Trusted to Carry the Light: An Endorsement from Medical Reiki Works®

​"Medical Reiki Works supports this all-important teaching to preserve Raven Keyes' life mission to train Reiki Masters to work in Healthcare facilities. Marleen Duffy is the perfect Reiki Teacher to offer this course due to her qualifications and expertise - and most importantly because of Marleen's deep respect for Raven. In Marleen, Raven recognized the integrity, professionalism, and spirituality required to maintain the standards set forth by her. She entrusted Marleen to serve as a teacher in the Certified Medical Reiki Master program and endorsed the creation of Medical Reiki Ireland. Medical Reiki International is an arm of that organization, which now stretches across the globe to provide CMRM training to Reiki Masters.​"

"As a close colleague and friend of Raven Keyes, I can say with confidence that I have never met anyone who brings to the teaching of Medical Reiki as many of the same attributes and gifts Raven possessed as Marleen Duffy. The spirit of Raven's teaching clearly lives on in Marleen's carefully designed and inspirational training. Her own extensive experience in both the teaching and practice of Medical Reiki, as well as her years-long friendship and collaboration with Raven Keyes, make Marleen the perfect person to help create a well-qualified new generation of Certified Medical Reiki Masters."

"Helene Williams brings an impressive array of qualifications and experience to helping Reiki Masters acquire the unique set of knowledge and skills needed for effective and ethical professional practice in clinical settings. Her years in nursing practice and her depth of Medical Reiki experience are so well suited for helping Reiki Masters enter healthcare environments with greater confidence. Helene is very well-known and respected in the Reiki community for her work and teaching promoting the use of Reiki in medicine. We are so fortunate to have her partnering with Medical Reiki International to share her expertise with those preparing to become Certified Medical Reiki Masters."

Medical Reiki Works – Our Shared Mission

​

Founded in 2017, Medical Reiki Works™ is a nonprofit organisation dedicated to advancing the integration of Medical Reiki into clinical settings through scientific research and professional education. Medical Reiki is the practice of delivering Reiki energy during medical procedures by specially trained practitioners, known as Certified Medical Reiki Masters. These professionals work seamlessly alongside medical teams, following all protocols while providing non-invasive support that helps reduce stress, anxiety, and pain, enhancing patients’ natural healing responses.

​

At the heart of Medical Reiki Works is a mission inspired by the pioneering efforts of the late Raven Keyes, who co-founded the organisation with Dr Sheldon Marc Feldman, Chief of Breast Surgery at Montefiore Einstein in New York. Their collaboration demonstrated the powerful benefits of Reiki in surgical environments, including smoother procedures, less pain, and faster recovery.

​

As part of this shared vision, Medical Reiki Works is currently funding and overseeing a clinical pilot study at Montefiore Einstein Comprehensive Cancer Centre. Led by Dr Feldman and Dr Alyson Moadel-Robblee, this landmark study is evaluating Reiki’s effect on recovery outcomes, quality of life, and stress biomarkers in breast cancer surgery patients. The results of this research will help establish a strong scientific foundation for wider acceptance of Reiki in medicine and, ultimately, inclusion in insurance-covered care.

​

At Medical Reiki International, we are proud to be endorsed by Medical Reiki Works. In support of their essential mission, we donate to Medical Reiki Works to contribute directly to Reiki research and the ongoing clinical study.

​

This is our way of honouring Raven’s legacy and ensuring that her vision of compassionate, integrative care continues to expand across the globe. Through education, collaboration, and shared purpose, we are helping to bring Reiki into the future of healthcare, where it belongs.
