Medical / Clinical Reiki

in Women’s Health

Clinical Reiki at Possié Integrative Medicine is delivered within a trauma-informed, clinically governed framework, supporting nervous system regulation as part of a wider women’s health approach.

Evidence-Informed, Trauma-Aware Care

This work focuses on supporting the nervous system, which plays a central role in:

  • Hormonal function

  • Fertility and reproductive health

  • Digestive function

  • Emotional wellbeing

  • Stress regulation and resilience

  • Physiological balance

Clinical Application

Nervous system support can be particularly beneficial across:

  • Fertility and preconception

  • Pregnancy

  • Postnatal recovery

  • Hormonal and reproductive health

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive therapeutic approach involving light touch or hands placed above the body.

Within a clinical setting, its primary effects are understood through:

  • Activation of the parasympathetic nervous system

  • Reduction in stress response

  • Support of autonomic regulation

Rather than focusing on theory or belief systems, clinical Reiki is approached through its observable physiological effects — particularly in reducing sympathetic (“fight or flight”) dominance.

Complementary therapies are offered within a clinically governed framework.
Some services may be eligible for reimbursement under private health insurance depending on your provider and policy. Receipts are provided for all services, and we recommend confirming your level of cover in advance.

Delivered within a clinically governed framework, this work complements structured women’s health care and may be integrated into broader treatment plans.

Suitable for:

  • Pre Menstrual Syndrome (PMS) / Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD)

Postnatal Recovery

€110

A restorative Reiki session supporting recovery in the postnatal period. Following birth, the body and nervous system require time to regulate and integrate.

Delivered within a trauma-informed clinical framework, recognising the complexity of the postnatal period.

Suitable for:

  • Postnatal recovery

  • Birth integration

  • Anxiety or emotional overwhelm

  • Hormonal adjustment Supports grounding, regulation, and recovery.

Delivered within a structured, trauma-informed environment, this is particularly supportive for women experiencing ongoing stress or complex health patterns.

Suitable for:

  • Anxiety and overwhelm

  • Burnout • Chronic stress

  • Hormone–mood interaction Supports regulation, clarity, and stability.

Reiki in Clinical Practice — National Maternity Hospital

Evidence Base & Clinical Relevance

There is a growing body of research exploring Reiki and related therapies in clinical environments.

Evidence suggests potential benefits in:

  • Reducing anxiety and stress

  • Supporting pain management

  • Improving patient relaxation and wellbeing

  • Enhancing recovery environments

In women’s health, this is particularly relevant because:

  • Stress physiology directly impacts hormonal regulation

  • The nervous system influences reproductive function

  • Emotional and physical states are closely interconnected

Clinical Experience — 10+ Years in Women’s Health

Sarah has been working with Reiki in a clinical context for over 10 years, supporting women across:

  • Fertility and conception journeys

  • Pregnancy care

  • Postnatal recovery

  • Hormonal and reproductive health conditions

In practice, women often report:

  • Deep relaxation

  • Reduced anxiety

  • Improved sense of connection to their body

  • Greater emotional regulation

  • Support during complex or prolonged health journeys

Particularly in fertility care, Reiki has been used as a supportive modality alongside medical and integrative approaches, with many women describing it as a key part of their overall care experience.

The Experience

Reiki sessions are:

  • Calm

  • Non-invasive

  • Fully consent-led

  • Delivered within a safe, regulated environment

You remain fully in control at all times.

There is no expectation to believe in anything or to “do” anything.

The focus is simple:
to support your body into a state where regulation, healing, and clarity can occur.

When It May Be Appropriate

Reiki may be supportive if you are:

  • Experiencing stress, anxiety, or overwhelm

  • Navigating fertility challenges

  • Pregnant or preparing for birth

  • In postnatal recovery

  • Managing hormonal or chronic symptoms

  • Seeking support alongside medical care

A Final Note

Reiki is not about replacing medicine.

It is about supporting the conditions in which medicine can work more effectively.

In a system that is often fast, clinical, and outcome-focused,
this offers something different:

Why This Matters in Women’s Health

Women’s health is not purely mechanical.

Hormones, digestion, mood, and reproductive function are all influenced by:

  • Nervous system state

  • Stress physiology

  • Emotional experience

A body in a constant state of dysregulation:

  • Struggles to ovulate optimally

  • Struggles with digestion and inflammation

  • Experiences amplified symptoms

Reiki supports a shift toward regulation, which is foundational for:

  • Hormonal balance

  • Fertility

  • Recovery

  • Overall wellbeing

Integrated, Not Isolated

At Possié Integrative Medicine, Reiki may be recommended as part of:

  • Fertility support pathways

  • Pregnancy care

  • Postnatal recovery

  • Nervous system regulation strategies

Every recommendation is:

  • Clinically reasoned

  • Individualised

  • Discussed collaboratively

Academic & Teaching Background

In addition to clinical work, Sarah has:

  • Lectured in University College Dublin (UCD)

  • Taught on topics including:

    • Promoting normal birth

    • Spiritual midwifery

    • Holistic approaches within clinical care

Her work bridges:

  • Medical education

  • Clinical practice

  • Integrative, whole-person care

Sarah Possié RM has been directly involved in the teaching and training of midwives within the National Maternity Hospital, Holles Street, supporting the development of a Reiki service within a hospital setting.

This work contributed to the establishment of a structured Reiki clinic, which has been:

  • Integrated into maternity care

  • Delivered within a clinical governance framework

  • Sustained and growing since 2018

This reflects a broader shift within healthcare toward recognising the role of:

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Psychological safety

  • Supportive, non-invasive interventions

in improving patient experience and outcomes.
