reiki

Reiki is a healing modality that supports the flow of universal life force energy throughout the whole body. Each session is a deeply relaxing experience which reduces stress + anxiety and improves vital functions, such as breathing, digesting and sleeping. A Reiki session can provide space to become aware of what’s going on in your mind and body. Being more present with this awareness allows for the inner wisdom to come through. You can expect to rest in a restorative position while the practitioner follows a sequence of gentle hand placements on the body to encourage energy flow to promote health + vitality. In doing so, energetic blocks, which may lead to dis-ease + discomfort are reduced + optimal health may be restored.

How early should I arrive for my appointment?

You have two entrances; how will I know which door to use?

That is correct. We have two treatment rooms on the upper level and two on the lower level. If your appointment is on the lower level you will enter at the side door off of Main Street. If your appointment is on the main floor, you will enter through the main door off of Lyall Ave. Your reminder message will direct you to the correct entrance. As well, there is signage on the premises to direct you to your entrance.
What methods of payment do you take?

We accept Mastercard, Visa, American Express, Debit and E-transfer. Payment will be received after completion of your treatment. We do accept cash although we are not able to provide change so the amount must be exact.
What if I can’t find an appointment?

The booking site has a waitlist option below the calendar where you can add your name. In the event that an appointment becomes available, we will contact you to offer you the spot. Alternatively, consider booking in with another therapist. At Metta, we work as a collective to provide shared care to our community of clients.
Where should I park?

We are located in a residential neighbourhood with free parking on side streets such as Lyall Ave, Kimberly Ave, or Walter street. There is also metered parking available on Main Street. Please DO NOT park in the private lot behind the building.
What is your cancellation policy?

We know that your time is valuable and ours is too. Out of respect for our practitioners and our other clients, we ask that you give us at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel an appointment. Missed appointments or those cancelled without 24 hours notice will incur a fee equal to the total amount of the reserved service.
