DISTANCE REIKI - REMOTE ENERGY HEALING FROM THE COMFORT OF HOME
Receive a personalized Reiki energy healing experience without leaving your home! Distance Reiki allows your session to be delivered across any location, any ocean; helping support emotional clarity, nervous system regulation, energetic balance and deep relaxation - wherever you are.
(For existing clients that have been seen in-studio at least once)
A calming alternative for those who prefer healing in their own space or are too ill to leave their home.
What is Distance Reiki?
Distance Reiki is a form of energy healing that is offered remotely rather than in person.
Because Reiki works with subtle energetic connection rather than physical touch alone, sessions can be shared across distances while still creating a deeply restorative experience for the client.
Many clients choose remote Reiki because it allows them to receive support while:
-
Resting in their own home.
-
Avoiding travel after stressful work days.
-
Recovering physically.
-
Protecting their energy in familiar surroundings.
-
Fitting healing and self-care into a busy schedule.
-
While on holidays and they need an energetic boost!
How Does Distance Reiki Healing Work?
Distance Reiki healing involves practitioners channeling energy remotely to recipients, transcending physical distance, through steps like intention setting, mental connection, energy channeling, and reception, often leading to reported sensations like warmth or relaxation
HOW IT WORKS:
Practitioners typically follow these steps, often using tools like the sacred distance symbol for connection:
Set Intention and Connect: Practitioner focus is placed on the recipient via visualization, photo, name, or surrogate (e.g., pillow, own body).
Channel Energy: The distance symbol is invoked by the practitioner, sharing direct Reiki for 15 - 60 minutes using hand positions on the surrogate or through intuition.
Recipient Receives: Clients relax (lying down or sitting quietly), potentially feeling warmth, tingling, or relaxation. Sessions may use phone, text, video, or be silent, depending on the practitioner.
Close Session: Sessions end with follow-up communication client and practitioner, allowing discussion of observations/energetic findings and suggested next steps.
Sessions last 15 - 60 minutes, including intake, and emphasize intuition over physical presence.

Distance Reiki vs. In-studio Reiki
Many clients ask if remote Reiki feels any different from in-studio Reiki sessions. For some people, Distance Reiki sessions feel even deeper because the body can fully relax in a familiar environment without needing to drive home afterward. Others prefer in-studio sessions to 'get away from it all'. They are soothed by hands-on sessions with the added in-studio benefit of singing bowls.
One less-talked about benefit for clients with concerns such as back pain, is that a much bigger area can be covered remotely than it can with the practitioners hands during an in-studio session. This can be very beneficial for those with chronic inflammatory or mobility issues.
Both methods can be effective - the right choice depends upon your comfort level, physical mobility and personal preference.
