FAQs

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing. Reiki is a gentle and safe spiritual healing energy that is intuitive in nature, and therefore only helps and never harms. Reiki is divine, universal energy and helps to restore balance and health within the body’s energy system, bringing about emotional, spiritual, physical, and/or mental well-being.

I’ve never received Reiki before, what should I expect?

We’ll talk about any questions you have before we begin, and I’ll ask about any intentions you may have for your Reiki session.

During the session, you’ll be fully clothed, and I’ll always ask if there are certain areas of the body I should avoid.

Reiki can be given hands-on or hands-off — hand placements will never be in vulnerable areas of the body.

You may feel sleepy, relaxed, energized, emotional, or zoned out. There is no right or wrong response to Reiki.

We will also leave at least a few minutes at the end to discuss anything that you noticed during the session. Many people note they feel similarly as when receiving a very relaxing massage after a Reiki session.

How often should I receive Reiki?

Again, there’s no right or wrong way to receive Reiki. You might receive it once and feel complete. Or, you may want to receive Reiki on a weekly or monthly basis.

I encourage you to assess the entirety of your healing resources and decide where you’d like Reiki to fall in that.

For example, some go to weekly therapy, monthly massages, or daily support groups — trust your intuition and follow its guidance. If you’re at a total loss, let’s discuss!

And of course, note that Reiki can only be used to supplement, never take the place of, medical intervention.

Can I learn Reiki?

You can! Katie offers occasional group trainings in the various Reiki levels. If you’re ready now, feel free to do my self-paced training. You’ll receive the materials to read at your own pace, a quiz to assess integration, and then we’ll meet for an in-person or virtual 1:1 session to go over questions, and give you your attunement. 

Where is your office?

For Reiki, Katie sees clients out of her home. Give a call or email to inquire about current availability.

Otherwise, distance/virtual Reiki is available — we can do the sessions on Zoom, over the phone, or even simultaneously without necessarily being on a call together.
