General questions about Reiki
What is Reiki?
Rei-Ki (also known as Prana, Chi, or life force) is used to harmonize the flow of energy in the body while experiencing deep relaxation. With REIKI, we work especially in the invisible energy field (aura) and the energy centers (chakras). The task of the chakras is to absorb life energy and forward it to the entire physical body (organs, glands, joints, spine, skin…).
This energy is an endless source that has been used by many cultures since ancient times – in Japan, Tibet, India, and other countries. Dr. Mikao Usui rediscovered this healing system in Japan at the beginning of the 20th century. From Japan and Hawaii, REIKI spread all over the world.
Do something good for yourself! Find your own balance & energy, and recharge your strength. For yourself and others (people / animals / plants – all living beings).
How does Reiki work?
You neither have to believe in Reiki nor be convinced of it. Reiki works even if someone is unconscious (see my feedback/reviews regarding coma patients) as well as on animals and plants.
Reiki works on the physical, mental, and emotional/spiritual levels. The all-encompassing energy will ground you, and if you are out of balance, it will strengthen and focus you.
Reiki balances our energy and simultaneously acts on the chakras, our subtle energy centers, as well as on our aura.
Reiki affects our autonomic nervous system and endocrine system. Hormonal and emotional fluctuations are brought into harmony through Reiki.
Who is Reiki for?
Reiki is for everyone.
Healthy and sick people / animals alike.

REIKI is a completely natural, easy-to-learn, and highly effective energy healing method.
It is a technique for activating, restoring, and harmonizing natural energy in body, mind, and soul.
It utilizes the principle that every living being possesses the innate ability to heal itself.
REIKI promotes overall well-being and combines wonderfully with conventional medical treatments and other forms of energy work.
REIKI is directly connected to the source of the universe and our inner self. As a result, REIKI energy automatically works where it is needed most by optimally addressing the recipient’s needs.
Furthermore, Reiki is extremely relaxing and soothing.
You can enjoy Reiki treatments without any hesitation at any time, even without any complaints—for wellness, relaxation, letting go, peace of mind, recovery, and better, deeper sleep.
REIKI is not only suitable for people who are ill—quite the contrary. Staying healthy is the best and most sensible approach; you don’t need to wait until you are already sick to visit a doctor or healer.
Every single one of us needs universal life energy. Connecting with it regularly benefits every person, animal, and plant (every living being) in every way. REIKI enhances our quality of life.
REIKI is also recommended before and after surgical or physical procedures to support the healing process.

