FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
+ How should I prepare for a Healing session?​​
​​​
To make the most of your Reiki session, arrive with an open mind and allow yourself some time to relax beforehand. Wear comfortable clothing and try to avoid heavy meals, alcohol, or caffeine right before your session, as these can affect your energy flow. Please make sure you leave plenty of time to arrive so you avoid feeling stressed for time. If possible, take a few moments to reflect on any specific areas where you’d like healing or clarity—this can help set a focused intention for your session.​
​
​​
+ What should I expect to happen during a Reiki Healing session?
Sophia will provide a safe, comfortable and supportive environment for your session. It is normal to have some nervousness before experiencing something new, but just know you will be held, and that nothing will go wrong. Think of a session as a beautiful gift to yourself.
​
You will arrive and commence with a discussion around what you are experiencing at the moment, any issues you would like to bring up, discuss your focus for the session and what you would like to achieve.
​
You will then lay on the massage table, fully clothed and begin to settle into a comfortable and relaxing state.
Before commencing the session, Sophia may be guided to do some breathing exercises to aid relaxation and bring you into your body.
​
Sophia will then begin the session, channelling energy through her hands into your body and energetic system. She works hands on, from the crown of the head down, and focuses on the energy centres within the body, and any other areas she feels called to work on.
​
You may experience a warm, tingly sensation as the energy flows into your body, or you may feel nothing at all. Either way, know that the healing energy is being distributed to where it is needed.
​
She may also do meditations, crystal healing, sound healing and other modalities she feels called to use to clear your blockages.
​
Many people feel a warm, tingling, or gentle pulsing sensation as energy flows, while others feel deeply relaxed or may even fall asleep. The experience varies for everyone and may include sensations of heat, coolness, or even seeing colours or images. The session is entirely safe and focused on your unique energy needs.
​
Post treatment Sophia will have a discussion with you, and do a guidance card reading for you. She tries to avoid too much discussion post treatment, as this brings your consciousness into your mind, and it is more healing to stay in your body for as long as possible.
​
​
+ What should I expect to happen during a Womb Healing session?
​
Upon arrival, Sophia will warmly welcome you, providing space to ground into the experience. You’ll have an opportunity to discuss any specific intentions or thoughts you’d like to share, allowing her to tailor the session to meet your unique needs.
​
Yoni Steam Ritual
To begin, Sophia will prepare a yoni steam—a beautiful and potent way to open the session. This ritual, using carefully selected herbs, takes place in a private, intentional space and lasts about 10-15 minutes.
​
Womb Healing and Massage
After the yoni steam, you’ll be guided back to a massage table, where you can comfortably lie under two blankets or sheets, covering your upper and lower body separately. This setup allows Sophia to access your womb area for massage with ease while respecting your privacy. You may choose to keep your underwear and bra on if that feels more comfortable, and your boundaries will be honoured throughout the session.
​
Energetic Healing
Sophia will then begin the energetic healing, working with multiple layers of your energetic body as well as the energy of your womb space. She may guide you through a meditation to help you connect more deeply with this sacred area.
​
Massage and Sound Healing
Sophia will move on to perform a gentle massage focusing on the womb, chest, and head areas. To elevate the experience, she may use vibrational tools like crystal singing bowls and tuning forks, designed to raise your energy and support healing.
​
Reflection and Integration
After the healing, you’ll have a few quiet minutes to reflect, journal any insights that surfaced, and enjoy a warm cup of ceremonial cacao along with some light snacks to close the experience.
​
Closing and Guidance
Sophia will rejoin you to draw intuitive guidance cards and share any insights or guidance that came through during your session, providing a mindful conclusion to your journey.
​

​​​​​
+ What should I expect to feel after my session?
Most people report feeling emotionally lighter, relaxed and more connected to themselves. It is very normal however to experience some detox symptoms post session. You may experience headaches, cold symptoms, increased digestive activity and feeling emotionally tender.
​
If you had a Womb Healing, you may notice some difference in your next period. It may come earlier and may be different. This is a sign of clearing and cleansing from the session.
​
After Reiki, people often report feeling calm, centred, and refreshed. Some may feel a bit tired initially as their energy adjusts, while others feel energised. Reiki can continue to work in your body for hours or even days, gently balancing your energy and supporting healing. Listen to your body and honour any sensations that arise.
​​
​
+ How should I care for myself after my session?
​
After a session, take it easy and drink plenty of water to help your body release any energy it no longer needs. Rest if you feel tired, and consider doing something grounding, such as a short walk or quiet reflection. Journaling about any insights or feelings that arose can be helpful for integration. If emotions or memories surface, know that this is part of the healing process and give yourself space to process them gently.
​
​​
+ Can Reiki address specific issues or conditions?
​
Reiki can support healing on many levels—emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual. While Reiki is not a substitute for medical care, it can complement treatments, especially for stress, emotional blocks, and certain physical symptoms. During the session, you are welcome to share any areas of focus, though Reiki always flows to where it’s needed most.
​​
​
+ How many sessions will I need?
​
The number of sessions varies depending on individual needs and goals. Some people feel refreshed after just one session, while others benefit from regular sessions to support ongoing healing or personal growth. We can discuss your needs and find a session frequency that works best for you.
​
​​
+ Is there anything I should know about setting intentions for my session?
​
While setting an intention isn’t necessary, it can be helpful to focus your energy on a specific area or feeling. Whether you’re seeking balance, clarity, or physical healing, being open to whatever arises during the session often brings the best results. I’m here to support you and can help guide you in setting an intention that feels aligned.
​
​
+ How will I know if Reiki is working for me?
​​
Reiki often works subtly, with effects unfolding over time. You may notice shifts in your mood, greater clarity, increased relaxation, or even improved physical wellbeing. Pay attention to these changes, as they can be subtle. Trust that Reiki works with your body’s natural healing processes, supporting whatever healing or growth is needed at that time.
​​
​
+ Can I receive Reiki if I am pregnant, have medical conditions, or take medication?
​
Yes, Reiki is safe and non-invasive, making it suitable for most people, including those who are pregnant, have chronic conditions, or take medications. However, Reiki is not a replacement for medical treatment. Always follow your healthcare provider’s advice and let me know about any specific concerns so I can provide the most supportive experience for you.
