Virtual sessions
Are all sessions online?
Yes. Every session is held by video call, and there is no studio or office to visit. You join from home.
Can energy healing work over video?
Reiki and other energy practices have long been given at a distance, and a video call is one way to do it. Scientific evidence for energy healing is limited, so most people judge it by how they feel during and after a session. Read more about distance healing.
What do I need for an online session?
A phone or laptop on a stable connection, a quiet room with a door you can close, and somewhere comfortable to lie down or sit back. A blanket and a glass of water help. You don't need crystals or anything special.
Can I book if I don't live in Florida?
Yes. Chandini works with clients across Florida and anywhere in the world. Sessions are scheduled in Eastern Time, so convert the time if you're elsewhere.
What are your hours?
Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm Eastern Time. The western Florida Panhandle is on Central Time, where that is 8am to 4pm.
Reiki & energy healing
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese energy healing practice in which the practitioner channels energy to help you relax and rebalance. You rest while it's given. See the Reiki healing page for more.
How is Pranic Healing different from Reiki?
Both work with your energy without physical contact during an online session. Pranic Healing focuses on cleansing and then energizing the energy body, while Reiki is usually described as channeling energy to where it's needed. Chandini often combines them. See Pranic Healing.
What will I feel during a session?
People describe warmth, tingling, heaviness, emotion or simply a quiet mind. Some fall asleep. Some notice very little at the time and feel different later in the day. All of these are normal.
Is there scientific evidence that energy healing works?
The scientific evidence for Reiki, crystal healing and similar practices is limited. People come for how sessions feel, which is often calmer and more settled. Chandini won't promise a medical result.
How many sessions will I need?
There's no set number. Some people book once, and some prefer a regular rhythm, such as once each moon cycle. You can talk it through on the free consultation.
Human Design & astrology
What happens in a Human Design reading?
Chandini walks you through your Human Design chart, which is calculated from your birth date, time and place, and what it may say about how you make decisions and use your energy. See Human Design reading.
What do I need for a birth chart reading?
Your date, time and place of birth. The more accurate your birth time, the more precise the chart. See birth chart reading, or look up your sun, moon and rising signs with the moon sign calculator.
Will a reading predict my future?
No. Chandini offers Human Design and astrology as frameworks for reflection, a way to look at your patterns and choices. They don't decide your fate.
Safety & medical care
Can energy healing replace my doctor or therapist?
No. Energy healing is complementary. Keep seeing your doctor, therapist or other care providers, and don't stop or change any treatment or medication because of a session.
Is Reiki safe?
Reiki is gentle and non-invasive, and online sessions involve no touch at all. If you have a health condition, keep your doctor informed and tell Chandini on the free consultation.
Can I have a session while pregnant?
Check with your doctor or midwife first, and tell Chandini you're pregnant when you book so she can take it into account.
Is shadow work right for me if I'm struggling?
Shadow work can bring up strong feelings, so it's best done alongside a therapist if you're dealing with trauma, grief or depression. Sessions don't replace mental-health care. If you are in crisis in the US, call or text 988, the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Every session is held online · Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm Eastern Time
