Reiki treatments at Sit Stay Healing are held as a calm, attentive experience offered to support relaxation, balance, and overall wellbeing. Rooted in traditional Japanese Reiki practice, these sessions are not about fixing, diagnosing, or directing energy. Instead, they create a supportive space where nervous systems can settle and natural regulation can arise, allowing your or your pets own innate capacity for wellbeing to come forward.
A Reiki treatment with Sit Stay Healing is a gentle, receptive session where the practitioner holds presence and attention while the recipient rests comfortably. Reiki is offered with intention and attention, not imposed. From its traditional Japanese roots, Reiki is understood as a way of clearing tension and habitual holding, helping the body and mind move toward a balanced state rather than chasing particular outcomes.
Sessions may be held:
In person, in a calm, comfortable space
Remotely, where you are in your own environment
For people and animals alike
Each session is tailored to the individual — respecting consent, boundaries, and what feels supportive at the moment.
A typical Reiki treatment includes:
A brief conversation before the session to gently orient and answer questions
A calm space where you rest comfortably (fully clothed, with support like blankets or pillows if needed)
Minimal talking during the session itself, allowing stillness and attention to do their work
Light hand positions on or near the body, or hands-off attention where appropriate
A short check-in after the session to share observations or reflections
You may notice sensations such as warmth, gentle movement, or deep relaxation — or you may feel simply calm and present. It is important to know that Reiki is not a medical or diagnostic practice, nor a guarantee of specific results, but a supportive experience that can facilitate ease and awareness.
There’s no “right” way to prepare for Reiki. Some people choose to:
Wear comfortable clothing
Sit or lie in a quiet, uncluttered space if attending remotely
Set an intention, such as openness or receptivity
Take a few slow breaths before the session begins
Arriving with an open mind and a comfortable body helps the experience unfold naturally.
Reiki treatments are offered for:
Stress reduction and relaxation
Emotional grounding
Support during times of transition or change
Individuals seeking a gentle approach to wellbeing
Animals needing calm, supportive attention
Because Reiki works indirectly on overall balance, it can be a restorative complement to other forms of care. It is not a replacement for medical or veterinary treatment, but an adjunctive support that invites clarity and comfort.
If you’re curious about what a Reiki treatment might feel like or how it could support your wellbeing, you’re welcome to reach out with questions or schedule a session. Reiki at Sit Stay Healing is held with care, patience, and respect for the unique rhythm of each being—human or animal.
