Frequently Asked Questions

What does a Poudre Healing session look like?

We will start by having a chat to understand how you feel and how I can best help you.

The treatment on the table lasts between 45min to an hour. You lay down with your clothes - you just remove you socks.

Once on the table, we will start by breathing together, being here and now.

After that I will place my hands on various positions on your body, corresponding to the main chakras but also other energy points. I will stay a few minutes on each.

In some instances, my hands will become really warm. This means there are some energies that need to be cleaned in your body and that my hands are helping you to do so.

I may also place some crystals on you, play the drum or the koshis and use some scents or smudges.

Once the treatment is finished, I will let you rest on the table for a bit.

We will then debrief on how we both experienced the session around a nice cup of tea.

What is Energy Healing & Reiki ?

What is Reiki?

Reiki is an energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress and anxiety through gentle touch. Reiki practitioners use their hands to deliver energy to your body, improving the flow and balance of your energy to support healing.

Everything in us and around us is energy. Every beings, Humans, Animals, Plants are made of energy.

Reiki is all about making this energy circulate properly.

Your energetic body is like a river. When everything flows, the water is clear and healthy. When they are blockages, it becomes muddy and unhealthy.

The Reiki practitioner is in charge of rebalancing your energetic and emotional body.

Mikao Usui developed Reiki in the early 1900s, deriving the term from the Japanese words rei, meaning “universal,” and ki, which refers to the vital life force energy that flows through all living things. Now, reiki is used all over the world, including in hospitals and hospices, to complement other forms of health treatments.

Where does the energy come from?

The therapist is acting like a pipe, channeling the energy from a greater source. The energy is not coming from her/him but goes through her/him.

How does it feel to receive an energy healing treatment ?

Reiki is a soft treatment method. All the receiver has to do is to relax on the table and be open to what is.

Each session is different and we can never know in advance how it will develop.

You may feel some tingling sensations in your body, or see some colors, some animals, think of some memories or loved ones or feel nothing at all.

You might experience some emotional release or some tears or alternatively have a very relaxing and peaceful session.

Most people feel very relaxed and at peace after a session, but as well quite tired. They usually sleep like babies the night after.

Some others might feel agitated and won’t sleep well, if we have worked with buried memories or emotions that needed to be released. Everyone and each session is different.

After the session, make sure to drink a lot of water and give yourself some space to rest and relax.

Take it easy in the next 24 hours and avoid drinking alcool.
