Frequently Asked Questions

DOES INSURANCE COVER REIKI TREATMENTS?
Reiki is just starting to be recognized by insurance companies. While not many are covering Reiki treatments, some are. Check with your local insurance company for details.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I BOOK A TREATMENT?
There is no minimum commitment when booking a reiki session. However you may find an initial concentrated period of three or four sessions over the first few weeks will help to remove deep-rooted blocks in your energy system. Thereafter, once a week or once every two weeks is recommended, until the issue has resolved. Usually a subtle improvement is noticed even after the first session. It may take five to six visits to notice a marked improvement. Once the initial issue has resolved, most people like to have a Reiki session every 4-6 week, as part of their wellness regime.

CAN I BOOK A BLOCK OF SESSIONS?
After your initial session you may wish to book a block of sessions to achieve the maximum results, and for ongoing maintenance of persisting issues for you or your horse. Please get in touch with me to discuss a treatment plan that works best for you.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR DISTANCE REIKI?
You may wish to make sure you have a good night's rest the night before your session and avoid consuming alcohol so that your treatment can work on deeper healing. Wear loose, comfortable clothing and choose a place where you feel relaxed.

HOW MIGHT I FEEL DURING A DISTANCE REIKI SESSION?
You should feel the same as an in-person reiki treatment. You may feel deeply relaxed or you may feel tingling sensations all over your body. You any become aware of colours and shapes around you.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTERWARDS?
I will make contact to check how you are feeling after your session, either by phone or by WhatsApp.

IS REIKI SAFE FOR HORSES?
Reiki is a complimentary therapy and works well alongside veterinary medicine to aid the outcome and recovery from existing conditions. Prior to your treatment you should inform me of any issues relating to the health of your horse and you may also wish to inform your vet. If you horse is currently undergoing veterinary treatment you must gain approval from them before the session.

HOW SHOULD I PREPARE MY HORSE?
Allow your horse access to plenty of water before and after the session. I recommend that you walk your horse for about 5 minutes beforehand. Please remove any fly masks, boots, and blankets prior to the session. Depending on the time of year a fly spray may be beneficial. You need not refrain from walking or riding your horse prior to a reiki treatment.

HOW MIGHT MY HORSE RESPOND TO A REIKI SESSION?
Typically, horses of all types respond really well to receiving reiki and do seem to enjoy it, especially if it's on their terms. All horses can benefit from a reiki treatment, regardless of age or current health condition. Your horse might be tired after a treatment and want to lie down, or they may get an energy boost and want to run around. Both responses are normal. Provide plenty of fresh water and feed and refrain from subjecting them to any strenuous activity of a day or so after.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A REIKI SESSION?
During your treatment I will manage the energy flow from my hands into your body. This is usually lying down on the massage table but you may feel more comfortable seated or even standing. You will remain fully clothed and I will place my hands on or near your body in a series of hand positions. These include positions around the head and shoulders, the stomach, and feet. Other, more specific positions may be used based on the clients needs. Each position is held for three to ten minutes depending your particular requirements. The whole treatment usually lasts between 45 and 90 minutes.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS OF REIKI?
Most of the time a person will feel relaxed and uplifted by a Reiki treatment. However, sometimes toxins that have been stored in the body will be released into the blood stream to be filtered by the liver and kidneys and removed from the system. If this happens, you may get a headache or stomach ache or feel weak. If this happens, it is a good idea to drink more water, eat lighter meals and get more rest. The body is cleansing as part of the healing process so this is a good sign.

WILL REIKI INTERFERE WITH EXISTING MEDICAL TREATMENT?
No - reiki is a complimentary treatment which aims to enhance any existing medical treatments and remedy's. It can be used to help recover from medical procedures and help minimise the side effects from surgery, medical treatments and stress. It is important that you inform me of any medical condition and ongoing issues prior to your treatment so we can discuss how this may impact your treatment.
