Your First Session

What to Expect During Your First Reiki Session

A gentle, unhurried experience designed to help you feel comfortable from the moment you arrive.

  1. Step 01

    A Warm Welcome

    When you arrive, Michelle will welcome you into the healing space and give you a few moments to settle in and become comfortable.

  2. Step 02

    A Brief Personal Conversation

    Before beginning, you will have a private conversation about your intentions, how you have been feeling, and anything you would like Michelle to know. You may also ask questions about the session.

  3. Step 03

    Preparing for Your Session

    You will remain fully clothed and lie comfortably on the Reiki table. Pillows, blankets, and an eye covering may be provided to help you relax.

  4. Step 04

    The Reiki Experience

    Michelle will gently place her hands on or just above different areas of the body. The session is quiet, respectful, and adapted to your comfort level.

  5. Step 05

    Relaxation and Sound

    During the session, you may experience deep relaxation, warmth, tingling, emotional calm, or simply a peaceful sense of rest. Singing bowls or other sound-healing elements may also be incorporated when appropriate.

  6. Step 06

    A Gentle Closing

    At the end of the session, you will be given time to slowly return to the present moment. Michelle may briefly share observations and invite you to describe your experience if you feel comfortable doing so.

  7. Step 07

    After Your Session

    You may be encouraged to drink water, rest, and pay attention to how you feel during the remainder of the day. Every experience is personal, and there is no “right” way to feel after Reiki.

Reiki is a complementary wellness practice intended to support relaxation and personal well-being. It does not replace medical diagnosis, treatment, or care from a licensed healthcare professional.
