Start to finish
How a remote session works
Everything I offer here is performed remotely. This page is the whole thing from start to finish: how booking works, what arrives in your inbox, what to do at the time, and what happens afterwards.
First, the plain version
What a remote session actually is
Reiki and energy work are not limited by distance. When you book a time with me, I set that time aside for you. At the time itself I sit down with you and your focus in mind and I do the work: sending Reiki energy, clearing your energetic field, clearing a home, or whichever service you booked.
You will see this called distance Reiki, distant Reiki, online Reiki or virtual Reiki. Those are all names for the same thing.
In my understanding, Reiki is a conscious spiritual energy of pure love that flows to where it is most needed, and the other energy work I do rests on the same foundation. Receiving it is your own free choice. You do not need to hold any belief, and you do not need to belong to any church or tradition. What matters is that you want to receive.
How your session unfolds
Six simple steps from booking to receiving
- Choose your service If you want Reiki, book the Remote Reiki Session ($97). If it is energy that has built up through everyday life, people, places, stress and emotionally heavy periods, choose the Personal Energy & Aura Cleansing ($197). If the concern feels spiritual in nature, such as an unwanted attachment, a curse or hex concern or an unwanted presence, the Remote Spiritual Clearing & Protection ($447). For a home, the Home & Space Energy Cleansing ($557). For an animal, the Animal Reiki Session ($97). These are different kinds of work. Choose the one that matches what you want done. You do not need to know which method you need. I use the approach that fits you.
- Choose your time The calendar shows the next 90 days. Every time is displayed in the timezone your browser reports, and you can change it yourself if your device has it wrong. The earliest time you can choose is two hours from now.
- Your details, and your focus if you want to share it Your name and email are required. There is one optional line where you can tell me what you would like me to focus on. A word or a sentence is enough. Please leave out diagnoses, medical records and medication lists. Payment is handled securely by Stripe, and your booking is confirmed once it succeeds.
- Your confirmation arrives An email with your time in your own timezone, how to prepare for the service you chose, and a calendar file. The calendar file is a standard .ics attachment, with Apple Calendar, Google Calendar and Outlook links alongside it.
- At your time, I do the work Get comfortable wherever you are. I perform the session personally, for the full time you reserved.
- Afterwards, my note You receive a short email confirming the session took place, with my recommendation for what comes next and when. There is nothing to fill in and nothing you owe.
At the time you booked
You get comfortable. I do the work
I begin at the scheduled time, and you receive wherever you are.
Everything you need arrives by email, before and after. At the time itself, your only task is to be somewhere you can settle.
- Lie down or sit comfortably, with your arms and legs uncrossed.
- Your phone can be on silent, face down, or in another room.
- You can be awake, resting, or asleep.
- For a home cleansing, nobody needs to be home at all.
I do the work for the full time you reserved.
Before your session
Preparing
Before your session, drink some water and choose a place where you can sit or lie down comfortably. Let your hands rest naturally and keep your arms and legs uncrossed.
In my practice, the left and right sides of the body carry different energetic polarities. Keeping the arms and legs uncrossed lets the energy flow freely.
These preparations help you settle and notice more. They do not decide whether the work reaches you. It does.
- A glass of water before you begin, and another afterward.
- Somewhere you can settle without being interrupted.
- Your phone on silent, if you would rather not be reached.
- Loose, comfortable clothing. You stay fully dressed.
- A blanket within reach, since some people feel cooler when they are still for a while.
- Arms and legs uncrossed, hands resting naturally.
What you may notice
Each person experiences it in their own way
You may notice warmth, coolness, tingling, deep relaxation, emotion, subtle movement, or simply a quieter state. Some people notice nothing at the time and feel the difference over the following days. Sensitivity grows with experience.
There is nothing you need to feel for the work to be done. I am doing it, for the full time, with you in mind.
Afterwards
What arrives when it is done
When the session is complete, you receive an email from me confirming the work was done at the time you reserved. Energy is shaped every day by what you are doing, thinking and feeling and by the people and places around you, so maintaining the work matters.
The rhythm I normally work at is this. With Reiki there is no one right interval: some people receive again the next day, some several times in a week, some once a month, and you choose the pace. An energy cleansing, about every three to four weeks. A home, about every three months. After a spiritual clearing I recommend a Personal Energy & Aura Cleansing in about three to four weeks, for ongoing energy and aura care. Nothing follows unless you book again. There is no subscription and no package.
If plans change
Changing or cancelling
If you need to cancel your session, you can cancel from your booking-management page or email me at support@receivereiki.com. If your cancellation is made at least 24 hours before your scheduled session, I will refund the amount you paid minus the payment-processing fee. If you cancel less than 24 hours before your scheduled session, the booking is no longer refundable. If you email me to cancel, the time I receive your email is the time used to determine whether your cancellation is inside or outside the 24-hour window.
Your booking-management page is the private link in your confirmation email, and you can cancel or move your session there at any time. When a refund is due, the amount paid, the payment-processing fee and the refund are shown before you confirm, and confirming sends that refund to your payment provider. If the exact fee cannot be established it is reviewed by hand rather than estimated.
Inside 24 hours you can still cancel, with no refund, or move the session once instead, free of charge. If I cancel, you receive a full refund of everything you paid, including any tip, or a free reschedule if you prefer. The cancellation policy sets out every case.
Times and timezones
You always see your own clock
Every time on the booking page, in your confirmation, in your reminder, and in your calendar file is shown in your own timezone. It is detected automatically from your browser, and there is a control to change it if the detection is wrong, which happens with some VPNs and some work laptops. Check it before you pay.
The underlying schedule is the same every day of the week: 1:00 PM to 9:00 PM US Central Time. Every session begins and ends inside that window. Whether that lands in your morning, your evening, or the small hours depends on where you are.
Bookings open up to 90 days ahead, and the earliest start you can choose is two hours from now.
