Reiki Therapy through Opal Healing
Complementary Support for Emotional Regulation and Wellbeing.
At Opal Healing, we offer Reiki therapy as a gentle, non-invasive complementary treatment that supports emotional regulation, reduces stress, and enhances wellbeing. It is designed to work alongside trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming care, not as a replacement for clinical interventions
Why Reiki Can Help Children in Distress
Reiki promotes deep relaxation and activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping children transition from emotional overwhelm into a state of calm and safety. This is particularly beneficial for young people experiencing anxiety, sensory overload, or emotional dysregulation
As a complementary therapy, Reiki can enhance the effectiveness of approaches such as PACE, DBT, and polyvagal-informed care by supporting the body’s natural ability to regulate and heal.
Research Insight:
A 2022 study by Zadro & Stapleton, published in Frontiers in Psychology, found that Reiki produced significant improvements in mental health symptoms beyond placebo,including reductions in stress, anxiety, and emotional distress. These findings support Reiki’s role in promoting emotional balance and resilience—especially relevant for children navigating complex emotional experiences.
