Frequently Asked Questions
What is Reiki?
As we think about the world, everything around us is made up of energy. When you walk in the room and have that gut feeling, you are picking up energy. What I do is channel Universal energy to you for your higher, greater good. Whether that is aligning chakras, working with specific body parts, or moving old energy that is no longer serving you to make room for something new. Reiki is not restricted to time or space.
Is touch Necessary?
Absolutely not!! I offer distance sessions for anyone who is out of town, more comfortable in his/her own space or who would just prefer to not be touched. Universal energy has no bounds, no restrictions. I will take my instruction from you about your preference.
What may I feel during a session?
Every client is different, generally most will explain it as a deep relaxation, may day dream/have visions or go into a light sleep. Some will laugh, some will cry, the key is to let the body release whatever is coming up. You will want to drink plenty of water and will likely sleep harder that evening.
What does a session look like?
You will be in a comfortable space of your choosing where you can feel relaxed. Sessions take anywhere from 15-45 minutes. Candles and incense are always a plus to add to the ambience. Quiet space where you will not be disturbed. During the session, you will just sit back and relax. Once the session is complete, we will discuss what was intuitively brought up, if there was a message from the other side (optional), go over your chakras, anything that may have occurred for you during the session and any questions you may have.

Can a specific body part be worked on?
Absolutely, however, we will focus on what is to your higher, greater good. EX: You may come to me wanting me to work on A, but during the session, I am pulled to B. It may take a couple sessions to get to A, because B is more important for your overall good. Everyone is different. .
What are Chakras?
There are 7 main chakras that run from your spine to right above the head. Bottom to top: Root Chakra (red), Sacral Chakra (orange), Solar Plexus Chakra (yellow), Heart Chakra (green), Throat Chakra (blue), Third Eye Chakra (Indigo), Crown Chakra (Indigo/white). These are the energy centers in our body that help to keep us in balance and healthy. Charka in Sanskrit means wheels. Chakras are spinning wheels of energy that correspond to specific nerve bundles, internal organs and the energetic body.
What does it mean to have a blocked chakra?
These energy centers can get blocked by the energy of thoughts, feelings, memories, experiences, actions - all from past or current. When we hold our truth in, it builds up and eventually blocks the chakras affecting your physical and emotional well-being.
