Helpful Tips
Day of your
appointment
where will my appointment be?
This appointment will be at my home, the address will be provided to you after booking.
It is a half brick and half tan house that is set back off the road, with plenty of parking in the driveway.
When you arrive, please use the downstairs door by the garage and dont let the cats out no matter what they tell you!
What if i'm sick on the day of my appointment?
Given the close personal interaction inherent in Reiki services, if you are currently sick with any kind of communicable disease or illness please reschedule to a time when you are feeling better as I will be reserving the right to refuse services for anyone who is visibly sick or has cold symptoms.
Also, you are welcome to wear a mask during your appointment, and I will have masks available if you wish to wear one.
I am happy to wear a mask as well if you are immunocompromised or if it makes you more comfortable.
What do you need from me before my appointment?
It’s not mandatory but if you know your birth chart information (exact date, time and location of birth) feel free to send it to me ahead of time. Astrology and numerology are two of my hobbies and sometimes I like to weave it into your appointment if it makes sense to do so. However, I need the exact birth time for the most accuracy.
Also, if you have anything specific that you would like to address or work on in your appointment please feel free to communicate it to me! It also never hurts to set intentions for what you hope to achieve in your appointment.
What should I do before my appointment?
I would recommend eating, drinking and using the restroom before your appointment, a growling stomach or a full bladder can be very distracting when you are trying to relax.
If possible I would avoid consuming alcohol and drugs before or after your appointment.
I have a restroom available here, however you will need to be able to navigate stairs to use it.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Definitely bring your journal! You never know what insights you might have and I find its best to write them down asap!
It never hurts to bring a water as well.
Also I’m a huge advocate of fuzzy socks 🙂 Or anything that will make you more comfortable!
If you are coming for an Akashic Records appointment please write down your full name on a sheet of paper however you identify in this life. For instance, do you use your married name or have you gone back to your maiden name after divorce, etc? Do you use a middle name or a nickname? Also write down any questions you might have for the Akashic Records. I can never guarantee what will come through, but it will always be what is best for your highest good and healing at this time and the questions are always nice to toggle back to.
When is the best time to schedule my appointment?
Anytime is a good time for healing! Especially if you are feeling run down and depleted, Reiki can recalibrate and supercharge your energy.
However, If you have fresh new intentions you want to set or anything you want to manifest into existence try to plan your appointment as close to the new moon as possible.
If you have anything that you want to release or let go of try to plan your appointment as close to the full moon as possible.
What will happen during my appointment?
As far as Reiki services, you will remain fully clothed and relax into a comfortable position on a bed (massage table) you only need to remove your shoes but you can leave your socks on (the fuzzier the better!) You will be lightly touched during your session, however, it can be done without touching if you prefer. Please let me know if you do not want to be touched, or if you have specific areas that you do not want touched.
I may use essential oils, crystals, or sacred smoke (sage, palo santo, sweetgrass or yerba santa) during your appointment, please let me know if you do not want this.
I will also use some kind of sacred sound such as Solfeggio frequencies, binaural beats, hemi-sync, subliminal affirmations, positive affirmations, sound bowls, tuning forks etc.
Usually I play music that vibrates at a certain hertz that will help drop you into either a theta or delta brainwave state. Theta is where you can reprogram your subconcious and delta is where you can bend reality.
What is a Reiki Master?
A Reiki Master is someone who has been awakened to the universal energy that is constantly within us and around us. This is done by an attunement, which is a ritual that is woven into the 3 different levels or system of Reiki with the use of symbols and mantras. Each of the 3 different levels have their own sacred symbol and mantra. The attunement is done by a Reiki Master Teacher (RMT). Once you have been attuned to Reiki you will always be able to access it.
What's with the cats?
Don’t let the cats out no matter what they tell you!
I do have 4 female (very curious) indoor cats, I will do my best to minimize contact but I can’t guarantee that you will not come in contact with them, if you have allergies or do not like cats this is definitely not the best place for you to receive Reiki, however, the cats and I are happy to refer you to another Reiki Practitioner!
Can I bring my children?
I love children, but unfortunately I am unable to safely accommodate them in my home or provide any type of care or supervision for them during your appointment, please make arrangements for them ahead of time 🙂
The only instance where children would be allowed is if they are the one with the appointment.
What should I wear to my appointment?
I recommend wearing something loose and comfortable to your appointment, the only thing you will be required to take off is your shoes but you may leave your socks on (the fuzzier the socks the better!)
What should I not wear to my appointment?
If possible do not wear makeup, this helps keep my linens light and bright just like your energy when you leave 🙂
Please refrain from wearing fragrance to your appointment – I try to be a low-to-no fragrance household because it severely irritates me.
This includes any fragrance, perfume, cologne, aftershave, or any other scented products such as: body lotion, body spray, hand sanitizer and certain laundry detergents.
This does not include bath soap or deodorant, please continue to maintain basic hygiene.
I would recommend leaving the majority of your belongings (handbag, jacket, etc) in your car if possible – my cats WILL go through all your stuff!
If you do decide to bring any mobile devices in with you please turn your phones, smartwatches and any other electronics to silent when you arrive.
My goal is for you to unplug for a little bit so you can focus on nourishing yourself.
Who can receive Reiki?
Reiki is safe and suitable for anyone. It is not a substitute for medical treatment, but it can complement it nicely.
There are two things to keep in mind in regards to my current location. You will need to be able to navigate stairs for this appointment, and the table you will be laying on holds up to 350 pounds and up to 7 feet.
If these restrictions don’t work for you please reach out and we can figure out another solution, perhaps a house call or a virtual appointment.
will I be safe?
Yes! You will be physically and spiritually safe. I do have security cameras throughout the house for everyone’s safety and I always say a prayer and set an intention for protection.
Anything off limits?
No smoking, vaping, drugs or alcohol on my property at any time – trust me you’ll feel so good you won’t need any of that stuff anyways 😉
And hopefully this goes without saying but, no weapons of any kind
Also, please refrain from wearing fragrance to your appointment – I try to be a low-to-no fragrance household because it severely irritates me.

