BEFORE YOUR SESSION

Preparing for Your Sensory Reiki® Experience

Thank you for choosing to experience Sensory Reiki®. I'm truly honored to hold this space for you.

Below are a few gentle invitations to help you arrive grounded, relaxed, and ready to receive.

Every Sensory Reiki® Session Is Personal

No two sessions are exactly the same.

Sensory Reiki® follows an intentional therapeutic arc while remaining responsive to you.

Most sessions move through a familiar sequence of connection, intention, sensory exploration, Reiki, somatic awareness, integration, and grounding. Within that structure, I listen closely to what your body, nervous system, preferences, and responses are communicating in the moment.

Your session may include Reiki, somatic touch, sensory tools, breath awareness, gentle craniosacral-inspired techniques, sound, aromatherapy, crystals, temperature, texture, music, and other supportive elements.

Some sessions call for more sensory input.

Others call for less.

Nothing is added simply because it is part of a routine. The experience is shaped around what feels supportive for you.

The structure creates safety. The sensory expression remains personal.

Why Preparation Matters

Sensory Reiki® is designed to support an environment where your body can slow down, receive, and reconnect with itself.

You do not need to arrive perfectly relaxed.

You do not need to clear your mind.

You do not need to know exactly what you want from the session.

These invitations simply help create conditions for greater presence, comfort, nervous-system support, and embodied awareness before we begin.

Invitation 1: Set Your Intention

Take a moment to ask:
What do I want to feel more of?
Clarity? Calm? Energy? Grounding? Connection?

There isn't a right or wrong answer. Whatever comes forward is enough.
You can write it down, speak it aloud, or just hold it quietly in your heart.

We will talk about it at the start of our session.

Invitation 2: Prepare Your Body

While Sensory Reiki® works with energy, it's also a deeply body-centered experience. Together we'll work with your nervous system, breath, somatic awareness, intuitive touch, craniosacral techniques, and sensory tools to support your body's natural ability to regulate and heal.

To support your system in opening:

  • Stay well-hydrated before and after

  • Eat light leading up to your session

  • Avoid caffeine and alcohol for at least 24 hours if possible

  • Please let me know before your appointment if any of the following apply:
    – Allergies to oils or salves
    – Metal implants (tuning forks can be affected)
    – Recent illness, parasite flare, or gut imbalance
    – Pregnancy or postpartum changes

You always have choice throughout the experience.

You can decline any scent, crystal, touch, sound, position, or sensory element at any time.

Sensory Reiki® is not appropriate while under the influence of recreational drugs or other substances that significantly alter awareness or the ability to give informed consent. If you are unsure whether something applies to you, please contact me before your appointment.

Invitation 3: Arrive Grounded + Open

Wear something loose and comfortable — the kind of clothes you can fully relax in.

I recommend having your neck and top of your chest open.
Minimal makeup and jewelry is best. If you’re receiving intuitive cranio sacral work, wearing your hair down makes it easier for me to work gently with the head and neck.

Invitation 4: Post-Session Integration

Healing doesn't end when the session does. Many people notice continued shifts over the next day or two as the nervous system integrates the experience.

Here’s how to support that:

  • Hydrate and rest.

  • Take a salt bath or dip in the ocean or Iao if available

  • Journal what comes up — feelings, sensations, insights

  • Go gently. Your nervous system is integrating at its own pace.

  • You may feel tired, emotional, peaceful, energized, creative, or deeply relaxed. Every experience is unique. Whatever arises, meet it with curiosity and gentleness, knowing your body is integrating in the way it needs to.

  • If anything comes up after your session or you have questions about your experience, please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm always happy to support you.

Thank you

Thank you for trusting me with your healing journey. It's a privilege to witness people reconnect with themselves, and I'm grateful to share this experience with you.
