On being a responsible practitioner

Good Afternoon my Friends,
I was wondering how some of you might have handled this situation.

I scheduled a reiki session for a friend who is going thru a rough time with depression and is on some pretty heavy drugs. She was looking forward to our session tomorrow until I saw her today and explained that she should be mindful of how she is feeling after the reiki session and to have her husband (a doctor) keep an eye on her for a couple of days as the reiki could affect her meds and their effectiveness.

When I explained this she suddenly changed her tune and said she may not come now.

I felt I was being a responsible practitioner by warning a person on meds that there could be some side effects of the reiki on medication and the body's reaction to them.

My husband says I should have kept my mouth shut and nothing would have happened.

What situations have you all experienced regarding clients on meds?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Love and light,
Tracey
