In a standard session Reiki energy flows from the practitioners hands into the client. The client is usually laying on a massage table but Reiki can also be given while the client is seated or standing. The client remains fully clothed. The practitioner places her/his hands on or near the clients body in a series of hand positions. Hands-on positions are: back of head, shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, ankles, feet. You may also request 100% hands-off Reiki. Each position is held for several minutes, depending on how much Reiki the client needs at each position.

I currently offer 60 minute Reiki sessions at two locations. This 60 minutes will include your intake form completion, an explanation of my Reiki process, answering any questions you may have and a debrief after your session so I can explain what I discovered energetically.

Please note: You will be asked to sign a Liability Waiver prior to your session.

You should dress comfortably for your Reiki session. Remember, you will be lying on a table so avoid wearing items with hoods if it will cause you discomfort. You will be asked to remove your shoes. As you move into a relaxed state, your body temperature might dip so dress accordingly. A blanket, bolster and pillow are always offered to you while you are on the table. Your comfort is my priority!

Typically, you will feel relaxed after a Reiki session. However, sometimes a person will have what is called a healing crisis. Reiki can help release toxins that have been stored in the body into the blood stream to be filtered by the liver and kidneys and removed from the body. When this happens, sometimes a person can get a headache or stomach ache or feel weak. It is suggested that you drink plenty of water after Reiki to aid in releasing those toxins. The body is cleansing itself and this is part of the healing process.

Reiki is NOT a religion, but it IS spiritual in nature. Reiki practitioners are not asked to change any religious or spiritual beliefs they may have. As a client, your religion is sacred to you. Healing energy is channeled through the practitioner to you, and that energy comes from Source, meaning whatever you deem your higher power—God, the Universe, The Divine, etc.

Yes! The Center for Reiki Research conducts scientific research studies on many topics including, Reiki for Chronic Pain, Reiki for Psychological & Physical Health, and many more. You can check those studies out by clicking here.

No! Reiki practitioners are not doctors and will not diagnose any conditions nor provide any medications. Reiki is used in conjunction with regular medical or psychological treatment. Reiki will enhance whatever course of treatment you have been provided by your doctors, but never replace it. Grateful Heart Reiki does not intend to diagnose, treat or prescribe treatment to any physical/mental conditions. Please consult your health care practitioner in this regard.

Balance in all realms—physical, mental, emotional, spiritual—is something that can shift and change based on what is happening in your life. Whether you have one session or several is entirely up to you and how you feel. While Reiki is a spiritual practice that you can do it as often as you like, it IS also a cumulative healing modality.

The cost for in-person Reiki sessions is dependent on which location you choose. I am currently booking in two locations in Toms River. Please reach out to discuss location choice and we can discuss session cost. Details for booking can be found here.

A Distance Healing Reiki session with me is $30, a one-time fee, for however many days Reiki needs to be channeled into the grid I create based on your Reiki needs.
