Do I need to believe in Reiki for it to work?
No. Reiki is open to people of all beliefs and backgrounds. Many people simply approach Reiki with curiosity and enjoy the experience as a deeply relaxing and calming practice.
Do I have to remove my clothes?
No. Reiki is performed fully clothed. You simply relax in comfortable clothing while receiving your treatment.
Is Reiki a form of massage?
No. Reiki does not involve massage or manipulation. The practitioner’s hands are placed gently on the body or just above it.
Can Reiki replace medical treatment?
No. Reiki is a complementary therapy and does not replace medical advice, diagnosis, medication, or treatment from qualified healthcare professionals. Many people choose Reiki alongside conventional healthcare as a source of relaxation and emotional support.
Can I have Reiki if I am receiving medical treatment?
Many people receive Reiki alongside medical care. If you have any concerns, please discuss them with your healthcare professional and feel free to contact me before booking.
Should I tell my Doctor?
Reiki is a gentle, complementary therapy that supports the body’s natural healing processes and aligns well with conventional medical or psychological treatment. It is not a substitute for professional medical care but can enhance overall wellness alongside it.
If you are experiencing any health challenges—physical or emotional—it is encouraged to receive Reiki in conjunction with care from a licensed physician or healthcare provider. Please consult your doctor before making any changes to prescribed medication or treatment plans, as those decisions should always be guided by a qualified medical professional.
What if I don’t feel anything during my treatment?
That is completely normal. Some people notice clear sensations, while others simply experience deep relaxation. Every Reiki experience is different.
How quickly will I notice benefits?
Some people feel relaxed immediately after their session, while others notice changes gradually. Reiki is a personal experience, and everyone responds differently.
Is Reiki Right for You?
People come to Reiki for many different reasons. Some are looking for relaxation and stress relief, while others seek support during times of change, illness, emotional difficulty, or simply when life feels overwhelming. Reiki may help you create space for: deep relaxation and calm; reduced feelings of stress and tension; emotional balance and clarity; improved sense of wellbeing; time for yourself and self-care.
How Often Should You Have Reiki?
The frequency of Reiki sessions is entirely personal and depends on your individual needs and what feels right for you. Some people choose: a single session when they need relaxation and support; regular sessions as part of their wellbeing routine; occasional treatments during particularly stressful or challenging periods. There is no fixed schedule. Reiki is always tailored to you.
Choosing a Reiki Practitioner
When choosing a Reiki practitioner, it is important to find someone who makes you feel comfortable, respected, and safe. You may wish to consider their level of Reiki training; their experience working with clients; whether they are insured and professionally registered; their approach to care and communication; whether you feel at ease speaking with them. A good practitioner will always welcome your questions and help you feel comfortable before your first session.
