Medical Reiki™ as a Complementary Therapy in the Healthcare Setting

Medical Reiki ™ is a holistic, non-invasive healing treatment. The effect of this treatment, which involves gentle touch, is to reduce stress, pain and tension while bringing a person’s system back into balance on all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

Medical Reiki™ treatments stimulate the body’s own innate wisdom for healing. Reiki works as a complementary treatment and supports any and all conventional medical treatments.

Reiki treatments are adaptable to any environment, and everyone can benefit.

Medical Reiki™ is appropriate and helpful for people of any age and with any condition, from newborns to children, teens, adults, and the elderly. It works by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system, and therefore is non-invasive and has no known contraindications or negative side effects. It supports and helps healing, while bringing peace to the body, emotions and mind.

What does a session of Medical Reiki™ look like?

During a Medical Reiki™ treatment, the practitioner gently places his/her hands in different positions on or slightly above the body, while the patient sits in a chair or lies in a bed.

As stress and tension are released, the body begins to relax and release the trauma, illness, or imbalance, and returns to harmony, equilibrium and calmness.

As Medical Reiki™ Masters, we do not diagnose conditions, prescribe or perform medical treatment, nor do we interfere with the treatment of a licensed medical professional.

Our mission is to support the patient and/or the caregiver in a nurturing, holistic way during what is usually a very difficult time.

More and more, patients are requesting care beyond what most consider to be traditional health services, and hospitals are responding to the needs of the communities they serve by offering these therapies.
