A typical Reiki session will usually last about 60 minutes.

An initial discussion with the Reiki Practitioner will occur before any session for any questions to be asked and answered.
They will describe the session to the client, give the client an opportunity to discuss any particular problems or issues they are experiencing and ask them what they are hoping to achieve from their session.

For the actual session, the client will rest comfortably on a chair with their shoes removed. Unlike massage therapy, no articles of clothing are removed and a client is always fully clothed; loose, comfortable clothing is suggested.

These sessions also incorporate essential oils into the healing process.

A Reiki session is hands-off. The Practitioner will hold their hands slightly above the clients body.
