I was first introduced to Reiki when the Director of Critical Care Nursing, and Associate Director of Integrative Nursing at the OSU Med Center came into a class and discussed the practical use of this alternative form of healing through a lecture. In my research I have found that Reiki is a vibrational, or subtle energy, therapy most commonly facilitated by light touch, which is believed to balance the biofield and strengthen the body's ability to heal itself. Although systematic study of efficacy is scant thus far, Reiki is increasingly used as an adjunct to conventional medical care, both in and out of hospital settings.

I am very interested in alternative forms of medicine and healing and had to find the best Reiki practitioner in the area. After researching, I found Linda Haley who is a master reiki practitioner, teacher, and an incredibly passionate and fulfilled individual. She has been practicing for decades and has found a way to mix her passion, her purpose, and her profession all in one space that she has created from the ground up. I am incredibly grateful I had the opportunity to connect with such a wise leader who approached her work and life from an incredibly spiritual lens. I learned a lot recording this episode and hope you will appreciate Linda’s message as much as I did.
