Reiki Women Podcasts

This is one of the most common questions we receive, and in this episode, we answer it honestly.

If this podcast has supported you, please consider supporting us in return 💛
You can donate to our GoFundMe here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-re...

Your contribution helps us continue sharing grounded conversations about the system of Reiki, women’s voices, and the deeper questions people are often afraid to ask.

We explore whether belief is required in the system of Reiki, why it was designed to be accessible regardless of religion, and why this practice is experiential rather than faith-based. I share why I often suggest a “suspension of disbelief”, like watching a movie instead of trying to force sensations or outcomes during a session.

We also talk about:

✨ What “Ki” really means is life force energy and the body’s natural intelligence
✨ Why first sessions can feel uncertain
✨ The importance of multiple treatments and building trust
✨ Why looking for sensations can pull you out of the experience
✨ Parallels with acupuncture and integrative medicine
✨ Symptom flare-ups and why healing isn’t always linear
✨ Client stories from a broken toe to a kidney stone to unexpected shifts like improved hearing
✨ Placebo, skepticism, and why healthy questioning is welcome

The system of Reiki is not about blind belief. It’s about presence, balance, and allowing the body’s natural intelligence to respond.

If this episode resonates, please:
✔ Donate to support the podcast
✔ Comment with your questions or experiences
✔ Share with someone who has asked, “Do I have to believe in Reiki?”

Your support keeps these conversations alive.

We often hear the question: Am I giving my own energy during a Reiki session?

In this episode of the Reiki Women Podcast, we explore this common concern and share our understanding from both Western and Japanese perspectives of the system of Reiki. Many Western teachings distinguish between personal energy and universal Reiki energy, which can bring up worries about depletion, boundaries, picking up others’ energy, or the need for protection rituals. From the Japanese perspective, these distinctions don’t apply. Reiki is all energy, and a session is about being together in a shared space rather than “sending” or “channeling” energy from somewhere else.

🌸Nervous system and energetic hygiene in practice

Welcome to Radiance, a series from the Reiki Women Podcast, where we explore how the system of Reiki can support everyday life, spiritual practice, and meaningful service.

In this episode, we’re joined by Christiane Mikles, a professional pet sitter, Reiki practitioner, and longtime animal care professional. Christiane shares her journey from wildlife rehabilitation and veterinary assistance into blending Reiki with pet sitting, offering calm, presence, and energetic support to animals and their humans.

Together, we explore how Reiki can support animals during times of stress, illness, transition, and separation, and how trust, attunement, and presence are at the heart of ethical animal care. Christiane also speaks to the importance of working alongside veterinary medicine, honoring both science and spirit in compassionate pet care.

This conversation is filled with practical wisdom, lived experience, and gentle reminders that animals respond not just to what we do but to how we are with them.

✨ Whether you’re a Reiki practitioner, pet sitter, animal lover, or simply curious about energy work with animals, this episode offers insight, grounding, and inspiration.

In this Radiance Series episode of the Reiki Women Podcast, hosts Bronwen Logan, Carrie Varela, and Michaela Daystar are joined by Janet Dobbs, founder of Animal Paradise Communication and Healing, for a deeply touching conversation on Reiki, animal elders, and the sacred transitions at the end of life.

Janet shares how her Reiki journey unfolded through animal communication and how working closely with elder animals has shaped her understanding of authenticity, presence, and listening beyond words. Together, we explore the unique ways animals receive and respond to Reiki treatments, and how these relationships invite us into deeper compassion for animals and ourselves.

This episode tenderly weaves stories of companionship, loss, and love, illuminating how Reiki can support animals and humans during end-of-life moments. Janet speaks to the sacredness of these transitions, the importance of staying present, and the gentle ways Reiki continues to hold animals even beyond physical life.

A heartfelt conversation for animal lovers, Reiki practitioners, and anyone walking alongside an aging or transitioning animal, this episode is an invitation to honor the wisdom of animal elders and the healing bonds we share.

