For its practitioners, Reiki is a spiritual and healing practice. In medical settings, the holistic care of patients is at the core of an integrative healthcare programmes. In this webinar we will discuss the many ways Reiki practitioners can play an integral part in the quality of patients’ spiritual care. Also, we will show how specialist professional courses and training can prepare practitioners for this sensitive and demanding work.

Among our speakers we have Rev. Elaine Andres, who brings decades of experience as an interdenominational church minister and Reiki master from the US to enrich our webinar. She will share her first experience offering Reiki in a hospital setting and her experience of blending Reiki and spirituality. She will also talk about the importance of preparation and the Reiki practitioner’s role in spiritual care in the hospital.

From the UK, Martine Moorby, a Spiritual Companion – Educator and Reiki master, will talk to us about how Reiki is a natural partner for the work of a Spiritual Companion. Martine will give us an insight into how Reiki practitioners and medical professionals can develop their own spiritual health practice within an integrative healthcare setting, and help others working professionally or as a volunteer in multi-disciplinary teams (hospitals, schools, colleges, prisons, etc,).

From diagnosis to end of life, Soul Midwives provide a holistic and spiritual journey for those they care for, whether in hospital, hospice or at home. Krista Hughes, Soul Midwife and Mentor will introduce the wonders of Soul Midwifery and talk to us of how Reiki is such an important part of her work.
