What Happens During a Reiki Session?

During a Reiki session you rest fully clothed and comfortable while the practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above your body, channeling gentle energy to help you relax deeply and rebalance. Most people feel warmth, a soft tingling, or profound calm, and a session typically lasts about an hour.

Before the session

We begin with a short, relaxed conversation about how you're feeling and what you'd like to bring into balance — stress, sleep, grief, or simply a need to reset. There's nothing you need to prepare; you stay fully clothed throughout.

During the session

You lie down or sit comfortably and close your eyes. The practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above different points of the body, allowing calm, restorative energy to flow. There's no massage and no pressure — just stillness and gentle support while your nervous system settles.

What it feels like

Experiences vary. Many people feel warmth radiating from the hands, a light tingling, waves of relaxation, or emotional release. Some drift into a dreamlike state or fall asleep. There is no "right" way to experience Reiki.

After the session

We take a few quiet moments to come back, drink some water, and notice how you feel. People often describe feeling lighter, clearer, and more grounded. Reiki can be received in person or at a distance with the same gentle effect.
