General FAQs

Holistic health services including Reiki energy healing, gut health coaching, and integrative wellness plans that blend intuition with evidence-based practices.

2. What can you expect during your first session?

Your first session starts with a brief consultation to understand your health goals, stress levels, and energy needs. Depending on the service, we may dive into energy work, dietary assessment, or mindfulness tools. Expect a calm, supportive environment.

3. Do I work with specific health conditions?

I work with a wide range of clients, whether you’re navigating stress, looking to optimize your gut health, deepen your mind-body connection, or simply feel more balanced and energized. While I often support people experiencing digestive issues, anxiety, fatigue, or chronic stress, you don’t need to have a specific concern to benefit from our work together. I do not diagnose or treat medical conditions, but I offer a supportive, holistic approach to help you feel your best.

4. Can you book both Reiki and coaching sessions together?

Absolutely. Many clients benefit from combining both. We can create a custom plan during your consultation that blends energy work with nutritional and lifestyle support.

Reiki-Specific FAQs

5. What is Reiki and how does it work?

Reiki is a gentle, hands-on (or hands-above) healing technique that channels universal life force energy to support emotional and physical healing. It’s been shown to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and enhance overall well-being.

6. Do I have to believe in energy healing for it to work?

Reiki works regardless of belief. Many clients are new to energy work but feel deeply relaxed or experience subtle shifts after a session.

7. What does a Reiki session feel like?

Everyone’s experience is different. You may feel warmth, tingling, emotional release, or simply a deep sense of peace. Some even fall asleep during sessions because it’s that relaxing.

Microbiome & Gut Health FAQs

8. What is microbiome-based health coaching?

It’s a science-driven approach to optimizing your gut flora through personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement strategies. The gut-brain-immune connection plays a huge role in your overall wellness.

9. Do you use testing or lab work?

Yes, when appropriate. I can interpret microbiome, food sensitivity, or stool test results, or guide you toward reputable labs. But you don’t need testing to get started.

10. Is this different from seeing a dietitian or doctor?

Yes. These services are meant toI complement, not replace, traditional care. My work is rooted in integrative, whole-body healing, blending current science with intuitive and energetic support.
