Combining the Healing Powers of Touch and Community
Introducing Communities of Care
I’m so excited to announce a new initiative designed to combine community support and Reiki offerings. Basically, I want to offer create somatic peer support groups through the curation of Reiki 1 classes, as well as offering community clinics for donation-based Reiki for specific communities.
What do I mean by that? I’m teaching a Reiki 1 class for people diagnosed with early stage breast cancer (a road I walked in 2023!) so that the group can support each other with supportive touch through whatever treatments, surgeries, or challenges may come. I also have a client who asked me to create a Reiki 1 class for end-of-life workers, as Reiki is a very good fit for this type of work, and they can buoy each other through the challenging moments of the work. Lastly, I’ll be offering donation-based Reiki sessions for veterans in collaboration with Oakland Reiki Center and San Francisco Buddhist Center, to introduce the veterans to this safe, drugless, holistic therapy.
Over time I will offer classes and clinics for a variety of different groups. I’m also fundraising through the non-profit Reiki Centers of America so that I can create a scholarship fund to support veterans, cancer patients, end-of-life workers, and more. In September 2024, I’ll be hosting a donation-based portrait/headshot fundraiser where you can get a new image of yourself in exchange for a tax-deductible donation.
Upcoming Events
Reiki 1 Class for Stage 0/1 Breast Cancer Patients
I'm planning a special Reiki 1 class for people who have been diagnosed with early stage breast cancer. Please fill out the form below if you might be interested in attending! I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year (stage 1a) and had a mastectomy and reconstruction in 2023. It was incredibly helpful having a community of Reiki friends to support me through the pre- and post- surgery anxiety, the healing and rest after, etc. I would like to give that gift of community to other folks going through this.
Dates TBD • 10 AM - 6 PM for two days • Reiki Patio loft
