S5 Ep28 - Can Reiki Research Shape Future Healthcare? with Dr. Natalie Dyer
What happens when rigorous science meets the world of Reiki? In this illuminating conversation, host Andrea Kennedy sits down with Dr. Natalie Dyer—research scientist, Reiki Master, and President of the Center for Reiki Research—to explore the evidence behind energy healing and its place in the future of healthcare.
From oncology wards to NICUs, Dr. Dyer reveals groundbreaking studies showing Reiki’s impact on pain, anxiety, fatigue, and even inflammation—plus exciting new research on cancer cell models, mental health, and distance healing. She shares her vision for Reiki in every hospital, practical advice for practitioners wanting to volunteer or get paid roles in healthcare, and the global shift toward integrative medicine, including surprising insights from Turkey and Silicon Valley philanthropists.
This is a hopeful, data-driven, and deeply human look at why Reiki works, how it’s measured, and what’s next for making it truly mainstream.
