Questions, answered plainly

Reiki is a gentle energy practice offered with hands on or just above the body. I use it with the intention of supporting rest and balance across the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual parts of your experience. Sessions are unhurried and shaped entirely around your comfort.

Your first session runs a full two hours. We begin by talking for as long as you need, which often fills the first hour. When you feel ready, I step out while you settle onto the heated table. Then comes about an hour of hands-on or hands-off energy work. There's no rush. The pace is yours.

Always. Every person chooses hands-on or hands-off, and I respect either without question. Your comfort is the most important thing, because comfort is what lets you relax and receive the energy with little to no resistance.

Wear whatever lets you feel at ease. You can lie fully clothed over the blankets, or get under them, where clothes are optional. I step out of the room while you settle onto the table either way. There's no right answer here. Whatever helps you relax is the right choice for your session.

I offer remote Reiki for people who can't be in the studio, and I've held sessions for clients in Belgium, Florida, Washington State, and Oregon. I don't promise everyone will experience it the same way. Clients who've worked with me remotely have described feeling comfortable, connected, and as though they were present in the room.

Reiki is a complementary practice. It doesn't diagnose or treat a medical or mental health condition, and it doesn't replace care from a licensed professional. If you're working with a doctor, counselor, or other provider, continue to follow their guidance.

These energies are Universal, and they're meant for everyone. I welcome adults, teens, children, and animals, and I've worked with people from ages 6 to 86. Reiki isn't reserved for one kind of person or one kind of hard season. Each session starts with the person in front of me and adapts to what's best for them in that moment. Animal sessions are in person, and I travel to wherever the animal is most comfortable.

Experiences vary from person to person. Some clients describe deep relaxation, warmth, or a massage-like feeling. Others feel restless or notice very little in the moment. There's no required response, and you can pause, speak up, or change your hands-on preference at any time.
