What is Reiki?

Reiki is a form of energy healing that comes from Japan - the word itself translates to "universal life force energy". It's based on the knowing that we all have an energetic field running through and around us, and when that energy is low, blocked, or imbalanced, it can affect us emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. 

​

How does Reiki work?

Through Reiki, I channel this universal energy through my hands, allowing it to flow into your system to support balance, clarity, and healing. It's not about me giving you my energy - it's about becoming a clear channel so your body and spirit can receive exactly what they need.

​

What should I expect during a session?

Each session is unique, but you can expect a calm, grounding space where you're invited to fully relax. You'll lie down (fully clothed) while I work either hands-on or just above your body. You might feel warmth, tingling, or emotional release - or simply a sense of deep peace. Some people see colors or receive insights. Others just feel very relaxed - all of it is perfect.

​

Is Reiki a religious practice?

No, Reiki is not a religion, nor is it a religious practice. You don't have to believe in anything specific for Reiki to work. You just have to be open, and consent to receiving the energy. It's a gentle yet powerful practice that activates your natural healing abilities, calms the nervous system, and helps you reconnect to yourself on a deep level. 

​

Is Reiki safe?

Yes, Reiki is completely safe and non-invasive. It works alongside any other treatments or therapies and never causes harm. It's especially helpful for stress, anxiety, fatigue, emotional overwhelm, and energetic heaviness. 

​

Can Reiki help with emotional healing or trauma?

While Reiki isn't a replacement for other healing modalities, it beautifully complements emotional healing work. It creates a safe space for your nervous system to soften, release old patterns, and bring buried emotions into light - all in a gentle, supported way. 

​

Does Reiki provide pain relief?

Reiki can support pain relief - both physically and emotionally. However, the experience is unique for each individual. Reiki works by promoting deep relaxation and restoring balance energetically, which allows the body's natural healing processes to become activated. Many Reiki recipients have reported feeling a reduction in tension, inflammation, headaches, and chronic pain - especially when the discomfort is tied to energetic or emotional blockages. While it is not a replacement for medical treatment, it can be a powerful complementary healing method. 

 

How often should I receive Reiki?

This depends on your intention and where you're at in your healing journey. Some people come weekly or bi-weekly for ongoing support, while others come monthly or as needed. I'll always honor your intuition and what your body is asking for. 

​

Do you offer distance Reiki?

Yes, energy knows no limits and is not bound by the concept of space or time. I offer virtual sessions where Reiki is sent to you wherever you are in the world. I also offer distance Reiki to past, present, or future experiences you wish to bring healing to - and these sessions do not require you to be present. All I need is your name and a photo. The effects are just as powerful as in person work, and you'll receive the same grounding, clearing, and healing benefits.
