Soul Tree Reiki

What does the research say about Reiki?


Reiki is being used in a range of healthcare environments around the world, including hospitals, cancer support services, pain clinics and palliative care. As Reiki practitioners, we need to be careful not to make claims that Reiki can heal, cure or replace medical treatment.


We can, however, refer to the research. Studies have investigated Reiki in relation to areas such as anxiety, pain, wellbeing and quality of life, with many reporting positive findings.  Read more about some of these studies in our article Research into Reiki in Healthcare 

 Sirpa / Jyotipari

Yoga Instructor and Reiki Master Teacher

My Reiki journey started with curiosity, I wanted to understand how energy worked and get a glimpse of the source behind it. There is an old saying …. “When the student is ready the Master Appears.” I have been blessed to cross paths with some amazing Reiki Master Teachers each of whom have shared their unique perspective and individual experience with Reiki. I completed the following Reiki training:
  • Level 1 with Ann Kerwin
  • Level 2 / Reiki Practitioner with Judi Harriman
  • Level 3a / Reiki Master Practitioner with Tania Bruce
  • Level 3b / Reiki Master Teacher with Ann Kerwin
  • In 2023 I redid all reiki levels (1-4) in person with Inamoto Hyakuten of Komyo ReikiDo

Alongside Reiki I studied to be a Yoga Instructor and did my Level 1, 2 & 3 Instructor training with Ashram Yoga. This has given me greater insight and practical experience of the workings of the energetic body which complement my reiki practice.

I am a member of the Reiki AssociationNZ , Yoga NZ and the international Yoga Alliance .
