It might also help boost circulation, improve mood, reduce nausea, enhance breathing, and optimize overall physical and mental well-being.

Am I a candidate for Reiki?

Paulina meets with you for a mental health evaluation to determine which holistic treatments are the most appropriate. She uses DSM-5 criteria to discuss any past trauma and your: 

• Moods 
• Emotions 
• Thoughts 
• Behaviors
• Lifestyle 

Healing Moon also offers one-on-one yoga sessions with Paulina. Many people benefit from participating in both yoga and Reiki, as well as therapy.

What happens during Reiki sessions?

During one-on-one Reiki sessions at Healing Moon, Paulina places her hands on certain areas on or just above your body to support healing and improved energy flow. She might also use massage techniques to ease tension and play relaxing music with the lights dimmed. 

You will become fully relaxed during Reiki sessions, which typically last about 30-60 minutes. During and after Reiki sessions, you can expect to remain in a state of calm. You might immediately feel less stressed, anxious, or depressed. 

You can participate in yoga, individual therapy, or family therapy sessions with Paulina to further support your healing journey.

How often should I participate in Reiki?

Holistic treatments at Healing Moon vary from person to person. You might complete Reiki sessions with Paulina weekly or as needed, along with other methods to heal physically, mentally, or emotionally. She customizes a plan offering effective and lasting results.

To maximize wellness outcomes, it’s helpful to stay active, eat a balanced diet, and get plenty of sleep. Minimize stressors in your life and consider deep breathing, meditation, or other forms of relaxation techniques regularly at home between sessions with Paulina.
