We begin with a brief check-in.

You can reveal as much or as a little about yourself as you are comfortable; overall we will keep our speaking to a minimum.

During in-person sessions, recipients are fully clothed and lie on a massage table with fresh linens and blankets.

I combine very light touch (think of a butterfly perched on the edge of a flower petal) with the hovering of hands close to the body for biodynamic feedback.

Receiving reiki is similar to massage or other body work in that we work systematically with different areas of your body but the quality of your experience is unique and indescribable…you really need to experience it for yourself!

If you choose, we will begin with a short grounding guided meditation (recommended for those new to reiki & mindfulness practices).

You may also choose to remain in complete restorative silence before, during and after your session.

Many people slip into a pleasing liminal state of deep relaxation, or even fall asleep. Some of us may feel a range of emotions bubble up, such as laughter and/or tears.

Every session is different. Every session has benefits.

Reiki will meet you where you are and you need not DO anything to prepare. Here are a few suggestions for your comfort, if possible:

• wear loose comfortable clothes

• eat lightly & hydrate beforehand

• clear space in your schedule for quiet time directly after a session - even a 5 minute walk before heading back to work/life/family will make a difference

An initial 3 session approach is recommended - ideally weekly or bi-weekly. This allows you to fully open to receiving and gives you time to integrate the benefits.

For chronic issues and to support general wellbeing, monthly sessions are recommended.

Above all, listen to your body and intuition, most of us know when something is really resonating with us and we want/need more!

Reiki is a lineage of working with the energetic body that was codified over 100 years ago in Japan. It is taught with reverence, passing the same essential knowledge and energetic attunements experientially from teacher to student. The word reiki is translated from Japanese to mean universal life energy or flow. It is what makes the wind blow and the grass grow!

Direct touch is not necessary to receive the benefit of reiki energy. Virtual sessions combine the structure of a short guided meditation with distance energy work; you can receive the benefit of reiki practice no matter where you are located. Try it!

Reiki supports the whole you no matter your religious beliefs or world views.
