Reiki is a gentle, hands-on energy healing practice that promotes relaxation, stress reduction, and balance. It originated in Japan and was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in 1922. Reiki works by channeling universal life force energy through the practitioner’s hands to help restore harmony to the mind, body, and spirit. It is safe, non-invasive, and suitable for everyone.

Everyone benefits from reiki healing. Even your animals.

Reiki is based on the principle that energy flows through all living beings. When this energy is blocked or imbalanced, it can contribute to stress, fatigue, and illness. A Reiki practitioner acts as a conduit for healing energy, directing it where it’s needed to support the body’s natural ability to heal itself.

A Reiki session is a gentle, non-invasive experience. You lie down fully clothed on a comfortable treatment table while the practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above your body. The energy flows, and many people experience deep relaxation, warmth, tingling, or emotional release. Sessions typically last 45 to 90 minutes. You can read this article to learn more

Reiki is known to help with:

• Reducing stress and anxiety

• Enhancing emotional well-being

• Supporting pain relief and physical healing

• Promoting better sleep and relaxation

• Helping with emotional processing and trauma release

• Balancing energy and improving mental clarity

It depends on the practitioner and your preference. Some practitioners place their hands lightly on the body, while others hover just above without direct touch. Both methods are equally effective. I am happy to do either and will always ask what you would prefer.

Everyone experiences Reiki differently, but common sensations include:

• Gentle warmth or tingling

• Deep relaxation, like a meditative state

• A sense of floating or lightness

• Emotional release, such as tears or laughter

• Some people even fall asleep, which is perfectly normal!

Yes! Reiki is not limited by time or space, so it can be sent to someone in a different location through distance healing techniques. Many people report feeling the same calming and healing effects as they would in an in-person session. For more information I recommend reading this article

Reiki is all about comfort and relaxation, so it's best to wear loose, comfortable clothing that allows you to fully relax. Many people choose soft, breathable fabrics like cotton or yoga-style clothing.

Avoid anything too tight, restrictive, or heavy, as well as bulky jewelry, belts, or accessories that may distract you during the session. Since you’ll remain fully clothed throughout, comfort is key to enhancing your experience.

There’s no strict preparation needed, but a few simple steps can help you get the most out of your Reiki session:

• Hydrate well before your session, as energy work can sometimes leave you feeling thirsty.

• Avoid heavy meals or caffeine right before, so your body can fully relax.

• Arrive with an open mind and no expectations—each Reiki experience is unique.

• Wear comfortable clothing and remove anything that may distract you (e.g., tight jewelry, heavy layers).

Most importantly, just come as you are. Reiki meets you exactly where you are in your journey, supporting your well-being in the way you need it most. For more information check out this guide.
