REIKI
Still the mind. Restore the body. Open the heart.
Reiki is a gentle Japanese healing practice that works with your body's natural life force energy - supporting you in returning to balance across body, mind, and spirit.
What is Reiki?
A Deeper Kind of Care
At the heart of this practice is a simple truth: healing isn’t something done to you - it’s something that unfolds within you. Reiki works with your body, your nervous system, and your subtle energy field, guiding you into a state of deep rest where your natural healing intelligence can reawaken. Using the chakra system as a living map, each session goes beyond surface symptoms to support the emotional, psychological, and energetic layers beneath them.
Rooted in the traditional Usui lineage developed in early twentieth-century Japan, this work is both a healing modality and a path of self-awareness. Whether you’re moving through stress, grief, illness, or the quiet weight of everyday life, Reiki creates space to meet what’s underneath - and gently return to yourself.
REIKI SESSION TYPES
New Client Session
75 minutes
$135
Your first session begins with a brief intro to Reiki and a conversation about your goals, followed by 55 minutes of gentle, hands-on (of off if you prefer) Reiki. We close with a chat about your experience, what came up, and how best to move forward.
Follow-Up Session
60 minutes
$125
Each follow-up session begins with a brief check-in about what's come up since we last met, then moves straight into hands-on Reiki, attuned to how you're feeling that day, and giving extra attention wherever you need it most.
In-Home Session
75 minutes
(regular cost + location-dependent travel fee)
Enjoy the benefits of Reiki in the comfort of your own home. I come to your space and provide a full Reiki session designed to reduce stress, restore balance, and support your well-being. All you need is a quiet area where you can relax - everything else is taken care of for you.
Distance/Remote
60 minutes
$110
Reiki transcends distance - receive the same calming, restorative benefits from the comfort of your own space. I connect with your energy field remotely to release stress, restore balance, and support your body's natural healing. All you need is a quiet place to relax.
What to Expect During a Session
You'll be invited to lie comfortably on the treatment table with a soft cotton eye pillow to help you turn inward. Cozy blankets are always available. From there, you simply receive.
Hands placed lightly on your body move through a series of positions, front to back, following the natural flow of energy through your system. There is nothing to do, figure out, or understand.
People experience Reiki in their own way. Some feel warmth or a gentle tingling. Some move through waves of deep relaxation, or find emotions rising and releasing - things the body has long been holding, finally given space to move. Others drop into a stillness that feels less like sleep and more like coming home. Occasionally, people perceive colors or light as energy shifts through the chakras.
Every experience is valid. Every session is different. Every person arrives exactly as they are.
Reiki simply meets you there - supporting what is already within you.

Megan Dahlia
My work bridges ancient healing traditions and modern life, guided by the belief that the body, mind, and spirit are always moving toward healing when supported by the right conditions.
Whether you are seeking physical relief, emotional clarity, or to cultivate a sense of lasting calm, these sessions provide a grounded space to explore your healing. Each session is held with intention to help you move toward greater balance and ease.
This work transformed my life, and I built Dahlia Energetics with the hope that it may do the same for you.
“I had my first session last night and words cannot express how much Megan helped me, not only through the healing with Reiki, but also taking the time to listen to what I needed, my goals and intentions, and providing very solid recommendations tailored to help me with chronic insomnia. Her space is lovely, comfortable, and peaceful. I am so looking forward to continuing my journey with her.”

Reiki Session FAQs
-
Not at all. Many clients come in skeptical (I certainly did my first time) and still leave feeling deeply relaxed, refreshed, and experience a wide range of other benefits. An open mind is helpful, but belief isn't required.
-
Everyone is different. Some common, felt experiences are that of subtle pulsation, warmth, tingling, emotional release, and deep relaxation. Though less common, some people see colors. After your session, you may feel a sense of lightness in body and mind and a general sense of well being.
-
Sessions typically run 75 minutes. This includes a brief intake conversation at the start, followed by 55 minutes of hands-on Reiki, and a few minutes to reorient and discuss the session afterward.
-
Most clients feel calm, rested, and clear-headed. Some experience a gentle detox effect in the day or two following. Drinking plenty of water helps.
-
I wrote a blog post on this: What is Reiki, Really?
-
Reiki is not affiliated with any religion. People of all faiths, and no faith, receive and enjoy Reiki. It is a complementary wellness practice, not a belief system.
-
Yes. Reiki is gentle and non-invasive with no known side effects. It is safe for all ages, including children, pregnant women, and the elderly, and can complement any medical treatment. Unlike some other energetic modalities, Reiki can do no harm, only heal.
-
Yes. While I generally use light touch, if you would prefer, Reiki can be just as effectively performed with hands slightly above your body.
-
This is completely individual. You are welcome to see me once, or on an ongoing basis depending on your needs and goals. For acute issues, 3 sessions in 3 consecutive weeks is what I find to be most effective.
-
Yes! Reiki energy is not limited by time or space. It can be shared and received across any distance. Many people report experiencing the same relaxation, emotional release, and energetic shifts from distance Reiki as they do in person. The effectiveness depends less on physical proximity and more on the openness of the recipient and the practitioner’s focus.
-
I currently offer in-home Reiki sessions within in Durham, Raleigh, and Cary, NC. If you're just outside my primary area, reach out - I may still be able to accommodate you depending on scheduling and distance. Include your address when booking, or contact me, and I will let you know the travel fee.

Simply create a quiet, comfortable space where you can relax without distractions. You may want to dim the lights or have a blanket nearby. Wear loose, comfortable clothing and avoid heavy meals or alcohol beforehand. There’s nothing specific you must do. The most important thing is to come with an open mind and a willingness to receive. As for location in your home, clients often choose to lie comfortably on their sofa or bed. I can also bring my treatment table along if you would prefer.
-
Yes. There is a small step up at the threshold which I can help you with, but my studio is on the first floor.
-
You should wear whatever you’re most comfortable in. Reiki is performed fully clothed, so I do not suggest bulky or drapey materials. Minimal jewelry is recommended and I ask that you remove smart watches prior to beginning as they can be distracting. I have blankets available for additional comfort or if you become cold.
