Frequently Asked Questions — Reiki Therapy
What is Reiki Therapy?
Reiki Therapy is a gentle energy-healing practice that aims to restore balance and promote relaxation by working with the body’s natural energy fields. Sessions are designed to support stress relief, emotional well-being, and overall balance of mind and body.
What happens during a Reiki session?
During a session, you typically lie or sit comfortably, fully clothed. The practitioner lightly positions their hands near or on the body’s energy-centers or meridians. The experience is generally calming and non-invasive, intended to support relaxation, reduce tension, and encourage natural healing.
Who can benefit from Reiki Therapy?
Reiki may benefit people dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep difficulties, emotional imbalances, fatigue, or a general sense of being “out of balance.” It is often used as a complementary therapy alongside conventional or naturopathic care to enhance overall wellbeing.
How many sessions will I need, and how often?
The number of sessions varies depending on your personal needs, stress levels, and how you respond to energy healing. Some people notice benefits after one session, while others find ongoing sessions helpful — for example, once a month or as needed to support stress management and emotional balance.
Is Reiki Therapy safe? Are there side effects?
Reiki is widely regarded as gentle and safe for most individuals. Because it is non-invasive and does not involve medication or physical manipulation, adverse effects are rare. Some people may feel deeply relaxed or tired after a session — these are common responses as the body recalibrates.
Can Reiki Therapy be combined with other treatments?
Yes — Reiki works well as a complementary therapy alongside naturopathic treatments, lifestyle changes, nutritional support, or other wellness practices. Many clients find that combining modalities enhances their overall healing and supports long-term balance.
What should I do before and after a Reiki session?
Before a session, plan for some quiet time and wear comfortable clothing. After the session, allow yourself a period of rest or calm, stay hydrated, and give your body time to integrate any subtle changes. It can be helpful to notice how you feel over the next 24–48 hours, especially in terms of stress, mood, energy, or sleep.
How do I know if Reiki Therapy is right for me?
Reiki can be a good choice if you’re seeking gentle, holistic support for stress, emotional well-being, or general balance rather than seeking a specific physical cure. If you are open to subtle healing, relaxation, and complementary wellness — Reiki may complement other health strategies well.
