Frequently asked questions you may have

Will I be lying down on a massage table or sitting?

Reiki is usually performed on a client who is fully reclined comfortably on a massage table. It also may be performed on a client who is semi reclined on a massage chair or recliner. If you have mobility or pain issues please communicate these too myself so I can make you your most comfortable for your session.

 

Am I clothed during my reiki session?

Yes, Unlike a massage therapy session, you will be fully clothed. For your session I recommend you wear loose comfortable clothing.

 

Will the Reiki practitioners hands touch me in any way?

At your option. Reiki may be done with a light gentle static touch or it can be done a few inches / Centimetres above your body at the hand positions with no actual touch. There are standard hand placements beginning at your head or feet, avoiding all sensitive body parts. Let me know prior to the session which you prefer.

 

Is one session enough or will I need a series of sessions?

One session is a great start! You will see for yourself how Reiki makes you feel. Many people after trying one session, go on to purchase a course of sessions to progressively work on their current wellness and spiritual goals.

 

What will I feel during the session?

Most clients feel a sense of relaxation and peace. The mind may feel calm and your physical body should feel relaxed. Reiki is so relaxing that sometimes clients may fall asleep during a session. You will still receive the full benefits of the treatment, sleeping or awake.

 

Is there talking during the session?

The session is done without talking, I use soft ambient music in the background to aid your relaxation and assist with energy upgrades. If you do want to communicate something to me thou  while the session is in progress of course this is fine.

 

After I leave my session, should I do anything special?

Please drink plenty of water to hydrate your body as your body’s energy system may be moving at a more optimum rate, so please care for yourself with water and healthy food. It is beneficial to spend some time quiet that day or evening after your treatment to journal or to contemplate as you may have some insights and further mental clarity as your body continues to process the Reiki healing.

 

Are there any medical conditions where I should not receive Reiki?

Reiki is a wonderful complement in a health or wellness plan. It supports your work with your primary care providers. There is nothing that can interfere with conventional medical care.

 

If I have the flu or a contagious disease should I have Reiki?

No. As kindness to myself wait until you are feeling better and not contagious before scheduling a session.
