In-Person Reiki Sessions

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing that channels the universal energy or life-force energy that flows through all of us. We all have access to the life force energy, otherwise known as our chi, qi or prana, that flows through each and every living being. When our energy is open and flowing, we are more likely to feel at peace and more tuned into the rhythm of life and our own bodies, both energetically and physically. This is a non-invasive approach that is thought to have benefits such as: increased mindfulness and relaxation, improved sleep, and easing pain and tension in the body.

These one-on-one Reiki sessions begin with a personal check-in (about 10-15 minutes) where you can share what brings you to the space and what you are hoping to get from the session. This check-in can involve anything from general intention setting to utilizing the support of Oracle cards. We will then move into the Reiki session (about 35 minutes in length) where I will be utilizing a variety of healing modalities such as:  sound healing, essential oils and sprays, crystal healing, and possible smoke clearing, based on your individual preferences and intuitive guidance. When giving Reiki, I will serve as a conduit for the universal energy of Reiki, allowing it to flow through my hands, with the goal to rebalance and clear the energy pathways, facilitating a state of relaxation and well-being. Please note: I primarily utilize hovering hands in my session but will sometimes use light touch (based on your comfort level). During or after the session, I will share any messages, affirmations, images, or animal guides that come through. These sessions are intuitively guided based on what each individual is hoping to receive and themes that they are moving through. The last 10 minutes of the session will be to transition out of Reiki and check in with your body and mind. Once you've  booked, I will email you an intake form, so please include the email address you would like me to send this to. I will also email you a summary of your session.

Is Reiki similar to a massage?

​Reiki can be kind of like an energetic massage. You will be lying on a massage table for the Reiki portion of your session (I can also perform Reiki while you sit in a chair if that is more comfortable for your body). You will be fully clothed and I will be primarily using hovering hands and some light touch (depending on your preferences). Some clients have expressed the same level of rejuvenation following their session as they have after a massage, but each experience is different. 

What does Reiki feel like?

You may experience warmth or coolness, sleepiness, visuals, tingling sensations, deep peacefulness, laughing, you may feel emotional or cry, or you may fall asleep. You may also feel nothing at all –this is all completely normal. 

​

How often should I receive Reiki?

Every person is different, but many people find that they benefit from regular Reiki sessions, which can be scheduled as often as once a week or as infrequently as once a month or every few months. The frequency of sessions depends on your individual needs. 

Can Reiki cause any harm?

Reiki has not been found to have any adverse effects and does not interfere with conventional medical care. In fact, many hospitals across the country use Reiki as a part of an integrative therapy approach. I also understand that each person is unique with a unique set of needs, traumas, and experiences. Each session is customized for you to be as supportive as possible for you with clear communication and respect at the forefront. Please let me know of any medical conditions, concerns, or discomfort you may have before or during the session.

Are these sessions covered by insurance?

Unfortunately these sessions are not covered by insurance. Some insurance providers will accept Reiki as part of your HSA/FSA with a letter of medical necessity and an itemized receipt. Please let me know if this is something you need prior to our session - I am happy to help figure this out with you. ​​​