What is A Medical Intuitive?
A Medical Intuitive is someone who uses thier intuitive abilities to sense health issues in a persons body. In my specific case when I am doing Reiki on someone I take time to scan through their body in my minds eye. I call this my energetic MRI, where I run a bar of light through their body and see if any areas stand out to me. It is my own version of Byosen Scanning which is a technique used in Reiki.
Helpful Tips
After your
appointment
What should I do after my appointment?
Drink plenty of water!
Try to plan your appointment at a time when you can have some quiet contemplative time to yourself afterwards. Reiki can bring a lot of thoughts, feelings, memories, emotions and sometimes trauma to the surface, so try to grant yourself some time and space to work through whatever comes up.
I highly recommend journaling on what came up during your session, if you keep up with consistent Reiki appointments it is always interesting to look back on your progress.
Reiki always makes me very relaxed so if youre able to take a nap and feel called to rest, definitely do so! Its all about taking time for yourself to listen to your body and nourishing yourself in whatever way feels right.
how often should I come back for appointments?
I recommend doing Reiki at least once per month at a minimum, however it can be more or less depending on what issues you are trying to work through. Reiki is like peeling back layers of an onion and I say onion because there is usually crying! But I find thats the best part about Reiki is that it helps to release stuck or trapped emotions
As far as any of my other services you can do them as often as you wish and whenever you feel called
Personally I always like to sync my appointments up with the new moon or the full moon
If you have fresh new intentions you want to set or anything you want to manifest into existence try to plan your Reiki session as close to the new moon as possible
If you have anything that you want to release or let go of try to plan your Reiki session as close to the full moon as possible

Pricing and Payments
Do you offer refunds?
Once services are rendered all deposits, payments and sales are final, no refunds.
Do you work for free or offer discounts?
All prices listed are not open to negotiation, discounts, trade, barter, haggling, etc. At this point in my career it would be a disservice to myself, my skills, my experience, my time and my family who depend on me financially, to accept any unpaid work. I’m also not able to offer discounts because I dont discount the service or the quality of the work. I find that there is a completely different mindset when there is an exchange of money for a service versus when its given out for free. Spiritual services are able to reach a different level when they are honored, appreciated, formalized and compensated. Its important for spiritual services to be compensated to honor both of our time and its value. Therefore, at this time im only able to fill my schedule with clients who see the value in my services. If you dont, thats ok! I promise that there is someone out there that can meet your needs and your budget. ♥
Do you charge travel fees for on location appointments and house calls?
Yes, the total mileage round trip will be billed at the 2026 IRS standardized rate of 72.5 cents per mile. The travel fee will be in addition to the fee for your service you will be receiving.
I am not currently offering on location appointments, but I do have a waiting list going for when I resume them. Please send me an email to be notified when I resume on location appointments and house calls!
In the meantime let me know if you would like to meet on Zoom, FaceTime or Skype!
What forms of payment do you take?
The only payment option at this time is cash, however I am hoping to add additional payment options and online booking in 2026.
When paying with cash please have payment prepared upon arrival as I may be unable to make change.
If you have any questions about what your final total will be on the day of your appointment please feel free to reach out ahead of time, I am happy to give you an estimate of what your total bill will be.
Do you accept tips?

That being said, gratuities are not included. Gratuities are left to the discretion of the client, and therefore are not reflected in the pricing. However, they are always greatly appreciated if you feel you have received excellent service!
