many, the intention is the same, to help you reconnect with the calm that is already within you by working with you to heal your mind, body and spirit, clearing your energy of blockages to make way for real healing.
