Private Sessions
In recognition of widespread, longstanding, and ongoing discrimination and dehumanization based on skin color if you identify as BIPOC please feel free to choose an alternate exchange:
Reiki (BIPOC)| $70 USD | 60 min
Sound Bath + Reiki (BIPOC)| $100 USD | 75 min
Reiki | $120 USD | 60 min
Sound Bath + Reiki | $150 USD | 75 min
Sessions are collaborative. We start with curiosity and compassion.
Reiki - a subtle and profound energetic exploration of dis-ease (physical, emotional, spiritual) that invites systemic shifts.
Sound Bath + Reiki - clearing the path with sound supports arrival into the present; recommended for those new to energy work and all who need extra time to settle the mind & nervous system.
Sound Bath + Reiki + Crystal Transmission - a deep cosmic grounding; recommended for healers and empaths.
How to prepare for a session
Reiki will meet you where you are. For your comfort, here are a few suggestions:
wear loose comfortable clothes (you will remain fully dressed)
eat lightly & hydrate beforehand
clear space in your schedule for quiet time directly after a session, even a 5-minute walk before heading back to work/life/family will make a difference
WHAT TO EXPECT IN A SESSION
We begin with an optional short verbal check-in and/or meditation. What has brought you to Reiki, what do you hope to shift? Maybe you can articulate something tangible and specific…or maybe you can’t.
Sometimes all we know is that we need something - relief, space, support. A compassionate witness.
Our time together is sacred and confidential. You will be fully supported to show up as you are, without judgements or expectations for a certain outcome.
In-person sessions. You remain fully clothed and will receive Reiki on a massage table via light touch (think of a butterfly resting on a flower petal) & hovering of hands in the energetic fields close to the physical body. Comfort is essential, bolsters, blankets, and eye pillows are used to meet each body's needs.
During a session, many people slip into a deeply relaxing liminal state or even fall asleep. Some may feel a range of emotions bubble up, some may experience a release in the form of laughter and/or tears.
Virtual sessions. We connect via zoom, and you can choose a quiet comfortable spot at home to receive, in bed, on a couch, the floor. Virtual sessions combine the structure of a short, guided meditation with distance energy work; you can receive the benefit of Reiki no matter where you are located.
Direct touch is not necessary to receive the benefit of reiki. For in-person sessions you may opt for only hovering hands if you prefer no touch. Virtual sessions can be just as powerful as in-person sessions.
We close with 5-10 minutes of quiet integration. Time to process and integrate before you move on with your day is critical. This can be in silence or an opportunity for questions and dialogue.
Follow up. You can expect an email from me the day after to check in and see if you have any questions.
Kind Words

Just wanted to say thanks again for our session yesterday. I have NO menstrual cramps and few body aches which is totally unusual for me. My anxiety levels are almost zero which is also unusual, and I’ve been pretty focused and on-purpose today. That was a great session!

Regular reiki sessions with Betsy have been balancing and rejuvenating. A true healer, she is deeply caring and highly intuitive. She has a gift for connecting, often naturally attuning to areas within me that need attention. Betsy has a warm, calming presence and I would recommend working with her especially if you're new to reiki and are looking for a nurturing space that feels safe and welcoming.

Betsy is compassionate, easy to talk to and kind. The way she practices is gentle, but with powerful energy and real sincerity. I gave Reiki a try just on a whim but I find myself wanting more and more sessions with Betsy in my life.
