Questions & Answers

Whether you're exploring Reiki, coaching, intuitive guidance, or simply curious about Viamore, it's natural to have questions. Below you'll find answers to some of the most common questions. If you don't see what you're looking for, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Getting Started

  • Viamore is founded on the belief that healing is not a destination, but rather a journey to living fully. Every person already possesses the wisdom, resilience, and wholeness they need. Our role is not to "heal" you, but to create a calm, welcoming environment where you can reconnect with yourself and support your own healing journey.

  • Not at all. While Reiki is one of the services offered, Viamore is built on a broader philosophy of healing, self-awareness, and personal growth. Whether you're seeking relaxation, emotional support, intuitive guidance, clarity, or simply a quiet place to pause, you're welcome here.

  • Not at all. People come to Viamore from many different backgrounds and belief systems. Some have a strong spiritual practice, while others are simply looking for a peaceful, supportive experience. There is no expectation that you adopt any particular belief system.

  • That depends entirely on your goals. Some people schedule sessions during particularly stressful times, while others incorporate it into an ongoing self-care practice. Many clients find that regular sessions provide continued support for their overall well-being and personal growth.

  • If Viamore's philosophy resonates with you, we'd be honored to welcome you. If you're unsure, we encourage you to reach out or schedule a Discovery call. We’re always happy to answer questions before you schedule your first session.

  • There's nothing special you need to do. Simply arrive on time with an open mind and a willingness to give yourself permission to slow down. Some clients enjoy taking a few quiet moments before or after their session to reflect or journal, but this is entirely optional.

Coaching

  • Coaching is a collaborative conversation designed to help you gain clarity, explore new perspectives, and move forward with greater intention. Rather than giving advice or telling you what to do, I ask thoughtful questions, offer honest observations, and help you uncover the answers that already exist within you.

  • While there can be overlap, coaching is generally future-focused and centered on personal growth, self-awareness, relationships, and navigating life's challenges. Therapy often addresses the diagnosis and treatment of mental health conditions and may focus more extensively on healing past trauma.

    Coaching is not a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, or medical care. If your needs are better served by a licensed mental health professional, I will encourage you to seek the appropriate support.

  • People seek coaching for many different reasons, including:

    • Relationship challenges

    • Life transitions

    • Personal growth

    • Communication

    • Self-confidence

    • Decision-making

    • Finding greater clarity and purpose

    • Breaking unhelpful patterns

    • Living with greater authenticity

    Every coaching relationship is unique because every person is unique.

  • Not at all. Some people begin coaching simply knowing that something feels "off" or that they're ready for change but aren't sure where to begin. Our conversations will help uncover what matters most and identify meaningful next steps together.

  • No. A coach’s role is not to tell you how to live your life or make decisions for you. Instead, a coach helps you explore your thoughts, beliefs, and experiences from new perspectives so you can make choices that feel aligned with your own values and goals.

  • Absolutely. Some clients choose coaching, some choose Reiki, and many find the combination especially meaningful. While Reiki supports relaxation and energetic balance, coaching provides space to explore thoughts, patterns, relationships, and practical next steps. Together, they can complement one another beautifully.

  • Yes—but always with compassion and respect. Meaningful growth often begins by looking at familiar situations from a different perspective. A coach may gently challenge assumptions, ask difficult questions, or offer observations that invite deeper reflection. Our intention is never to judge or persuade you, but to help you discover greater clarity, authenticity, and alignment with the life you want to create.

Private Gatherings

  • A Viamore gathering is a private, customized experience designed to bring people together through meaningful conversation, reflection, and personal growth. Gatherings may include Reiki, intuitive oracle card readings, guided activities, or a combination of experiences tailored to your group's interests and intentions.

  • Private gatherings are perfect for friends, families, coworkers, book clubs, birthdays, bridal parties, wellness events, or anyone looking to create a unique and meaningful shared experience.

  • Absolutely. Every gathering is designed around your group. Together, we'll discuss your goals, group size, preferred experiences, timing, and any special requests to create an experience that feels welcoming and memorable.

  • Gatherings can be designed for groups as small as eight people or larger gatherings. Contact us to discuss your group size, and we'll create an experience that's comfortable and enjoyable for everyone.

  • Depending on your preferences and the number of attendees, gatherings may include:

    • Individual Reiki sessions

    • Intuitive oracle card readings

    • Guided reflection activities

    • Group discussion

    • Other customized experiences based on your group's interests

  • Every gathering is different. The length depends on your group size and the experiences you choose. During our consultation, we'll determine a schedule that best fits your event.

  • Pricing varies based on the size of your group, location, travel, and the experiences you'd like to include.

    Please contact us for a personalized quote.

  • Most gatherings are hosted in your home or another private location. We ask that travel time by car not exceed 1 hour from Akron, Ohio. If you have questions about your venue, we'd be happy to discuss what works best.

  • This depends on the type of gathering and the ages of those attending. Feel free to reach out, and we'll discuss what would be most appropriate for your group.

