FAQ

No. Reiki is a complementary therapy and is not a substitute for medical diagnosis, treatment, or medication. You should continue to follow the advice of your doctor or healthcare professionals and let them know about any complementary therapies you are using if appropriate.

Wear comfortable clothing and try to avoid heavy meals or alcohol beforehand. Aim to arrive a few minutes early so you have time to park your car and are not rushed. You do not need to do anything special spiritually – just come as you are, with an open mind and a willingness to relax.

From personal experience, when my youngest was barely a teen and struggled to get to sleep, a Reiki session would help them relax and sleep through the night.

Clients under 18 are welcome. A parent or guardian must be present throughout the session as a chaperone as well as sign a consent form (PDF download). Please note that for clients under 18, sessions are no-touch. For younger clients, shorter sessions are recommended. Please discuss this when booking; as a guide under 10 years 20 to 30 mins, to 11-13 years 30 to 40 mins, 14-17 years 30 to 45 mins.

I am DBS checked; details can be shared with the parent or guardian on request and verified independently via the Government’s online DBS verification service.

This varies from person to person. Some people feel a noticeable shift after one session, while others benefit from a short series, such as 3–4 sessions, or regular ongoing support (for example fortnightly or monthly). We can talk together about what feels right for you based on your goals and how you respond.

Reiki can sometimes bring emotions to the surface as the body relaxes and begins to release hidden trauma or tension. Reiki can also bring forgotten or deeply suppressed memories to awareness. Some people may feel emotional, sensitive, or even triggered during or after a session, and this is a natural part of the healing process. It is important to remember the practitioner is not the source of these blocks; the practitioner has facilitated the release. For more on emotional response during Reiki please take a look at our blog post on this subject.

After a Reiki session, you may feel deeply relaxed, emotional, energised, or simply “normal”. All of these are valid. I recommend drinking water, avoiding alcohol for the rest of the day, and giving yourself some gentle time to integrate the experience. If anything concerns you after a session, you are always welcome to get in touch.

I offer Reiki as a fully clothed, calming treatment, either hands-on or hands-off according to your preference.

I also offer an optional platonic-touch element for repeat clients who would like to explore safe, consensual comforting touch. This is a separate choice, is entirely non-sexual, and may include agreed contact such as hand-holding, a brief hug or supported cuddling. We will discuss boundaries beforehand, and you can change your mind or ask to stop at any time.

As a thank you to repeat clients, I offer a virtual loyalty card that gives you 25% off each 4th session taken within 12 months.

Personal recommendations are very much appreciated. Your friend will receive 10% off their first session, and once they have attended you will receive 10% off your next session. Please ask your friend to mention your name when they book so I can apply the discount.

Yes. I hold appropriate practitioner insurance for Reiki, massage, spiritual mentoring and other modalities. This is part of my commitment to offering a safe, professional service.

I learned Reiki as part of my own healing and spiritual journey. It helped me navigate challenging times, deepen my self-awareness, and reconnect with a sense of balance and purpose. Sharing Reiki now feels like a natural way to support others on their own paths

I am attuned as a Reiki practitioner in multiple modalities. I prefer to let the energy flow naturally and may intuitively draw on different modalities during your session if and when they are needed.

• Angel Reiki
• Animal Reiki
• Crystal Reiki
• Quantum Reiki
• Usui to Master Level

Yes, in time. I plan to offer attunements and teaching for those who feel called to learn Reiki for themselves or to support others.
