The goal of Reiki is to help restore the body’s energy balance and enhance its natural ability to heal itself.  Reiki is beneficial in reducing stress and anxiety, relieving pain, and strengthening the immune system.  Reiki can accelerate the healing process for those who are ill, under medical treatment, and/or in the recovery stages.  Reiki is effective in assisting with pain management both pre and post surgeries, and for those with cancer or other health conditions.  Reiki is especially appreciated in hospice care due to its ability to alleviate pain and anxiety for both patients and family members. 
If your health is already well maintained and stress-free, experiencing a Reiki treatment will leave you feeling more peaceful and relaxed.
Since each person’s needs are very unique, the benefits received from a Reiki session will differ between individuals.  Even returning clients can expect each session to feel differently based on the type of healing required at any given time.

Yes, Reiki is safe and gentle for all since a practitioner does not manipulate, diagnose nor prescribe medication.  There are no lotions or oils used, and disrobing is never required.

There are 7 key energy centers in the human body called "Chakras".  The word "chakra" is derived from the Sanskrit word meaning "wheel". If one could see a chakra, one would see a wheel of energy continuously revolving or rotating. Each chakra has a color related to it, and is associated with different spiritual and physical functions. 
Many people experience physical ailments or conditions because their charkas are imbalanced or have blockages that are restricting the free flow of the body's energy.  During a Reiki session, one’s chakras are individually balanced by the energy flowing through my hands, allowing for the release of blocked energies, thereby restoring balance.

To receive Reiki, most people lie on a table fully clothed, so wearing comfortable clothing is recommended.  Little to no pressure is applied and no oils are used.  The technique is so adaptable that you can receive it in almost any setting, in a chair or hospital bed, and through casts and bandages.
Most people experience deep relaxation.  One may also feel tingling, pulsing, a feeling of warmth and comfort, or may fall asleep.  Some individuals feel little during a session, but afterwards enjoy a sense of calmness and well-being, and a deep, restful sleep.  It is possible that you could experience powerful sensations or emotions during or after a session.  Please drink plenty of water after your Reiki session.  Water filters and cleanses your body, and will help to flush and releases toxins from your system. The cleansing and clearing process is a positive one!

The best way to know how Reiki works and how it feels is to experience a treatment.  It is an individualized, positive experience for each recipient. 

The number of sessions required for treatment is dependent on what an individual’s needs are at the time.  It usually takes up to 3 one hour sessions for most to begin with and more for those with more serious needs.
