FAQs
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" (for a remote session this is done on a proxy) through which "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words - Rei which means "God's Wisdom or the Higher Power" and Ki which is "life force energy". So Reiki is actually "spiritually guided life force energy."
What does a Reiki session feel like?
During a remote session we schedule a time when you can lie down and be uninterrupted for about an hour and you want to be hydrated the day of the session and the day after.
A treatment can feel different and unique to each person. It is often described like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit and can create many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Some people may feel emotions come up and that is ok, just feel them and release them. How you feel during and after the session is unique for each person and depends on what you need. Reiki always flows exactly where it is needed within you and in your energy field. Some of the feelings can include feeling really light, relaxed, emotional, sore, tingling sensations, warmth. If you are releasing something you may feel emotional or even physically sore for a day or two.
​
Once the session is completed, I email you a report with a summary of what was addressed and any messages that may have come through.

Is Reiki a religion?
While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it is not a religion. It has no dogma, and there is nothing you must believe in order to learn and use Reiki. In fact, Reiki is not dependent on belief at all and will work whether you believe in it or not. Because Reiki originates from the Infinite Intelligence, many people find that using Reiki puts them more in touch with the experience of their religion rather than having only an intellectual concept of it.
While Reiki is not a religion, it is still important to live and act in a way that promotes harmony with others. Mikao Usui, the founder of the Reiki system of natural healing, recommended that one practice certain simple ethical ideals to promote peace and harmony, which are nearly universal across all cultures.
Do I need to prepare for my session? And what should I expect after the session?
You do not need to prepare for your session. You just want to make sure you are able to be in a space where you are uninterrupted and can lie down. Reiki will still work if you are not lying down or if you are interrupted but for the best experience you will want to be in that state.
You can sage your room in advance and just make it as comfortable as you'd like so that you can fully relax, but this is not necessary.
Staying well hydrated before and after the session is strongly recommended.

What is Emotion Code?
Emotion Code is an energy healing method to identify, and release trapped emotions. It is a non-invasive, gentle technique where you don't have to talk about the events that caused the trapped emotions.
To identify the trapped emotions for you, I connect with your subconscious mind and use a pendulum to find which emotion is trapped.
To release the trapped emotions, I use a magnet which I roll over my governing meridian. Through the energetic connection that I have made with you, the emotion is then released for you. During the release I hold the intention of releasing the emotion for you.
​
What is a trapped emotion?
Emotions become trapped when we experience a strong emotion but don't process it completely at that time. They then are spots of energy that are trapped in your energy field and/or body which can keep you from living a peaceful and happy life. They can also be described as our emotional baggage that we carry with us, and which often influences how we behave, react and live our lives.
​
Trapped emotions can limit your ability to feel love and happiness and attain success. Trapped emotions can contribute to chronic and unexplained health problems and behavioral patterns.
​
Most people have thousands of trapped emotions, and each trapped emotion has its own vibrational frequency. I also offer packages to help work through trauma and/or big emotional events.
What can I expect during and after an Emotion Code session?
During an emotion code session, you may feel nothing or you may feel the release of the emotion, a feeling of lightness. What you feel will be unique for each person.
​
After an emotion code session as you go through the release of the trapped emotions you may feel off for a day or a few days, this is the healing period. I will tell you after the session how many days it will take you to release the emotions. During the release you may experience the emotion(s) again as they are leaving your energy field and body but you will not feel them as strongly as the initial emotion. Many people experience no symptoms during the healing period.
The average person will have thousands of trapped emotions. During a session we can address a specific area in your life you'd like to work on or just ask the subconscious to identify what needs to be released first.
What is a heart wall?
Your heart is possibly the most important part of your body, and closely connected to our brain.
When we experience trauma, our subconscious mind will often take these trapped emotions and build an energetic wall around our heart to protect the heart from too much damage. The heart wall is made up of trapped emotions.
During an Emotion Code session, we can specifically check for a heart wall and release it by releasing one emotion at a time. Generally, it will take 3 to 5 session to clear a heart wall.
How many Emotion Code sessions do I need?
The number of sessions needed can vary greatly per person and the issue that is being addressed. Most people have thousands of trapped emotions, children will normally have less trapped emotions unless they have experienced a lot of trauma.
​
I also offer packages to help work through trauma and/or big emotional events.
How many Reiki Sessions do I need?
The number of sessions needed can vary greatly per person and the issue that is being addressed. Most people find that a session every two weeks or once a month is ideal for them to remain in a balanced state. Others schedule a session once every six months. Usually, you will intuitively know when you want or need another session.
​
I also offer packages for those you like to have regular sessions.
Can Emotion Code or Reiki be used for children, teenagers, and/or pets?
