We get these questions a lot. Here are our best answers...
I’m skeptical about Reiki—how can I know it really works?
It’s completely normal to feel skeptical, especially if you’ve never experienced Reiki before. Many of my clients felt the same way initially but were surprised by how much they felt during and after their sessions. Some have reported sensations of energy moving through their body, while others have seen colors with their eyes closed—these are signs that Reiki is working to balance your energy. While Reiki’s effects may vary from person to person, it's designed to promote relaxation and healing in a gentle, non-invasive way. The best way to know if it works for you is to try a session and see how you feel..
Will I feel any side effects after a Reiki session?
Most clients leave a Reiki session feeling relaxed and refreshed, but some may experience mild side effects like dizziness or an emotional release. On rare occasions, clients go through what feels like an “emotional cleansing,” where they feel more intense emotions for a day or so. This is part of the body’s natural healing process, and I always check in with my clients after their session to offer support if needed. If you feel off, I’m here to help you ground your energy and move through the experience. Resting and staying hydrated after a session is also recommended to help your body integrate the healing.
How will I know if Reiki is working for me?
Reiki works in subtle but powerful ways, and the most common sign is how you feel after a session. Many clients report feeling calmer, with clearer and more coherent thoughts—no more racing mind. Your body may feel more relaxed, breathing becomes deeper and fuller, and many people experience a great night’s sleep after Reiki. You’ll likely notice a sense of connection within your body and a feeling of wholeness, as if you can take on life’s challenges with renewed confidence and ease. The results may be subtle at first, but they tend to build over time.

How does a Reiki session feel, and what should I expect during one?
During a Reiki session, most people feel a sense of warmth, tingling, or deep relaxation as the energy flows. You’ll lie down fully clothed while I gently place my hands over different areas of your body. Many clients feel lighter, more peaceful, and centered by the end of the session.
Can Reiki be done remotely, and is it just as effective as in-person sessions?

Can I book a single session, or do I need to commit to multiple appointments?
You’re welcome to book a single Reiki session with no commitment to multiple appointments. Each session is designed to provide immediate benefits, but many clients find that regular sessions deepen their healing over time. Whether you're looking for a one-time reset or ongoing support, the choice is entirely up to you.
