Medical/Veterinary Reiki

Medical Reiki(TM) is the practice of Reiki in the hospital setting, pre-surgery, during surgery and post-surgery. Medical Reiki (TM) founder, Raven Keyes, started Reiki in the operating room with Dr. Mamet Oz in 2000.  

Pre-surgery, a Reiki Practitioner shares Reiki with the patient when s/he arrives at the hospital, balancing his/her energy, as well as reducing anxiety. The Reiki Practitioner may also sit with the family and share Reiki, offering them peace and calming and to reduce their anxiety. 

During surgery, a Reiki Practitioner is in the operating room during the surgery, sharing Reiki throughout the surgery. Reiki has an effect on the patient, as well as the doctors, nurses and other surgical staff, ensuring the surgery goes smoothly. 

Post-surgery, a Reiki Practitioner shares Reiki with the patient during post-op and often throughout the patient's recovery process. Immediately post-surgery, Reiki is offered while the patient is in recovery and may continue until they are settled into their room. Additionally, Reiki may be offered at various intervals during the recovery process either in person or via distance - daily, weekly, or as needed to aid in a quicker recovery process.
