Reiki for Birth
Reiki comes with no risks so it is perfect for pregnancy and birth. I offer Reiki from your second trimester all the way through pregnancy and birth.
Reiki in pregnancy offers a
gentle yet powerful
way for expectant mothers to prepare for birth—both physically and emotionally. As the body undergoes immense changes, Reiki helps to
reduce stress, release tension, and promote deep relaxation
, creating an optimal environment for both mother and baby. By balancing the body's energy and soothing the nervous system, Reiki encourages a sense of
calm and inner trust
, which is essential for birth preparation. Many women find that regular Reiki sessions help to
ease common pregnancy discomforts
such as back pain, fatigue, and nausea, while also supporting better sleep and emotional balance.
Beyond the physical benefits, Reiki is a
sacred practice of connection
—helping a mother tune into her intuition, her baby, and the natural rhythms of her body. As she prepares for birth, Reiki allows her to release
fear, doubt, and emotional blockages
, replacing them with a deep sense of
confidence and trust in her birthing journey
. It can also enhance the bond between mother and baby, as the gentle energy flow nurtures a sense of peace and harmony. Whether used alongside other holistic birth preparation techniques or as a stand-alone practice, Reiki empowers a woman to step into birth feeling
centered, strong, and deeply connected to her inner wisdom

“I'm not sure how to put into words what I experienced. It was the hardest thing I've ever done but it was so incredible and powerful. I listened to the tracks all of the way through. I still can't believe that I was so calm all of the way through. I bossed my birth and I'm so proud. Thank you Melissa, everything you taught me was so valuable and helped me to have my amazing birth”
“Even though my birth didn't go the way I had hoped I feel so blessed. Baby F decided to make things a little more tricky and be back to back. I think this is why I progressed so much more slowly. After a very long labour we were both exhausted so I was truly grateful that we opted for a little bit of help. Despite everything this was the most empowering birth I have had. I was in control and surprised myself with how calm I was. Everything you taught me made so much sense and I will be telling everybody about you. Thank you xx"
“I have been shouting to anybody that will listen all about Hypnobirthing. The thing that helped me the most was the breathing. I have carried on using them since baby L was born and so has my husband. I wish I was pregnant again so I could keep coming to your classes”
