In-Person Reiki 靈氣
Location: 1618 E 1st Street, Loveland CO!
Before a Session
In the days leading up to your Reiki session, it can be helpful to incorporate a warm, soupy diet with plenty of nourishing vegetables. Gentle movement, such as a light yoga practice, can also support your preparation. Click here for a gentle yoga sequence. I also recommend journaling before your session as a way to check in with yourself, explore your intentions, and reflect. Click here for recommended journaling techniques.
On the day of your session, I recommend limiting or avoiding caffeine when possible to help you feel relaxed and comfortable throughout your time on the table. If you regularly consume higher amounts of caffeine or experience irritability when reducing your intake, consider gradually decreasing your consumption 2–3 days before your appointment and/or limiting your intake on the day of your session.
For your first session, please arrive 15 minutes early to complete your intake, disclosure, and waiver forms, enjoy a refreshment, and settle in before your appointment.
For returning sessions, please plan to arrive 5–10 minutes before your scheduled start time. This allows you time to complete any optional follow-up forms and enjoy a refreshment before we begin.
Please arrive wearing comfortable clothing. I recommend bringing layers so you can adjust to your preferred level of warmth throughout the session. You are also welcome to bring a blanket, other personal comfort items, or any questions you may have.
During a Session
A Reiki session can be received while lying comfortably on a massage table. If lying on your back, stomach, or side is uncomfortable or unavailable due to past or present injuries or other health concerns, you are always welcome to receive Reiki while seated in a chair. Additional adjustments can be explored to help ensure your comfort throughout the session.
At the beginning of your session, you’ll have a variety of amenities to choose from, including sound healing, tea, background music, leg pillows, a weighted blanket, and more. [Read more about the amenities offered here.] You are also encouraged to bring any personal comfort items you may wish to have with you, such as cozy clothing, a stuffed animal, favorite crystals, or anything else that helps you feel at ease.
Your session will typically begin with the gentle sounds of crystal singing bowls and a guided meditation to help you settle in and ground yourself in the present moment. You can read more about sound healing here.
Throughout the session, I may hover my hands above your body, gently place them on appropriate areas, or use a combination of both. We will discuss your preferences in greater detail beforehand to ensure you feel comfortable and that your boundaries are respected.
Reiki is understood as Universal Life Force Energy, and it is believed to have its own innate wisdom, flowing where it is most needed. During a session, you may experience a variety of sensations, including tingling, warmth, or coolness. It is also completely okay to cry, laugh, sleep, cough, or experience any other natural response that arises. Some clients have also reported experiencing beautiful visuals, colors, or other unique sensations.
This is a space where you are welcome to soften, let go, and release whatever you feel ready to release. I encourage you to arrive without expectations and remain open to whatever your experience may bring.
Your session will gently close with the return of the crystal singing bowls, followed by the soothing sounds of chimes. Afterward, you will have some quiet time to yourself to rest and process your experience. I will then return with water, and you are welcome to share anything from your session that you feel called to express. There is no expectation to share; this time is yours.
After a Session
Clients have reported a variety of experiences following Reiki sessions, including a greater sense of clarity, more vibrant colors, changes in pain levels, emotional relief, psychedelic-like visuals, and a sense of release from grief. Some clients have described their pain decreasing significantly or even disappearing entirely.
Every session and every individual's experience is unique. Outcomes cannot be predicted, and there is no right or wrong way to experience Reiki. Reiki is believed to have its own innate wisdom, flowing where it is needed rather than where it is expected. Your experience may be subtle, profound, or somewhere in between.
After your session, I encourage you to take some time for yourself. Stay hydrated, move gently, and allow yourself space to rest and reflect. Grounding practices, such as mindful breathing or connecting with nature, can be supportive during this time.
Journaling after your session is also encouraged. This can be a meaningful way to process your experience, reflect on any emotions or sensations that arose, and document your personal journey over time.
Above all, give yourself permission to move gently and honor whatever you may be experiencing.
