Reiki Therapy
The number one thing I hear is: “Something feels off. I don’t know what it is, but something is off.” Feeling off can affect all areas of your life. It can cause anxiety, sluggishness, brain fog, pain, restlessness, trouble sleeping, negative thinking, confusion, procrastination, lethargy, aches and pains, insecurities, and fears, to name a few. These signals let you know something has negatively affected your energy system. Reiki was designed to deal with these disruptions and bring the system back into harmony.
During your session I will connect with your system, conduct an overall evaluation, and then make corrections where needed. This may involve calming overactive energies, stimulating sluggish energies, clearing blocks and traumas, and channeling Reiki directly into troubled areas.
Channeling this energy into the body induces a relaxed state. This relaxed state activates the natural healing process known as rest and digest. Alone, rest and digest is a powerful healing phase. Pair that natural ability with a stream of pure life force energy and the skill of the Reiki practitioner to pinpoint the exact places that need attention, and you have a synergistic healing approach that can restore physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
Reiki has so much to offer—from simply inducing a relaxed state to recharging, rebalancing, or recalibrating your entire energy system to restore physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Distance Reiki
We'll start your first distance Reiki session with a phone chat so I can get to know you and connect with your energy system. Then we will hang up, you will lie down—maybe put on some calming music—and I will work on your energy system. We’ll end with a phone call to give you an overall view of the session.
Follow-ups include a 15-minute phone call and 45 minutes of channeled Reiki.

Frequently asked questions
What is Reiki and how does it work? Reiki is a healing-touch technique practiced in Japan in the early nineteen hundreds by a Buddhist monk named Mikao Usui. While in meditation, Usui was instructed on how to work directly with life force energy to relieve stress, promote relaxation, unblock energy channels, and balance Chakras. He called this energy Reiki, which means Universal life force energy, the same power that creates and runs the Universe. Along with training, Reiki practitioners receive a series of attunements that acclimate their energy systems to bring this life force energy through them and into the bodies of others. We do this using a hands-on approach. Channeling this energy into the body induces a relaxed state. This relaxed state activates the natural healing process known as rest and digest. Alone, rest and digest is a powerful healing phase. Pair that natural ability with a stream of pure life force energy and the skill of the Reiki practitioner to pinpoint the exact places that need attention, and you have a synergistic healing approach that can restore physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.
Is Reiki like a Massage? Although both therapies use the hands as healing tools, that is where the similarity ends. Massage asks that you disrobe so the practitioner can use their hands to knead muscles, manipulate tissue, move lymphatic fluid, relieve physical tension, and alleviate stiffness. While massage can passively affect the subtle energy systems, the focus is usually on the body’s physical structure. In Reiki, you remain fully clothed at all times, and the practitioner uses a light laying of the hands to connect with your subtle energy systems so that they can make adjustments that will affect the mind, body, spirit, and emotion to create balance and restore well-being.
How is a Reiki Treatment Performed? During a session, you will lay on a treatment table fully clothed, minus your shoes. You will have your eyes closed, the room will be dark, and relaxing music will play. Blankets and pillows will be provided for your comfort. Most of the time, you will be on your back; occasionally, I may ask you to lie face down. We can adjust the table at an angle if you cannot lay flat. I will work with chakras, meridians, masculine/feminine energies, organ systems, neurological points, pressure points, mental, emotional, and spiritual energies, and some higher systems. I will start at your feet, doing a general assessment to see how everything is working. From there, you may feel me working above you or on the body. You will feel a hand held in place, gentle tapping, or light pressure as I move around your body, making adjustments, clearing stagnant energy, repairing communication issues, and providing new information to your energy systems. At times, I may use stones, tuning forks, or essential oils. If you have allergies to essential oils, please let me know at the beginning of the session. When complete, I will let you know what I found, and you can share your experience and ask questions.
