I thought for a long time about how to begin this post — and whether I should write it at all. Fertility is such a personal and delicate journey.
I’m a mother of two wonderful daughters. For many years, I believed motherhood wasn’t for me. I traveled, worked hard, enjoyed life — and then, one day, everything changed.
Now, I often think of those who long to become parents, only to discover that conceiving is not easy — not for them, and not for their partner. If I were in that place, I know I would try everything that might help.
So maybe this post is an invitation?
An invitation to pause.
To explore Reiki as a natural and complementary fertility therapy — one that supports body, mind, and energy.
What Is Reiki, and How Can It Support Fertility?
Reiki is a Japanese energy technique that promotes deep relaxation and balance. It’s non-invasive, gentle, and safe. But more than that, it may offer emotional and energetic support to those struggling with infertility or trying to get pregnant naturally.
During a Reiki session, you lie down fully clothed while the practitioner places their hands lightly on or above your body. The goal is to restore the flow of energy (called “ki” or “chi”) and activate the body’s natural healing processes.
It may sound subtle — but it has powerful effects.
5 Ways Reiki May Support Fertility
1. Reiki Reduces Stress and Cortisol
High levels of stress can interfere with ovulation, hormone production, and menstrual cycles. Reiki is proven to lower cortisol levels — the stress hormone — and help calm the nervous system
(clinicaltrials.gov, mater.clinic).
Lower stress = a more fertile body.
2. Improved Blood Flow to Reproductive Organs
Reiki stimulates microcirculation, which can increase the flow of oxygen and nutrients to the ovaries and uterus. While scientific research is still limited, this may support follicle development and uterine lining preparation.
3. Emotional Support During Fertility Treatments
Infertility feels emotionally overwhelming.
Reiki helps release negative energy, reduce anxiety, and support emotional resilience. Many women report better sleep, greater calm, and a renewed connection with their bodies.
4. Real-Life Reiki Fertility Success Stories
On Reiki.org, a couple shares their story of conceiving after four months of regular Reiki sessions. Their cycle and metabolism improved, and they even learned to treat each other with Reiki. While not clinical proof, it’s a powerful personal testimony.
How to Use Reiki When Trying to Conceive
- 🗓 Schedule regular Reiki sessions — ideally weekly, especially around ovulation or IVF transfer dates.
- 🧘♀️ Practice self-Reiki or guided meditations at home to deepen your mind-body connection.
- 🌸 Work with a certified Reiki practitioner experienced in fertility support.
- 🩺 Use Reiki as a complementary therapy — not as a substitute for medical fertility care.
An Invitation to Gentle Healing
If you’re walking the path of trying to conceive and feeling overwhelmed, this is a reminder:
You don’t have to do it all alone.
You can pause. You can rest.
You can invite softness into your body and energy into your womb space.
Reiki for fertility is not a miracle cure — but it may be a powerful ally in your journey.
It helps you feel supported, reconnected, and a little more whole.
I also offer a personalized Reiki program combined with sound massage – a gentle and deeply relaxing experience designed to support your fertility journey on all levels: physical, emotional, and energetic. Each session is tailored to your individual needs, helping you reconnect with your body, calm the nervous system, and create space for new life to grow.
🌀 The impact of sound therapy on fertility is a fascinating topic in itself – one I’ll explore more deeply in upcoming articles and resources.
Wherever you are — just starting or somewhere in the middle — I see you.
And I send you warmth, healing energy, and hope.
