Reiki, meaning "Universal Life Force Energy'', is an ancient Japanese healing art where the hands are used as a channel for healing energy. Reiki brings balance and harmony to the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. The gentle nature of this holistic practice is especially beneficial for expectant and new mothers because it helps prepare them & their partner for the physical, emotional and spiritual changes necessary for a “centered” pregnancy, labor and postpartum recovery experience.

Pregnancy and motherhood are times of rapid change and Reiki is a gentle way to help make all of the changes much more manageable, while supporting your connection with your baby. When an expectant mother is empowered by Reiki during pregnancy, the baby also benefits. Babies who received Reiki Initiate Attunement in the womb have been reported to be strong, healthy, and seem to connect more deeply to the world around them.

Reiki can also be used to ease postpartum depression and anxiety, promote physical and emotional healing from a lengthy or traumatic birth, and help mothers with breastfeeding difficulties.

We will open the workshop to Reiki Certified students for the Prenatal / Postnatal portion from 1pm-2:30pm where we will cover: benefits during pregnancy & labor including hand positions and intentions for treatment / ways to use Reiki for baby & mama postpartum & beyond / group Reiki share and practice. $25 for those already certified.
