Reiki for Pregnancy & Birth Workers
Through my two pregnancies, I became well acquainted with the unique opportunities and challenges that carrying, birthing and caring for a baby brings to all realms of life: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual and relational. Reiki is particularly well suited to support families in all of these realms, both as a self-practice, and by receiving Reiki sessions.

Connect & Sync Sessions with Your Birth Partner:
These 90-minute sessions are designed for you and your birth partner(s) to support you in connecting and syncing up together as a birthing team. Reiki helps us to remember the wholeness of our true self and the interconnectedness of all life, and can therefore deeply support you, your birth partner(s) and your baby in building a powerful energetic connectedness for the birthing journey.
These sessions include a guided breathing practice and meditation that you can take into the delivery room with you, and then a tandem table Reiki session wherein both partners receive Reiki together.
Empowered Childbirth with Reiki Self-Paced Course:
Drawing practices from the system of Reiki, this class is for those who are pregnant or are planning to become pregnant, who seek pathways of empowerment, connection and embodiment inside of your pregnancy, birthing and parenting journey. It is also for birth workers and support folks who want to deepen their birth support toolkit.
In this class you will learn three foundational practices of the system of Reiki from it’s Japanese origins, with the
emphasis on the use of Reiki during pregnancy, birth and to support your growing child. We will apply these practices in several ways that specifically support you to:
Help form a deep energetic connection with the baby, for profound early bonding between unborn baby and family;
Bring deep relaxation into the core of your being, to ease pain and discomfort during pregnancy, delivery and postpartum, and help adjust to the ever-changing nature of pregnancy;
Prepare the body and spirit for the birthing process for both baby and family;
*Birthing partners and birthworkers will learn practices for sharing Reiki with the birthing parent, baby and themselves throughout the birthing process.
Birthworkers will leave with practices you can teach your clients to support them in the ways described above.
