Frequently Asked Questions

Which Service Should I Book First?

For those deciding between Channeled Coaching and an Intuitive Reiki Session, I’d recommend beginning with Reiki. These sessions are a great opportunity for first-time clients to decide if we are a good fit. They are also useful for laying a foundation for follow-on coaching sessions. For example, someone seeking coaching regarding anger in relationships might first benefit from a Reiki session to identify and release stuck emotions. Please reach out if you are still unsure. We can make a plan together!

What is Reiki?

Reiki is a holistic healing practice that focuses on channeling and balancing the universal life force energy within and around us. Originating in Japan, Reiki is a powerful tool for addressing disruptions in this energy flow, which may cause physical ailments and emotional distress. During a Reiki session, a practitioner places her hands lightly on or above specific areas of the body to facilitate the free flow of energy through the chakra system. Reiki is non-intrusive and gentle, allowing individuals to experience deep relaxation and a sense of peace. It is often used as a complement to traditional medical treatments and can be highly beneficial for physical, spiritual, and emotional healing. This practice is rapidly gaining recognition throughout mainstream healthcare and has been effectively integrated into esteemed medical institutions such as the Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic.

Who can receive Reiki?

As a gentle and non-invasive energy healing practice, Reiki is considered safe for animals and individuals of all ages and health conditions.

What are the benefits of Reiki?

While everyone’s experience of Reiki is unique, this practice offers a multitude of benefits for physical and mental well-being. One primary advantage is its ability to promote deep relaxation and reduce stress, while also sharpening intuitive skills. By facilitating the flow of life force energy, Reiki helps to release tension, restore balance, and alleviate physical ailments, such as chronic pain, migraines, and digestive issues. Through its gentle touch and energy transfer, Reiki promotes the body's natural healing abilities and stimulates the immune system. Additionally, Reiki supports emotional healing by reducing anxiety, releasing emotional blockages, improving mental clarity, and fostering inner peace for self-discovery and growth. Overall, the numerous benefits of Reiki make it an effective healing modality for enhancing physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

What does intuitive/psychic really mean?

I understand and acknowledge that the term “psychic” is highly stigmatized, but it essentially refers to the ability to receive information from sources beyond one’s own system, which may include other people, divine entities, Spirit Guides, or departed loved ones. As a healer, I am able to “tune in” to my client’s energy during sessions by setting the intention to facilitate healing. This practice has evolved over 25 years of learning to understand energetic empathy and allows me to use extrasensory perceptions to identify blockages and offer guidance on addressing them.

Extrasensory perceptions, often referred to as spiritual gifts or sensitivities, include various sensations resulting from spiritual phenomena. Mine include seeing, hearing, smelling, and feeling energy and Spirit. Additionally, I receive intuitive insights, or “downloads,” about a person’s wellbeing and/or life situation. These downloads often include insights into past lives as well. For those unfamiliar with spiritual concepts or harboring skepticism, have you ever experienced a strong gut reaction or felt positive “vibes” from someone? We are referring to the same phenomenon.

Intuition, on the other hand, refers to one’s own inner knowing and wisdom and allows us to draw from our higher self. While certain people may possess heightened sensitivity from birth, both psychic abilities and intuition can be honed and expanded through practice. Contrary to popular belief, these faculties do not have to be about crystal balls or fortune telling. Rather they are empowering senses that can serve us well in life. These natural abilities, accessible to all, stem from our inherent connection to a higher source. One may refer to this source as the Divine, God, the universe, or even love, but it is this incredible connection that empowers us to form meaningful relationships with one another, experience beauty, and even heal.

What should I expect during a Reiki session?

In-person sessions take place at my office in Franklin, TN. Please wear comfortable clothing to your appointment. If possible, please avoid wearing leather, silk, or jewelry. Following completion of the Client Intake and Consent Form, we will discuss your concerns and goals for the session. You will then lay on the table fully clothed, and I’ll begin gently placing my hands on or above each of your chakras. No physical contact is required. Hand-hovering is equally effective, and your comfort is my priority. Sensations experienced during Reiki vary among clients, ranging from warmth or tingling to a cooling sensation or no sensation at all - each experience is valid and does not indicate effectiveness. Emotional releases are common and welcomed during the session. As we progress, I will share any insights or sensations that I perceive. We will conclude by discussing your personalized affirmations and recommended actions to support your continued healing and wellness.

For virtual sessions, all forms will be provided via email and must be completed and returned prior to your appointment. Virtual sessions are conducted via Zoom or phone call and are equally effective. As you relax in a comfortable and private place, I will work through your chakras energetically and offer insights, no physical contact required.

Post-session, I advise clients to be gentle with themselves, as emotional releases may continue in the hours and days following. Hydration is also highly encouraged.

Please note, my services as a spiritual channel are not intended for entertainment or fortune telling. I offer healing, coaching, and teaching services, and will only provide information that serves these purposes.

How often should I receive Reiki?

This decision is entirely yours, and your preferences may change depending on your circumstances or life events. Some clients may find regular sessions (up to weekly or bi-weekly) beneficial for practicing self-care during a difficult time, while others may prefer sessions to be less frequent. Regardless, I advise my clients to consider scheduling their next session when the thought occurs to them frequently. If you have concerns about scheduling follow-up sessions, please don’t hesitate to discuss them with me. We can make a plan together.

How do I pay for my service?

Payment for services is due upon appointment completion. I accept cash, card, or Venmo for a seamless experience. Please note that service prices are subject to change. Your prompt payment allows me to provide focused attention and maintain an efficient schedule. Thank you for creating a stress-free environment.

What is your cancellation/reschedule policy?

I understand that sometimes appointments need to be rescheduled or cancelled. To make sure the scheduling process runs smoothly and is fair to everyone, I have implemented a $50 reservation for all rescheduled appointments. This payment is due at the time of rescheduling and will count towards your next session’s payment (i.e. you would only owe the remaining $50 after a Reiki session). This policy helps me maintain a high standard of service, and I appreciate your understanding.
