In Hawaiian, manawa means the heart: the inner seat of feelings and affections, and can also translate to time—the moment, the season, the right timing.

For Manawa Energy, it represents healing that honors both the heart and right timing—coming back to the present moment and letting the heart guide the process.

Reiki is a gentle, energy healing practice that supports relaxation, stress reduction, and the body’s natural ability to heal. This practice employs a method of “hovering hands”, resulting in no skin contact. Reiki works with the body’s energy system to encourage balance on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels. 

We are a popular resource for Reiki in Honolulu. For more information, <click this link>, and for our blog about the various science-backed benefits of Reiki, <click here> !

During a Reiki session, you’ll lie fully clothed on a comfortable treatment table while Shari channels calming energy. Many clients experience deep relaxation, warmth, tingling sensations, emotional release, and a sense of peace. Each experience is unique, and subsequent sessions often strengthen these initial effects.

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive practice and is considered safe for people of all ages and backgrounds. It does not involve forceful manipulation or pressure and can be adapted to your comfort level. Reiki is complementary and works alongside medical or mental health care, not as a replacement. If you have specific medical concerns, you’re always encouraged to consult your healthcare provider.

Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic approach conducted by a professional to induce a state of focused attention and deep relaxation to help a person work on psychological, emotional, or behavioral issues. In this state, people are typically more open to positive suggestions and better able to access thoughts, memories, or patterns that are usually outside their everyday awareness. 

Shari uses hypnotherapy to help clients address and heal negative habits, fears, emotional blocks, and stress. To learn more, <click this link!>

No. You remain aware and in control at all times, and sessions move at your own pace. Hypnotherapy is a natural state of focused relaxation, similar to daydreaming or meditation. You cannot be made to do anything against your will, and Shari will strictly adhere to the goals and intentions you’ve laid out before the session.

An open mind is helpful, but belief is not required. Many clients experience benefits simply by allowing themselves to relax and receive. Reiki and hypnotherapy can be supportive regardless of personal or spiritual beliefs.

Yes, emotional release can sometimes occur, as these practices support deep relaxation and self-awareness. This may look like feeling emotional, reflective, or unusually tired afterward. Shari creates a safe, grounded, and supportive environment, and sessions move at a pace that feels right for you. Any emotions that arise are treated with care, respect, and compassion.

A house blessing is an energetic clearing and intention-setting for your home or space. Shari works to rid the space of old or unwanted energy and infuse the space with calm, harmony, and positive intention. House blessings are ideal for new homes, after major life changes, or when a space feels “off.”

Yes, we travel to all locations, including but not limited to Ala Moana, Makiki, Tantalus, Waikiki, Manoa, Kaimuki, Waialae, Kahala, ‘Aina Haina, Punchbowl, Kaka’ako, Kalihi; these are simply examples and not a comprehensive list. Services are available across the whole of Oahu and to other islands as well. Feel free to inquire further at our <contact page!>

Psychic readings offer intuitive insight into life situations, patterns, and potential paths forward. Shari uses her intuitive abilities to provide guidance, clarity, and perspective. Readings are supportive, empowering, and focused on helping you make informed choices to support your personal growth goals.

Psychic readings are not about fixed predictions. They reflect current energies, possibilities, and influences. You always have free will, and outcomes can change based on your choices and actions in the present moment.

Yes. Our clients often combine their Reiki sessions with hypnotherapy or psychic readings to create a more holistic and personalized experience. These services often complement one another, supporting both energetic balance and conscious insight. If you’re interested in combining services, Shari can help guide you toward the best approach for your goals. The one exception is that hypnotherapy and psychic readings CANNOT be combined; these services function best independently of one another.

The best service for you depends on what you’re experiencing right now and what kind of support you’re seeking. If you’re feeling energetically drained, emotionally overwhelmed, or in need of relaxation and balance, Reiki can help restore harmony on an energetic level in powerful ways. If you’re ready to work with deeper patterns- such as habits, fears, or emotional blocks rooted in the subconscious, hypnotherapy may be the most effective choice.

