Frequently Asked Questions

Believe it or not, distance Reiki healing has been around for over 100 years. Reiki is "the energy of the universe" and therefore is in us and all around us. It transcends time and space and you do not need to be in the same physical location as the other individual for it to be effective. Reiki flows from the practitioner to the client whether on screen or in person.

Regardless of a session being online or in person it typically starts out with some conversation to discuss any concerns and/or the reason why you're seeking treatment. I then encourage my clients to lay down and get comfortable, under a blanket if they choose. Clients remain fully clothed for Reiki sessions. Some relaxing music is played during the session and in person I will usually use a cloth to cover the eyes and encourage further relaxation and connection with the treatment. At times, I incorporate crystals and essential oils depending on the client's preference. You will feel my hands touching your body lightly or hovering over specific areas throughout the treatment. When virtual, my hands are still encouraging the flow of Reiki energy.

No problem! People seek out Nutrition Coaching for various reasons, not all of which have to do with losing weight.
