Reiki Pilot Program

In 2007 we provided a Reiki Pilot Program for Fairbanks Addiction Treatment Center.  Reiki treatments were approximately 45 – 60 minutes for adult in-patients and those in recovery.  We provided 64 sessions from 9/17/07 through 10/12/07.  A Likert scale was used pre- and post-sessions to determine levels of stress and pain.  Click on Research for the statistics.  Comments from the clients are below:

• Amazing anxiety reduction.
• I came in with back pain and left with none.  Remarkable, unexplainable.
• I love doing this, it is a wonderful experience.
• My pain not as bad afterward (following the Reiki treatment).  I am okay for now.
• Great therapy.  I will tell everyone about this.
• Good stuff.  Would like this therapy often and highly recommend it.
• I feel much less stress.
• I really enjoyed the session – definitely helped the knee and ankle pain.
• Totally unstressed.
• The stress was cut in half.
