Oncology Reiki
​
I have experienced first-hand the benefits of giving Reiki sessions to people diagnosed with cancer. After their session, they reported having less anxiety, fatigue, nausea, pain, and stress. As a cancer survivor myself, I have used self-Reiki throughout my cancer journey to reduce my pain and anxiety.
I am passionate about helping people on their personal healing journey with Reiki, especially oncology patients, survivors, caregivers, and their loved ones. When I lived in Las Vegas, I gave Reiki sessions to those affected by cancer at The Caring Place, an adult services program which provides no-cost programs and services to those who have or have had cancer, as well as their caregivers.
​
In 2023 I received Oncology Reiki Practitioner Certification with Reiki Master Teacher, Kerri Draper of Huntington Beach Reiki. Kerri started a Reiki treatment program at Hoag Memorial Presbyterian Hospital’s Cancer Center in Newport Beach, CA. Through this program, Reiki treatments are given to cancer patients and doctors twice a month.
The International Association of Reiki Professionals has an article about Reiki and cancer research. It features a 2011 article in the “American Journal of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (R) described a three-year study which found Reiki sessions were helpful for improving:
​
-
Well-being
-
Relaxation
-
Pain relief
-
Quality of sleep
-
Anxiety levels​
