What to expect with your first session

Reiki is an ancient Japanese technique intended to relieve physical, mental, and emotional ailments through a hands-on approach in correlation of the body's seven chakras. Reiki practitioners have been taught to channel the universal life force energy needed to promote healing. As humans, we all have natural abilities to heal...when you injure yourself, the first thing you do out of instinct is grab the wound, correct? As unnatural as it sounds in today's society, Reiki has been around for centuries and has only been rediscovered by Dr. Usui in the 1920's. We still have so much to learn about our bodies!

So, what should you expect with this first session? To begin, you will be brought to a calm, quiet, healing environment. Sessions last 45 minutes to an hour. We may discuss any current/past issues which you would like to address before and after your session. This not only helps the practitioner better understand your needs, but also helps you establish grounds for your own healing process. You will have the choice to get a hands-on or above treatment-both work the same and are simply about your comfort which is of the upmost importance. Normal reactions are emotional responses, falling asleep, seeing colors, pins and needles, heat or coolness, twitching, numbness, and itchiness. Please keep in mind that Reiki does not replace medical treatment nor does it diagnose and you should continue all of your regular care in addition to getting Reiki. I wish you the best on your healing jorney. Much love and light to you!
