Reiki is a light hands-on healing practice that promotes balance in mind, body, and spirit. And Reiki is safe — it’s a painless, non-invasive practice that doesn’t interfere with any medical treatment or drug regime prescribed by the doctor. Reiki is considered energy medicine and holistic.
Who can benefit from Reiki? Everyone can benefit from Reiki—because Reiki doesn’t address symptoms or diseases, it simply balances your system. I’ve treated newborns; I’ve treated the dying. I’ve treated people suffering with pain, depression, as well as people who are healthy and want to stay that way.If you are tired, you’ll feel refreshed. If you are anxious, you’ll feel serene. If you are distressed, you’ll feel comforted. Where you feel overwhelmed, you’ll find a renewed sense of yourself. And these subjective changes will be accompanied by physical changes indicative of deep relaxation, such as a slower heart rate and easier breathing.
About me: I am a Reiki Master and have been practicing Reiki since 2005. I’ve taught Reiki Level I and Level II students for many years now and I’ve treated many people suffering with pain and anxiety and depression as well as those who have cancer, migraines, Cerebral Palsy, and insomnia as well as people who are healthy and just want to stay that way. And of course I give my pregnant moms Reiki during labor. I’ve seen the amazingly positive effects Reiki has for an anxious mom or a baby that is laboring slower than the practitioner is happy with. It’s amazing to watch the effects of Reiki help calm and empower a mother and her baby and help them greet each other for the first time.
The class fee is $150 and you will receive a certificate upon completion and be considered a Certified Reiki Practitioner when you are done. There will be a combination of lecture/sharing and practicing time.

Reiki is used during the first stages of pregnancy to relieve the stress and illness of morning sickness and the stress of the body changing to restore the balance and health to the mother.
Common points concentrated on during this time are the forehead and the solar plexus, as well as the sacral point. These points correspond to the head, abdomen and reproductive organs.
Reiki is safe to use during all stages of pregnancy from conception to childbirth. Couples who are having trouble getting pregnant sometimes seek Reiki treatments for their reproductive problems. Men as well as women have shown benefits from these Reiki therapy sessions.
During pregnancy, tests conducted at Hartford Hospital in Hartford, Connecticut shows that Reiki used during pregnancy reduced anxiety by 94 percent, nausea by 80 percent, pain by 78 percent and improved sleep by 86 percent.
During labor, pain is associated with the back and pelvic area. Reiki used during this stage has been shown to control and lessen pain during labor. This type of therapy has also shown to make delivery easier on the mom and baby. Also, mothers who have had previous c-sections who receive Reiki in later pregnancies show a clear reduction in the need for cesarean surgeries.
Post-partum treatment, Reiki is shown to reduce the emotional ups and downs of adjusting to a new baby. Mothers who have used Reiki during and after pregnancy can better adjust to their babies. Babies are also better adjusted to the outside world when the mother has had Reiki therapy during her pregnancy.
When Reiki is used in the delivery room it also reduces anxiety, sleep problems, colic, and enhances motor activity and active sleep.
Even fathers are being trained to administer Reiki during pregnancy. This helps them feel more involved in the treating of their partner and child. They are able to treat themselves when they feel stressed, treat mom during the different phases of pregnancy and delivery as well as the baby during late night feedings or colic fits.
