HOW DO I KNOW REIKI WILL WORK ON ME?
Reiki is safe and gentle and can activate the parasympathetic nervous system to assist in healing the body and mind. Reiki is believed to aid recovery from medical treatments and operations. It may ease aches and pains as it can be used as a non-invasive "complementary" therapy. It manifests differently in everyone. Some studies have been done, if you would like to dive a little deeper, have a read of this article written by David E. McManus, PhD, Australasian Usui Reiki Association: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5871310/
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY FIRST TREATMENT?
Wear comfortable clothes and have an open mind.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM MY FIRST SESSION?
You will make yourself comfortable, fully clothed minus shoes, on our massage table. Quiet music will play in the background and you will sense the subtle aromatic fragrances from the diffuser. Of course, if you prefer silence or can't stand the aromas, you can opt out for those! :-)
I will then place my hands on different parts on your body. If you prefer not to be touched, my hands will hover just above. I will stay clear of private parts and sensitive areas. The session will be held in silence, to help you relax and unwind.
You might feel heat, tingling, vibrations or nothing at all. I will balance your energy and you will walk away either deeply relaxed or experience a boost in energy. However, your body will take what it needs and the energy will go were it is needed. If you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them after or before your session.
