Is there a minimum number of sessions I need to book?

No. A single session gives you a sense of what Reiki feels like, and some people stop there. If you are dealing with something that has been building for a while, research on repeated sessions found that eight or more, each an hour or longer, produced the best results, which is the reasoning behind the three and five-session packages here.

How often can I give myself Reiki once I'm trained?

There's no set frequency. Once you've completed training, some people practise for a few minutes most days, others use it only when something specific is going on, like a bad night or a tense week. Both are normal. The training gives you the tool; how often you use it afterwards is entirely up to you.

Does pregnancy Reiki follow the same kind of schedule?

Pregnancy Reiki here is adapted trimester by trimester rather than booked to a fixed weekly plan, because what feels right in the first trimester is often different from what feels right closer to the due date. Sessions can be booked as needed as pregnancy progresses.

How often should you practise Reiki?

If you are coming in for sessions

One session is enough to get a feel for it, and for some people that is exactly right. If you are carrying something that built up over months, stress that will not switch off or a body that will not settle at night, coming back more than once tends to go further than a single visit. A 2025 review of eleven randomised trials, 661 people in total, found that sessions of an hour or more, taken eight or more times, produced the biggest improvement in quality of life. That is the honest case for a package rather than a one-off.

A separate study, 1,411 sessions across 99 practitioners, asked people what they noticed afterwards: better sleep, less pain, more appetite, a steadier mood. There was no control group in that study, so it shows what people reported rather than what Reiki caused, but it lines up with what people who come back more than once tend to say here too.

Sessions here run one to one in Canggu or by distance, as a single visit or as a three or five-session package. A package lets you space sessions out over a few weeks and notice how you respond, rather than judging the whole thing on one hour.

If you are training to do it yourself

Once you have been through Level 1 training, Reiki stops being something you book and becomes something you do. Most people settle into their own rhythm after that: some sit with it for a few minutes most days, others pick it up when something specific is going on, a rough night or shoulders that will not drop. There is no minimum session count here and nothing to get wrong. The training hands you the manual, the attunement and support afterwards; the rhythm you build with it is yours.

Let it follow how you feel, not a calendar

Across both sessions and self-practice, the honest answer is that frequency follows the person rather than a fixed schedule. Pregnancy Reiki is a good example: sessions are adapted trimester by trimester rather than run on a set weekly plan, because what a pregnant body needs in week ten is not what it needs in week thirty-four. The same logic applies more generally. If you would rather have a strict weekly protocol handed to you on day one, that is a fair thing to want, and this is not that kind of practice.

What tends to work is paying attention to what brought you here in the first place, disrupted sleep or a jaw that will not unclench, and using that as your signal rather than the date on a calendar. This piece goes through those signs in more detail if you are trying to work out whether now is the moment for a session or a bit of self-practice.
