A Thoughtful Start to Your First Session
A welcoming first visit that combines a brief intake with a full Reiki session tailored to your current needs. This session is designed to help you feel informed, supported, and at ease as we begin your care.
How Your First Visit Gently Begins
Your New Client Reiki Session begins with a brief intake designed to clarify what is bringing you in, what kinds of support you are seeking, and any current stressors, symptoms, or areas of concern you would like to address. This opening conversation helps shape the session so the care feels individualized, thoughtful, and relevant to your current season.
From there, you’ll receive a full Reiki session tailored to your needs, followed by space to reflect on what you noticed and ask any questions that come up. If continued support feels helpful, we can also discuss simple next steps so you leave with a clearer sense of direction and care.
In a large effectiveness trial, a single Reiki session was associated with significant improvements in multiple physical and psychological measures, including anxiety, depression, and overall well-being.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions About Your First Reiki Session
Have Questions?
Email us to connect now.
What happens during my first Reiki session?
Your first session begins with a brief intake where we discuss what’s bringing you in, current stressors, and any goals or concerns you’d like to focus on. You’ll then receive a full Reiki treatment, typically lying or sitting comfortably, while I use light or near-body touch to support relaxation and nervous system regulation. We’ll close with a short debrief so you can ask questions and reflect on what you noticed.
How should I prepare for my first session?
Wear comfortable clothing, choose a quiet space where you won’t be interrupted, and try to arrive a few minutes early so you have time to settle. It can be helpful to avoid heavy meals or stimulants right beforehand, but there are no strict requirements. If you’re under medical care, you’re welcome to bring relevant information or questions so we can ensure Reiki is offered as a complementary support.
What might I feel during the session?
Clients commonly report sensations such as warmth, tingling, gentle pulsing, or a sense of heaviness or lightness in the body. Some people feel deeply relaxed or even drift toward sleep; others notice emotional release or increased clarity. There is no “right” way to experience Reiki. Each session is individualized, and it’s also normal to feel only subtle changes during or after the visit.
Is Reiki safe to do with a medical condition?
Reiki is offered as a complementary, non-pharmacologic practice and does not replace medical evaluation or prescribed treatment. Many clients receive Reiki alongside ongoing medical care, mental health support, or other therapies. If you have specific diagnoses or are undergoing procedures, we’ll review them in your intake and adapt the session so it remains appropriate and within a supportive scope.
How will I know if Reiki is helpful for me?
Most people evaluate benefit based on changes in how they feel over time—such as improved ease, better sleep, reduced perceived stress, or a greater sense of steadiness. After your first session, we’ll briefly review your experience and discuss whether trying a short series or occasional follow-up visits feels appropriate. You’re encouraged to notice any shifts in your day-to-day functioning and bring those observations into future sessions.
