Primarily virtual Reiki for rest from home.

Cheri’s Reiki is mostly Distance Reiki by video — a quiet, guided rest you take from home, fully clothed. In-person sessions are available by request when that fits better.

What is Reiki

A gentle practice — often at a distance

Reiki is a gentle Japanese relaxation practice that invites deep rest for the nervous system. Cheri offers most of her Reiki virtually as Distance Reiki over a simple video call: you rest fully clothed in a quiet place at home while she guides the session. Some people prefer an in-person table or chair session in the SF Bay Area — both are available; distance is simply how most of her clients work with her today.

Cheri is a Registered Nurse and certified Reiki practitioner (Level 2), with additional Motoki training. That nursing background matters: she understands your medical picture, communicates respectfully with your care team, and is clear about what Reiki is and isn’t. Reiki is a comfort-focused complement to medical treatment — it supports rest and balance, and is never presented as a cure.

What to expect

A session, start to finish.

You rest, fully clothed

At home for Distance Reiki (or on a table/chair in person). Nothing to do, nowhere to be — just permission to rest.

Quiet, guided care

In Distance Reiki, Cheri works remotely while you rest; in person she may use light hands-on or hovering hands, always with your consent. Many people feel warmth, tingling, or simply deep ease.

A settled nervous system

The quiet, unhurried pace helps your body shift into rest-and-digest, where recovery happens.

A gentle return

You come back slowly, often feeling relaxed and clearer. Cheri leaves time to talk about how you feel and what's next.

Reiki doesn't push or fix. It simply offers your body a quiet space to remember how to rest, reset, and connect.

Where this fits

Part of your whole-person path

Reiki is one pillar of integrative wellness at Chronic Health Wisdom, and it pairs naturally with meditation for deeper rest. Some coaching packages include complimentary Reiki sessions — see the packages page for details. If you’re managing a diagnosis, condition support coaching can fold Reiki into a broader plan for comfort and ease, always coordinated with your medical team.
