Frequently Asked Questions
About the Services
What is Reiki and how does it work?
Reiki is a gentle yet powerful energy healing practice that works by channeling universal life force energy to bring your body, mind, and spirit back into balance. As a practitioner, I act as a conduit for this healing energy, allowing it to flow where it’s needed most—supporting deep relaxation, releasing tension, and activating your body’s innate healing abilities. Many clients describe it as a sense of peace, warmth, or gentle waves moving through them.
What is Shamanic Reiki, and how is it different from traditional Reiki?
Shamanic Reiki is a channeled series of Divine Guidance uniting planetary influence and Reiki attunements to create lasting transformation.
Unlike traditional Reiki, Shamanic Reiki invites you into partnership with the kingdoms of Rocks, Plants, and Animals…each awaiting your cooperation and connection. Through guided practices, soul retrieval, and energetic extractions, this work opens a multidimensional experience that weaves together spiritual insight, deep energy shifts, and earth-based healing.
The planetary need for stabilization calls you…and your life experiences…into a higher vibration. By engaging in this work, you are not only activating your own unique potential, but also contributing to the development of the Global Community of Light Workers.
Shamanic Reiki is both personal and collective: a healing practice that connects you to earth, spirit, and self, becoming a powerful thread in your journey of wholeness.
What are sound baths, and what can I expect during a session?
A sound bath is a meditative experience where you are “bathed” in healing sound vibrations from instruments like crystal singing bowls, gongs, and chimes. These frequencies help relax the nervous system, release stagnant energy, and bring your body into harmony. You simply lie back, close your eyes, and let the sound guide you into a restorative state—many describe feeling deeply relaxed, peaceful, and renewed.
What is HeartMath® and how is it incorporated into a session?
HeartMath® is a science-backed method for regulating your heart rhythm and nervous system, reducing stress, and increasing emotional balance. I may guide you through breath and focus techniques before or during a session to help you enter a calm, coherent state—making your energy healing even more powerful and lasting.
How are your yoga offerings integrated with energy healing?
Yoga sessions are designed to gently open and balance the body, preparing you to receive energy work more fully. They may include mindful movement, breathwork, and meditation—sometimes followed by Reiki, sound, or tuning fork work for a deeply integrated experience.
Do you offer virtual sessions or are all appointments in person?
Yes, I offer both in-person and virtual sessions. Reiki, Coaching, Yoga, Somatic Breathwork, and Meditation Guidance can all be experienced beautifully from a distance.
In-person sessions are available at my peaceful Chesterland studio, offering an immersive, grounding environment for your healing journey.
Before the Session
How should I prepare for my session?
Come hydrated, in comfortable clothing, and with an open mind. You may wish to set an intention or reflect on what you’d like support with, but it’s also perfectly fine to simply arrive and allow the session to unfold.
What’s the difference between hands-on and hands-off Reiki? Can I choose?
Hands-on Reiki involves light touch in specific areas (never intrusive or inappropriate), while hands-off Reiki works entirely in your energy field without touch. You can choose your preference before the session.
Will I be fully clothed during my session?
Yes. You remain fully clothed and may be covered with a blanket for comfort.
Do I need to have experience with energy work to benefit from a session?
Not at all. Whether this is your first time or your hundredth, Reiki and Sound Healing Therapy meet you exactly where you are.
What types of concerns or issues can energy healing support?
Energy healing can help with stress relief, physical discomfort, emotional processing, spiritual connection, sleep issues, creativity, and overall well-being. It is not a replacement for medical care but a beautiful complement to it.
How do I know which service is right for me?
If you’re unsure, we can talk through your needs and intentions before booking. Many clients start with a Reiki session.
During the Session
What does a typical Reiki or sound session feel like?
Everyone experiences it differently—warmth, tingling, lightness, emotional release, or simply deep rest. Some feel as though time disappears.
What happens if I fall asleep or don’t “feel” anything?
It’s completely fine. Reiki and sound work on a cellular and energetic level whether you feel it in the moment or not. Many people still notice shifts later.
Can I request feedback or share my intentions during the session?
Yes. I always invite you to share your intentions beforehand and welcome your questions or requests for feedback afterward.
Are there any areas of the body you avoid or ask about beforehand?
Yes, we discuss your preferences and any sensitive areas before starting.
Do you see visions or receive messages during sessions?
Sometimes during sessions, I receive visual impressions or intuitive messages, which I will only share with your permission. Clairvoyance (clear seeing), clairaudience (clear hearing), and claircognizance (clear knowing) may naturally arise and be enhanced in the healing space. These intuitive experiences may come through me, through the client, or sometimes both—always serving as gentle guidance in support of the work.
CERTifications & Education
What training and certifications do you hold?

I also hold a law degree, a foundation that grounds my work in discipline, discernment, and the ability to hold space with both structure and compassion.

What happens in a typical session?
Every session is customized. You may spend time in conversation exploring your desires and challenges, and then integrate practices such as guided meditation, Reiki, sound vibration, or breathwork. Sessions always close with actionable next steps and grounded reflection so you leave feeling clear, supported, and empowered.

Navigating life transitions and decision-making with confidence
