Frequently Asked Questions
Distance Session
What is a Distance Session?
A distance session allows you to receive the benefits of Reiki and Sacred Weaving without being physically present. You remain in the comfort of your home or another quiet space while I work from my healing space.
What to Expect During a Distance Session
Why Distance Session Work
Energy is not bound by physical space. During a distance session, I connect with your energy field just as if you were in the room. I can sense and address energy blocks, chakra imbalances, and other areas that may need support. Clients often report reduced pain, improved sleep, and a lasting feeling of balance.
As Bernadette Doran, BS, RMT, explains in The Reiki Times (Vol. 13, Autumn 2009):
“Energy is a vibration that transcends time and space. Quantum physics confirms that at the subatomic level, everything is energy, and energy is interconnected. This interconnectedness allows for the transfer of healing energy, no matter the physical distance.”

What to Expect During a Distance Session
- Scheduling: Book your appointment just as you would an in-person session.
- Before the Session: At your scheduled time, I’ll call for a brief conversation to set your intention. We’ll confirm the start and end times.
- Relaxation: Choose a quiet, comfortable place where you won’t be disturbed for an hour. You may wish to enhance your space with soft music, a candle, or calming scents.
- The Session: After our call, I’ll intuitively send Reiki and Sacred Weaving energy. You may feel warmth, tingling, waves of emotion, deep relaxation, or even drift into sleep. Every experience is unique, but most clients feel a deep sense of peace.
- After the Session: I’ll call you at our designated end time. Just relax and don’t watch the clock — I’ll reach out when the session is complete so we can discuss insights, sensations, and observations from both of our perspectives.

Testimonials
Many people are curious about Distance Sessions until they try one. Here’s what some clients have shared about their experiences:
"I have to admit when I first heard of distance Reiki, I was skeptical but after reaching out to Michelle, during a difficult period, I was open to anything! I am so glad I was. Michelle and I live over 80 miles from each other, but the session felt as if I was in her studio. I experienced the same level of benefit, the same after effect of peace and I reach out for it all the time now...a quick text is all that stands between Reiki and me. I absolutely rely on it!."

“I had the privilege of having a remote Reiki session with Michelle, and it was wonderful! The pre-and post-session phone calls ensured we were on the same page and bookended the session with Michelle’s thoughtfulness and concern. I feel like none of the connection between us was lost due to distance and it is a wonderful solution to current social distancing practices or for anyone who is homebound for any reason. Michelle is a warm, caring, very talented practitioner who truly loves what she does and believes deeply in the healing power of Reiki, and her passion is inspiring. I would definitely recommend the remote sessions.”

“I had my first session of distance Reiki with Michelle, and it was amazing!! She called me so we could connect verbally for a few minutes prior to the session. Once we hung up, I relaxed in my space and within minutes felt myself separate from my physical being. As I laid there, I could feel her beautiful energy connected with me. Throughout the session I felt and heard her presence as well as “touch” in places that I needed to release. My body felt so light as she worked on my energy self. I could feel the negative energy leaving and the positive energy taking over me. About 50 minutes later I felt my energy self-reconnect with my physical self, we spoke on the phone a few minutes later about our experience and we realized that what I was feeling was exactly what Michelle was working on at that time. I highly recommend this type of Reiki work with Michelle as we are living in a time where personal contact is being limited.”
