Question 1

What is Reiki and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Reiki is a gentle, complementary wellness practice that originated in Japan. It involves light touch or hands held just above the body, with the intention of supporting relaxation, grounding and overall well-being.At The Intuitive Nurse, Reiki is offered as part of a broader, person-centred approach that may also incorporate grounding, nervous system regulation, embodiment and intuitive practices depending on what feels supportive for you.You don’t need to believe in anything specific or have experience with Reiki to receive a session. You can simply come as you are.

Question 2

What should I expect during my first session?

Accepted Answer

Your first session begins with a brief conversation about what brought you in, how you’re feeling and what kind of support you’re looking for.During Reiki, you’ll remain fully clothed and comfortable, usually lying on a treatment table. I may use light touch or hold my hands just above the body, depending on your comfort and preference.Your session may also include grounding, breathwork, body awareness or intuitive practices where appropriate. There’s nothing you need to “do” during the session - this is your time to slow down, settle in and receive support.

Question 3

Do I need to do anything to prepare?

Accepted Answer

Very little preparation is needed. Wear comfortable clothing and, if possible, give yourself a little breathing room before and after your appointment rather than rushing from one thing to the next.You’re welcome to arrive with something specific you’d like support with, but you don’t need to have anything figured out beforehand. Sometimes “I’ve been feeling off and I’m not sure why” is more than enough of a starting point.Come as you are. We can begin there.

Question 4

How might I feel after a session?

Accepted Answer

Everyone’s experience is different. You may leave feeling deeply relaxed, lighter, more grounded or simply a little quieter inside. You may also notice increased awareness of emotions, thoughts or physical sensations as you reconnect with yourself.There is no “right” way to feel after Reiki, and dramatic sensations or experiences aren’t required for a session to be meaningful.Give yourself some time to integrate afterward, stay hydrated and pay attention to what you notice without feeling like you need to analyze everything.
