Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive energy healing practice that supports your body’s natural ability to restore balance on physical, emotional, mental, and energetic levels. It involves the channeling of universal life force energy through light hand placements, encouraging deep relaxation, stress reduction, and a supportive environment for healing. 

You will be fully clothed and comfortable — typically lying on a massage table or seated if you prefer. I’ll begin by discussing your needs and intentions, then offer Reiki through gentle hand placements or intuitive positioning above the body. You may feel warmth, tingling, deep relaxation, or simply a sense of calm. Everyone’s experience is unique. 

Clients commonly describe sensations such as warmth or coolness, tingling, emotional shifts, profound relaxation, or a feeling of lightness. Some individuals drift into a restful or meditative state during the session. Not feeling particular sensations doesn’t mean Reiki isn’t working — your body receives exactly what it needs in its own way.

Reiki is considered safe for most people, including children and pregnant women. It is non-invasive and complementary to other healthcare approaches. If you have specific medical or psychological concerns, Reiki works in harmony with conventional care rather than replacing it. 

Some people feel benefits after one session, while others find that regular sessions provide deeper and longer-lasting support. This can depend on your goals, current stress levels, or patterns of holding tension. We can discuss what feels right for you. 

Many clients find Reiki supportive for stress reduction, emotional release, clarity, and resilience. While it is not a substitute for medical or psychological care, Reiki can complement other supports you’re using. 

Wear comfortable clothing, arrive with an open mind, and give yourself time before and after your appointment to settle in gently. There’s no requirement for special preparation — just come ready to receive.

It’s helpful to stay hydrated, rest if needed, and be kind to yourself. Some people notice shifts in the hours or days after a session as your body and nervous system integrate the experience. 

Distance Reiki allows you to receive the benefits of Reiki without being physically present. Sessions are offered in much the same way as in-person Reiki, with intention, care, and energetic connection guiding the work. Many people choose distance Reiki if they live far away, are unable to attend in person, or simply feel more comfortable receiving healing in their own space. Clients often report feelings of relaxation, clarity, emotional release, or subtle energetic shifts, similar to those experienced during in-person sessions. As with all Reiki, each experience is unique.

Your comfort and boundaries are always respected. Reiki can be offered with gentle hands-on placements or hands hovering just above the body. Before the session begins, we’ll discuss your preferences, and you are welcome to change these at any time. A non-touch approach is always available and is equally effective. My trauma-informed background ensures that consent, choice, and a sense of safety are central to every session, allowing you to relax and receive in a way that feels right for you.

Emotional responses can be a natural part of the healing process. Reiki may gently bring awareness to feelings that have been held in the body, allowing them to surface and release. You’re always welcome to share what comes up, or simply experience it quietly. After a session, some people notice emotions continuing to shift or settle over the following days. This is a normal part of integration, and you’re encouraged to move gently, rest when needed, and offer yourself compassion.

Yes. Reiki can complement counselling, therapy, and other supportive practices. While Reiki is not a replacement for medical or psychological care, many clients find it helpful alongside these approaches, as it supports relaxation, emotional regulation, and reconnection with the body. Reiki can work in harmony with the broader support you’re receiving, respecting your individual healing process and pace.
