Is Reiki safe to use during pregnancy?

There is evidence that the use of Reiki before, during, and after pregnancy has positive results both for the mother and baby. Reiki has become a more mainstream and acceptable form of alternative treatment. It is becoming integrated within hospitals, recreation and major sports organizations, as well as in private practice. It is a popular alternative treatment that doctors are now referring to their patients. In fact, the National Institutes of Health National Cancer Intituties Pain Clinic's nurse practitioners are all certified Reiki practitioners

One Reiki Master-Teacher, Beth Simmons Stapor, reported in a Reiki News article that a client who was four months pregnant decided to take a Reiki I workshop. During her attunement, she experienced the baby responding to the energy flow. As her pregnancy progressed she gave her baby reiki treatments. After his birth he was nicknamed the 'Reiki Baby', as he was so relaxed and contented. The mother reported that on many occasions it appeared that her baby reached out to exchange Reiki energy with her and others. She has also used Reiki to help him through teething, childhood falls, and illnesses.
