Welcome. At The Reiki Expert™, we recognize nursing as both a clinical science and a human art - a critically important and compassionately practiced profession grounded in deep knowledge, experience based judgment, carefully contemplated discernment, and the healing power of therapeutic presence.
Guided by our principle - BALANCED HEALTH, ENERGIZED NATURALLY® - we are honored to offer an Illinois nurse Continuing Education (CE) pathway that mirrors the professionalism, demand, delivery, and rigor of your practice.
The Reiki Expert™ is an Illinois Department of Financial & Professional Regulation (IDFPR) approved Nurse Continuing Education Sponsor (License #236.000245). Illinois licensed nurses - LPN, RN, APN, CRNP, and APRN-FPA - may earn CE hours through our structured, curated, in-person weekend Reiki training programs from Level 1 through Level 3B.
Most CE pathways expand knowledge; fewer expand clinical presence.
This CE training is intentionally designed to be:
Experiential & Supervised
You learn through guided practice, supervised technique, and real-time feedback in a professionally structured environment - not only through reading or testing.
Skill-Oriented
Training emphasizes practical, repeatable methods that support calm presence, patient comfort awareness, and the cultivation of a therapeutic environment within appropriate clinical scope.
Integrative & Complementary
Reiki is taught here as a gentle, non-invasive complementary modality used alongside - never instead of - standard medical diagnosis and treatment.
Restorative for the Caregiver
The program includes structured centering practices that many nurses find valuable in sustaining steadiness during demanding clinical days.
In the medical and healthcare world, Reiki is commonly referenced within Energy Medicine, Integrative Medicine, and Complementary Care discussions. In practice, nurses most often encounter Reiki-related integrative frameworks as part of supportive care conversations connected with:
Oncology & Infusion Services
Supporting calm, grounded presence during high-anxiety treatment visits
Comfort-focused, non-invasive support alongside standard care
Therapeutic presence during long or repetitive treatment sessions
Patient-centered communication around integrative options (scope-aware)
Family/caregiver support through calmer environmental presence
Peri-Operative & Surgical Recovery (Pre-Op / PACU / Post-Op)
Pre-procedure calming presence during intake, prep, and education
Comfort support during waiting, uncertainty, and anticipatory anxiety
Post-procedure grounding presence within recovery flow and policy
Gentle, non-invasive support compatible with sterile/non-touch needs
Consistent scope-responsible framing alongside medical treatment

Therapeutic rapport support through steadiness and attuned presence
Non-touch delivery options when clinically appropriate
Palliative & Hospice Care
Comfort-centered supportive presence in whole-person care environments
Compassionate steadiness for patients and families during difficult transitions
Non-invasive support aligned with comfort goals and patient preference
Gentle supportive environment contribution alongside standard care
Respectful scope and language in sensitive moments
Acute & Chronic Pain Management
Comfort-supportive presence alongside established pain plans and protocols
Calming, grounding support during acute distress and escalation moments
Patient-centered rapport during pain education and expectation setting
Non-invasive, policy-consistent approach appropriate across care settings
Scope-aware integrative framing when patients ask about complementary options
(Across all settings, training reinforces ethical scope, facility policy awareness, patient consent preference, and responsible integrative framing.)
This training is designed to support how you prepare, communicate, and show up in patient care - within your scope - across real clinical settings.
Across IDFPR-recognized nursing license levels - LPN, RN, APN, CRNP, and APRN-FPA - nurses commonly value gains such as:
Stronger pre-procedure calming presence during patient intake, preparation, and education conversations.
Improved steadiness and clarity during high-anxiety, high-uncertainty encounters.
More grounded bedside manner during pain, distress, or emotional overload situations.
Practical relaxation-support techniques usable within appropriate scope and policy.
Enhanced sensitivity to patient stress signals and comfort cues.
Better self-regulation during rapid clinical task flow and decision-heavy shifts.
Clearer confidence when patients ask about complementary or integrative options.
A distinctive integrative-care competency that differentiates your professional profile.
For advanced license holders (APN / CRNP / APRN-FPA), additional value often includes:
Stronger integrative-care literacy for interdisciplinary collaboration and patient education
Broader whole-person support framing within appropriate professional scope
Greater confidence discussing non-pharmacologic comfort-support options responsibly
These are human-factor clinical strengths: practical, repeatable, and professionally relevant.
