FAQs - commonly asked questions and answers
Reiki Treatments
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle energy healing technique that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and supports the body’s natural healing processes. It involves the light placement of hands or hovering over specific energy centers (chakras) to balance the body’s energy.
How should I prepare for a Reiki treatment?
Reiki is a gentle, energy-based healing practice, and there’s no special preparation required. However, to get the most out of your session, we recommend the following:
Hydrate well before and after your treatment to support energy flow.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing so you can relax fully during the session.
Arrive a few minutes early to ground yourself and set an intention (if you wish).
Try to avoid caffeine or heavy meals right before your session so your body can be at ease.
Most importantly, come with an open heart and a willingness to receive. Reiki works best when you simply allow yourself to be present.
What can I expect during a Reiki session?
You’ll lie fully clothed on a treatment table in a calming environment. Many clients experience warmth, tingling, or a deep sense of peace. Sessions may also include sound healing or guided breathwork to enhance your experience.
How will I feel after Reiki?
You may feel lighter, more grounded, and emotionally balanced. Some clients report improved sleep, mental clarity, or emotional release. It’s normal to feel deeply relaxed for the rest of the day.
Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage Massage
What is Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage?
This specialized massage technique stimulates the lymphatic system to reduce water retention, improve circulation, enhance immune function, and promote detoxification. It’s known for its sculpting and slimming effects.
How is it different from traditional lymphatic massage?
Brazilian Lymphatic Drainage uses rhythmic, firm strokes combined with sculpting movements to visibly contour the body while stimulating lymphatic flow. It’s both functional and aesthetic.
How should I prepare for a lymphatic drainage massage?
Preparing for your lymphatic drainage massage can help enhance your results and your overall experience. Here are some helpful tips:
Stay well-hydrated in the hours before and after your session—water supports the lymphatic system in flushing out toxins.
Avoid heavy meals at least an hour before your treatment to promote comfort while lying down.
Wear or bring comfortable undergarments (you may be partially undressed, but always properly draped).
Avoid applying body lotion or oils beforehand, as dry skin improves the effectiveness of manual techniques.
Plan time to rest afterward—this is a detoxifying treatment, and your body may need time to reset.
Creating space for rest and recovery before and after your session allows the benefits of the treatment to integrate fully.
How soon will I see results?
Many clients notice reduced bloating and a more defined appearance after just one session. Best results occur with consistency and proper hydration.
Why is lymphatic drainage offered to women only?
At Radiance Sculpt & Flow Studio, lymphatic drainage massage is reserved exclusively for women to ensure a safe, respectful, and comfortable healing environment. This treatment involves gentle stimulation of the lymphatic system, which includes working near sensitive areas of the body—particularly the central lymphatic channels located in the groin region.
To uphold professional boundaries and maintain the integrity of the service, we currently offer this treatment to women only. We appreciate your understanding and support in creating a space centered on trust and wellness.
Gua Sha Facials
What is a Gua Sha Facial?
Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese facial technique using a smooth stone tool to gently glide over the face. It promotes lymphatic drainage, improves circulation, reduces puffiness, and encourages a lifted, toned appearance.
Does it hurt?
Not at all. The movements are gentle and soothing. Most clients find it relaxing and leave with a healthy, radiant glow.
How often should I get a Gua Sha facial?
Weekly or bi-weekly sessions are ideal for lasting sculpting benefits, though even one session can improve skin tone and reduce puffiness.
Lymphatic Drainage Buccal Facials
What is a Buccal Facial?
A Buccal Facial combines intraoral massage (inside the cheek) with external lymphatic drainage to release facial tension, sculpt the jawline, reduce puffiness, and support skin elasticity.
Is the intraoral part uncomfortable?
Not at all—it's done with gloved hands and gentle pressure. Clients often say it feels deeply relieving, especially for those who clench their jaw or experience TMJ tension.
What are the benefits of a Buccal Facial?
This facial improves facial symmetry, encourages detoxification, relieves muscle tension, and enhances your natural contour for a more youthful, lifted look.
