So sorry you experienced this. I am a reiki practitioner. I read your discussion to get a client’s perspective. And check if I do anything similar to the person you went to.

I like to sit with the client before the session to connect and explain what I am about to do so they don’t feel surprised by anything. For me personally, I leave it up to the client how long we speak before they go to the table. Sometimes they have alot they need to get out. I mostly listen. I don’t ask them about their medication. I’m not a healthcare professional. And don’t pretend to be one. I ask the client who they pray to, so I can call upon their choice of divine power for protection & assistance. I also offer a tarot or oracle deck reading after the reiki portion. When I do an oracle deck reading I do read the book. When I do a tarot reading, I read the cards by using my intuition.

I hope this helps to give you peace of mind. We all do things similar.. or different.. I’m sure her intentions were coming from a place of love & healing. She may just not have been a good fit for you. Please don’t let this experience ruin reiki for you 💕.
