FAQS
I’m Here for You
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT FROM MY FIRST SESSION?
Sessions will be tailored to you and will differ depending on the nature of your concern. Your session will begin with a consultation. This is when you speak with me about what’s brought you here and what you’re hoping for. I will ask a number of questions; crystal healing is a holistic approach, meaning it looks at all aspects of health (physical, mental and spiritual) and so I will want to get a full picture.
Once you have had your consultation, I will know what approach will work best for you, which crystals to use and how to place them. You will be made comfortable and asked to lie down (fully clothed) on a massage table.
When you are relaxed with your eyes closed, I will begin placing crystals on and around your body.
The crystals will be left in place for the remainder of the session. During this time you are encouraged to breathe deeply and simply relax. I may add or remove crystals during the session.
Some people report feeling sensations (a warmth or tingle) while others feel nothing. Don’t worry if you don’t feel anything, this doesn’t mean your energies haven’t been affected.
When the session is over, I will remove the crystals and you’ll be encouraged to ground yourself in your body by becoming aware of your surroundings and physical sensations. Some people say they feel a difference in themselves immediately, for others it takes longer for the healing to take effect.
You may be recommended a number of treatments and often people choose to have ongoing treatments to support their overall health. As the healing takes place, you may experience an energetic detox, when negative energy quickly leaves your body. This can lead to difficult emotions being brought to the surface, so it’s important to communicate with me so I can support you.

Crystal healing benefits
Crystal healing is a complementary and natural approach, meaning it can be used alongside traditional medicine and has no negative side-effects. The benefits of crystal healing are varied and take place on several different levels.
Perhaps the most common benefit reported is the deep relaxation that takes place during a session. This type of relaxation helps aid general well-being and is particularly useful when treating stress and anxiety. It can also help ease tense muscles which can help improve physical pain and sleeping problems.
On an emotional and spiritual level, crystals can help enhance self-esteem, encourage clarity and inspire a sense of peace and centredness.
Anyone can enjoy these benefits, however, if you are sceptical about the process you will naturally close yourself off. Because of this, having an open mind and no preconceptions or assumptions is key.
Common misconceptions
Some people believe healing crystals work like a magic wand and that everything will be better immediately. The truth is, there is no ‘magic’ behind crystal healing. Instead, they enhance what you are already working on. They are very interactive and rely on you being actively involved in your own spiritual journey. For this reason, it can be helpful to continue your work outside of crystal healing sessions.
Crystal reiki the combination of crystal healing and reiki.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese relaxation technique developed by a Buddhist monk in the early 1900’s. Life force energy is channeled by the practitioner to induce balance and relaxation. The deeply relaxed state caused by Reiki allows the body, mind and soul to heal naturally.
What is Crystal Reiki?
Crystals and gemstones carry their own unique vibrations. It is believed by many, that their vibrations can stimulate our own in a way that can manifest particular benefits in our lives. Although the healing properties of crystals and stones have not been scientifically proven, they have been used for thousands of years by many different cultures.
I believe that crystal work wonderfully compliments Reiki and I enjoy combining the modalities. I use a crystal pendulum in scanning the energy body and balancing the Chakras. I choose crystals to use during the Reiki session based on the client’s situation and my own intuition. I use the crystals by either placing them directly on the Chakras of the client or I will place them on a crystal grid below the Reiki table.
