Reiki · Biofield Tuning · Southern Tasmania
A practice for people ready to come back to themselves. Reiki sessions and Biofield Tuning practice sessions, held with care on the Tasman Peninsula.
01 · The practice
Terra Lume is a small, intentionally held complementary wellbeing practice on the Tasman Peninsula. Reiki sessions and Biofield Tuning practice sessions — offered for people who are ready to give themselves an hour of genuine stillness, and see what shifts when they do.
Held by Frederica Dillon. Grounded in earth. Lit from within.

02 · About Frederica
I'm Frederica — a Reiki practitioner with five years of practice, based on the Tasman Peninsula in Southern Tasmania.
My background spans art therapy studies, ontological coaching and communications — alongside a deep personal practice in feminine embodiment and a long-running study of tantra philosophy. I'm currently in yoga teacher training, and I've spent a long time in the quiet work of noticing what happens when people slow down and give themselves room.
I'm also completing my Biofield Tuning training through BioSona — a sound-based practice I was drawn to for its rigour and its depth. Practice sessions are offered as part of that training.
I'm a Splenic Projector in Human Design — which is a slightly technical way of saying I'm highly intuitive and tend to read energy before I read words. If that means nothing to you, it just means I pay close attention.
Terra Lume is the practice I've been building toward: a place of grounding and light, held with reverence.
Sessions are at Eaglehawk Neck Hall on the Arthur Highway — about an hour from Hobart, at the edge of the Tasman Peninsula.
03 · Reiki
If you've spent years running fast and rarely stopping — Reiki might be the simplest and most effective thing you can do for yourself.
The word Reiki is Japanese — formed from two characters: rei, meaning universal or spiritual, and ki, meaning life force or vital energy. Together they describe the practice: a working with the subtle energy that practitioners believe animates all living things.
Reiki was developed in the early twentieth century by Mikao Usui, a Japanese teacher and practitioner, following a period of intensive spiritual practice and retreat on Mount Kurama. From Japan, the practice travelled — through Hawayo Takata's lineage into the West in the mid-twentieth century, and from there across the world. Today it is one of the most widely practised complementary modalities in existence.
In a session, the practitioner places their hands on or near the body, moving through a sequence of positions — or following intuitive guidance about where to spend time. Practitioners describe themselves as a conduit: holding space and allowing energy to move in whatever way is needed. The session itself is quiet and still.
The recipient's experience is always their own. Some people notice warmth or gentle pulsing beneath the practitioner's hands; others experience a deep stillness or sense of ease. Some drift close to sleep; others find their mind wandering freely, the way it does in the moments before sleep arrives. Some notice very little in the session itself but feel unusually rested or reflective in the days that follow. None of these responses is more correct than another.
An hour in a Reiki session is an hour of complete permission to stop.
Reiki is not a medical treatment. It is a complementary practice — something to receive alongside your existing health care, not in place of it.
Reiki Session
You'll arrive, settle in, and have a brief conversation about what you'd like from the session. Then you'll rest, fully clothed, on a treatment table. The practitioner works with light touch — or with hands held just above the body, if you prefer.
A preparation guide is sent one to two days beforehand — so you arrive ready, not rushed. Aftercare notes follow that evening or the next morning. Two days later, Frederica will check in.

04 · Biofield Tuning
If you've ever felt like something is sitting just beneath the surface — something you can't quite name, can't quite shift — Biofield Tuning works at exactly that level.
Biofield Tuning is a sound-based practice developed by researcher and practitioner Eileen Day McKusick over more than 25 years of clinical observation.
The term biofield refers to the body's electrical system in its entirety — the electrical current that runs through the body and the magnetic field that surrounds it. Biofield Tuning works directly with this system, which McKusick describes as inextricably connected with the conscious and subconscious mind, including memory and emotional experience.
During a session, a practitioner activates a tuning fork and works slowly through the biofield — the field surrounding and interpenetrating the physical body — beginning from several feet away. The practitioner listens for changes in the sound of the fork and feels for areas of turbulence or resistance. When turbulence is identified, the steady, coherent frequency of the fork is held in that area.
According to McKusick's model, the body's own organising intelligence uses this coherent frequency to self-regulate. As resistance resolves, people tend to relax, breathe more freely and often report a sense of lightness or ease.
The body leads. The practitioner follows. What needs attention tends to make itself known.
Some clients report noticing a reduction in feelings of tension or anxiousness during or after sessions. Others notice very little. Responses vary widely between individuals.
Biofield Tuning is not a medical treatment and is not intended to diagnose, treat or cure any medical condition or psychological disorder.
Practice sessions
Frederica is currently completing her Biofield Tuning studies through BioSona. As part of this training, she is offering a limited number of supervised practice sessions.
These are practitioner-development sessions — offered at no charge, in exchange for your honest feedback. They are held with the same care, preparation and follow-through as a full professional session: booking, intake, screening, preparation guide, aftercare, and a follow-up check-in.
If you've been curious about Biofield Tuning — wondering whether it's for someone like you — this is a genuinely good moment to find out.
If you're open to being part of a small early cohort, we'd love to hear from you.
Not everyone is eligible for Biofield Tuning — please read the suitability section below before expressing interest.
05 · What to expect
i.
A preparation guide arrives one to two days beforehand — what to wear, how to reach the hall, parking, and a few simple suggestions for arriving feeling settled rather than rushed.
ii.
Eaglehawk Neck Hall is on the Arthur Highway — approximately one hour from Hobart. Parking is at the hall. Please arrive a few minutes early; there's no need to rush.
iii.
Before the session, Frederica will sit down with you briefly, ask what you'd like from the hour and check whether there's anything she should know.
iv.
You'll rest, fully clothed, on a treatment table. The practitioner works with light touch, or with hands held just above the body if you prefer — let Frederica know at any point.

06 · Suitability
Reiki
Reiki is a gentle practice considered appropriate for most people.
If you have a current health condition, are pregnant, or are undergoing medical treatment, please mention this when you book. The intake form will ask a few straightforward questions, and Frederica will be in touch if there is anything to discuss before confirming your appointment.
If you're unsure whether Reiki is appropriate for you, please consult your medical professional before booking.
Biofield Tuning practice sessions
Biofield Tuning is not suitable for everyone. Practice sessions are currently not available for people who:
A previous cancer diagnosis now in remission does not automatically exclude you, but must be disclosed before booking. Please disclose any significant condition, implanted device, recent injury, or current specialist treatment before confirming your appointment.
07 · Aftercare
That matters — and your body knows it. After your session, it's common to feel a range of things: deeply rested, reflective, lighter, or simply quiet. Some people notice changes in the hours or days that follow; others feel much the same as usual. Both are completely normal.
A few simple suggestions
If you experience significant physical or emotional symptoms after a session, please consult a qualified health professional. These are complementary practices and are not a substitute for medical care.

The salts are chosen to complement the experience of a session rather than to replace it. They ask nothing of you except a little warm water and time.
For Biofield Tuning clients
A complimentary foot soak sachet is included with every Biofield Tuning session — practice and paid — as a simple way to continue settling in the hours after your appointment. Choose your blend at the time of booking or on the day.
Bath soaks
