FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
New to Reiki? Not sure what to expect? Here are honest answers to the questions Becca hears most often.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is an energy-based healing practice. Universal life force energy flows through all living beings, and when that energy is low or blocked, it can show up as physical tension, emotional stress, or mental fatigue. During a Reiki healing session, the practitioner helps direct that energy, releasing what is blocked and supporting a natural return to balance.
Do I need to believe in anything specific for Reiki to work?
No. Reiki is a practice, not a belief system. You do not need to hold any particular views or background for the work to be effective. The energy is neutral and works regardless of where you are in your personal journey.
What happens during a session?
Each session includes three parts. Before the session, Becca takes time to talk with you about your focus and intentions for the appointment. During the 60-minute Reiki healing session, she works on tuning your chakras, moving stagnant energy, and supporting the flow of positive energy through your system. After the session, she walks you through Reiki aftercare support, shares observations, and answers any questions.
What does a Reiki session feel like?
Most people describe feeling a deep sense of relaxation during and after the session. Some notice warmth, a sense of lightness, or emotional release. Others feel very little in the moment but notice meaningful shifts in the days that follow. Every experience is different.
Do I need to be physically present?
No. Becca offers distance Reiki sessions through the practice of Enkaku Chiryo distance healing. These sessions are conducted online via Zoom and are just as effective as in-person work. Distance Reiki is especially valuable for those who are sensitive to touch, recovering from surgery, or located outside of Hailey, Idaho.
How much does a session cost?
A standard 60-minute session is $135 and includes the pre-session consultation and post-session debrief. Extended 90-minute sessions are available upon request for $175.
When can I book a session?
Sessions are available Monday through Thursday from 10 AM to 5 PM. Available time slots are 10 to 12, 12 to 2, 2 to 4, and 4 to 6. For appointments outside these hours, contact Becca directly at (208) 720-8623.
Can Reiki help with anxiety or stress?
Yes. Reiki for Anxiety Relief and Reiki for Stress Relief are among the most common reasons people book sessions. Reiki supports the nervous system, encourages the body to move out of a stress response, and promotes a lasting sense of inner peace and harmony.
Is Reiki safe for people who are sensitive to touch?
Yes. Becca works with Reiki for Sensitive Individuals regularly. Light touch and no-touch techniques, including distance sessions, are available. You are always in control of what feels right for you during your appointment.
Can Reiki help with sleep?
Many clients report significant improvement in sleep quality after their sessions. Reiki for Better Sleep works by calming the nervous system, releasing built-up tension, and supporting the conditions the body needs to rest fully.
Is Reiki a substitute for medical treatment?
No. Reiki is a complementary wellness practice. It supports your overall wellbeing and can work alongside conventional care, but it is not a replacement for medical treatment or diagnosis. If you have a specific health condition, always work with a licensed medical provider.
What is Byosen Scanning?
Byosen Scanning is a Reiki technique used to detect energetic imbalances in the body before and during a session. Byosen Energy Scanning allows the practitioner to identify areas where energy is congested or absent and focus healing attention there.
What should I do to prepare for my session?
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing.
- Eat a light meal at least one hour before your appointment.
- Avoid caffeine or stimulants before your session if possible.
- Come with an open mind and a clear sense of what you would like to focus on.
- Complete the Reiki disclaimer form before your first session.
