I had the privilege of receiving Cheryl's healing gifts. Prior to my session with her I'd only had limited experiences with reiki in group sessions. This was my first individual session. When I called to book my appointment, Cheryl provided instructions on what to expect and things to do/ not do prior to the session. When I arrived, we briefly went over my wellness intake form in which she certain lifestyle questions and about current challenges. She was patient with me and helped me feel comfortable. Since I didn't really know how reiki works, she explained that energy moves through the chakras and she explained the function of each chakra. I found it very interesting.
I personally really liked that Cheryl incorporated spirituality but she made it clear that this was, of course, optional and only to the extent I felt comfortable. The session was an hour long. She started to with some guided imagery for grounding then called on her spirit guides and angels to assist. I'm not normally super "woo woo" but I went in really open minded and I think that allowed me to get the full benefit. I could actually feel in my body as she was working the energy responding and moving around. She explained that you sometimes have temperature changes in response. The whole time this happened I felt relaxed and I was just trusting in the process. Once we were done, she had me do some quick grounding again.
Cheryls also a life coach, so at the end of the session, she provided some tips on how I can get my chakras more in balance. This was really valuable for me and helped tie everything together. At the end, I felt noticeably lighter and more open. It was really profound and I couldn't believe the progress after just one session. read more
