FAQ's

Reiki is an energy healing method developed by Dr. Mikao Usui in the 1920's, whereby Masters of the practice receive and bestow sacred energetic attunements onto their students. 

Through this process the student receives the ability for their energy field to open up to channel Universal Life Force energy. Once initiated, a lifelong connection to the Reiki energy source is established. The student receives a framework of Reiki Principles that serve as a guide for spiritual growth and development.

A Reiki session involves transferring Universal Life Force energy from the practitioner to the client, with hands placed on or above specific body locations. Symbols passed down through the Reiki lineage hold sacred geometrical healing frequency codes, and are used as vehicles of intention during treatment. This is done by the practitioner visualising or drawing the Reiki symbols throughout the session to assist the healing process. 

Healing with Reiki is a gentle, powerful form of energy work that can provide relief, relaxation, balancing of the chakras and aura energy, clearing of energetic blockages, releasing energetic cords, and can help to restore healthy functioning of the biofield.

A Crystal Awakening Healing guides the experience of the loving, powerful energies of crystals and how they can assist people in activating the wisdom of their heart and soul as they experience their own divinity. 

It helps to awaken and develop individual healing powers, tapping into intuition, creativity, inspiration, the higher self and the heart, engaging the healing energy that lies within.

By working with the specific frequencies of different crystals, and attuning them to the energy centres on and around the body, they can have a great impact on the vitality and well-being of the physical and energetic bodies.

Wear comfortable clothes and hairstyles to be able to fully relax on the treatment bed. 

All sessions are fully clothed and blankets are available for added comfort.

It can be, but our approach is to direct energy through the hands in positions above the body. 

The session is in most part a 'hands off' healing, but can include placing crystals on and around the body, and some light therapeutic touch. 

We respect your preference to exclude the latter. Please let your therapist know what feels comfortable for you.

Depending on the individual, some people can experience visions, seeing colours, unlocking memories, feeling sensations of hot or cold, or receiving messages from their guides.

Others may feel deeply relaxed, calm and peaceful, or it is possible to feel nothing at all.

The healing will affect everyone differently according to what is needed for the individual. 

However your experience unfolds it is worth knowing that the energy channeled works for the highest good, is safe and does not cause harm.

A session includes a welcoming smoke cleanse and can include calming aromatherapy.

Alternatively, cleansing can be done through sound therapy, with singing bowls or by medicine drum.

Please let your therapist know if you prefer to avoid certain essential oils, herbs or incenses.

Just an open mind, the intention to relax and some water for hydration.

Absolutely! Having something in your stomach to help ground you is ideal, but we recommend only having a light meal beforehand and if possible plant-based is best. 

Eating light will help your body to integrate the healing without focusing a large part of your energy on digestion.

While we love to see your little people, when we're in session we don't have the means to provide the supervision and care they deserve. 

We appreciate this might make it harder to attend your session, but we are happy to discuss alternative times if needed.

Please reach out up to 48 hrs before your session to give us the best chance to find you a suitable time to reschedule.

We are happy to receive everyone for a session from 16 - 116! 

We just ask that anyone under the age of 18 be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is legally authorised to give consent for a minor to attend.

Immediately after receiving energy healing it is important to ground back into the body by eating something light (preferably plant based) and drinking plenty of water.

Before your session concludes, your practitioner will make sure you have had time to come back into your awareness, feeling awake and ready to continue on with your plans.

It is advised to ease into the rest of your day, avoiding strenuous exercises at the gym or taking on activities where you need to overly exert yourself. Take the hours after your session as an opportunity to relax and integrate your healing. Go for a walk, take a bath, sit in meditation, and if possible, try to get a good night of rest!

Your session may bring up a lot of different feelings for you, or you may feel nothing at all... this is a normal part of your healing, as some sessions include work done at an energetic level that can manifest as a physical release in the body.

You may experience increased sensitivity, or become overly emotional. You might feel upset in the stomach, have an increased or decreased frequency of using the bathroom, or it is possible to experience headaches, restlessness and disturbed sleep. These ailments can be common and should subside, however, monitoring your symptoms, being gentle with yourself, and staying hydrated are important.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact your practitioner or contact us via the contact form to discuss anything you may be going through.
