Please wear comfortable clothing. You will remain fully clothed throughout your session.

Yes. I recommend eating a light meal or snack within a few hours of your appointment.

If possible, limit caffeine for approximately 12 hours before your session. This is a preparation recommendation, not medical advice.

For the best experience, avoid alcohol, recreational cannabis, and other non-prescribed intoxicating substances for at least 12 hours before your appointment. Continue taking all prescription medications exactly as directed by your licensed healthcare provider.

My services complement—not replace—appropriate medical care. Consult your healthcare provider if you have questions about whether a session is appropriate for your particular health concerns.

Each session is individualized based on your goals and comfort level. We begin with a brief conversation before moving into the agreed-upon complementary wellness modalities.

Within the Usui Reiki tradition, both light-touch and hands-off approaches are recognized and widely practiced during in-person Reiki sessions. My personal preference is to work primarily within the client's biofield, with my hands positioned just above the body rather than making physical contact. I have found this approach allows me to better perceive subtle shifts throughout the session while respecting each client's comfort and personal space. For clients receiving in-person sessions in Florida, Reiki is provided as a hands-off modality, and tuning forks, or crystals, if used, are used within and around the biofield rather than directly on the body, in accordance with applicable Florida requirements.

During a Reiki session, you may feel warmth or coolness in different areas of your body, tingling or movement. Some people have visualizations of colors or events or memories. Some people burp, laugh, yell, cry, or even pass gas. Some people feel nothing at all. Some people fall asleep. The body reacts to sound and energy work in a myriad of ways. It is all normal.

Simply relax. There is no 'right' way to experience a session.

Every person's experience is different. The absence of noticeable sensations does not mean the session was ineffective.

Many clients describe feeling relaxed, peaceful, mentally clear, or refreshed. Others notice subtle changes over the following hours or days. Every experience is unique.

Some clients report temporary emotional release, vivid dreams, or heightened awareness of thoughts and feelings after a session. Periods of deep relaxation may allow emotions or stress that were previously in the background to come into greater awareness. These experiences vary from person to person and are not considered a measure of whether a session was successful. If you experience severe, persistent, or concerning physical or psychological symptoms, please contact an appropriate licensed healthcare provider.

Yes. Some people feel energized while others prefer additional rest. Stay hydrated, nourish yourself, and allow your body time to settle.

• Drink plenty of water.
• Eat nourishing meals.
• Rest if your body asks for it.
• Spend time outdoors if possible.
• Journal any observations.
• Approach your experience with curiosity rather than expectation.

Some clients schedule a single session, while others incorporate sessions into an ongoing wellness routine. We can discuss what best supports your goals.

No. Clients come from many different backgrounds and belief systems. Curiosity and an open mind are welcome, but no particular belief system is required.

No.

No. My services are complementary wellness practices and are not intended to replace medical, psychological, or mental health care.