Welcome to Radiance, a series from the Reiki Women Podcast, where we explore how Reiki Ryoho is lived, practiced, and embodied in service to the world.

In this episode, we’re joined by Teresa Montalbo, Reiki practitioner and founder of Unleash Your Inner Peace in Niagara, Canada, for a heartfelt conversation on offering Reiki treatments in animal shelters.

Teresa shares her journey of working with shelter animals and the powerful shifts she has witnessed when animals are met with presence, patience, and compassionate care. From injured animals and first-time shelter experiences to pregnant animals, newborn puppies, and adoption support, this episode explores how the system of Reiki supports trust, regulation, and authentic expression in animals navigating stress and transition.

We also reflect on the ways animals become teachers in Reiki practice, the impact of this work on shelter staff, and how offering Reiki treatments in shelters can become both a personal calling and a meaningful path of service.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and honor the quiet wisdom animals share when we meet them with care.

Join us for a deeply moving episode of the Reiki Women Podcast – Radiance Series as we sit in conversation with Charis Nick-Torok — former attorney, educator, animal law advocate, and devoted Reiki practitioner whose life’s work bridges ethics, compassion, and care for wildlife.

Charis shares her remarkable vocational journey from the legal world into hands-on wildlife rehabilitation, where her Reiki practice became a powerful tool for supporting injured, captive, and free-roaming animals. She speaks to the importance of caregiver support, honoring animal agency, and practicing the system of Reiki through the Let Animals Lead method and the Usui Reiki Ryoho Tradition of Reiki.

Together, we explore the emotional and ethical complexities of working with wildlife, the distinctions between offering Reiki treatments to domestic versus wild animals, and how daily Reiki practice shapes both personal life and professional advocacy. This conversation is a heartfelt reflection on kindness, coexistence, and what it means to live in service to all beings.

✨ Special Highlight:

Dear Reiki Women Podcast listeners,

Thank you so much for being a part of our community! Reiki Women Podcast exists because of YOU—your listening, your presence, and your willingness to explore the system of Reiki together.

It is because of this continued engagement that we are able to look into 2026 excited to strengthen and grow this work and community! And to do that, we need to strengthen the structures that help us produce this podcast and related offerings.

The Reiki Women Podcast has been a labor of love for our team, with thousands of unpaid hours dedicated to filming, editing, and sharing meaningful conversations with our listeners.

So we’re launching a crowdfunding campaign to support the continued growth of the podcast and the creation of future conversations dedicated to centering women's voices, sharing insights from the Japanese origins of Reiki and empowering Reiki practitioners around the globe!

Your support of this campaign will allow us to:

• Hire an editor for the podcast, to free up the many hours Bronwen dedicates each month to editing and publishing the pod;

• Cover the cost of our editing software and other production costs;

• And keep this offering accessible and sustainable by allowing us to dedicate additional time for us to create new offerings in 2026.

A central purpose for Reiki Women Podcast is to uplift women’s voices, perspectives and leadership within the Reiki community. As advocates for women, we need to be firm about the importance of women being compensated for our labor, freeing us up to reciprocate even more value back into this community.

If you feel called, we would be so grateful for your contribution—whether that’s donating, sharing the campaign, or simply holding us in your thoughts. Every form of support truly matters and helps this work continue.

Thank you for walking this path with us and for being part of a community that believes in healing, connection, and authentic embodiment of the system of Reiki.

With gratitude,

Bronwen, Carrie and Michaela,
Hosts of the Reiki Women Podcast.

Radiance is an interview series focusing on meaningful topics from our community of Reiki practitioners. 

This season, we're exploring the intersection of Reiki and our animal companions across every stage of their lives and in the environments they inhabit.

From the vulnerable creatures and shelters waiting for homes to the aging pets we love through their final days. 

And from the wild beings we encounter in nature to the animals we care for professionally. We are acknowledging how our Reiki practice supports us to be open to animals as healers and teachers.

This series celebrates the profound bonds between humans and animals, and how Reiki practice can support both creatures in our care and those who dedicate themselves to animal welfare.
