Reiki

All Reiki sessions are conducted in person at my Houston/Sugar Land area studio.

About Reiki

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a gentle, energy-based healing technique that promotes balance, relaxation, and overall well-being. Rooted in Japanese tradition, Reiki works with the body’s subtle energy systems to support the natural healing processes of the mind, body, and spirit.

Where Reiki Comes From

Reiki was founded in the early 20th century by Mikao Usui in Japan. It is based on the understanding that a universal life force energy flows through all living beings. When this energy is balanced and flowing freely, we are more likely to feel healthy, peaceful, and centered.
Reiki practitioners are trained to channel this healing energy through their hands to restore harmony and balance in the recipient’s energy field.

 What Reiki Can Support

Reiki sessions are deeply relaxing and may help with:
• Stress reduction
• Emotional clarity
• A sense of peace and calm
• Better sleep
• Energetic balance

Many clients describe feeling lighter, more grounded, and aligned after a session. While Reiki is not a substitute for medical care, it can beautifully complement your existing wellness practices.

Note: Reiki is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical or mental health condition. Please consult with a licensed healthcare provider for any medical concerns.

What to Expect During Your Reiki Session

Each Reiki session is a sacred space for you to rest, reset, and receive.

  • You’ll remain fully clothed during the session; only shoes are removed. Socks are recommended for comfort — especially since my hands may be placed near your feet.
  • You’ll begin lying on your back, and we may switch to a face-down position mid-session. I provide bolsters and cushions to ensure your comfort and proper alignment.
  • You’ll be invited to close your eyes and relax inward. This helps minimize distractions and deepen your receptivity.

As the session begins, I’ll place my hands gently on or just above different areas of your body using traditional Reiki hand positions.

You may experience:
• Warmth or tingling
• Subtle energetic shifts
• Deep relaxation or meditative states
• Emotional releases or visual imagery

There is no pressure to feel any specific way — just breathe and receive. Sessions last approximately one hour.

At the end, we’ll gently ground and take a few minutes to reflect or answer any questions if you’d like to share.

Age Requirement

Reiki sessions are available to clients 18 and older. If you’re under 18, a parent or guardian must contact me to explore possible options or family sessions.

Weight Limit Notice

For safety and comfort, the Reiki table supports up to 450 lbs. If you are over this limit, we can discuss alternative accommodations or a distance Reiki session. Your well-being matters, and I am committed to providing a nurturing space for everyone.

Long-Distance Reiki Sessions

If you’re unable to attend in person, I offer distance Reiki sessions, typically on Sundays. These are shorter but equally powerful, providing the same focused intention and energy from afar. Reiki transcends physical space and works effectively across any distance. Please email me at info@heatherburket.com for more information.

 Before Your Session

To make the most of your Reiki experience:

Hydrate – Water supports energetic flow and detoxification
Dress comfortably – Loose clothes and socks help you relax
Eat lightly – Avoid heavy meals beforehand
Arrive early – Give yourself time to settle in
Set an intention (optional) – Reiki goes where it’s needed most, but an intention can support focus

Most importantly, come with an open heart and a willingness to receive. There is no need to “do” anything — just be.

After Your Session

You may leave feeling peaceful, emotional, energized, or simply deeply relaxed. The healing energy will continue to integrate in the hours and days that follow.

Tips for post-session care:

Hydrate again to support your body’s clearing process
Rest if needed – Listen to your body’s wisdom
Be gentle with yourself – Journaling, meditating, or quiet reflection may feel supportive
Reach out – If you have questions or insights, I’m here

Trust that the Reiki energy is still working with you even after you’ve left the table.

Q&A

A: Yes! Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive modality that’s safe for all ages and health conditions. It complements medical treatment but isn’t a substitute.

Q: How long are the sessions?
A: Sessions are approximately one hour, including brief time before and after to chat and ground. Please arrive on time.

A: No belief is necessary. Reiki works with your body’s natural energy system regardless. Openness helps, but it’s not required.

A: It depends on your goals. Some feel a shift after one session; others choose ongoing support. We can discuss what’s best for you.

A: Comfortable, loose-fitting clothing. You will remain fully clothed during the session.

Q: Can Reiki help with specific issues?
