Common Questions & What to Expect
How do I know what session to book?
You don’t have to know exactly what you need before you begin. If you’re unsure, you’re welcome to start with a free consultation or reach out and share a little about what you’re looking for. From there, we can explore whether a Just Be Session or an Embodied Reiki Journey™ feels like the best place to start. There’s no pressure to have it all figured out.
What is a Just Be Session?
A Just Be Session is a client-led, trauma-informed session using the Just Be Method™. Each session begins with a conversation about how you’re feeling and what’s present for you in the moment. From there, the session is guided by what feels supportive and present. This may include embodiment practices, grounding, breath awareness, honest conversation, guided meditation, or the Embodied Reiki Journey™. Everything is approached at your pace, with a focus on noticing what’s present rather than needing to figure anything out.
What is the Just Be Method™?
The Just Be Method™ is a guided, experiential approach to working with: Stress, overwhelm, and nervous system responses Mental overwhelm and looping thoughts, physical tension held in the body, and patterns that keep repeating in daily life. This isn’t about fixing or analyzing everything. Instead, you’re supported in: Slowing down in a way that actually feels possible, noticing where tension, emotion, or stress is showing up in your body, being gently guided to stay with those sensations— in a way that can support your nervous system in settling, rather than ignoring or overriding them. So instead of trying to “just be", you’re guided into a state where being begins to feel more accessible.
What can I expect during a session?
Every session begins with a check-in. We may talk about what’s been coming up for you, how you’re feeling, or what’s present in your experience that day. From there, the session unfolds at your pace. Sometimes we may stay in conversation. Other times, we may move into embodiment practices, grounding, guided meditation, or Reiki support. You may spend part of the session in a quiet, inward-focused experience, or we may return to conversation and reflect on what you noticed. Nothing is forced. You don’t have to perform, explain everything, or know exactly what to say.
What is the Embodied Reiki Journey™ ?
The Embodied Reiki Journey™ is a guided, body-led meditation experience with Reiki offered as a supportive element. Each session is created in the moment and follows what feels present and supportive for you. This experience invites you to slow down, settle, and connect with what’s happening in your body without needing to talk, analyze, or figure anything out. You don’t need experience with meditation or an understanding of Reiki. You simply get to lie back, listen, and receive support.
Is energy work included in Just Be Sessions?
Sometimes, yes. Energy work may be included when it feels supportive to what’s present in the session. This may look like Reiki being gently woven into a guided meditation, grounding, or a body-based practice. Nothing is ever required or forced. You are always welcome to choose what feels comfortable for you.
Are all sessions the same?
No. Each session is unique because each person and each moment is different. Some sessions may feel more reflective. Some may be more body-based. Some may feel quiet and restorative. Some may include conversation, meditation, or Reiki. We follow what feels present and supportive in the moment.
Are sessions virtual and how can I prepare for a virtual session?
Yes. Sessions are primarily held virtually, allowing you to receive support from the comfort of your own space. Limited in-person sessions may also be available in Royersford, PA. If you are interested in meeting in person, you are welcome to ask about current availability when reaching out. For virtual sessions, you may want to find a quiet, comfortable place where you won’t be interrupted. You might choose to have water nearby, wear comfortable clothing, and sit or lie down—especially if the session includes meditation or Reiki support. There’s nothing you need to prepare or get “right.” You’re welcome to simply arrive as you are.
Do I need to talk about my past?
No. You are never required to share anything you don’t want to share. This work isn’t about going through every detail of your past. We focus on what’s present in your experience and what you’re noticing in the moment. You are always in choice.
Is this therapy?
No. This work is not therapy and does not diagnose, treat, or replace mental health care. Sessions are client-led and supportive, focused on body awareness, present-moment experience, grounding, and reconnecting with yourself. If you are currently working with a therapist or medical provider, this work can be a supportive complement, but it is not a substitute for professional mental health care.
Can I do this if I am already in therapy and/or taking medication?
Yes. Many people choose to receive this kind of support alongside working with a therapist, doctor, or other provider. I do not provide medical or mental health advice, diagnose conditions, or replace professional care. If you have questions about whether this is a good fit for you, you’re welcome to check in with your licensed provider.
Do I need to believe in Reiki to participate?
No. You don’t need to believe anything specific or have any prior experience with Reiki to participate. This work is about creating space for your body to slow down, settle, and reconnect—not about believing in a concept. Reiki, when included, is offered as a gentle, supportive layer within the experience, but the focus is always on what feels safe and helpful for you. You’re welcome to take what resonates and leave what doesn’t.
The Why Behind the Design
Throughout The Embodiment Journey, every visual detail—from the colors to the shapes—was chosen with intention. These elements aren’t just decorative. They reflect the heart of this work: slowing down, reconnecting, and moving forward in a way that feels grounded and true. Here’s what they represent:
The Arrow: A symbol of forward motion
The arrow in my logo is more than a design—it reflects the nature of personal growth and moving forward. Before an arrow can move forward, it must first be drawn back. That backward movement isn’t failure—it’s preparation. It mirrors how growth often feels: slowing the down, turning inward, and gathering strength before moving forward with clarity and intention. In this way, the arrow represents both patience and progress. Arrows also carry layered meaning: Direction & Purpose — Moving forward with intention, rather than feeling stuck or lost Focus — Like an archer taking aim, this asks for presence and attention Protection — Creating a sense of safety within yourself Transformation — Growth, change, and becoming Strength — Drawing on inner resilience to move through what’s been held Even the feathers symbolize guidance, steadiness, and trust in your own path. In my logo, the double-tipped arrow reflects balance and reciprocity—the flow of support between practitioner and client, and the connection between where you’ve been and where you’re going. To me, the arrow is a reminder that every part of your experience—even the pauses, even the moments that feel like stepping back—is part of your movement forward.
The Dandelion: A symbol of resilience and joy
Dandelions are more than just a symbol in my logo—they reflect the heart of The Embodiment Journey. To me, they represent resilience and quiet strength. They grow in unexpected places—through cracks in concrete, in spaces that seem unlikely—and still find a way to rise and bloom. There’s something familiar about a dandelion. Many of us remember picking one, making a wish, and watching the seeds drift into the air. It’s simple, but meaningful—a moment of hope, possibility, and connection. In the same way, healing doesn’t have to be forceful or complicated. It can begin in small, gentle moments—through noticing, feeling, and allowing what’s already there. Every part of the dandelion serves a purpose, just like every part of your experience holds meaning. Nothing is wasted. Nothing is “too much” or “not enough.” To me, the dandelion reflects the people I work with—resilient, capable, and continuing to rise, even when it hasn’t felt easy.
The Colors: Calming the path within
The colors throughout The Embodiment Journey were chosen with intention. They aren’t just aesthetic—they’re meant to reflect the feeling of the space and the way I approach this work. Teal represents steadiness and balance. Blending the calm of blue with the grounding qualities often associated with green, it reflects the supportive, grounded nature of this work. Purple reflects depth, awareness, and inner connection—a reminder to slow down, turn inward, and reconnect with yourself in your own way. Across the site, you’ll notice softer, muted tones. I chose these intentionally to create a calm, welcoming visual environment that feels gentle rather than overstimulating. The slightly brighter tones in the logo create a gentle focal point, representing clarity, possibility, and forward movement. Together, these colors reflect what The Embodiment Journey is about: slowing down, reconnecting, and moving forward at your own pace.
