You remain fully clothed and comfortably seated or lying down while Vicki and Kate gently place their hands on or slightly above your body. There is no massage or manipulation.

Sessions are peaceful and relaxing. You may experience warmth, tingling, gentle sensations, or simply a deep sense of calm. Each session is unique and personalized to your needs.

No. You don't need to have a particular belief about Reiki to experience a session. We invite you to approach it with curiosity and simply notice how you feel before, during and afterward.

You don't have to understand or subscribe to a particular explanation of Reiki to enjoy a quiet, relaxing experience.

Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to relax. You remain fully clothed throughout the Reiki session.

Reiki sessions are available in your home, at assisted living and hospice facilities, or in other comfortable community settings. We also offer distance Reiki sessions for those who prefer to receive Reiki remotely.

Individual and pet Reiki sessions are typically 60 minutes, allowing time to settle in, receive Reiki, and gently reconnect afterward.

Reiki may be provided with gentle hands-on touch or with hands slightly above the body. Your comfort and preferences always come first, and you may request a hands-off session at any time.

People respond differently. Some feel deeply relaxed or refreshed; others notice subtle changes in mood, energy or awareness. Some people don't notice much immediately. There is no particular experience you are supposed to have.

We encourage you to simply notice how you feel and give yourself some quiet time afterward when possible.

Reiki has been studied in clinical research, including research examining relaxation, anxiety, pain and quality of life. Results have been mixed, and researchers have not established a scientific mechanism for Reiki's proposed energy field.

We offer Reiki as a complementary wellness practice rather than as a medical treatment. For a more detailed discussion of current research, please visit our Science & Reiki page.

Usui Reiki is a Japanese-origin practice developed by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. Today, Reiki is practiced in a variety of traditions around the world.

Vicki and Kate usually conduct sessions together, giving each client the attention of two experienced Reiki practitioners. We also offer mobile Reiki, bringing sessions to your home when appropriate, as well as remote sessions and Reiki for groups, businesses, and animals.

Our goal is to create a calm, comfortable and personalized experience for every client.

Yes. Energy is transmitted between individuals no matter if there is a distance of a centimeter or 2000 miles between you and the Reiki practitioners. Some people derive great comfort and relaxation from distance Reiki.

Distance Reiki sessions are conducted via Google Meet (our preferred platform), FaceTime, or Zoom using your computer or mobile phone. It is helpful for Vicki and Kate to be able to see you during the entire session to form a strong connection.

People have different experiences with Reiki, and research has not established a clear mechanism for distance Reiki. Some of our clients find distance sessions deeply relaxing and meaningful, while others prefer being together in person.

We let the animal set the pace. Some animals settle in quickly while others basically ask, “Why aren't they petting me?”

We begin by establishing rapport and observing the animal's body language. Reiki may be offered with hands on or just above the animal, depending on what the animal seems comfortable with.

Reiki for animals is a complementary wellness practice and is not a substitute for veterinary care.
