How a session begins

At Aho, the practitioner starts by asking what would help you feel comfortable. You may name an intention, ask questions, or arrive without a specific goal. Hands-on and hands-off options are explained, and you decide what kind of contact is welcome.

You remain clothed and rest on a comfortable treatment table. Supportive pillows or blankets can be adjusted, and you can speak or request a change at any point.

What Reiki may feel like

During Reiki, hands may rest lightly on agreed areas of the body or remain just above it. The session may also include grounding, chakra-focused attention, sound, breath, or silence.

Some people notice warmth, tingling, imagery, emotion, or deep relaxation. Others notice very little and appreciate having uninterrupted time to rest. None of these responses is required, and a practitioner should not present a sensation as proof of a diagnosis or guaranteed result.

What to wear and bring

Wear comfortable clothing and avoid anything that makes it difficult to rest. You do not need to bring special equipment. If you have mobility, sensory, or positioning needs, mention them before the session so the space can be adjusted.

Afterward, give yourself a few minutes before rushing into the next commitment. Reiki is a complementary wellness practice and is not medical or mental-health treatment.
