Frequently Asked Questions

Reiki and Energy Work

Q: What is Reiki and how does it work?

A: Reiki is a gentle, hands-on healing technique that channels universal energy to balance your body, mind, and spirit. It can help reduce stress, relieve pain, and promote overall well-being.

 

Q: What can I expect during a Reiki session?

A: During a session, you will be comfortably positioned while I channel energy to support your body’s natural healing process. Many clients feel deeply relaxed and report a sense of peace, clarity, and rejuvenation.

 

Q: What is Shamanic Reiki, and how is it different from traditional Reiki?

A: Shamanic Reiki integrates traditional energy healing with shamanic practices, allowing for a deeper spiritual connection and the release of emotional and energetic patterns. This approach can enhance your personal growth and spiritual journey.

 

End-of-Life Doula Services

Q: What does a death doula do?

A: A death doula supports individuals and families during the transition from life to death. Much like a birth doula helps a person transition into this world, I help people transition out of this world. I offer emotional, physical, and spiritual support, creating a peaceful, dignified space for the dying process. Services can include advance care planning, comfort care, guiding loved ones through the final moments, and offering grief support for the family after death.

 

Q: How can death doula services benefit me or my family?

A: My support can ease the stress of end-of-life transitions by offering a safe space for discussions, planning, and honouring the process. This compassionate care helps create meaningful moments and a dignified experience.

​

Q: At what point is a death doula usually hired?

A: An End-of-Life Doula can be hired at any point during the end-of-life journey, but most families choose to reach out when they begin to feel they could use additional support. This might be during advance care planning, when a loved one is nearing the end of their life, or even after death for grief support. The role is flexible, meeting families where they are and offering compassionate assistance every step of the way.

​

Q: Can a death doula help me access Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD)?

A: A death doula provides nonjudgmental support and guidance for individuals navigating end-of-life decisions, including those considering MAiD. While it is not within a doula’s scope to encourage or persuade a client toward any particular choice, I can provide information and direct you to the appropriate resources to ensure you have access to accurate and compassionate support. My role is to honour your autonomy and offer emotional, spiritual, and practical assistance throughout your journey.

​

Session Preparation and Personalization

Q: How do I know if your services are right for me?

A: If you're seeking a deeper spiritual connection, healing, or compassionate end-of-life support, my services may be a good fit. I offer a free 15-minute discovery call to answers any questions you have about doula services and to help determine whether we’d like to work together.

 

Q: How should I prepare for a session?

A: For Reiki sessions, wear comfortable clothing and try to relax before your appointment. For death doula support, consider any questions or topics you’d like to address during our conversation. I also recommend coming with an open mind and a willingness to explore your inner journey.

 

Practical Details

Q: What is the typical duration of a session and what does it cost?