-
Helps recognize and let go of negative thought patterns
-
Clears and calms thoughts and promotes a healthy sleep cycle
-
Supports our connection with the Higher Self
Due to stress, poor diet, injury, negative experiences, persistent negative thoughts, and suppressed emotions, the flow of energy can become disturbed or blocked. This first manifests as energetic imbalances in the aura and chakras before showing up as illness in the physical body.
The aura permeates, surrounds, and nourishes the physical body.
This treatment method makes it possible to cleanse your aura and chakras, energize them with fresh vitality, and continuously improve your intuitive perception of them.
A central focus of REIKI work is also the clearing of stale and disease-causing energy.
This wonderful energy treats our physical symptoms as well as the underlying root causes found within the mental and emotional realms.
Does Reiki work on animals and plants as well?
Yes, of course. Reiki is not just for humans, but for everyone and everything. Even “rigid” or inanimate objects such as pieces of jewelry, rooms, houses, etc., can be energized with Reiki.
Here, too, the principle applies that we must never force Reiki on anyone and should always use Reiki with the necessary respect for all living things. Even more clearly than humans, animals will show you whether they are ready for it or if they would prefer to retreat.
For example, you will never be able to give Reiki to a cat if it doesn’t want it. Furthermore, your pets will also come to ask for a session voluntarily whenever they feel it is necessary.
Can Reiki be combined with other types of treatment?
Yes, Reiki can be used complementarily with all alternative or Western therapies at the same time, as Reiki activates the body’s self-healing powers. In my practice, Reiki can be combined with Polarity or Aura-Soma. Reiki is also available as a distance treatment.
Does Reiki replace a doctor's visit?
Definitely not: Reiki is not a substitute for a doctor’s visit or medically prescribed treatment!
However, Reiki is a wonderful tool for activating the body’s self-healing powers. When paired with conventional medicine, it can accelerate healing and provide overall positive support. Reiki also integrates and combines remarkably well with other alternative healing methods.
I have been fortunate enough to witness miraculous healings in coma patients and individuals with conditions considered “incurable,” which never fails to touch me deeply.
Does Distance Reiki really work?
Yes, absolutely.
Just as water connects continents, Reiki connects consciousness and the heart, regardless of distance.
Attunements happen on an energetic level and are just as powerful as in-person sessions.
For many years, I have been guiding online courses with deep, touching experiences shared by my students.
The quiet atmosphere, protected space, and sense of openness often allow for an even more intense integration.
Questions about Reiki treatments
What sensations or perceptions can occur during the treatment?
You will feel the warmth and heat of my hands and the flow of the Reiki energy. During the treatment, you may experience tingling, vibrations, heat, or cold sensations in your body, or you may perceive images.
Many of my clients see a light, even though the room is dimmed at that moment 😉
Perhaps you will become so relaxed that you “float away” and embark on your own dream journey. Or you may not notice anything at all because you are deeply asleep.
Many of my clients who can never switch off their minds (even those suffering from insomnia) are surprised to find that, suddenly, they are not thinking about anything at all and are able to let go and deeply relax.
In this sense, every treatment can be different, depending on your emotional state, your current life situation, and so on.
Sometimes, the perceptions of the healer and the recipient may differ.
It is also possible that you only notice an effect after the treatment, or even not until the following days.
How long does a Reiki therapy session last?
The first treatment usually lasts 90 minutes, including the initial consultation and discussion. Subsequent treatment sessions can vary from 30 to 90 minutes.
How often someone comes for Reiki treatment depends on the particular blockage or stress level.
Ideally, at the beginning, you should have 3–5 treatments at relatively short intervals, depending on the type and severity of the condition.
These short intervals give your body and its self-healing abilities the necessary boost and momentum to bring your system back into balance. If you come for Reiki “only” for relaxation and prevention, I recommend a session every few weeks.
For children, elderly or seriously ill people, end-of-life care, and animals, half an hour is usually sufficient for a treatment. Otherwise, shorter sessions of around 30 minutes should generally be seen as a compromise when more time simply isn’t available. This is discussed on a case-by-case basis and adapted to the individual situation.
I have also experienced spontaneous healings, but most of the time, the release of blockages or a noticeable change occurs after a few sessions. Ideally, you would receive Reiki every day, but unfortunately, this is rarely practical. Therefore, when there are blockages, I recommend having a session once a week at the beginning, if possible.
The duration of the Reiki therapy is discussed and explained together during the appointment.
It is important that YOU always decide how often you would like to come, and that I simply offer you suggestions and inspiration.
You can never receive too much Reiki, and if you learn Reiki yourself, you will treat yourself at least daily for 21 days after the course. Even afterwards, it would be beneficial to receive Reiki as often as possible.
You can compare it to recharging in nature. There is no such thing as too much when it comes to receiving the healing energy of nature.
And Reiki is 100% natural and energy.
Is there a cleaning process after the treatment?
As you may already know from homeopathy, acupuncture, or naturopathy, Reiki can also cause what is known as an “initial aggravation” of symptoms after the first treatment (as can occur after Reiki attunements during Reiki courses). These symptoms should subside again after about a day.
During the body’s cleansing process following a Reiki treatment, increased sweating, diarrhea, frequent urination, or increased tiredness may occur.
In most cases, the reaction manifests itself where your blockage is or was.
These reactions are normal and even POSITIVE. They indicate that your body is mobilizing its self-healing abilities and initiating the healing process.
It is therefore very important to ensure adequate and sensible fluid intake so that all waste products and toxins can be flushed out.
YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING WRONG WITH REIKI
Reiki works optimally for your greatest benefit. Relax and enjoy. Trust Reiki.
When Reiki flows, it flows “wisely.” It is an intelligent and loving energy that always finds its way to wherever it is most urgently needed. This is why it is also so important to gradually learn to trust your own intuition. Our intuition goes far beyond our limited intellect and is, so to speak, the source of our wisdom. When we learn to trust our “gut feeling,” we also always know what is good and what is bad for ourselves and others. Act through letting go!
Reiki works as naturally and effortlessly as our body functions day in and day out. However, one should certainly have respect and reverence for Reiki energy and never impose a Reiki treatment on someone purely out of selfishness or try to force them into anything. This also applies to distance treatments, which can be used from the second level of Reiki attunement onwards.
Everyone has the right to decide for themselves whether and when they want to receive Reiki, and we must respect that, regardless of whether we consider their decision right or wrong.
Reiki energy is non-judgmental and free of dogma, and this is something I, too, fully embrace.

