Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve gathered some of the most common questions I receive about Reiki, Crystal Healing, and Transformational Hypnosis to help you feel more comfortable and confident before booking a session. Whether you’re brand new to energy healing or simply curious about what to expect, you’ll find clear answers here.

Remember — every session is unique because you are unique. If your question isn’t answered here or you’d like more personalized guidance, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m always happy to help you find the clarity and support you need on your healing journey.

Transformational Hypnosis

  • Hypnosis is a natural state of relaxation and focused awareness. It helps bypass the critical mind so your subconscious can more easily take in supportive ideas and insights.

  • Most people describe it as similar to daydreaming or zoning out. You’ll always be aware, in control, and able to remember your experience.

  • Everyone can be, because hypnosis is simply a natural state. Some people go deeper than others, but depth doesn’t determine success.

  • Yes. It’s a natural state of mind your brain already enters throughout the day. There are a few instances where hypnosis would not be recommended but this is very rare. Examples include: individuals who are acutely psychotic, a child under the age of five, or an individual who does not give their permission to participate in the process.

  • No. That’s a stage hypnosis myth. In a therapeutic session, you are always in control—I’m just your guide.

  • Most clients feel relaxed, lighter, and clearer. Many notice improved sleep, a calmer mind, and positive changes in daily life.

  • Yes! Research backs hypnosis as a treatment for physical problems such as pain management, IBS and other gastrointestinal difficulties, as well as a demonstrated effective tool to assist with accomplishing personal goals (i.e. test-taking, sports performance enhancement, confidence and self-esteem building, getting over stage fright and public speaking fears), and habit change (quit smoking, lose weight, etc), and to help us relax (manage stress, overcome fears), as well as to increase intimacy, improve communication, and manage emotions such as anger, depression or anxiety.

Crystal Healing

  • Crystals carry natural vibrational frequencies that interact with your energy field to restore balance and flow.

  • Avoid heavy meals, caffeine, sugar, or alcohol right before your session. Wear something comfortable so you can fully relax.

  • After a brief intake, you’ll lie comfortably while I place crystals on or around your body in a layout tailored to your needs. Most people feel relaxed, peaceful, and sometimes experience tingling, warmth, or emotional release.

  • You’ll relax in your own space while I create an energetic crystal grid on your behalf. Clients often describe the same calming, balancing effects as in-person sessions.

  • Yes! Crystal healing is gentle, non-invasive, and safe for all ages (even pets).

  • Some feel lighter and more relaxed right away. For deeper shifts, a series of sessions may be most supportive.

Reiki

  • Wear comfortable clothing and try to avoid caffeine, sugar, or alcohol for about three hours beforehand. If it’s a distance session, create a quiet, undisturbed space to relax.

  • You’ll lie fully clothed on a massage table while I gently scan your energy and channel Reiki. Many clients feel warmth, tingling, deep relaxation, or even drift into sleep. At the end, we’ll talk about anything you experienced.

  • Sessions are done via Zoom or phone. You’ll relax in your own space while I guide the energy. People often report the same sensations as in-person sessions: peace, warmth, tingling, and deep rest.

  • A Reiki Tune-Up is a quick and focused way to receive healing, support, or energetic alignment for a specific concern or event. Instead of a full session, these short treatments send Reiki energy directly to one request or intention. Tune-Ups are done remotely (not in-person or live over Zoom), and I’ll let you know when the Reiki has been sent. They’re wonderful for both people and pets, as animals often respond beautifully to energy healing.

    Here are a few examples of what a Reiki Tune-Up can support:

    • Physical support if you’re feeling unwell or recovering from an injury

    • Extra energetic boost for an important event, like a job interview or promotion

    • Releasing stress, worry, or heavy emotions

    • Comfort and healing energy around surgery or medical procedures

  • Yes! Reiki is completely safe and has no known medical contraindications. It’s a gentle, non-invasive practice that works with light touch or no touch at all. Because of its subtle and supportive nature, Reiki is safe for anyone—including babies, seniors, and even pets.

  • Many people notice benefits after their first session, though results vary. Shifts can be subtle or profound.

  • That depends on your goals. Some feel satisfied after one, while others benefit from a series. I often suggest three sessions about a week apart to start.
