Frequently Asked Questions

 Reiki is a gentle Japanese energy practice that supports relaxation, balance, and overall well-being. During a session, I act as a facilitator while Reiki energy flows where it is needed most. Many people experience feelings of calm, peace, emotional release, or a deeper connection with themselves. 

Each session begins with a conversation about what you would like support with and what your intentions are for the session. You will then relax comfortably while Reiki is offered through gentle hand placements (either lightly touching or hovering above the body, depending on your preference).

Sessions may include elements such as energy balancing, chakra awareness, sound healing, meditation, or intuitive guidance depending on the service booked.

 No. You do not need to have any specific beliefs or experience with energy work. Many people come simply feeling curious or wanting a quiet space to relax, reconnect, and support their own well-being. 

 No. Reiki is not massage and there is no manipulation of muscles or tissues. You remain fully clothed throughout the session. 

No. Reiki is not a psychic reading, fortune-telling service, or mediumship session. My focus is supporting relaxation, energetic balance, and your personal healing journey.

While intuitive impressions may sometimes arise during a session, they are offered as gentle reflections and are not predictions, diagnoses, or guarantees.

Reiki sessions are not based on reading someone’s aura or providing psychic information. Every person's experience with Reiki is unique, and my role is to create a supportive environment where you can connect with your own inner awareness. 

Reiki is a complementary wellness practice and is not a replacement for medical care, counselling, or treatment from qualified healthcare professionals. It is intended to support relaxation, stress reduction, and personal well-being alongside your existing care. 

People seek Reiki for many reasons, including:

• Relaxation and stress support
• Creating a sense of calm and balance
• Emotional support during life transitions
• Self-care and personal growth
• Mindfulness and self-awareness
• Supporting their overall wellness routine

Everyone experiences Reiki differently, and results are unique to each person.

Wear comfortable clothing and arrive with an open mind and willingness to relax. You may wish to think about an intention or something you would like support with, but there is no need to prepare anything specific. 

Experiences vary. Some people feel warmth, tingling, relaxation, emotions, memories, peacefulness, or simply a sense of calm. Others may not notice anything specific during the session and still appreciate the restorative experience. 

Yes, where possible, I recommend removing jewelry before your Reiki session, especially pieces made of gold or silver. In energy work practices, metals are often viewed as having their own energetic properties and may influence the flow or absorption of energy during a session.

Copper, however, is traditionally considered an excellent conductor of energy and may be worn if you choose.

If a piece of jewelry has personal, cultural, or emotional significance and you prefer to keep it on, we can honour that as part of your experience.

There is no set schedule that is right for everyone. Some people enjoy Reiki as occasional self-care, while others prefer regular sessions as part of their wellness routine. We can discuss what feels appropriate for you. 

Yes. I offer Usui Reiki training for Levels 1, 2, and Master Teacher for those who feel called to deepen their personal practice, support others through Reiki, or begin their journey as a Reiki practitioner and teacher.

Training is available in both private one-on-one sessions and small group classes, allowing for a more personalized learning experience with time for questions, practice, and integration.

Each level includes teachings, practical techniques, hands-on practice, and the attunement process to support your connection with Reiki.

My commitment to my students continues beyond the classroom. After completing your training, you will receive ongoing support, have the opportunity to participate in my monthly Reiki Shares, and be welcomed into a WhatsApp community with other Reiki students and practitioners for continued connection, practice, and support.

Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice that works with universal life force energy to support relaxation, balance, and harmony within the body, mind, and energy field. Reiki flows intuitively to where it is most needed, supporting the recipient’s own healing process.

Axiatonal Alignment is a multidimensional energy healing modality that focuses on reconnecting and restoring energetic pathways known as axiatonal lines. It works with the concept of aligning the physical body, higher self, Earth’s energy matrix, and universal energy fields.

While both practices work with energy, they offer different approaches. Reiki supports the natural flow and balance of life force energy, while Axiatonal Alignment focuses on energetic reconnection, alignment, and activation.

When combined in an Integrative Reiki & Axiatonal Alignment session, these modalities complement one another, creating a deeper energetic experience that supports balance, alignment, and connection.

Yes. Reiki can be offered remotely, as energy is not limited by physical distance. Distance sessions are available for those who are unable to attend in person or prefer receiving Reiki from the comfort of their own space. 

Yes. I offer gentle, compassionate Animal Reiki sessions in the comfort of your pet’s own home.

Animals are naturally receptive to energy and often respond beautifully to Reiki in their familiar environment. In-home sessions allow your animal to remain in a space where they feel safe and comfortable, while I support their energetic balance and overall well-being.

Animal Reiki can be offered for pets of all ages and backgrounds and may be especially supportive during times of stress, transition, illness, recovery, or simply as part of their ongoing wellness routine.

Every animal is unique, and sessions are always guided by the animal’s comfort level and willingness to participate.

If you are unsure which session is right for you, you are welcome to book a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. I will answer your questions and help guide you toward the service that best aligns with your needs.
