My journey with Reiki began in 2015, when I received my first attunements after noticing an increasing demand for services at the hospice where I volunteered. Reiki is a recognized complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) technique that many hospices now integrate into their care. It provides a gentle, compassionate touch that goes beyond traditional medical care, bringing comfort and a deep sense of peace to those facing challenging health journeys.

Reiki for Patients: A Path to Calm and Empowerment

For patients, Reiki offers a soothing and grounding experience that promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and encourages healing from within. In sessions, I use either light or no-touch techniques to channel calming energy to areas where the body and mind are holding tension, pain, or discomfort. Reiki helps ease anxiety, improve mental clarity, and promote a sense of empowerment as you regain balance and inner peace. This non-invasive practice complements medical treatment by fostering a calm state where the body’s natural healing processes can work most effectively.

Reiki for Caregivers: A Respite for Renewal and Resilience

Caregivers often bear the emotional weight of supporting loved ones, and this stress can take a toll. Through Reiki, I offer caregivers a safe space to rest, release tension, and replenish their energy. A Reiki session can be incredibly restorative, providing the relaxation and mental clarity caregivers need to continue their role from a place of resilience and compassion. Reiki allows caregivers to step into their roles feeling renewed, empowered, and connected to their own well-being.

Why Reiki Matters in MY Approach to Patient Advocacy

Reiki aligns seamlessly with my mission: to provide holistic, compassionate care that honors the full spectrum of the human experience. This practice is a powerful complement to my patient advocacy practice because it addresses energetic and “unseen” aspects of our health that are often overlooked in traditional healthcare. By incorporating Reiki, I can better address each person’s needs as a whole, which includes mental, emotional, and spiritual wellness.

What to Expect in a Reiki Session

Each Reiki session is customized based on the individual’s needs, with flexibility in session length and approach. I begin with a brief conversation to understand current challenges or concerns, then proceed with a quiet, comfortable healing session. Whether you are a patient seeking relief from stress or a caregiver in need of restorative energy, Reiki is a safe, supportive, and healing experience that can help you feel more centered and refreshed.

I believe Reiki is more than a healing modality; it’s an essential part of my commitment to helping you and your loved ones feel seen, supported, and empowered throughout this journey.
