How Reiki Supports the IFS Process

Reiki allows me to energetically attune to your system and notice where energy feels activated, constricted, depleted, or in need of care. Often, this points us toward parts that may not be easily accessed through words alone - parts that are pre-verbal, somatically held, or energetically guarded.

Reiki doesn’t replace IFS. Instead, it supports and enhances the parts work already happening. It can help soften protective defenses, create more internal space, and support energy movement so parts feel safer to emerge and be witnessed.

Think of Reiki as a compassionate energetic companion to the IFS process. Reiki helps us listen more deeply to what your system is already communicating. 

What This Integrated Approach Can Offer

• Energetic support for emotional and somatic healing
• Greater access to parts that feel hidden, frozen, or hard to reach
• Increased regulation and nervous system settling
• Deeper embodiment of Self energy — calm, curiosity, compassion
• Support when processes feel stuck or slow

This work honors both your inner landscape and your energetic experience, meeting you in a holistic, non-invasive way.

What a Session Might Feel Like

Sessions begin with IFS attunement, where with my support you’ll notice what’s present in your system and which parts are showing up. For example, you might notice a pit in your stomach and tension in your shoulders. Or you might notice a thinking part that’s trying to figure everything out on your own. With your consent, Reiki is then offered as energetic support while we continue to track parts and Self energy.

Clients often notice sensations such as warmth, tingling, deep relaxation, emotional release, or subtle internal shifts. Reiki supports parts in softening and settling, which can allow them to be met with greater clarity and compassion. Nothing is forced. Your system leads the pace.

Virtual Sessions

This work is highly effective virtually. Both IFS and Reiki operate through presence, attunement, and energetic connection, not physical proximity. Many clients find virtual sessions allow them to relax more deeply in their own space, supporting integration and embodiment.

This Work May Be a Good Fit If You:

• Feel drawn to somatic, intuitive, spiritual, or energetic approaches
• Sense that some healing lives beyond words
• Want deeper access to parts held in the body or nervous system
• Are curious about the intersection of psyche, energy, and IFS
• Desire a gentle, collaborative, IFS-based healing process
