Distance Reiki

What is Distance Reiki?

Reiki is an energy therapy available to help assist in bringing balance to the body, mind and spirit. From this balanced state, we create health in all aspects of our lives. Recent research shows us that distance Reiki has demonstrated significant outcomes including decreased stress and anxiety, increased well- being, increased sleep quality, decreased pain, and noted transformative experiences.* Distance Reiki is as effective as in-person therapy because one may connect to another’s energy at any distance.

During a Reiki session, the practitioner acts as the medium or channel for the energy that is then guided to the client through intuitive movements and placements of the hands. (This energy is often felt as a sense of peace, comfort, calmness, release, or clarity.)

A special note on PETS:

These same experiences apply to animals. According to the American Kennel Club, Reiki is being used in a number of ways including anxiety and stress relief, coping with illness, surgery recovery, end of life care, bonding and quality time, and increasing confidence in animals with past trauma.**

Distance Reiki Advantages

  • No travel

  • No need to “get ready” #ReikiinyourPJ’s

  • Beneficial for those unlikely to be able to attend an in-person session (pets, children, hospital/ hospice patients, etc.)

  • Multiple options of communication to choose from: see below

Meeting/Communication Options for Distance Reiki Sessions

Option 1 — ZOOM MEETING

Please choose the Zoom option if you prefer face to face meetings. You will be able to communicate throughout the session, however; the camera will be turned off during the Reiki portion of the session. This gives the practitioner the ability to focus on the client, and the client the ability to go within, relax, and open to receive the energy.

Option 2 — PHONE CALL

Please choose the phone call option if you do not prefer a face-to-face interaction but would like to be able to verbally communicate throughout the session. This option is great for those who prefer not to be on camera.

Option 3 — TEXT MESSAGE

Please choose this option if you prefer no visual or verbal contact. (No visual or verbal contact is required to connect to your energy.) You will receive a text when the session begins and ends. Ask questions and discuss over text as needed. Perfect for those who prefer no social contact, “no fuss,” or repeat clients who are familiar with the process.
