Frequently Asked Questions

Reiki is a holistic healing practice that channels universal life energy to promote balance and well-being. It involves a practitioner gently placing their hands on or near the body to transfer energy, helping to reduce stress, enhance relaxation, and support healing. Please see the 'About Reiki' page for more detail.

During a Reiki session, you’ll be invited to lie down fully clothed on the treatment bed while I place my hands just above different areas of your body. The only parts of your body that will be touched are your head and feet, but this is also optional. You may feel warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation. The session is calming and non-invasive, lasting 60 minutes for a full session and 30 minutes for a taster session.

There’s no special preparation needed for a Reiki session. Wear comfortable clothing and come with an open mind. It can be helpful to set an intention or focus on an area of your life where you’d like to experience healing or balance. 

After a Reiki session, many people report feeling relaxed, peaceful, and rejuvenated. Some may experience emotional release or increased clarity. It’s also common to feel more balanced and energized in the days following the session. 

Reiki is generally considered a safe and gentle therapy with minimal side effects. However, some people may experience temporary reactions as their body adjusts to the energy healing. These can include feeling more emotional than normal, tiredness, and sensitivity. Any side effects usually go away on their own within 24 hours after treatment.