  • Not necessarily. While the overall gathering follows a shared theme or intention, every person brings their own experiences, questions, and perspectives. Individual Reiki sessions and oracle readings are always personalized.

  • A Viamore gathering is about more than entertainment. Our hope is to create an experience that encourages meaningful connection—with yourself and with one another. Whether guests leave feeling more relaxed, inspired, reflective, or simply grateful for time spent together, the intention is always the same: Create a welcoming space where authentic conversation, laughter, and curiosity can naturally unfold.

Reiki & Energy Healing

  • No. Energy healing is a complementary wellness practice and is not a substitute for medical care, mental health treatment, or other licensed healthcare services. Many clients choose to incorporate Reiki alongside therapy, coaching, massage, or traditional healthcare as part of their overall well-being.

  • Reiki is a gentle complementary wellness practice intended to support relaxation, balance, and overall well-being. Many people experience Reiki as an opportunity to slow down, reduce stress, reconnect with themselves, and cultivate greater inner awareness.

  • After a brief conversation, you'll relax comfortably on a treatment table (or seated in a chair if preferred). Reiki may be provided using light touch or floating (non-contact) hand positions based on your preference. Every session is unique, and there is no "right" way to experience Reiki. You'll remain fully clothed throughout your session.

  • Every experience is different. Some people feel deeply relaxed. Others notice warmth, tingling, emotional release, increased clarity, or simply appreciate having uninterrupted time to rest. Some notice very little during the session itself.

    There is no expected or guaranteed experience, and no particular response is considered better than another. Some people notice they sleep more soundly, feel more emotionally settled, or experience greater clarity over the next few days. Others simply leave feeling deeply rested. Every experience is different, and no particular response is expected.

  • No. Reiki does not require you to hold any particular beliefs or expectations. Many first-time clients arrive simply feeling curious. Our only invitation is to come with an open mind and allow yourself the opportunity to relax and experience the session in your own way. There is no right or wrong experience, and there is no expectation that you believe anything beyond what feels true for you.

  • There is no guarantee of a cure with Reiki. Reiki is intended to support relaxation, balance, and overall well-being. Individual experiences vary, and no specific outcomes can be promised. Reiki is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

  • Wear whatever allows you to feel comfortable and relaxed. You'll remain fully clothed throughout the session, so comfortable clothing is recommended.

  • No, energy healing does not require a practitioner to carry another person’s emotional weight. A practitioner does not use their own personal energy, nor are they taking on yours. The life force energy moves through a practitioner and is then directed to where it is needed. This approach allows a practitioner to be fully grounded and present while addressing a client’s needs.

Intuitive Guidance

  • An intuitive reading is a guided conversation that uses intuition and oracle cards as tools for reflection, insight, and self-discovery. Rather than predicting the future, the cards offer an opportunity to explore patterns, perspectives, and possibilities that may help you navigate your current circumstances with greater clarity and confidence.

  • My intuitive work has developed naturally over many years through a dedicated spiritual practice, Reiki Master training, meditation, and thousands of hours working with clients. I began recognizing intuitive abilities that helped me perceive patterns, insights, and perspectives beyond what was immediately apparent.

    I experience intuition in several ways, including inner knowing (claircognizance), feeling (clairsentience), visual impressions (clairvoyance), inner hearing (clairaudience), and empathy. These abilities inform my work and deepen my capacity for thoughtful conversation.

    My intention is not to impress you with intuition or claim to have all the answers. I use these gifts with humility and discernment to support deeper reflection and your own connection to inner wisdom.

  • I believe intuition is a natural human capacity that can be strengthened through practice, presence, and self-awareness. My own intuitive abilities developed over two to three years. Like any meaningful relationship, our relationship with intuition deepens through attention, trust, and practice.

  • My approach is rooted in thoughtful conversation and practical work as much as intuition. I don't see oracle cards as a way to predict the future or provide all the answers— the future can always change. I see them as a catalyst for deeper reflection.

    Together, we explore the messages that resonate, the perspectives they invite, and what they may reveal about your current journey. My hope is that you'll leave not only with greater clarity, but with a deeper trust in your own inner wisdom.

  • Messages are typically positive and loving, but may include hard truths. You will always be met with compassion during an intuitive reading. Sometimes the most meaningful insights invite us to look honestly at ourselves, our relationships, or our circumstances. My intention is never to create fear or dependency, but to offer guidance that encourages personal empowerment.

  • Yes. Intuitive readings are available both in person and remotely by phone or Google Meet. The format may change, but the quality of the conversation and experience remains the same.

  • Readings are most meaningful when they focus on your own experiences, choices, and personal growth.

    Rather than attempting to interpret someone else's thoughts or future, we'll explore what the situation may be inviting you to understand, how you can respond intentionally, and what supports your own growth.

  • People often seek intuitive readings when they're navigating:

    • Relationships

    • Life transitions

    • Career decisions

    • Personal growth

    • Spiritual exploration

    • Uncertainty or feeling "stuck"

    • A desire for greater clarity or perspective

    There are no perfect questions. Curiosity is enough.
