FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your Questions, Answered
HOW SHOULD I PREPARE FOR MY FIRST TREATMENT?
It is recommended not to eat a heavy meal within the hour before coming in.
For Ayurvedic massage: you will get an oily treatment. It is recommended not to shower directly after the treatment for improved benefits from the oil on your skin. Make sure you wear clothes that you do not mind having a few drops of oil on.
Not to worry, a towel will be provided to wipe the extra oil.
Come with an open mind and open heart :)
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM MY FIRST SESSION?
Reiki: expect to be in a very relaxed state, like if you are being wrapped in a warm blanket. You may even fall asleep and that is totally fine!
The session will go as follow:
-
A guided meditation to help you settle in and relax body, mind and spirit.
-
The reiki healing, during which you have nothing to do but to relax and pay attention to thoughts and sensations.
-
Debrief and optional intuitive reading.
Ayurvedic massages: a moderately oily body, head, or face massage, with gentle pressure or more if needed. Ayurvedic massage will detoxify and cleanse your body, as well as enhance your immune system. For better results, a regular Ayurvedic massage is recommended.
I AM NEW TO YOGA, CAN I ATTEND A GROUP CLASS?
Yes, absolutely!
The group classes are open to all levels. I will provide options so every practitioner can have an enjoyable practice.
If you wish to build a personal routine, I recommend booking a Free Discovery Call with me so we can see what are your needs and how I can best serve you. Setting up 1:1 sessions will help you focus on yourself and your progress, and you will benefit from a practice catered specifically for you.
What kinds of oils are used during the treatments?
I use all organic, cold-pressed, high quality oils (i.e. sesame, sunflower, coconut, brahmi and other herbed Ayurvedic oils). Each oil has its unique healing properties so I determine which oil to use for you through a client health assessment.
Do I have to undress fully for a full body massage?
You are asked to undress with the exception of your underwear. This is because these massages involve a lot of oil that can stain your clothing and are done in a synchronized flow manner. I use a linen to cover the body parts that are not being worked on.
However please specify at the beginning of the session in case some body parts are sensitives.
What is reiki?
Reiki healing is a practice that comes to us from Japan. It uses universal healing energy, a pure life force energy called Reiki, to unblock chakras and remove blockages in the body.
During a session I use gentle hand placement over your body - if you are not comfortable with touch I will just hover over the body. The energy will still flow through my hands and to you, reaching the parts where it is needed the most.
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.
