Every session is different, but there’s often a natural shape to it, especially early on while we’re still building trust and figuring out where your edges are, which can shift from session to session, so we check in regularly throughout.

Breath is the main thing throughout. Everything else supports it; it doesn’t replace it. I don’t start any bodywork until you’re properly settled into the breath itself. And bodywork isn’t guaranteed every time; some sessions are breath alone, some bring in more. Where I begin, if I do, varies depending on what you need that day: it might be Reiki, it might be your crown, it might be your feet. There’s no fixed starting point, and no fixed formula.

There’s no fixed starting point, and no fixed formula.

From there, I follow what your body’s telling me and bring in bodywork to support wherever the breath takes you, if that’s what the session calls for. That might mean gentle, mindful work near your energy centres, always fully clothed, always with your consent, and just as often with my hands held above you as on you, if that’s what feels right for you. It might involve your hands, your feet, your shoulders, your crown. Sometimes I’ll use tuning forks to help shift energy that’s got stuck. To give you a sense of how this might look: I work through pressure and energy points, often on the hands and feet, that correspond to different areas of the body. So for someone holding a lot in their throat, that might mean more time on the throat’s reflex points; for someone working through grief, more time on the points connected to the lungs and heart; for someone whose nervous system is depleted, more time on the adrenal points. These are just examples. Where we actually go depends entirely on you.

I’m reading you as we go… a twitch, a tightened muscle, a shift in your breath all tell me something. Nothing is scripted, and nothing is required. You can have all of it, some of it, or none of it.
