What to expect during your Reiki session

A Reiki treatment takes places in a relaxing environment where you can allow your mind and body permission to relax. At the beginning of a session I will explain what Reiki is and if you are suffering from any specific aliments. Then you get the opportunity to switch off from the real world for about 50-60 minutes and experience the benefits of Reiki healing for yourself.

During the Reiki treatment you remain fully clothed and lie on a massage table. If you would like I will cover you with a light blanket so you are comfortable and relaxed. I will place my hands over specific parts of your body, usually starting from the head and working towards the feet. I will respect your privacy and personal space during this process. As I use the hand positions you may become aware of sensations (heat, cold, tingling, shivers etc) throughout your body. You may also feel nothing.

This is completely normal, as this is the Reiki energy being absorbed by your body and is going to whatever part of your body that needs it the most.

Reiki usually sends people into a state of deep relaxation (kind of like a meditative state) so you may even fall asleep.

As each individual is unique, I find that each Reiki treatment is very unique as Reiki works on many levels, going to where it's needed.

Reiki energy builds up each time you have a treatment, which is why it is recommended to have 3-5 sessions to kick start your self healing ability.

After the treatment you may feel energized while others feel peaceful and tranquil. Most people notice a difference after their first Reiki treatment, and the benefits of Reiki grows with repeated sessions.

How many Reiki treatments should I have?

I get asked this question a lot. The answer is, “It truly depends” It depends on a number of things.

People receive Reiki for many reasons. Receiving regular Reiki treatments is excellent for self-care and helps you to maintain a holistic balance within your body.

If you choose Reiki as a method of pampering or a "boost" than a Reiki treatment once in a while is sufficient (once a month). If you have a chronic condition and wish to have Reiki treatments with the aim of improving your health, ongoing weekly to bi-weekly treatments are usually encouraged for a period of six to eight weeks.

For conditions like stress, tension, anxiety, sleeplessness and emotional. I’d suggest four treatments over a period of eight weeks; physical stuff can take a little longer. If you are looking for longer term support as you are navigating challenges and changes into your life, I’d suggest bi-weekly or monthly treatments.

The Reiki energy builds up in the system. While the benefits of Reiki may be noticed after one treatment, ongoing Reiki treatments are desirable for long term results. Just like anything the more you do it, the better the results.

My general recommendation is to receive three to five Reiki treatments one to two weeks apart. Once you see yourself improving you can space out treatments to one month or six weeks apart. 

You know your body best.