Many health insurance providers cover Reiki treatments.
Are Reiki treatments covered by health insurance?
It is difficult to give a general answer to this, as it always depends on the individual health insurance provider and the coverage included in the policyholder’s insurance plan. In many cases, however, Reiki sessions are covered by supplementary insurance.
It is recommended that you contact your health insurance provider directly to obtain accurate information.
I always issue a receipt, which can be submitted to the health insurance provider after the treatment.
Does a Reiki treatment replace a visit to the doctor?
Definitely not: Reiki does not replace a visit to the doctor or any medically prescribed treatment!
However, Reiki is a wonderful tool for activating the body’s self-healing abilities and may contribute to a faster recovery alongside conventional medical treatment, while generally providing positive support.
Reiki can also be combined very well with other alternative healing methods.
I have already had the privilege of witnessing miraculous recoveries in coma patients and in people with other illnesses considered “incurable,” which continues to deeply move me.
Can Reiki be combined with other types of treatment?
Yes, Reiki can be used alongside any alternative or Western medical therapies, as Reiki activates the body’s self-healing abilities.
In my practice, Reiki can be combined with Polarity or Aura-Soma.
Reiki can also be provided as a distance treatment.
Questions about Reiki training
Why is my Reiki course special?
Reiki with Depth & Tradition — I am one of the few teachers in the German-speaking world who pass on Reiki through a direct lineage to Dr. Mikao Usui.
My knowledge is rooted in the original Japanese tradition, complemented by Tibetan techniques, decades of practical experience, and my work with countless people.
My training stands for depth, quality, and authenticity, based on more than 20 years of experience, a lovingly designed practice in the heart of Zurich, intensive personal guidance in small groups, and comprehensive course materials.
Every student should be able to truly understand, feel, and live Reiki. This level of quality can now also be reflected in the pricing.
Traditional Reiki Training in Zurich & Online
My courses are practical, personalized, and in-depth. You will learn traditional Reiki techniques such as Kenyoku, Scanning, Beaming, Byosen, Gassho, Hatsurei Hō, and much more.
I also incorporate topics such as nutrition, beliefs, manifestation, and the power of thought, so that you can integrate Reiki into your life in a holistic and conscious way.