What will I feel during my session? Reiki induces a deep meditative state, so it is common to feel heavy, as if you are sinking into the table, or light, like floating off the table, sometimes feeling both simultaneously. Depending on your level of sensitivity, you may feel a lot or not much. Some of the most frequently felt sensations are tingling, pulsing, hot and cold in the area being worked on, and feeling like something is moving inside you. People have reported seeing swirling colors and bright white lights, having epiphany moments, past life recall, random swells of emotions, and an intense sense of being relaxed and completely present. It is also possible to experience some discomfort when working in a damaged area, moving stuck energy, dealing with trauma, or encountering resistance from the energy system. The discomfort is usually mild and passes quickly, but we can always stop, move to a different spot, or talk about what is happening. The most common discomfort reported was feeling slightly nauseous, tightness in the throat, heaviness in the chest, and restless legs.
What if I don't feel anything? That’s ok; it’s still working. Reiki works with subtle energies; not everyone feels a physical sensation when receiving a reiki treatment; some aren’t aware of what they are feeling, and some need a few sessions to acclimate to the new energy before they start to notice sensations. Your sensitivity level will dictate how much, if anything, you feel during a session. Some people feel everything, some don’t feel anything, but most are in the middle.
How do I prepare for my session? Take a few minutes to explore your intentions. What made you want to try Reiki? What are you hoping to gain from Reiki therapy? What do you feel is getting in your way? Get in touch with your motivations, fears, and expectations, then set the intention to show up and allow yourself to have whatever experience you have. Be open to new things and receptive to how it all plays out.
What will I feel after my session? After your session, your systems will continue healing for 24-48 hours. Each person is unique and may experience something different. Some feel rested and peaceful now that we have calmed the system down. Others feel tired and a little depleted, even having mild flu-like symptoms that pass quickly as toxins move through the system. Some feel energetic and rejuvenated now that energy is flowing freely. Listening to your body and resting if you feel tired is important. Most people report mental calm and clarity, an ability to better deal with stress, and improvements in sleep. Since Reiki works on all levels, you may experience an emotional release, vivid dreams, or spontaneous memories. *If you have any questions or concerns after your session, please text me, and we can address them.
How many sessions will I need? I wish I could tell you that one session will correct everything that is out of balance, but quick fixes don’t provide lasting effects. That’s not to say that one session won’t profoundly affect how you feel and give you some relief—it absolutely can! But it is through commitment and repetition that we see substantial progress. You didn't get where you are overnight; it has taken years, even decades, to create your imbalances. Think of it as working out or losing weight; you don’t lift weights once and have bulging muscles, or you eat healthy for one day and drop ten pounds. You start to see those muscles grow through dedication and repetition, and the numbers on the scale come down. It’s creating a new foundation, a healthier way to do things. Each person is unique, and their progress will be based on many factors, so it is generally recommended to do it once a week for four weeks. In that time, we can do some house cleaning, make repairs to the energy systems, establish new patterns, and deal with what may be getting in the way.
Is a Reiki treatment the same as a Reiki attunement? No, they are two separate things. A Reiki treatment is where a trained Reiki practitioner channels life force energy into your body to clear debris, calm overactive areas, stimulate sluggish areas, move stuck energy, release traumas, and address trouble areas. A Reiki attunement is something that a trained Reiki Master/Teacher performs on students learning Reiki to acclimate their systems to receive and channel life force energy, along with passing energetic knowledge from teacher to student.
What are the benefits of Reiki therapy and how long does it take to see results? Reiki activates the system's natural healing abilities and assists with cleaning out old debris, removing toxic energy, repairing dysfunction, healing energetic wounds, balancing systems, providing new beneficial information, and reestablishing healthy communication so you can function more efficiently. This brings peace and balance to the system and alleviates physical, mental, and spiritual discomforts. Each person is unique, and their progress will vary depending on many factors. It's typical to find better sleep, pain reduction, more focus, a calmer mind, and less reactivity within the first few sessions.
What should I wear? You will lay on a treatment table for an hour, dress comfortably—yoga pants, sweatpants, and even pajama pants. Dress in a way that does not prevent you from relaxing. The more relaxed you are, the more productive the session will be. Belts, jeans (because of the buttons at the waist), intricate shirts, large earrings, watches, and bulky jewelry can all get in your practitioner’s way and prevent them from being able to access a specific point. You will have your eyes closed, so it may be best to remove contacts; they may become dry and make it hard for you to relax. The goal is comfort!
