REIKI SESSIONS

Reiki works as a relaxation technique, bringing your parasympathetic nervous system into action (your 'rest & digest' state). It works alongside the chakra system (energetic bodies) to activate your mental, emotional, physical and spiritual states; inviting you face to your most authentic self and continue your healing journey in a non-invasive way.

I am trained in Usui Reiki healing, and love sharing this modality with those who feel called to it.

A virtual Reiki session can be just as powerful as an in-person as energy can travel through time and space (quantum physics even says so) and it's from the comfort of your own home (done over Zoom).

Some benefits to virtual reiki:

• if you live far from my studio in Port Colborne, ON, you can still book a session with me

• you don't have to stress about traffic, even if you do live near the studio

• in seasons with poor weather conditions (winter), you don't have to drive in potentially poor weather (no need to stress yourself out in order to receive this healing)

• if you are pregnant and in the third trimester and want to stay comfy at home with your own pillows, you can

• if you are sick, or unable to visit in person, this is still available to you

• if you have animals at home and you'd like to have them in the room with you

• if you are travelling or on the road for work, and still want to maintain your energetic practices

• if you want to be in a different setting than I am (the beach, forest, etc); anywhere that has a stable internet connection

• if you are uncomfortable with in-person sessions

• if you simply prefer the 'distant' method vs in-person

When you decide on the type of session (in-person or virtual), click onto it to bring up the calendar to choose your date and time based on the availability on the schedule.

Once a date and time are picked, you will be prompted to create a login (or login if one is already created), in order to make payment.

• YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A CONFIRMATION CODE WITH A PASSWORD, PLEASE BE SURE TO HIT "FORGOT PASSWORD" TO CREATE A NEW ONE TO GAIN ACCESS TO YOUR ACCOUNT

Upon purchasing your session, you will have a choice of a non-recorded session ($127) or a recorded session ($147). In-person recordings are an .MP3 audio version and virtual recordings are a video version of our post-session discussion ONLY and will be emailed to you within 2 business days of our session.

Your date and time are only officially scheduled in once a purchase has been made successfully.

Once fully booked, you'll receive automatic updates with more details about your session at the following times:

• The first email is received immediately upon booking and includes the booking confirmation with session details (studio location & parking details if in person, or the Zoom link & passcode if virtual). This email also includes a confidential intake form, a method I use to gain better understanding of why you are booking the session and what your needs might be. It's not meant to be comprehensive, so shouldn't take longer than 2 - 3 minutes to fill out.

• The second email is received 24 hours prior to your session date & time and includes more details about what to expect during your session. It will also include a reminder of session details (location or link depending on service booked).

• A text is sent to the phone number you register with and is received 4 hours prior to your session as a general reminder of the session type, date and time. It does not include session details so be sure to keep your emails on file as a reference.

Please be sure to read the cancellation policy for terms & conditions surrounding late arrivals, missed appointments or rescheduling policies.

You can book as often as you'd like, however, I suggest giving at least 4 weeks in between appointments to allow yourself to integrate into this new energy.

I recommend booking every 8-12 weeks to keep up with your energetic maintenance.

You will receive an email upon booking that includes details of what to expect in your session, however, for clarity on if this is for you, I've provided some tips below:

• empty your bladder prior to the start of your session, so as not to feel disrupted during your session

• wear comfortable, loose-fitted clothing during your session

• you can be seated or laying down in a comfortable position

• have a blanket nearby in case you get cold

• be sure to drink more water than usual before and after your session

• you may want to have a notebook & writing utensil handy to journal anything out after the session

• give yourself about 15 minutes or so after your session to just be with yourself and allow your body to acclimate back to your environment (a "no phone zone", if you will)

Specific Tips for In-Person Reiki sessions:

• please wear as minimal perfumes as possible

• I also provide clean, comfortable and locally handcrafted eye pillows as an option to use during your treatment (multiple options: heavy, light, scented, non-scented)

• I will provide a recommendation of where to go after the session; in summer months, I highly recommend sitting by the lake post-treatment

Specific Tips for Virtual Reiki sessions:

• log on a few minutes early to your session to ensure a stable internet connection

All sessions are private and confidential (both in person and virtual).

Virtual Sessions:

The Zoom link provided requires a passcode to enter, and as the host I control who enters the session (which will only be you)!

