FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Here are answers to some frequently asked questions to help you better understand our offerings:
WHAT IS SOUND HEALING?
Sound healing is a therapeutic practice that uses vibrational frequencies from various instruments, such as singing bowls, chimes, and drums, to promote a state of deep relaxation. The instruments produce sound waves that resonate with the body, bringing it into a state of harmony. This harmonic resonance is believed to balance energy, reduce stress, and enhance overall health.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING A PRIVATE SOUND HEALING SESSION?
Private sessions typically last 60 minutes. You can expect a serene environment where you either sit or lie down fully clothed. Singing bowls are placed strategically around and sometimes , bowls may be placed on specific areas of the body, such as the chest, abdomen, or limbs. This is done with utmost care to enhance the vibrational resonance and balance energy centers.
The bowls are played, creating harmonic vibrations that induce deep relaxation to promote well-being. Each experience is personalized to individual concerns. Experiences can vary, but many people report feelings of deep relaxation, inner peace, and a heightened sense of well-being during and after the session.
CAN ANYONE RECEIVE SOUND HEALING?
Yes, these practices are generally safe for most people. However, if you have specific health concerns, recently underwent surgery, have a pacemaker, or are pregnant, it's advisable to consult with your healthcare provider before scheduling a session.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. Since you'll be fully clothed, choosing something that allows for ease of movement and promotes relaxation is essential. Keep in mind that you will have a light sheet or blanket covering you.

WHAT IS REIKI?
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique involving the practitioner channeling universal energy to promote relaxation, stress reduction, and well-being. In-person sessions utilize gentle touch or hands hovering over the body, while distance sessions harness the ability to transmit healing energy across space and time.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING A PRIVATE REIKI SESSION?
In-person sessions begin with a brief consultation to understand your goals and any specific concerns. You'll then find a comfortable space, either seated or lying down, fully clothed. The practitioner will use gentle touch or hands hovering above specific energy centers, focusing on areas of tension or imbalance on both the front and back of the body. The session concludes with a closing discussion and self-care recommendations.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT DURING A DISTANCE REIKI SESSION?
A 30-minute distance Reiki session on Google Meet is conducted virtually. After a brief pre-session discussion to set intentions, you'll join a video call with your practitioner. The practitioner will guide you through a short relaxation exercise before initiating the energetic connection. You'll be asked to find a comfortable space and remain open to receiving the energy during the session. The session concludes with a closing discussion and self-care recommendations.
DO I NEED ANY SPECIAL EQUIPMENT FOR A DISTANCE REIKI SESSION?
All you need is a stable internet connection, a device with a camera, and a quiet space where you won't be disturbed. Wear comfortable clothing, and have any specific intentions or concerns in mind to share with your practitioner.
