Reiki supports pregnant people through the on-going physical, emotional and spiritual changes of pregnancy; this process helps to prepare them for childbirth. Reiki therapy is a safe, non-invasive, holistic energy therapy for mothers to use throughout pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. There are no contraindications for receiving Reiki. Receiving Reiki in pregnancy has been shown to reduce stress + anxiety, pain, nausea + morning sickness, and improve quality of sleep. Reiki can also be helpful in turning a breech baby, inducing labor, placenta previa, fibroids, and more.

For new parents, Reiki offers a safe and supportive space for them to re-orientate to themselves and their bodies after the birth of their baby. There is a tremendous amount of mental weight, or emotional labor, that exists after birth. Reiki can be used to promote the body’s own natural healing processes, physical and emotional healing from a lengthy or traumatic birth, ease postpartum depression and anxiety. Many new parents feel so comforted by the session that they often drift off to sleep. Your newborn is welcome to attend the session and receive Reiki as well!

Reiki (ray-key) is a gently, natural healing energy activated by intention. It works on every level, not just the physical. The word ‘Reiki’ comes from “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” meaning life energy. Reiki helps stimulate and accelerate the body’s own natural healing processes, bringing it back into balance and alignment. As the nature of Reiki is deeply relaxing and calming, it can help to reduce stress and promote sleep. Reiki is safe to use on all, including pets, children, and newborns.
