No. Reiki is a complementary practice, not a replacement for medical care. If you have a health concern, it’s crucial to consult a qualified medical professional. Many people who receive Reiki find it supportive alongside their regular treatments, helping them relax, reduce stress, and feel more balanced, but it is never intended to take the place of professional medical advice.
annot be used in place of medical assistance. Always get medical advice from a qualified professional. Reiki is regarded as complementary therapy and can be used in conjunction with Western/allopathic medicine.
No. If you’re experiencing emotional distress, working with a mental health professional is essential. While some people say Reiki sessions help them feel more centered, calm, or emotionally “lightened,” it is not a substitute for professional counseling, therapy, or psychiatric care. Consider discussing complementary therapies like Reiki with your mental health practitioner if you’re curious—they can help determine what’s best for you.
Many people report feeling more at ease emotionally after a session—“lighter” or more relaxed. Some say it helps clear their minds, improve their mood, or give them a sense of calm they carry into their daily lives. Studies, including those from reputable institutions, suggest Reiki can support overall well-being. However, individual experiences vary, and emotional healing may also benefit from medical, therapeutic, or other professional guidance.
Absolutely. It’s normal to feel unsure, especially if you’re new to energy work. Many clients arrive feeling uncertain and leave describing a subtle but noticeable shift—whether that’s feeling more relaxed, sleeping better, or simply appreciating a sense of stillness. If you’re curious, consider starting with a single session to see what it feels like for you, with no pressure or expectations.
Some people feel warmth, tingling, or gentle waves of relaxation. Others might feel emotionally lighter, gain mental clarity, or notice subtle shifts a few days later. It’s also completely normal to feel very little during the session itself. The benefits can be quiet and gradual, unfolding over time. Everyone’s experience is unique.
No, you don’t need any particular spiritual or religious belief to benefit from Reiki. It’s often described as a gentle, supportive energy that meets you where you are. Many clients who consider themselves non-spiritual find value in the relaxation, stress reduction, and sense of calm it provides.
While experiences vary, many people say they leave feeling “lighter,” “calmer,” and better able to handle daily stresses. Some notice improved sleep, reduced physical tension, or clearer thinking. If you have questions about what you experienced or how to integrate the feeling into your life, I’m happy to chat afterward.
This depends on your personal goals and needs. Some people feel a positive shift after a single session, while others find that multiple sessions—spread out over a few weeks—create more lasting changes. Those who incorporate Reiki regularly often say it becomes part of their self-care routine, helping them maintain a sense of balance over the long term.
Distance Reiki works by tapping into the universal life energy that connects all of us, transcending physical boundaries. Clients often describe feeling “calmer,” “lighter,” and more centered even when we’re not physically together. Whether we connect by phone, Zoom, or agree on a set appointment time, I’ll guide you through a brief check-in to establish intentions and help you relax. During the session, energy is channeled to you just as it would be in person, often resulting in the same gentle warmth, emotional relief, and sense of peaceful alignment. Afterward, we’ll talk about any sensations or insights you experienced, ensuring you feel supported and informed, no matter the distance between us.
You may encounter different schools and styles of Reiki, and occasional debates about lineage authenticity. However, Dr. Usui, the founder of Reiki, believed that Reiki is a universal gift, not limited to one person or organization. Rather than focusing on differences, trust your instincts and choose a practitioner who creates a safe, supportive environment and resonates with your personal comfort and goals.
Life happens—we understand. That said, time and space are intentionally held just for you. Sessions are scheduled in a rented healing space, which I reserve just for you. Since vouchers are provided in full-hour increments and cannot be divided:
- If you need to cancel with at least 24 hours’ notice, we will simply reschedule.
- If you cancel with less than 24 hours’ notice, a room charge fee of $25.00 will be issued.
- No-shows or same-day cancellations – 100% of the session fee will be charged
I’m also honored to be a part of the healing journey through the Hope Lives! program. If you are not feeling well but still want to receive your session, you are welcome to shift your in-person session to a Distance Reiki session during the same time slot. You can still benefit from the energy work without needing to be present in person and without having to late cancel your appointment.
Your well-being is the priority, and this policy helps ensure I can continue to serve all clients in a sustainable way. Thank you for understanding and honoring this energetic exchange.
