What is life coaching? It’s a space where you can feel safe. We chat, laugh, sometimes cry, and always take a step forward. You tell me your wildest dreams and you take steps forward with all of my support.

What is the difference between a therapist and a coach? A therapist works with you on personality and mental disorders. They approach your situation medically and often help to repair issues from your past. A coach simply helps you set goals to improve your life going forward.

Should I see a therapist or a coach? Life coaching should never replace therapy for an illness or past trauma; however, it can certainly compliment therapy. It can be an important step you take to get you ready for therapy if therapy is something that scares you. It can be the step after therapy or an addition to going to therapy. At therapy you often talk and cry it out. With me we will dream and plan it out!

Can I just do one session at a time? Absolutely, though I really don’t recommend it. In coaching, we take realistic steps forward and we follow up to make sure they are being done. If they are not, then we work together to understand why and to possibly tweak the plan. We work towards life change, which is much bigger than one session can handle. We will not create a plan until our first session, then the plan is very much tailored to you. After we set a plan, you can choose to go session by session or go all in! You are always in the drivers seat during YOUR transformation.

What is Reiki? Reiki is what is going to finally allow your body to relax. Whatever you have gone through or are going through, Reiki will, at a minimum, relax you by clearing those stagnant emotions (energy) that has been stored in your body for months, years, or even longer. If you have stress, I can help. Reiki helps with reduction of stress by balancing and clearing the energies in our bodies. The general technique is to place hands above or onto the body in specific areas, allowing the life energy to flow to the client and help their body heal in whichever way is best for them.

What are the benefits of Reiki? Reiki allows the client’s body to reduce stress. Reduction of stress can allow the client’s body to heal however is best for the client. It is known to reduce stress, allow people to handle life’s stresses better, give focus, help anxiety, clear old blockages (allows tears to flow during or after treatment), better sleep, find calm, and aide in helping to relieve pain or symptoms of disease with an underlying cause of stress. How Reiki will affect each client is not guaranteed as it reduces the stress in their body so they (or their body) can do what is best for them as an individual.

What does Reiki feel like? How Reiki is received and felt is different for each person and further, different with each treatment. Some feelings I and/or my clients have had during treatment are warmth, comfort, cold, strands of electricity (like electrical stimulation), peace, energy left in place after I move to a different area, instant muscle release, and reduction of pain. Some don’t feel anything during the treatment, but notice the benefits the following day (see benefits above).

How does it work? We don’t know how it works, only that it does. Scientifically speaking, we are all made of energy. Reiki simply helps to balance it out when it gets off due to emotions, stress, and life in general.

Where’s the proof? Dr. Oz talks about the benefits of Reiki and knows first hand as his wife is a practitioner. Harvard has done a large scale study showing that Reiki benefited people with just one treatment. Honestly, ask someone who has received it. Better yet, try it. Until you try it, it’s unbelievable and difficult to put into words.

Can I do Reiki even though I don’t know how to tap into the energy to heal people? Absolutely! Anyone who is open to receive or work with Reiki can very much do so. That is the amazing thing about Reiki. Not only is it more powerful than other energy techniques out there, you don’t have to “try” to connect with it. You simply receive an “attunement”, which means connection to the flow of Reiki, from a Master/Teacher, and you will immediately be able to work with the energy.

Is the attunement forever? Yes! Once connected, you are both connected to the energy and the gentle Divine for the rest of your life!

Do I “have” to heal others when I learn Reiki? Absolutely not. My goal as both a life coach and Reiki master is to help people heal and move forward. An attunement, connection to the ability to do Reiki, is the most powerful Reiki session a person can have. Therefore, I have created self-healing events, currently called Infinite Self Heal, where I only teach you how to do self-Reiki and we also take some time to journal. You can find them on my appointment page HERE if you would like to use the ability to focus on your journey at the moment. And you can always move forward to healing others by obtaining your Practitioner certification with me later, if you choose!

What if I want to heal others, but I am still unhealed myself? I encourage you, in this case, to absolutely become attuned to Reiki and begin healing others. Sending Reiki to others is you sending life force energy, nothing that you give is from “you”. You are simply the conduit, think faucet, for Reiki, think water, to flow through. You will be doing what your heart is asking you to do AND healing at the same time. Healing first, with the powerful attunement that clears you very deeply, and healing second, with each session you give, because as you send Reiki, you also receive Reiki. I always tell my clients that this is the best profession in the world, as every time I give, I also receive a little.
