What to Expect at Your First Reiki Session

What to Expect at Your First Reiki Session

Walking into your first Reiki session can feel a little mysterious — that's exactly why we wrote this. Here's everything that happens, step by step, so you can arrive relaxed.

Before you arrive

There's nothing to prepare. Wear comfortable clothing (you stay fully clothed), and come as you are — no experience, belief system, or flexibility required.

Step 1: Arrive and unwind

You'll be welcomed into our calm studio at The Well in downtown Toronto. We'll chat briefly about what brought you in and how you've been feeling , just enough for your practitioner to tailor the session to you.

Step 2: Settle in

You'll lie back on the treatment table, warm and comfortable. Soft music, low light, and then... you get to do nothing. That's the whole assignment.

Step 3: The session

Your practitioner works with gentle hands-on and hands-above Reiki energy, moving through a series of positions. At Moon Flower, we also weave oracle cards into every session for intuitive guidance. Most people drift into deep relaxation within minutes.

Step 4: After

Sessions typically close with a few quiet moments to re-ground. You'll leave with a Reiki-infused crystal and simple aftercare suggestions. Many people notice shifts in their sleep, mood, and clarity over the next few days.

Common first-timer questions

Will I feel anything?Maybe warmth, tingling, or deep calm — or maybe just rest. All of it is normal.

Do I need to believe in energy healing? No. Just bring an open mind and let your body do the rest.

Is it covered by insurance? We're registered practitioners, so many extended health plans reimburse Reiki sessions. Ask us for a receipt.
