Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! As an intelligent energy, Reiki can't cause harm and goes where it is needed most. It is even used in hospitals to help with pre-operative anxiety and post-operative healing!

Please note that Reiki is a wonderful complementary therapy and not a replacement for your current medical treatment.

The healing properties of Reiki are far-reaching! Scientific studies have shown evidence of positive outcomes in the healing of many common issues, including:

• Fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, shortness of breath

• Quality of life

• Sleeping patterns, Self esteem, Clarity of thinking,

• Physical pain

• Depression and Anxiety

(Studies are linked above!)

Clients of mine have also reported a more positive affect, sense of peace, accelerated processing of complex trauma and lessened chronic pain!

Note: Reiki is still an emerging field in complementary care and as such, is still being studied and reported on by scientific and spiritual communities alike.

Before:

You will be given a form to fill out before our scheduled appointment. The day of, we will have a chat about your goals for the session. Payment is at the time of booking. All you will need to do from there is lay down somewhere comfortable, close your eyes and take some deep breaths so you can become receptive to the Universal Life Energy.

During:

As the energy flows, it's very common to feel temperature fluctuations and tingling throughout your body, especially in its main energy centers (the top of the head, the palms and the bottoms of the feet.) The goal of Reiki healing is deep relaxation which can often lead to falling asleep during a session. This is perfectly normal and just means the energy is doing its job. It's also normal to feel nothing at all. In this case, the Reiki is still working, but on a deeper, more subconscious level. It is also okay to move and ask questions as needed.

After:

After all is said and done, we will have a check-in about how you felt during the session, where the energy healed things for you, any visions or feelings I noticed as the practitioner and more.

It's very common to experience feelings of peace and calm and even something I like to call "Reiki Brain" which is a heightened state of bliss.  Words can be hard to find in this state but there is no physical alteration (aka You will be all good to drive home!) After this I will recommend practices that can be done outside of the session to maintain the energy. We will then schedule a follow-up appointment as needed. I will check in via text message the next day.

Recommendations and Insights:

Prioritize rest and hydration over the next couple of days while your body adjusts to receiving the energy. 

Text Session:

For a chat session, all I will need is a picture of the person or animal who is in need of healing. A selfie or otherwise casual picture works great! 

Video Session:

For a video session, I will send you a link to join my virtual waiting room before our scheduled appointment. Your camera will need to be on throughout the session so I can send the energy to the right place.

In-Person Session:

For an in-person session, all you will need to do is show up and be receptive to the Reiki energy. I will take care of the rest!
