Reiki Practice Policy Statement

Background and Training

I am a certified Usui/Holy Fire® III Reiki Master, a Registered Practitioner with the Canadian Reiki Association, and a Registered Reiki Practitioner with the International Association of Reiki Professionals. I have been practicing Reiki since 2007, teaching Reiki since 2023, and have extensive experience in providing both in-person and distant Reiki treatments.

My practice is grounded in compassion, integrity, and a commitment to facilitating relaxation, balance, and self-healing for each client. I specialize in supporting clients with stress, chronic pain, and those seeking a deeper connection to their own energy. I aim to provide a safe, welcoming, supportive and private space for all individuals.

Who Can Benefit

Reiki sessions are beneficial for general wellness, relaxation, and managing specific concerns such as chronic tension, fatigue, or emotional stress. Reiki is complementary to other medical and wellness practices and can be tailored to meet each client’s unique needs and goals. While I do not diagnose or treat medical conditions, Reiki may aid in creating a healing environment within the body.

Client/Practitioner Expectations

Before our first session

An intake form will be sent to you. Please fill it out before the session begins so we can make the most of our time together. At the beginning of our first session, we will further discuss your needs and set our intentions for the session. At the end of the session, I will share any insights I receive and suggest next steps for your continued healing.

For in-person sessions

You will remain fully clothed, and you may be draped with a blanket if you wish for additional comfort and warmth. The session begins with you lying face up on a massage table in a quiet room, resting comfortably. I may require you to turn face-down so I can work directly on the back side of your body if needed. During the session, I will gently place my hands in various positions slightly above or directly on your body. There is no massage or manipulation of tissues involved.

For distant sessions

These are conducted live via a virtual platform, allowing us to connect and set intentions for the session. To receive the most benefit from your session, ensure that you won’t be interrupted by turning off your phone and/or phone notifications and removing any other potential distractions. Choose a location where you can fully relax and won’t be disturbed. This might be a comfortable chair, sofa, or even your bed. Maintaining an open mind and clear intention can significantly enhance the effectiveness of your treatment, just like an in-person session.

For both in-person and distant sessions

Most clients report feeling a sense of relaxation and peace; some even fall asleep. While I usually talk with you before or after the session so you can fully relax during the treatment, you are welcome to share any feedback with me at any time. I encourage you to notify me immediately if you have any concerns during your session, as your comfort and safety is of the utmost importance to me.

I reserve the right to refrain from working on a person who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Sexual harassment is not tolerated. If my own safety feels compromised at any time, I will end the session immediately.

Appointment Policies

  • Session Location: In-person sessions are available at Zen Quest Wellness in Vancouver, BC, Canada, while distant sessions take place over a virtual platform and can be received from anywhere in the world. All appointments can be booked here. I do not offer house calls at this time.

  • Session Timing: Sessions are scheduled to start and end on time to respect everyone’s schedule. Please ensure all intake forms are filled out before the session begins so we can make the most of our time together.

  • Late Arrivals: If you are late, the session will conclude at the original end time. If I am delayed, I will either provide the full session length or offer a discount on that session.

  • Client Cancellations: Please provide 24-hour notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice will incur the full session fee unless the time slot can be filled. Exceptions are made for emergencies at my discretion.

  • Practitioner Cancellations: If I need to cancel a session within 24 hours, your next session will be provided at a 50% discount. In the case of an emergency cancellation on my part, the session will be complimentary.

Special pricing is available for bundled sessions, which you may request at the time of booking. Payments are due at the time of service, and I accept cash, credit cards, and digital payments. I do not bill clients, nor provide direct billing for insurance.

If during my assessment I determine with reasonable certainty that my work won’t help you, we end the session at that time and you aren’t charged for the appointment.

If you are dissatisfied with your Reiki session, you receive a full refund for that session or a complimentary treatment.

Confidentiality

Your privacy is paramount. All personal information and session details are confidential and stored securely.

Professionalism

I adhere to the IARP Code of Ethics, ensuring a safe and respectful environment for all clients. I uphold a professional and ethical standard of care, including maintaining boundaries, respecting all individuals, and ensuring that each session remains nonjudgmental and supportive. Personal and professional boundaries are respected at all times, and I do not engage in intimate social relationships with my clients.

I perform services for which I’m qualified (professionally, physically and emotionally), and refer clients to appropriate specialists when work is not within my scope of practice or not in the client’s best interest.

I customize each treatment to meet the client’s needs, and I keep accurate records and review changes before each session.

I aim to provide a safe, welcoming, supportive and private space for all clients regardless of their age, gender, race, national origin, sexual orientation, religion, socioeconomic status, body type, political affiliation, state of health, and personal habits.
