How Can Reiki Help?

Reiki and Chemotherapy / Radiation Therapy

Reiki helps those undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy to possibly have less discomfort while having a calming effect, as it gently helps to release toxins accumulated from the treatments and can assist in dealing with any possible fatigue, nausea and vomiting. 


Reiki and Dental Procedures

Reiki is very effective for dealing with "dental phobia" by calming and relaxing an individual prior to a procedure.  As with other medical procedures, Reiki treatments before and after helps to decrease the discomfort and promote healing with less complications. 

Reiki and Arthritis

Arthritis is a chronic illness that can be very painful and often crippling.  Many clients report that with Reiki treatments they are better able to maintain an adequate quality of life with less pain.  I myself had chronic pain in my hands and fingers. For a large part of the colder months of the year it was almost unbearable until I found Reiki.  Reiki allowed me the ability to go back to playing ball sports, where I could catch the ball with no pain to my hands whatsoever unless the temperature got within a few degrees of freezing ( A VAST improvement on previous years before I found Reiki).  Previously to Reiki I had taught myself to catch the ball with the palms of my hands to keep the pain at bay until I could no longer catch the ball at all.  All I can say is for me, Reiki gave me back the ability to function almost normally in my hands again, to bring back a sport into my life that I loved.

Reiki and Allergies

Reiki is beneficial in helping to relieve many of the symptoms associated with allergies such as nasal stuffiness, headaches, and fatigue.

Reiki During Pregnancy and Labor and Delivery

The relaxing, calming effects of Reiki treatments assists duriing pregnancy and delivery.  Often clients have found that delivery is a much easier process and that they and their babies have less complications. 

Multiple Sclerosis and Reiki Treatments

Symptoms of MS, such as headaches, fatigue, mental confusion, anxiety and muscle aches, can be lessened by regular Reiki treatments.
