About Reiki
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle hands-on technique for relaxation and stress relief that promotes healing. It's like a massage for your energy.
Is it religious or spiritual?
Reiki is not a religion and requires no specific belief system. I always say, "You don't have to believe or NOT believe in anything for reiki to work." It is a universal healing art accessible to everyone. We all know that everything around us is made of energy - you ge to decide where you believe that energy comes from!
How does it work?
A session involves a practitioner transferring life force energy through gentle touch or hovering hands. The HOW is not easy to explain. If you are curious, give it a try and let the results speak for themselves.
Can it be used alongside other care?
Absolutely. In fact, I recommend it! Reiki is highly complementary and works beautifully alongside traditional medicine or therapy. It is NOT a replacement for sound medical treatment and advice.
What to Expect in a Session
What happens during a typical session?
You'll lie fully clothed on a massage table while the practitioner gently places hands on or near specific energy centers. The environment is calm, with soft music and dim lighting.
What should I wear?
Please wear loose, comfortable clothing. You'll remain fully clothed (minus shoes) throughout the session, so comfort is key to helping you relax.
Touch or non-touch options?
Reiki can be practiced with light touch or by hovering hands slightly above the body. We will discuss your preference before we begin.
How long do sessions last?
Standard sessions are 60 minutes. We also offer 30-minute Express and 20-minute Introductory sessions for those new to Reiki.
How might I feel afterward?
Many feel relaxed and peaceful. Some experience a boost in energy. It is possible that you may feel heavier - sometimes the energy brings up something that you need to move through in order to heal.
Booking & Appointments
How do I book a session?
Booking is simple through our online portal. Select your preferred service and time, and you'll receive a confirmation email with all the details for your upcoming visit.
What is your rescheduling and cancellation policy?
We value your time and ours. If you need to change your appointment, please provide at least 24 hours' notice. This allows us to offer the opening to another client seeking healing. If you no call / no show, we reserve the right to keep your deposit.Â
Are virtual or distance sessions available?
Yes! Reiki knows no distance. We offer virtual sessions via Zoom, allowing you to experience deep relaxation and spiritual balance from the comfort of your own home.
What payment methods are accepted?
We accept all major credit cards, digital wallets, and local payment apps. Payment is processed securely at the time of booking to ensure your session is peaceful and uninterrupted.
Benefits & Common Concerns
How many sessions will I need?
While one session provides deep relaxation, a series of 3-4 sessions often helps to integrate balance more deeply and address long-standing physical or emotional patterns.
Can I try just one session?
Absolutely! A single session is a beautiful way to experience the calming effects of reiki. Many clients find immediate mental clarity and stress relief after just one visit.
Is reiki safe?
Yes, reiki is a completely safe, non-invasive practice that is appropriate for people of all ages. It gently supports your body's natural healing abilities.
Do I have to 'believe' in it for it to work?
Not at all. Reiki works by supporting the body's natural relaxation response; often, "belief" comes after a session!
What if I don't feel intense sensations?
Every session is unique. Even if you don't feel heat or tingling, the energy is working to soothe your system and restore emotional and energetic harmony.
