Reiki is a safe energy treatment during pregnancy and promotes balance emotionally and physically in the body’s bio-energy system. As Reiki is “loving” energy I believe the mum-to-be is in her powerful mother energy in these 9 months as this time can never be recreated again by one-in-one evolution.  These 9 months are the foundation of highly intuitive communication and the mother being treated with Reiki nurtures the baby as well as the baby receiving energy directly within the womb. Reiki practiced in early pregnancy is said to alleviate back-pain, headaches, stress, anxiety,nausea and during childbirth it has been said to control contractions and lessen pain. Mother's being attuned to Reiki allows the added advantage to self-administering this loving energy day and night without the need of a practitioner, empowering the mother's own hands with energy.   "As I was on my own throughout the pregnancy the Reiki energy from Patti helped me deal with the emotional roller-coaster I was going through at the time with Eddie. It gave me a sense of calm, clarity and peace to deal with the stress of the situation. Physically the Reiki made the birth easier and a wonderful experience savoring every second of  Angel's first moments into the world.  The only problem is that Angel has become a little Reiki baby enjoying the treatment with me now she is on the outside." - Melanie Brown, aka Mel B former Spice Girl
