Reiki in Medical Systems: With Kae Fink

How can Reiki thrive in hospitals and medical settings? This week, we’re joined by Kae Fink, a Reiki Master and board-certified holistic nurse, who shares her inspiring journey of bringing Reiki into clinical care at University Hospitals Connor Whole Health in Cleveland, Ohio.

Kae’s work is a model for how Reiki can complement modern medicine—offering stress reduction, emotional support, and comfort to patients, staff, and caregivers alike. Her story is rooted in decades of experience as a caregiver, nurse, massage therapist, and health coach. Through her leadership, she’s developed a volunteer-based Reiki program that now operates across multiple outpatient and inpatient cancer centers, guided by clear protocols, measurable outcomes, and an unwavering commitment to patient-centered care.

In this episode, you’ll hear about: •    Kae’s early experiences with Reiki and how it transformed her nursing career.li •    The development of a hospital-based Reiki volunteer program from the ground up. •    How Kae launched a hospital Reiki program with philanthropic support •    Integrative language that helps Reiki practitioners communicate within medical settings. •    Research-backed outcomes showing Reiki’s benefits for pain, anxiety, and patient well-being. •    Training programs for medical staff, volunteers, and even patient families. •    Practical advice for bringing Reiki into your local hospital or clinic.

Kae’s passion and professionalism reveal how Reiki can truly be a healing bridge between worlds—medical and spiritual, science and energy. Whether you’re a practitioner, a nurse, or someone looking to be of service through Reiki, you’ll find this conversation both educational and deeply uplifting.
