Distant Reiki – Frequently Asked Questions About Remote Reiki Treatments

Are you juggling a busy schedule and looking for an effective way to regulate your nervous system without leaving your home, office or hotel? Are you needing holistic healing support?

Distant Reiki treatment (also known as Remote Reiki or Online Reiki) enables you to receive professional Reiki treatment wherever you are.

Whether you’re based in Melbourne, regional Australia, or overseas, Distant Reiki gives you access to personalised support in the comfort and privacy of your home, office, or hotel room.

Remote Reiki treatments enable you to balance your system physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. They’re as effective as in-person Reiki treatments, making them an ideal option if you’re seeking flexible, accessible, integrated Reiki treatment within Australia or worldwide.

Do you have questions about Distant Reiki? Below are some common questions and answers, including what to expect and how treatment can support your health wellbeing.

What is Distant Reiki?

Distant Reiki is a professional Reiki treatment delivered remotely. Using traditional Reiki techniques, it enables you to experience the same benefits as an in-person session.

Many of my clients seeking online Reiki treatment in Melbourne, interstate or overseas find that their central nervous system relaxes more deeply at home. They don’t have to travel, drive, park or rush to their appointment. They simply receive the treatment, rest, and integrate the healing.

Distance Reiki treatment is ideal for:

Is Distant Reiki as effective as in-person Reiki?

Distant Reiki is just as effective as receiving Reiki in person; I wouldn’t offer it to you otherwise. Reiki is a holistic healing system that isn’t limited by physical distance. Using traditional Reiki techniques, I connect with you even when we’re physically separated. Many clients I’ve had the privilege of supporting with Distant Reiki experience the same benefits as they do in person. Distant Reiki is available worldwide: including Melbourne, interstate across Australia, and internationally, allowing you to receive professional Reiki safely and effectively, no matter where you are.

Do I need to share my full health history during my Distant Reiki treatment?

You can share as much or as little information in your intake form and during your treatment as is comfortable to you. All information remains confidential.

While Reiki meets your deepest need, understanding your health history allows your session to be tailored specifically to your needs.

In addition to Reiki, I’m trained in Shiatsu, Oriental Therapies (including elements of Traditional Chinese Medicine), and Remedial Massage. This integrative background supports a grounded and professional approach to your Remote Reiki treatment.

Your session is personalised, structured, and aligned with your overall wellbeing intentions.

What do I do during a Distant Reiki (Remote Reiki) treatment?

Set aside time in a relatively quiet space to receive the treatment.

Feel free to lie down or sit comfortably indoors or outside. You can add relaxation music to your treatment, but it’s not essential.

Your Distant Reiki session includes:

  • A consultation at the beginning
  • The Distance Reiki treatment
  • An integration discussion at the end

This structure ensures you feel supported before, during, and after your session.

Do I need to keep my camera on during my Distant Reiki treatment?

Your camera can remain on or off, as both are equally effective. Whether you’re receiving Remote Reiki in Melbourne, elsewhere in Australia, or overseas, choose what feels most comfortable for you.

What if my internet drops out during my Distant Reiki treatment?

That’s completely fine. Please include your phone number (with country code if outside Australia) when booking your treatment. If technology fails, we continue your Reiki treatment via telephone.

Telephone Reiki treatments are equally effective. Reiki is not limited by technology or physical proximity.

Can I receive Remote Reiki by telephone only?

Yes, absolutely. You might prefer telephone-only sessions for privacy, simplicity and time away from your screen.

Can my family members receive Distant Reiki?

Yes of course. Each Remote Reiki treatment is personalised and confidential. Please book separate appointments for each family member. Distance Reiki is suitable for adults, teenagers, and children (with parental consent).

Can I receive Distant Reiki alongside medical treatment?

Yes. Reiki is an integrative practice that works safely alongside:

  • Surgery and post-surgical recovery
  • Medical treatments and pharmaceuticals
  • Counselling and psychology
  • Physiotherapy and rehabilitation
  • Pregnancy care

Reiki does not replace medical advice. Always continue following your healthcare provider’s guidance.

Making time for Remote Reiki treatment if you’re seeking other health support is part of a broader wellness plan.

How long is a Distant Reiki session?

60 minutes, including a pre- and post-consultation.

How often should I receive Remote Reiki treatment?

How often you receive Reiki treatment online or via telephone is up to you.

As a general guideline, if you have a specific condition that you need support with, it’s best to start with weekly/fortnightly treatments. We can then space these out to once a month or less frequently.

It’s best to allow at least one week between treatments. This allows your system time to rebalance and integrate the healing.

Why receive support from Sarah Najjar?

Choosing a qualified, experienced practitioner matters, especially online/remotely.

With over two decades of experience, your session is grounded, professional, and deeply respectful of your healing process.

Whether you’re seeking Distant Reiki in Melbourne or international Reiki healing online, you receive the same level of care and attention as in-person. The purity of a remote treatment is highly beneficial. Remote Reiki treatments allow Reiki to flow directly to you, without physical or environmental distractions, creating a focused and uninterrupted healing session. Since 2002, many of my clients have found the clarity and subtlety of Distant Reiki treatments uniquely beneficial compared to in-person treatments.

Your body, spirit and mind deserve time to be restored to balance, wherever you are in the world.
