Frequently asked customer questions
Helpful answers to guide you through your Reiki and energy clearing experience, offering clarity on what to expect, how to prepare, and how to integrate the shifts that follow.
How long are Reiki + Energy Clearing sessions?
Stephanie offers 60, 90, and 120-minute sessions, depending on the level of support and depth you’re looking for.
What do I wear to my session?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing that you can fully relax in. If you’re wearing a smart watch, belt, jewelry, or anything tight/restrictive, you may be asked to remove it before your session so your body can settle more easily
Should I do anything to prepare?
If you can, try to avoid alcohol, red meat, and processed sugars for 24–48 hours before your session.
Come as you are, but be open to sharing anything you’d like support with such as stress, heavy emotions, anxiety, low mood, mental overwhelm, or patterns you’re ready to shift.
Please also let me know about any medical conditions, past injuries, physical limitations, or anything you’d like me to be mindful of during your session.
Are there side effects to Reiki?
Most people leave a session feeling deeply relaxed, lighter, calmer, and more clear.
Occasionally, someone may experience what’s called a healing response (sometimes referred to as a “healing crisis”). As the body’s energy shifts and your system begins releasing what it has been holding, you may feel things like a mild headache, fatigue, stomach discomfort, emotional release, or eeding extra rest.
If this happens, it’s usually a sign your body is processing and clearing. Drink extra water, eat lighter meals, and rest.
Many clients also report better sleep, vivid dreams, emotional clarity, and feeling more grounded in their decisions after a session.
What should I do after my session?
Reiki often continues working in the body for 24–48 hours after your session. For best results, I recommend (as gently as possible):
• Drinking plenty of water
• Getting rest
• Eating lighter, nourishing meals
• Avoiding alcohol, caffeine, processed sugar, and red meat for 24–48 hours if you can Also pay attention to what shifts. You might notice:
• You feel less reactive
• You’re more emotionally regulated
• Physical pain feels reduced or changes
• You feel less stuck and more clear
• Your sleep improves
How often should I receive Reiki + Energy Clearing?
For most people, sessions every 2–6 weeks are a powerful rhythm for consistent energetic “maintenance” and deeper healing over time. If you’re going through something heavier like grief, injury, burnout, anxiety, or a major life transition, more frequent sessions (like weekly or biweekly) can be incredibly supportive.
And honestly… you’ll usually feel it when it’s time to come back. If you’re unsure, you’re always welcome to reach out and we’ll find a rhythm that supports the outcome you’re looking for.
