Code of Ethics
​At Palo Alto Reiki, I hold each session, interaction, and relationship with the utmost care, integrity, and respect. This Code of Ethics outlines the principles that guide my work as a Reiki Master Teacher and Energy Healing Practitioner.
​
Safe & Professional Space
I am committed to creating a respectful, welcoming, and energetically safe environment. Every session is held in a space that is grounded, structured, and supportive—allowing clients to relax, receive, and heal without judgment or pressure.
​
Client-Centered Care
I view the healing relationship as a collaborative partnership. I deeply value your voice, intuition, and agency, and invite you to be an active participant in the process. Healing is not something I do to you—it’s something we co-create.
​
Fiduciary Responsibility
I always act in the best interest of my clients. Your well-being is my top priority, and I make every effort to ensure your care is ethically and energetically aligned with your needs.
​
Scope of Practice
While I offer energy healing and intuitive services, I do not diagnose conditions, prescribe treatments, or offer medical, psychological, legal, or financial advice. Reiki is not licensed by the State of California and is not a replacement for licensed healthcare. ​I encourage all clients to consult qualified professionals for medical and mental health needs, and I never suggest forgoing conventional treatment.
​
Power Awareness & Integrity
I recognize that my training and role as a practitioner may create a natural power differential. I remain sensitive to this and strive to maintain the integrity of that dynamic. Reiki is a self-healing modality—your inner wisdom is the true source of healing. My role is to support, not override, your process.
​
Professional Boundaries
I maintain a professional relationship with all clients. I do not enter into dual (personal) relationships and ensure every interaction upholds trust, safety, and mutual respect. Boundaries allow deep healing to unfold in a protected and intentional space.
​
Consent & Shared Responsibility
Consent is central to my work. I clearly explain what to expect in a session and check in about your comfort. You are encouraged to speak up, ask questions, or request changes at any time. You are responsible for your own choices, interpretations, and integration of any insights received.
​
Confidentiality
All information shared during sessions is confidential and will not be disclosed without your written consent, except as required by law. Please note that complete confidentiality cannot be guaranteed for sessions conducted over digital platforms such as Zoom.
​
California Law – Senate Bill 577
Under California’s Health Freedom Act (Senate Bill 577), I am required to disclose that Reiki is a complementary and alternative healing modality and not licensed by the state. Prior to your first session, you will be asked to read and sign a Client Agreement, Acknowledgment & Consent form.
