Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! Children and teenagers of all ages can benefit from Intuitive Wellness Sessions and Reiki energy. Younger children may have difficulty staying still for a long period of time, but that's totally normal. Some children fall asleep because it's so relaxing—everyone experiences sessions differently.

Important: Children under 16 must have a parent or guardian present in the room during their entire session.

I often encounter adults who were told to ignore or put away their intuition, feelings, or emotions as children and therefore began to doubt themselves as they grew older. I hope to provide a space for people of all ages where they can begin to trust and honor themselves.

In-Studio provides the best experience for the client by having a relaxing space where we won't be disturbed and I energetically cleanse my room after every session. It is a sacred and safe space.

Distance sessions are a way for me to connect with you when we cannot physically meet together. Distance Reiki works according to the Hermetic Law of Similarity, which holds that we are all connected, as we are all energy matter and part of a larger whole. Distance sessions are reserved for clients who I have met with beforehand, either in person or via zoom/google meet. If you're interested in a Distance Session please message me.

House Call sessions are great for the busy work from home professionals and those who are physically unable to leave their home. I am willing to travel anywhere in Des Moines and surrounding communities.

I offer several add-ons to enhance your healing experience:

Tarot Reading Add-On - Available for all session types (Distance, In-Studio, and House Call). After your Intuitive Wellness Session, we'll do a tarot reading to provide additional clarity and guidance on your healing journey. This is a beautiful way to gain deeper insight into what came up during your energy work and receive actionable guidance for moving forward.

Second Person Add-On - Available for In-Studio and House Call sessions. Bring a partner, friend, or family member to receive their own full Intuitive Wellness Session during the same appointment time. This is perfect for couples, friends, or family members who want to experience healing together.

Pet/Animal Reiki Sessions - Available for House Call appointments only. Add a session for your beloved pet during your house call appointment. Just like humans, animals benefit tremendously from Reiki energy healing. Learn more about Animal Reiki here.

To add any of these options, simply select them when booking your appointment through the scheduling page.

Using the vibrational frequency of certain essential oils, it’s possible to start the energetic clearing and balancing process at the beginning of a session. It’s a great way to “jump start” the session and it works well with Reiki. And it’s FREE, go ahead. and give it a try!

Wear comfortable, loose clothing that allows you to fully relax. Since you'll remain fully clothed throughout the session, choose something you feel at ease in. Layers are recommended as some people feel warmer or cooler during energy work. Don't forget socks if your feet tend to get cold!

You don't need to bring anything else—I provide everything needed for your session, including any crystals, essential oils, or other tools we'll use. Just bring yourself and an open mind!

This is completely normal and happens often! Falling asleep during a session doesn't diminish the healing work at all. In fact, it often means your body feels safe enough to deeply relax. The Reiki energy, intuitive guidance, and crystal work continue to flow and support your healing whether you're awake or asleep. Many clients report profound shifts even when they slept through most of their session.

Everyone experiences energy work differently. Some people feel warmth, tingling, or waves of energy moving through their body. Others feel deeply relaxed or emotional. Some people don't feel much of anything physical during the session but notice shifts in their emotions, thoughts, or life circumstances in the days and weeks following.

Not feeling strong sensations doesn't mean the healing isn't happening. Trust that your body is receiving exactly what it needs, even if the experience is subtle.

It’s pretty simple really, we create our own reality with our thoughts. So if you walk in to a session with the intent to receive healing, open to whatever comes up that needs to be released, your session will be transformational. If you walk in to your session pessimistic about it, we probably won’t make much progress.

For Sure! As an intuitive healer, I work with your energy and I can empathically feel and sense what is happening with your emotions/energy. Because my Intuitive abilities are so integrated with how I perform energy healing sessions it is difficult to turn that off. It often leads me to assist in even deeper healing for the client.

Detox symptoms will feel like you are getting sick. It’s the physical organs of your body catching up to the high vibrational inputs from the session. Drink plenty of water, eat healthy (veggies preferably), sleep, gentle yoga, and detox baths or foot baths (if you can’t soak your full body) with baking soda and epsom salt will all help you through the detox. After the detox symptoms subside, you’ll feel much better!

Yes! Intuitive Wellness Sessions and Reiki energy are completely safe during pregnancy. In fact, many pregnant clients find these sessions particularly helpful for managing stress, connecting with their baby, and preparing emotionally and energetically for birth. The gentle, non-invasive nature of energy work makes it an ideal supportive practice throughout all stages of pregnancy.

Absolutely! Intuitive Wellness Sessions are complementary healing work, not a replacement for medical or mental health care. Many of my clients work with therapists, doctors, and other healthcare practitioners while also receiving energy healing sessions. The combination often enhances your overall healing journey by addressing the energetic and spiritual dimensions alongside the physical and mental aspects of wellness.

If you have serious medical or mental health concerns, please continue working with your licensed healthcare providers.

Intuitive Wellness Sessions are spiritual but not religious. The work I do honors the universal life force energy that flows through all living things, regardless of religious background or belief system. My practice is rooted in respect for all faith traditions and spiritual paths.

Clients from many different religious backgrounds—Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, and more—have found that this work complements rather than conflicts with their personal beliefs. The energy healing we do together supports your connection to whatever higher power or source energy feels right for you.

For new clients I suggest no sooner than 5-7 days between sessions and give yourself a minimum of 3 sessions to really notice the shifts happening in your body and in your life. Most people feel better after their first session but healing is like a onion and there’s a lot of layers to work through.

Definitely, and they enjoy the same benefits that humans do, relaxation, pain-relief, etc! Some really enjoy it and others don’t as much, it’s really up to the animal. You can learn more about Animal Reiki here.
