Question 1

What is Reiki healing session?

Accepted Answer

A Reiki healing session is a gentle yet powerful experience, offering deep relaxation, balance, and renewal. As you rest fully clothed, I place my hands lightly on or just above your body, allowing Reiki energy to flow where it’s needed most. This universal life force or spiritual energy supports your body, mind, and spirit, easing stress, releasing what no longer serves you, and creating space for healing and harmony. Many describe feeling lighter, deeply peaceful, and more connected to themselves after a session – like a reset for the soul.

Question 2

What can I expect during a typical Reiki healing session?

Accepted Answer

A Reiki session is an opportunity to relax and unwind, giving yourself space to simply be. I recommend lying down on a massage table, wrapped in a blanket if you’d like, but if sitting is more comfortable for you, we’ll ensure you’re fully at ease in whatever position feels best.

For the next 45 minutes or so, I will place my hands gently on or just above your body, following the natural flow of energy as your system draws in what it needs most in that moment. You may experience gentle tingling, warmth, or coolness in different areas, or notice subtle twitches as your body releases and rebalances. You might drift into a peaceful sleep, or simply feel stillness—every experience is unique, and even if you don’t notice any particular sensations, Reiki is always working.

After the session, we’ll take a moment to check in, go over any aftercare guidance, and answer any questions you may have—allowing you to leave feeling lighter, more centred, and deeply nourished.

Question 4

How should I prepare for my session?

Accepted Answer

There's nothing special you need to do - simply come as you are. To help you relax for the session, it can be helpful to have caffeine free drinks beforehand, and I recommend wearing comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. You'll be fully dressed for the treatment and I'll invite you to remove your shoes on arrival, so you're welcome to bring extra socks if you like, although the rooms we'll be in are warm and cosy.

People often feel quite relaxed and zen after a treatment so it can be nice to create time to take it easy for the rest of the day, if you can - perhaps a nice walk in nature if the weather allows and you feel like it. We can chat more about aftercare on the day.

I'll invite you to lay down if that's okay for you (sitting is also an option). A blanket and eye mask will be available should you want them, plus warm drinks and water. You might like to bring a bottle of water for your journey home as drinking plenty after a treatment is also helpful, which we can talk through.

Reiki will meet you exactly where you are, whether you arrive feeling calm and open or stressed and uncertain. Just bring yourself, and Reiki will take care of the rest.

Question 5

Is a Reiki healing session safe for everyone?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive healing practice that is safe for everyone, regardless of age or health condition. Because it works by supporting your body’s natural ability to heal and restore balance, it adapts to what you need in the moment, never forcing or overwhelming. Reiki is complementary to all other forms of care, including medical treatments and therapies, and can be particularly supportive during times of stress, recovery, or change. If you have any specific concerns, I’m always happy to chat and answer any questions.

Question 6

What is Cacao & Reiki Healing Session?

Accepted Answer

A Reiki and cacao healing session is a deeply nourishing experience that brings together the heart-opening properties of ceremonial cacao with the gentle yet powerful energy of Reiki. We begin by drinking a cup of cacao with intention, allowing its warmth to soften the mind and open the heart. As the cacao works its magic, I’ll guide you into relaxation before flowing into a Reiki session, where healing energy is channelled to where it’s needed most.

This beautiful combination invites deep rest, emotional release, and a sense of connection—within yourself and beyond. It’s a time to pause, receive, and realign with your heart’s wisdom.

Question 7

Is cacao safe for everyone?

Accepted Answer

Cacao is generally safe for most people, but because it is a natural stimulant and heart opener, there are a few things to consider. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a heart condition, high blood pressure, or take antidepressants (especially MAOIs or high doses of SSRIs), it’s best to check in with a healthcare professional before drinking ceremonial-strength cacao.

That said, cacao can still be enjoyed in smaller amounts or with adjustments to suit your needs. It’s all about listening to your body and honouring what feels right for you. If you have any concerns, I’m happy to chat and help you find the best approach.
