Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ

How much does a treatment session cost?

Upon booking your appointment, we will discuss the scope of what type of services you are seeking and set the rate in advance.

Are therapy/counseling and reiki sessions in person or virtual?

Either. Whichever works for you and also depending on where you are located.

How can a therapy/counseling session help me?

We will first discuss why you have decided to start counseling/therapy. Then we will discuss what you hope to accomplish in our sessions. We go from there with a plan.

What will we discuss?

That is completely up to you.

Do you prescribe medication?

I do not.

How long does therapy take?

I encourage a hour long session every week or every other week.

How do I pay for sessions?

You pay when you book your session. You can pay with all major credit cards, cash, Venmo, or PayPal. If you cancel less than 24 hours prior to your appointment, you will be charged.

Do you accept insurance?

I do not.

Is my therapy confidential?

Yes, however, I may ask you allow me to share parts of your story to help others achieve results but I would never use your name or details that would reveal your identity.

What is Reiki?

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." - William Lee Rand (2021)

How is a Reiki treatment given?

In a standard treatment Reiki energy flows from the practitioner’s hands into the client. The client is usually laying on a massage table. The client remains fully clothed. The practitioner places her/his hands on or near the client’s body in a series of hand positions. These include positions around the head and shoulders, the stomach, and feet. The treatment may be done in person or remotely.

Are there any side effects from a Reiki treatment?

Most of the time a person will feel relaxed and uplifted by a Reiki treatment. However, sometimes a person will have what is called a healing crisis. When this happens, sometimes a person can 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.