Due to the nature of the session and for privacy reasons, the reiki portion of the session is not recorded.

I do offer recordings of our post-session discussion, and this is an optional service. If you do not wish to purchase it, you are more than welcome to bring your own notebook and pen to take additional notes.

I offer audio and video recordings of our post-session discussion. This means that once you we wrap up the reiki healing portion of the session, I will hit record on my microphone/Zoom in order to record our conversation of what came up for you & I. This audio is considered private & confidential and will not be used in marketing or promotional use, nor will it be shared with anyone but the client via the email on file that was used to book the session (unless otherwise requested at time of session). In-Person sessions will receive an audio file (an .MP3 version), and Virtual sessions will receive a video file. These recordings will be ready and emailed within 2 business days after your session.

This is an optional service that is paid for at the time of booking. This is so I know to set up the microphone ahead of time.

If you do not wish to purchase it, you are more than welcome to bring your own notebook and pen to take additional notes.

Due to the nature of the session and for privacy reasons, the intro & reiki portion of the session is not recorded.

Most people find their first session a little challenging to fully relax into, but after a few sessions can find themselves easing in quicker each time.

Each session is so different and unique, based on where you're at.

During your session, we will take the first few minutes to connect. Once the Reiki portion of the session begins, it is a time for you to go within and for me to tap into your energetic field to restore your energy centres. Please note, I do NOT take energy from you, and I do NOT give you my energy. I am simply a vessel for Reiki "life force energy" to transfer through from Source, to you. Think of it as the highest form of consciousness; love. There is no conversation during the Reiki portion of my sessions.

You may experience:

• deep relaxation into a meditative state, where you think you've fallen asleep

• emotions bubble up that have been repressed (think: laughing, crying, a 'heaviness' or grief of sorts...there is no judgment as to what comes out)

• physical aches or pains relieving themselves

• a lightness upon ending the session, like a load has been lifted off your shoulders (you may come out of the session feeling relaxed, realigned, and reconnected)

• some people may not 'feel' anything at all - which is totally normal, too!

We will end the session connecting on your experience vs what I felt as a practitioner, and I will leave you with at least one (sometimes two) tangible piece(s) of homework so you have something to continue working on until our next session (because you will be back)!

If I feel called, I may pull a card, use crystals, or bring out singing bowls/tuning forks to assist in the experience - I will always ask for consent before our session begins if you are ok with additional tools being utilized in session.

Sometimes, Spirit decides to make an appearance; this can be your Inner Child, Higher Self, or a loved one who has passed (I have also had living spirits come through to say hi or send a message). There is no guarantee that this will occur, and it is always a fun surprise when they come through.

Please do your best to show up on time; I understand things come up so I ask to be notified a minimum of 24 hours prior to our scheduled session as there is a lot of preparation done to ensure you receive the utmost attention & care during your session.

24+ Hours Notice
If you cannot make your session and notify me with 24 hours or more before your scheduled date & time, I will happily reschedule or cancel with no fees or penalties.

Under 24 Hours Notice
If you cannot make your session and notify me with less than 24 hours before your scheduled date & time, I will happily reschedule or cancel your appointment, however, a $55 fee applies. The remaining amount of your session fee can either be refunded or credited to a future appointment. I will email you within 2 business days after your scheduled appointment date & time, to confirm which option you'd prefer.

Running Late
If you are running late by less than 20 minutes, we will run with the amount of time left in your session. If this is the case, know that your session will be affected and either the reiki piece or the discussion will be cut short and you will not receive the full benefits of this session. If you are more than 20 minutes late and have not reached out to me to let me know, it will be considered a no show. Please refer to no-show policy below for more details. No partial / full refunds or credits will be made for these circumstances. If this is a recurring situation, 7 C Studios reserves the right to decline any future bookings.

If you are running late, please send me an email at: hello@7cstudios.com or a message on IG: @7c_studios

No Shows or No Notice
If you do not show and do not provide notification at all, there will be no partial / full refunds made, and no credit to any future appointments. If this is a recurring situation, 7 C Studios reserves the right to decline any future bookings.

Emergencies
There is a mutual understanding that emergencies can happen on either end. If this is the case, the client will reach out to Katelyn to advise, and together, plan a course of action that works for both parties. If this is the case on the practitioners end, Katelyn will reach out promptly to advise and work together to find the next best date and time to reschedule, or a credit will be put on file.
