Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese technique that nurtures stress reduction and relaxation while promoting energy healing. Natalie is a Certified Practitioner trained in Usui/Holy Fire Reiki which is based on the laying of hands on the body to allow the life force energy to flow through to encourage emotional, physical, mental and spiritual healing. This can be done at a distance (virtual) or in person.

2. What does Reiki feel like?

Experiences vary, but many people report deep relaxation, warmth, tingling sensations, and/or emotional releases. Some enter a meditative state or even fall asleep—your body will respond in the way it needs to. Allow yourself to receive what’s needed.

3. Do I need to do anything to prepare?

There are a couple of things Natalie recommends to help make the most of your session:
- Journal: write down what you would like to address and heal in your session. This helps you be clear of your intentions.
- Meals: Do your best to limit sweets prior and avoid having a full stomach. Staying hydrated before and after can enhance the experience.
- Clothing: Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to relax fully. You’ll remain fully clothed throughout the session, so comfort is key.
If this is your FIRST Reiki Session with Natalie, please see FAQ #10 below for the required forms.

5. How will I feel after a session?

Most people feel calm, refreshed, and lighter. Some experience an emotional release, while others feel deeply energized. Drinking water and resting afterward can help integrate the healing effects.
The energy of the session can be felt for a few hours to a few days afterwards. This is a good time to continue your healing process by ensuring you eat lightly and you are encouraged to journal or meditate on your experience in an effort to deepen your awareness and healing.

6. Is Reiki a religious or spiritual practice?

Reiki is not tied to any specific religion. It is a holistic healing practice that promotes balance and relaxation. You can approach it from a spiritual or purely wellness perspective. If you have personal beliefs you'd like considered during your session, feel free to share them.

10. For my FIRST Reiki session, what is required?
