Reiki Frequently Asked Questions

Reiki is an energy healing practice that focuses on balancing the body’s energy flow. During a Reiki session, the therapist gently places their hands on or near the client’s body to channel healing universal life force energy, promoting relaxation and stress relief. 

During a Reiki session, the practitioner channels healing energy through their hands to help restore balance and promote well-being. Reiki also works to balance the chakras or energy centers, within the body. As the energy flows, you may feel a sense of deep relaxation, warmth, or tingling, which indicates the energy is aligning and restoring balance. This process can help clear blockages, improve energy flow and support emotional, mental and physical healing. 

Wear loose, comfortable clothing for your Reiki session. You will remain fully clothed throughout the treatment, so comfort is key.