If you’re seeking insight, clarity, or spiritual guidance on a specific question or life situation, a psychic reading can provide perspective and direction. For those wanting to clear and reset the energy of their living space to create a sense of peace and protection, house blessings are a beautiful option. And if you feel called to learn, develop your intuition, or foster growth of your own healing skills, instructional classes provide education, empowerment, and hands-on experience.

If you’re unsure, trust that curiosity is often the first signal. You’re also welcome to reach out through our <contact page>; together, we can tune into what will best support you at this moment in your journey.

Shari offers both in-person and remote sessions for select services, including Reiki, hypnotherapy, and psychic readings. Remote sessions are just as effective and are explained fully before booking. Given the accessible nature of these services, we offer them to you no matter where you’re located. (Hypnotherapy is offered through Zoom, Psychic Readings can be conducted through Zoom or FaceTime, and Reiki can be sent without the use of devices.)

Yes, we can! Shari is happy to offer the convenience to her clients. Travel time and parking fees will simply be added to the cost of services provided.

That’s completely okay. Everyone experiences Reiki differently, and there is no “right” way to feel. Some people notice physical sensations, emotions, or imagery, while others simply feel calm or relaxed. Even if you don’t perceive anything during the session, the energy is still working, and many clients notice subtle shifts or benefits in the days that follow.

• Wear comfortable clothing

• Stay hydrated

• Come with an open mind and clear intention

• Avoid alcohol or recreational drugs before your session

• Make a list of some concerns or issues you’d like to address

Session lengths vary depending on the service. Reiki, hypnotherapy, and readings typically range from 60–90 minutes, plus 10 or so minutes on either end to prime for and unwind from each session. Spiritual Development sessions are 120 minutes. Specific details are provided on our <Schedule a Session page> and at the time of booking.

Yes. All sessions are held in a safe, respectful, and confidential space. All information concerning your session is strictly between you and Shari.

You can book a session through the Manawa Energy website or by contacting Shari directly. Booking details, availability, and pricing are listed online. Visit our <Schedule a Session page> or our <Contact page> for further details!

The number of sessions varies depending on your goals and what you’re seeking support with. Some clients feel noticeable benefits after a single session, while others choose ongoing sessions for deeper or longer-term support. Shari can offer guidance after your session, but there is never pressure to commit to a specific number of visits. (Depending on your situation, multiple sessions may be recommended)

Many clients experience an integration period after a session, where insights, emotional shifts, or physical sensations continue to unfold. You may feel deeply relaxed, energized, or more emotionally aware. Staying hydrated, resting, journaling, and giving yourself gentle space afterward can help support this process. Each person’s integration experience is unique.

Yes. You are always in control of your session. You can ask to pause, stop, or adjust anything at any time. Your comfort, consent, and sense of safety are essential, and Shari will always honor your needs and boundaries.

Yes. Many clients who identify as highly sensitive or empathic find Reiki and intuitive work especially supportive. Sessions are gentle, grounding, and tailored to help sensitive individuals feel safe, supported, and balanced rather than overwhelmed. Communication is an integral part of the practice, so you can rest assured you’ll receive the quality care you need.

If you’re unsure which service to choose, you’re not alone. We’ve had many clients with the same question. You’re welcome to reach out before booking, and Shari can help you explore your intentions and recommend a service that aligns with what you’re seeking, whether that’s relaxation, emotional healing, clarity, or personal growth. You can find our <contact page here!>

Yes. Every session is personalized. Before beginning, Shari will discuss your goals, intentions, and any areas you’d like to focus on. Sessions are intuitively guided while remaining grounded in your expressed needs, allowing the experience to support you in the most meaningful way possible.

No. Services offered by Manawa Energy are complementary and are not a replacement for medical, psychological, or psychiatric care. We consider our services integrative with the ongoing care you receive from doctors, therapists, and specialists. Always consult a licensed healthcare professional for medical concerns
