Frequently Asked Questions

Is Reiki going to cure me?
    Often what we perceive to be a problem may not be the real issue. Reiki is an intelligent, healing energy. It will go where it is needed most to promote healing and balance. For this reason, no single outcome can be guaranteed.

How many sessions will I need?
    Everyone’s healing journey is unique and different. Therefore, I cannot tell you how many sessions you will need. However, The more you receive Reiki, the more benefits you will experience.

Can Reiki harm me?
    No, Reiki is a positive, healing energy that promotes physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual balance. Reiki always works for your greatest good. As Reiki works to promote balance, you may experience a healing crisis.

What is a healing crisis?
    The healing journey can be painful and challenging at times. This can trigger a healing crisis. This can occur after receiving any complimentary or alternative treatment, such as Massage Therapy, Reflexology, Acupuncture, or Reiki.

Signs someone may be experiencing a healing crisis:
  • Body aches, fatigue, headache, chills, nausea, diarrhea, etc.
  • Processing and releasing intense emotions, Shift in perspective, New Insights, Change in thought patterns.
  • Questioning/Revisiting your beliefs on religion, life, the world, and yourself.
Using your own judgment where your health is concerned is key. If you experience any symptoms that are of concern to you, please consult with your healthcare provider.

What should I expect?
Most people experience a profound sense of relaxation. Some people experience a temperature change, see colors or images, feel sensations throughout their body, receive messages, or experience a shift in/release of emotions. Others experience nothing at all. Everyone’s experience is unique.

What if I don’t believe in Reiki?
    Reiki is an intelligent energy. It knows how much energy you are open to and able to receive at any moment. The receiver should be open to receiving the energy on some level, even if they are skeptical about the process. Chances are, if you booked a session with me, then a part of you is already open to the experience. This is all that is needed.
