Time to pause, settle and simply receive
What Should I Expect During My Reiki Session

A Calm Beginning
Every Reiki session is individual and shaped around you and what you need on the day. Drawing on over 10 years of experience as a Reiki practitioner, I allow each session to unfold naturally, adapting the session to you rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
​
There is no pressure to feel, experience or achieve anything during your session. Your only role is to make yourself comfortable, relax and allow yourself some time away from the demands of everyday life.
​
Arrival & Intention
We begin with a conversation about how you have been feeling, anything that has been happening for you and what you would most like support with.
​
Together, we can set a gentle intention for your session. This might be relaxation, emotional balance, grounding, clarity, feeling more settled, or simply giving yourself some much-needed time to pause.
​
If it is your first appointment, I allow a little longer so that we have plenty of time to talk beforehand and you never feel rushed.
​
Settling Into Stillness
You remain fully clothed and lie comfortably on the treatment table, with blankets and cushions available if needed.
​
Once you are settled, I gently guide you through a grounding visualisation, giving you time to slow down, become present and ease into the session.
​
There is nothing you need to do from this point onwards. You can simply close your eyes, relax and receive.
​
Preparing Your Energy
Before beginning the Reiki session, I gently work around your energy field to create a calm and settled space for the session.
​
I may use intuitive energy-clearing techniques alongside the practices that naturally form part of the way I work.
​
Everything is offered gently and with the intention of supporting a peaceful, grounded session experience.
​
Gentle Sound Support
Tuning forks are also incorporated into my Reiki sessions.
​
Their soft vibration is used around the energy field and over the chakras (energy centres), complementing the Reiki session and helping to create a deeply calming sensory experience.
​
You do not need to concentrate on the sound or do anything in response to it. Simply allow yourself to relax and experience it in whatever way feels natural to you.
​
The Reiki Session
During the session, I work with gentle touch or with my hands held slightly above the body, depending on what feels appropriate and comfortable for you.
​
Reiki is then offered intuitively throughout the session, with time given to different areas and energy centres as needed.
​
You may notice warmth, coolness, tingling, gentle sensations, colours, imagery or a deep sense of relaxation. You may fall asleep. You may also feel very little physically.
​
All of these experiences are completely okay.
​
Focused Intention and Intuitive Energy Work
Every Reiki session is unique, and over the years I have developed an intuitive approach that brings together traditional Reiki techniques with other forms of energy work.
​
Alongside hands-on and hands-off Reiki, I may incorporate focused intention and healing visualisation, gently directing my awareness towards particular areas of the body that may benefit from additional attention.
​
These techniques are woven naturally into my sessions, allowing me to respond intuitively to each person's individual needs while creating a calm, supportive space for relaxation, balance and emotional wellbeing.
​
If You Don't Feel Anything
You do not need to experience obvious sensations for your Reiki session to be meaningful.
​
Some people notice a great deal during their session while others simply feel peaceful or deeply relaxed. Your experience can also be completely different from one appointment to the next.
​
There is no “right” way to experience Reiki.
​
Intuitive Guidance & Insight
At times, I may become aware of an impression, image, word or intuitive insight during a Reiki session. This doesn't happen in every session and isn't something I actively seek or expect.
​
If something does arise that feels relevant or supportive, I may share it with you afterwards. You are always free to take from this what resonates with you and leave anything that doesn't.
​
The focus always remains on Reiki and creating a calm, supportive space for your own experience.
​
Completing Your Session
Towards the end of your session, I gently bring the session to a close.
​
Tuning forks may be used again as part of this closing process, before giving you a few quiet moments to become fully aware of your surroundings and return at your own pace.
​
There is never any need to rush up from the treatment table.
​
After Your Session
Once you are ready, we have a little time to talk about your experience and anything either of us noticed during the session.
​
Some people leave feeling deeply relaxed, lighter or more settled, while others simply notice that they have enjoyed having an hour where nothing was expected of them.
​
You may find it helpful to drink some water, rest if you feel tired and take the remainder of the day gently where possible.
​
Your experience is personal to you, and there is no particular way you should feel afterwards.
​
A Space to Receive
Above all, your Reiki session is your time.
​
A space where you do not need to fix anything, perform, explain yourself or have all the answers.
​
You can simply arrive as you are, settle into the experience and allow yourself to receive.
​
I look forward to welcoming you.
