Reiki is a gentle, evidence-supported energy healing practice that helps calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and support emotional regulation. It involves light touch (or hands held just above the body) to channel energy to areas where you're holding tension—emotionally or physically.

It’s used in over 800 hospitals across the U.S., including Harvard, Yale, and the Cleveland Clinic, as a complementary therapy for anxiety, pain management, trauma recovery, and more.

Research shows that Reiki can significantly reduce stress, anxiety, and depression symptoms, while improving heart rate variability—a key indicator of nervous system health. A 2019 study published in Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine found that just one 30-minute session of Reiki led to statistically significant reductions in anxiety and pain compared to placebo.
