Today is the last day of early registration for my Usui Reiki Level I training on Sunday, October 25, and I have been thinking about what a daily self-Reiki practice gives people when the world feels like too much.

When you practice self-Reiki each day, life can begin to feel more reassuring as your nervous system settles, and from that calmer place it becomes easier to feel hopeful again. It doesn’t change what is happening around us, but it gives you somewhere steady to return to at the end of a long day, which is why I keep coming back to it myself.

In Level I you receive your 4 initiations, learn the hand placements, and practice them with the group in a class limited to 6 students. Many of my students take it purely as a way to care for themselves, and that is reason enough to come.

Reiki can feel far from everyday life, like something for a retreat or a spa day. This study took it into the daily rhythm of a busy community mental health clinic.

At Zumbro Valley Health Center in Rochester, Minnesota, a team that included Mayo Clinic researchers offered outpatients a single Reiki session.

What stood out to me about this pilot study is who it looked at. These were people managing depression, PTSD, and anxiety on limited incomes, and the authors note that complementary care options for patients like them are limited. To their knowledge, it is the first study of Reiki and well-being in an underserved mental health population.

Ninety-one patients rated how they felt from 0 to 10 before and after a free session of up to an hour. Afterward, they rated themselves lower on stress, anxiety, and sadness, and higher on relaxation and calm.

The authors are plain about what it can’t tell us. It was one session with no comparison group, so there’s no way to know how much of the change came from Reiki itself. A pilot study is a bit like a first date: promising, but nobody is picking out curtains yet.

I think of a client who arrived feeling contorted. By the end of our time together her face had relaxed and she looked like herself again. She told me she hadn’t recognized herself in the mirror on the way in. One story isn’t proof, but it is the kind of shift these patients were rating, and I’m glad researchers are taking the time to ask.

Reiki is a complement to medical and mental health care, never a replacement for it. If you’re living with a mental health condition, please keep working with your doctor or therapist.

💛 A quick update: tonight's Reiki Share (Wednesday, September 9) has been cancelled. The air conditioning at the space is out and maintenance is still working on it, so I don't want to bring everyone into an uncomfortable room.

I'm sorry for the short notice to anyone who had it on their calendar! I'll share a new date as soon as it's set — stay tuned.

Thank you for your understanding, and I hope to see you at the next one. 💛

A study published earlier this year in Frontiers in Psychology caught my attention, and I thought you might find it interesting too.

Researchers looked at brief, ten-minute Reiki sessions offered in community settings, specifically to people carrying significant stress in their daily lives, including frontline professionals. Data was collected across 59 separate events, and after each session, participants were asked to rate how they felt compared to before.
Consistently, people reported lower stress and less pain after a single ten-minute session.

Something worth knowing about this study: the data is self-reported, meaning participants described how they felt before and after each session rather than being measured by any clinical instrument. That is a real limitation, and I would rather say so than gloss over it. But it is also exactly the kind of data that matters in practice. When someone tells you they feel less stressed and less burdened by pain, that experience is real to them.

What I find encouraging is what a ten-minute window can do. I hear from a lot of people who want to try Reiki but feel like they need to carve out a significant block of time, or that a single session will not be enough to notice anything. Research like this challenges that assumption.

Reiki supports the nervous system. It is a practice that meets you where you are and gives your body an opportunity to rest and restore. Even briefly.

If you have been curious, I would love to hear from you. Visit Reiki4WellBeing.com to learn more or book a session.

July 4th has a different ring to it this year. Two hundred and fifty years since our nation first declared its independence, and it has me thinking about what freedom actually feels like in the body, not just in the history books.

Freedom isn't only something we celebrate once a year with fireworks. It's something we can practice daily, in the quiet moments when we choose calm over chaos, presence over worry. My own Reiki practice has taught me that real freedom often starts on the inside, long before it shows up anywhere else.

As you celebrate this milestone with family, friends, food, and fireworks, I hope you also find a moment to breathe, place a hand on your heart, and notice the freedom that already lives within you.

Wishing you a joyful and meaningful 250th. Happy Independence Day.

Something came to mind recently that I had not thought about in a while, and I wanted to share it.

A few years ago, a nurse practitioner working on her graduate thesis reached out and asked if I would be willing to be part of her research. Her study was examining the effect of Reiki as a mind-body, holistic intervention on hope and self-efficacy in adults. I was genuinely touched to be asked and said yes without hesitation.

Over four weeks, I offered Reiki sessions to 13 participants, 20 minutes once a week. The majority were offered distant sessions, with participants in different cities and states. A few were in person.
Each participant completed assessments before and after the series, and because the study followed academic and ethical guidelines, participant information was protected by HIPAA, so there is a limit to what I am able to share publicly.

What I can share is that roughly 80% of participants reported feeling more hopeful after their sessions, with many noting that feeling grew stronger after completing all four. The study also examined self-efficacy, though I do not have the full results on that measure to share here. And because this is self-reported data, meaning participants described their own experience rather than being measured clinically, I want to say that clearly. I would rather be honest about that than gloss over it.

What I find myself thinking about is the word hope itself. Hope is about how you relate to what is ahead of you. When someone who is struggling can access even a small shift in their sense of possibility, that is worth paying attention to.

I am not sharing this as proof of anything. Just a personal experience I had almost forgotten about that felt worth passing along. Maybe it is something to contemplate now. Maybe it is something to file away for later. Either way, I am glad I remembered it.

Reiki Level I Training is June 21, 10:30 am to 6:30 pm, and 3 spots are still available.

If you have been on the fence, I want to offer you this: there is no perfect moment to begin a self-care practice. There is only the moment you decide to.

June 21 is the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and it happens to be a Sunday with a small group of people gathering to learn something that will serve them for the rest of their lives.

Spaces are limited. I would love to save one for you.

Reiki Level I class in Pinellas Park, FL. Hands-on training, small group, lifetime support. Three spring dates. Limited space — register now.

06/14/2026

One week from today, a small group of students will spend the summer solstice learning something that will support them for the rest of their lives.

I want to tell you what they will actually leave with, because I think it matters.

They will leave with their 4 initiations into the practice of Usui Reiki, which means the practice is theirs. Not borrowed. Not contingent on anything. Theirs. They will leave knowing how to give themselves a complete self-Reiki session, hand placements, sequencing, the full practice, so that the next time life feels heavy, or sleep is hard, or the nervous system needs a reset, they have something real to turn to.

They will leave having practiced on other people in a supported setting, which means they already have experience, not just knowledge.

And they will leave with a community. The people you train with in a room of 6 students become something more than classmates. They become the beginning of a practice community, and our Reiki shares keep that going long after class day.

The investment is $335. The practice is for life.

There are still a couple of spots open for June 21.
