A Reiki session with Claire is a calm, private 30-minute experience designed to support deep relaxation, energetic balance, and gentle emotional release. Each session is performed personally, with intention, care, and respect for your energy.
Before We Begin
At the start of your scheduled time, we will briefly connect so you can give permission for me to enter your energy field and begin the session. Your comfort and consent are always the priority.
You will be asked to settle into a quiet, comfortable space where you can fully relax. Ideally, you should be lying down or comfortably reclined. You may play soft music, white noise, or a fan—whatever helps your body unwind. Many clients like to use a light blanket. The most important thing is that you feel safe, supported, and at ease.
During the Session
Once you are settled, I will activate Reiki and begin scanning your energy field using a traditional technique called Byosen Reikan-ho. This method allows Reiki practitioners to gently sense areas of stagnant, imbalanced, or blocked energy within the body.
As the session unfolds, each person experiences energy differently. You may notice:
emotional releases or the urge to cry
warmth or cool sensations
tingling or subtle energetic movement
deep relaxation or even falling asleep
All of these responses are completely normal. Your body and energy system will respond in the way that is most supportive for you in that moment.
Closing the Session
About 5–10 minutes before our time ends, I will gently call you back so we can briefly connect. This gives you space to share anything you felt, noticed, or experienced during the session.
After we conclude, I will take time to record the intuitive impressions and energetic information that came through. Your written follow-up may include:
personalized healing insights
supportive energetic guidance
messages from your higher self or younger self
occasional impressions from spirit, if they step forward
Everything received comes through the intention of divine love and higher universal guidance.
Delivery of Your Written Summary
Please allow up to 24 hours after your session to receive your detailed written summary. This ensures I can thoughtfully review and document what was received during your healing experience.

If you’re feeling the pull to explore your intuition more fully, I created a gentle beginner guide to help you start safely and with confidence.
Inside, you’ll learn simple ways to quiet your energy, strengthen your awareness, and recognize the difference between supportive and misaligned energy — all in a grounded, heart-centered way.
