Session Atmosphere
During an in-person Reiki session, you’ll lie fully clothed on a comfortable massage table in a tranquil setting, complete with dim lighting and soothing music. We’ll begin with a brief check-in, allowing you to share any intentions or concerns to help shape the session to your needs. A Reiki session can last between 45-60 minutes.
Reiki is a gentle, touch-based therapy, where my hands make light contact or hover just above different areas of your body. For those who prefer it, a hands-off approach can be equally effective, as Reiki energy flows to where it’s needed most.
The experience of Reiki varies widely: some people feel waves of warmth or tingling, while others may experience memories, emotions, or even see colors behind their closed eyes. Most, however, report a profound sense of relaxation and stress relief, as if layers of tension have simply melted away by the end. Many also describe a softening in areas they hadn’t realized were holding tightness, leaving them feeling lighter and more at ease.
Distance Reiki offers flexibility and comfort, allowing you to receive a session wherever you feel most at ease. Sessions can be conducted via phone, Zoom, or at a set appointment time without live communication, based on your preference. Before we begin, we’ll have a brief check-in—either with video on Zoom or by phone—to discuss your intentions, answer questions, and help you get settled. You can choose to lie down, relax, and even play soothing music on your end if that feels right. Some people like hearing gentle sounds played from my location, while others prefer their own playlist. Throughout the experience, many clients report feeling just as calm, supported, and “connected” as they do in-person, describing a sense of subtle warmth or calm that unfolds no matter the distance. After the session, we’ll reconnect to discuss any feelings or insights that may have arisen, ensuring you walk away feeling grounded and clear-minded.
Sessions
The Details
Length of Session
Each Reiki session lasts between 45 and 60 minutes. This time-frame allows for a relaxed, unhurried environment where you can fully settle in and allow energy to flow naturally, fostering a calm, open state that tends to linger long after you leave.
Number of Sessions
The number of sessions varies based on your unique needs and goals. For specific concerns, an initial series of three to five sessions, spaced 1 to 2 weeks apart, can help establish a foundation. Many individuals find that making Reiki an ongoing part of their self-care routine helps maintain balance, reduce stress, and support overall wellness. As sessions build over time, it’s common to feel increasingly centered, clear-minded, and more resilient when facing life’s challenges.
What to Wear
Comfort is Key
Wear loose, comfortable clothing to allow full relaxation. You’ll remain fully clothed during the session.
Bringing or wearing socks can add extra comfort, as some people notice shifts in body temperature.
Feeling cozy and at ease often enhances the overall experience and allows for a smoother energetic flow.
Atmosphere
Personalization
Expect a peaceful, welcoming environment with dim lighting and soft music. We’ll take a few moments before we begin to talk about your intentions, any areas you’d like to focus on, or any concerns you have. This simple check-in helps personalize your session, making it feel meaningful and tailored to your needs. The overall atmosphere is often described as soothing and supportive, putting even newcomers at ease from the moment they enter.
During Your Session
Restoration
Reiki is a gentle touch therapy. My hands will rest lightly on or just above different areas of your body, though I’m happy to use a hands-off approach if you prefer. People sometimes note sensations of gentle warmth, subtle waves of energy, or a pervasive sense of calm slowly settling over them. Others just drift into a deeply relaxed state, feeling restored without necessarily pinpointing a specific sensation. However you experience it, the Reiki process is designed to nurture a feeling of safety, comfort, and inner harmony.
After Your Session
Clarity
Many individuals report feeling lighter, more at peace, and more centered after their Reiki session. It’s helpful to stay hydrated and give yourself a bit of time to absorb the experience. Often, the sense of clarity and calm you leave with carries into the following days, influencing how you approach daily stressors and personal challenges. If you have any questions or feelings you’d like to discuss afterward, I’m here to listen and support your continued healing journey.
