Reiki is an integrative therapy “in which the practitioner places their hands lightly on or just above the person, with the goal of facilitating their own healing response.” (National Institute of Health website, 2015)
Research studies on Reiki Therapy have consistently noted these outcomes: lower levels of pain and anxiety; feelings of deep relaxation; and reduced stress. Reiki Therapy is considered to be very safe, with no negative side-effects noted in research studies.
Reiki Therapy sessions are done fully clothed, and can be done either seated in a chair or laying on a massage table. Sessions last for an hour. The fee is $65, payable by cash or check. When needed, such as following surgery, Reiki Therapy sessions can be provided in the home or hospital setting for an additional cost.
