In seeing how Reiki benefits my life, my pregnancies, and the lives of my family and friends who have experienced Reiki, I have made it part of my mission to continue to research Reiki, as well as other energy modalities, integrative medicine and functional medicine, as extensively as I can in order to provide peer-reviewed, science-based information to those persons who are skeptical or ambivalent on the benefits of Reiki or other alternative treatments. While the NIH government website may cite some inconclusive studies related to the benefits of Reiki, there are other studies that show a benefit, both on the NIH website as well as other medical research platforms. The University of Minnesota has a Center for Spirituality and Healing which has utilized Reiki in its practice. The Arizona State University has a Holistic Medicine Fellowship for practicing MDs. Duke University has a Center for Integrative Medicine. Harvard University has a Center for Reiki Research. More and more, Western medical universities and the Western medical community appear to willingly accept the benefits of integrative and complementary medicine.
