What a session feels like
A full in-person Reiki session is a gentle, hands-on (or hands-just-above) energy practice. You stay fully clothed, lying comfortably, while I work to support your body’s own energetic balance by channeling healing energy, cutting cords, and dissolving energetic blocks. Many people describe a sense of warmth, deep relaxation, or a kind of settling they can’t quite put words to. Sessions typically include intuitive insight alongside the energy work itself, depending on what comes up.
A distance Reiki session is held over video chat (my favorite,) or the phone. You set yourself up comfortably, ideally well-hydrated and with your daily responsibilities set on “do not disturb,” and the session is typically an intuitive counseling format.
How it pairs with bodywork
This work pairs beautifully with a massage or craniosacral session, or it stands entirely on its own as its own session. Please book something longer if you’d like time for both focused energy work and another kind of treatment.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to believe in energy work for it to help?
No particular belief is required, as long as you’re curious, open-minded, and genuinely open to healing. If you feel drawn to a session, you’re probably in the right place. The only time I’ve not seen good results were in sessions in which someone had been “sent in.” There are many excellent healing modalities, please don’t ever feel pressured to come for something that doesn’t really call to you.
What’s the difference between reiki and massage?
Massage works directly with muscle tissue through touch and pressure. Reiki works with the energy at play. A purely reiki session uses very light or no-contact touch. All of my massage sessions include reiki, but in a purely reiki session I have more capacity to focus on the intuition and energy. During a massage, I feel more like a cat making biscuits – the reiki is the purring part, there in a happy way, but I’m mostly paying attention to the physical concerns.
Does distance Reiki actually work the same as in-person?
Yes! The healing energy exists within, but is not limited by, our normal sense of 3-D time and space. Most clients can feel the energy quite clearly at a distance, and the results are the same. Because both in-person and distance sessions are offered, please be sure to choose carefully when scheduling.
What is your Reiki lineage?
I recieved my Usui Reiki attunements up to Reiki Master level from Jennifer Dawn. Jennifer emphasizes direct relationship with the energies themselves, and doesn’t participate in formal certification. If you know her work, you know that she walks the talk, which is the most important thing to me. I don’t emphasize any ritual, symbols or specific cultural elements associated with Reiki because I am wary of orthodoxy, dogma and sectarianism. I believe in practice-based spirituality and constant accountability: even the best pedigree means nothing if we are not caring for and cultivating the connection, and the energy being what it is, I know that many people (and animals) are channeling the same energy by a different name, or no name at all. The important part is that you feel the results of my connection with the energy and that you benefit from it.
Is this confidential?
Yes, the same as any other kind of session.
What should I expect emotionally?
Reactions vary quite a bit – some sessions feel purely relaxing, others bring up something unexpected. Whatever comes up, we create a safe place to feel it, let it pass, and emerge better off. Ideally, of course, let’s do this on a day when you don’t have to go do a bunch of hectic errands right afterwards – you might feel a little sensitive and open afterwards, and need some quiet time to yourself.
