A Reiki-trained dad can   

1.       Treat him, when he feels stressed or tired 

2.       Treat mom, during all stages of the pregnancy, labor, and afterwards,  

3.       not only to help look after her health,  

4.       but to remain connected with her (as new mothers do not always have the energy left to provide emotional connection to dad). 

5.       Treat the infant, for example if (s)/he is upset or awake in the middle of the night. (Always consult a doctor first if there is any chance that the infant is unwell or injured.) 

Reiki provides a benefit to the person giving the treatment, as well as to the recipient, so that dad’s health and stress levels improve by helping mom and baby. Learning Reiki provides dads with a concrete tool that benefits the entire family. 

Many dads are looking for ways to get involved and to provide as much substantial support as possible through the pregnancy, birth, and of course with the new infant.  Reiki is a tool to allow him to provide that support. 

There are significant stresses on the couple and their relationship imposed by an infant in the family;  

• Reiki provides a tool that helps maintain intimacy and care in the relationship,  
• While reducing stress and exhaustion for both partners.  

In a qualitative study of fifty postpartum women who participated in therapeutic touch during home visits focused on postpartum issues and concerns, the women felt:  

• Relaxed,  
• open,  
• cared for,  
• connected,  
• and sceptical (presumably of the type of treatment).  

Although it is unknown whether it was the visit,  

• The interaction,  
• or the therapeutic touch that helped the women feel cared for, 
• The experience of participating in therapeutic touch seemed to add a dimension of mutual caring that added a special and unique quality to the home visit. 

• We feel that Reiki would provide a better quality, though it was not studied.  
• We suggest that the couple’s post-partum relationship would benefit  

Infant Care 

"Reiki can help with fertility, pregnancy and children's illnesses. It's just a matter of removing tension at a time where the body is often stressed on many levels. The body needs to relax completely to do its job properly, whether you're trying to give birth, nurture a child or make a baby in the first place!" 

Reiki is also highly beneficial for babies. They are in tune with the loving energy flowing through their fathers. Growing babies have many needs and it is just as important that their energy be balanced. Connected to their father’s thoughts, moods, and emotions, babies feel the sense of calmness and peace created by Reiki. What a wonderful way for dad and baby to bond!
