Frequently Asked Questions
Who Benefits From Reiki?
Reiki is a beautiful and gentle complimentary therapy that is useful for anyone of all ages and backgrounds.
A great benefit to Reiki is that it does not require the client to talk about or disclose their personal situation, creating a safe environment free of judgement and ensures client privacy.
​Reiki can be helpful if you are suffering from an acute or chronic illness or injury, feeling "off" or disconnected, lacking in energy or focus, experiencing emotional upsets, or going through a disruptive life change.
Everyone's reasons for seeking out Reiki are individual and personal.
​
**if you would like to book a Reiki session for someone under 18 years old, an adult parent/guardian must remain on the premises for the duration of the appointment.
What Can I expect from a Reiki Session?
You will be guided to lie in a comfortable position in a massage table and remain fully clothed. You can expect a calm and peaceful environment with gentle music.
The practice begins with a light touch to the soles of the feet and then is mostly hands-off. I may be guided to hold the head or hands/limbs but if you prefer completely hands-off this is entirely possible.
What you experience as the session continues is completely individual. You may experience physical sensations such as tingling, pressure, coughing, or sneezing. You may have a visual experience of seeing colours, shapes, or waveforms. You may experience a deep relaxation or fall completely asleep. You may have a release of held emotions. You may not notice anything at all.
Please trust that all experiences are possible and welcomed and each Reiki session is different for everyone.
Do I need previous yoga experience?
No! The benefit of Private Yoga classes is that no experience in yoga is necessary. You will receive one-on-one support and guidance to practice yoga that is suitable to your abilities and your needs.
