What to expect from a session:

Sessions are 60-75 minutes long.  When you arrive we’ll settle and talk for a bit.  I’ll ask what’s alive and potent for you in your life right now, and I’ll invite you to share what you’d like to focus on in the session.

When we move to the table you can lay face down or face up.  I’ll have props and blankets available to help keep you cozy and comfortable.  You will remain clothed, and if possible you should wear clothing that is a little warmer than what you might usually wear.  Often during a Reiki session you settle deeply into your parasympathetic nervous system (the rest and digest, restore and renew) and you can begin to feel a bit cool.

I’ll start the session with a gentle guided meditation to help you settle into your body and deepen your breathing.  A reiki session can be hands on, or hands off, that is up to you!  My hands usually get quite warm during a session, and I offer gentle touch to the head, shoulders, arms, legs, and feet.

There is no set pattern to the reiki session itself, I move in tune with what your body is needing that day.  I tend to remain quiet, allowing you to be deeply inward, but if you want to share a feeling or thought that comes up I will gently engage with it- helping you to explore the experience in your body.

At the end of the session I will slowly call your attention back into the space and into the present moment.  I will share with you what I noticed throughout the session- often this includes the overall feel of your energetic body, the ‘openness’ or ‘closedness’ of the chakras, any energy patterns of moment I felt throughout your body, and anything else that came up.

When you go home drink lots of water!  If it’s possible to have a quiet and undemanding remainder of your day that is ideal, but I know life doesn’t always allow that.  I make sure to bring you firmly back into your body before you leave, so that you aren’t walking around feeling too floaty for the rest of your day!