What dietary recommendations are there during training?
For an optimal experience during the training, I recommend a healthy, fresh, and balanced diet, as well as being mindful of your use of alcohol, nicotine, drugs, coffee, and other stimulating or physically burdensome substances. Decaffeinated coffee is generally fine.
The reason is that such influences can affect our perception, concentration, sensitivity, as well as our physical and energetic well-being.
The clearer and more balanced the body and mind are, the easier it is to consciously perceive the energies and training content and to have your own experiences without external influences distorting them.
Caffeine can affect the body even in small amounts.
It affects the nervous system, increases alertness, and can constrict blood vessels as well as alter heart rate and blood pressure.
Even a single cup of coffee can be noticeable in sensitive individuals. At the same time, abruptly stopping caffeine after regular coffee consumption can lead to headaches, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, or restlessness, as the blood vessels dilate again and the body adjusts.
I therefore recommend consciously avoiding coffee and other caffeinated beverages for several days before the training begins, or gradually reducing your intake. This allows the body to adjust and helps you experience the training as calmly as possible, without withdrawal symptoms.
This is not about rules, deprivation, or perfection. Rather, these recommendations are intended to support the clearest, most stable, and most finely balanced physical and energetic state possible, so that you can better open yourself to your own perception, your vibration and frequency, and the content of the training.
This creates the best possible conditions for your learning success, personal development, and deeper experiences during the training.

Yes. The EMR quality label is the seal of quality awarded by the Empirical Medicine Register (ErfahrungsMedizinisches Register).

The EMR quality label has been recognized throughout Switzerland for 20 years and helps anyone interested in complementary and empirical medicine find their way through the field.
Aspiring therapists can accumulate training hours from my Reiki courses in order to become registered with the EMR themselves. They need approximately 200 hours of continuing education per year to remain registered with the EMR.

How are the different course lengths and prices determined?
With over 20 years of experience in Reiki, my training in England and Switzerland, and my teaching of Japanese/Tibetan Reiki according to its origins and traditions, complemented by further training and experience (see here) spanning more than 30 years, I am able to provide my students with in-depth and comprehensive knowledge of Reiki.
In addition to fundamental techniques such as Kenyoku, Scanning, Beaming, Byōsen, Gasshō, Hatsurei Hō, etc., as well as energy work involving the aura and chakras, I also integrate other aspects such as nutrition, the laws of attraction, the power of thought, and much more into my courses (see course content).
I was exceptionally fortunate to learn from Sharon, who worked with Frank Arjava Petter and William Lee Rand.
This enabled me to learn the traditional Japanese Reiki system Usui Shiki Ryōhō according to the teachings of Dr. Mikao Usui, as well as Tibetan Reiki and numerous Japanese techniques.
This experience enables me to offer traditional Reiki in Zurich and online. The positive feedback from my students, many of whom had previously learned Reiki from other teachers, confirms the quality of my training.
In the past, a Reiki course generally lasted two days. Nowadays, this is no longer necessary, as information about the history of Reiki, the workings of chakras and the aura, etc., is readily available in books and online.
Nevertheless, I cover these topics extensively in my courses.
In addition, participants receive comprehensive course materials (25–40 pages, depending on the level), access to community groups, and a handmade diploma with a seal. They also receive access to exclusive content on my website under EXCLUSIVELY FOR STUDENTS.
To ensure that I teach and train as a Reiki teacher according to the traditional method of Dr. Mikao Usui, I maintain a verifiable Reiki lineage (or Reiki family tree). The direct lineage to Dr. Mikao Usui can be viewed here.
Since 2020, I have also offered online courses, giving even more people the opportunity to benefit from my extensive knowledge and many years of experience.
My courses take place in small, personal groups, allowing me to respond individually to each participant. After each level (attunement), participants carry out a 21-day self-treatment at home to sustainably integrate the energy.

Does a Reiki course work online, too?
Yes, absolutely! Energy knows no boundaries of space or time. That is why Reiki and energy work can also be powerful and perceptible over distance, both in treatments and in teaching.
“The field structure of space is nothing other than the medium through which physical effects are transmitted.”
Albert Einstein
I have also been teaching Reiki online for many years, with very positive feedback and profound experiences from participants. The energy transmissions (attunements) work just as they do in person, because Reiki is not transmitted physically but received on an energetic level.
