Sustainable Health Care Group

Hello, my name is Sharon Penny and I am Clinical Coordinator for the UK Reiki Federation. My role is to answer any queries you may have around health and client treatments. As part of this role, I also lead the Sustainable Health Care Group, which currently has three members. Our role is to look at how we can encourage Health Care Professionals in all areas of care, such as GP surgeries, hospitals, nursing homes, care homes, schools and wellbeing centres, to use Reiki as part of their holistic care plans. We would really like to have some new members join us, so if this of interest to you, please contact me at [email protected].

We carried out a survey of UKRF members, which highlighted that fact that Reiki is widely used within the field of oncology (cancer treatment) at places like cancer care centres and hospices, where patients and staff report that Reiki is used with great effect. We would like to have the same effect across the whole of the health care sector in general. The UK Reiki Federation would like to ensure the general public and healthcare professionals are aware of the high standards that Reiki has now achieved and spread the word that Reiki can be viewed as a treatment therapy that has no known contraindications, thereby making it safe to use in acute medical settings.

At our last meeting, another point raised was that both Paula and Nikki said they were attending different events/festivals, giving Reiki taster treatments. These events are an ideal opportunity to let the general public know about the work of the UK Reiki Federation and that we hold a register of Practitioners, some of whom are CNHC verified. We have leaflets on our website that members can purchase and take with them to any such event, if they choose to. You never know who you could be planting a seed with, it could even be someone within our health care system.

Please do also share any events you may be attending or holding through our Reiki World magazine.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Peace and light,…
