Has Your Life been Affected by Cancer?
Life changes the moment cancer becomes part of your story - whether you’re going through it yourself, supporting a loved one, grieving a loss, or adjusting to life after treatment. It can be physically exhausting, emotionally overwhelming, and incredibly isolating at times. Even when you're trying to stay strong, there’s often little space to process your own feelings or find moments of peace.
Free Reiki Event for Those Affected by Cancer
Sunday 1st February 2026 - 1pm to 4pm
Cliddesden Village Hall, Basingstoke, RG25 2JQ
Our past 2 events have been a great success. Everyone enjoyed a wonderful healing experience (you can read more here), so much so that we have decided to run another event in October 2025.
These events have been created from the heart, by holistic therapists who want to give something back. Many of us have supported clients, friends, and family members through cancer - and some of us have walked that road ourselves. We understand how tough, emotional, and overwhelming it can be. This is our way of offering care and compassion to those who need it most. We know that even a small moment of calm can make a big difference. So we're coming together to share the healing power of Reiki with anyone whose life has been touched by cancer - with love, empathy, and no expectation other than to help you feel supported and held.
If your life has been affected by cancer and you would like to join us for a free reiki session please do come along. Simply fill in the form and we will get in touch to confirm your the time of your one-to-one reiki healing session.
What to Expect
Reiki will be offered by qualified, insured practitioners - many of whom have personal experience with the cancer journey themselves. You will be welcomed with kindness, and you will receive a 1:1 Reiki session in a calm, peaceful space with plenty of time to relax and unwind. During a Reiki session, you remain fully clothed, resting comfortably while the practitioner uses light touch or hands hovering just above the body.
Reiki and Cancer Care – A Gentle Support
Today, Reiki is widely recognised and used in many hospitals, hospices, and cancer support centres. It is valued for its ability to ease stress, improve wellbeing, and offer comfort in times of emotional or physical challenge.
Reiki can offer a deeply nurturing layer of support for anyone affected by cancer. In oncology settings, it’s increasingly recognised as a safe and gentle complementary therapy that can ease stress, calm the nervous system, and support emotional wellbeing. While Reiki is never a replacement for medical treatment, it can be a powerful companion alongside it - soothing the mind, relaxing the body, and bringing a sense of peace during incredibly difficult times.
Whether you are navigating a diagnosis, in treatment, in recovery, or holding space for someone you love, Reiki meets you exactly where you are. It asks nothing from you and offers everything: stillness, comfort, compassion, and quiet strength.

Reiki in Cancer Support & Clinical Settings
Reiki is increasingly being offered in hospitals, hospices, and cancer support centres around the world. While it is not a cure for cancer, studies have shown it can significantly improve quality of life for those affected.
✅ A 2019 study published in Palliative & Supportive Care found that Reiki can reduce anxiety and pain in cancer patients receiving outpatient treatment.
✅ The American Cancer Society acknowledges Reiki as a supportive therapy that can help with stress reduction, pain relief, and overall wellbeing.
✅ A study published in the Journal of Pain and Symptom Managemente valuated a Reiki volunteer program within two cancer infusion centers. Outpatients receiving Reiki during infusion reported clinically significant improvements in all symptoms, high levels of satisfaction, and a qualitatively positive healing experience.
✅ A randomised controlled trial undertaken ion 2021 found that Reiki therapy can be used as a nursing intervention to increase the quality of life and reduce fatigue in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
✅ An observational study, published in February 2025, of a volunteer multi-hospital Reiki program for outpatients with cancer and other chronic illnesses receiving infusion therapy found that outpatients receiving Reiki during infusion reported clinically significant improvements in all symptoms, high levels of satisfaction, and a qualitatively positive healing experience.
✅ Many NHS cancer centres and charities, such as Macmillan and Maggie’s, now offer Reiki as part of their integrative care programs.
These studies suggest that Reiki may offer supportive benefits for cancer patients, particularly in managing symptoms and enhancing quality of life. Patients often report feeling calmer, more rested, and more emotionally supported after sessions - sometimes for the first time in a long while.

Hi there, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2021. I also had some family issues going on at the time and Reiki and meditation helped me immensely, both physically and emotionally. I decided to learn more about Reiki and did my training and few years ago. I use Reiki on myself, friends and family and would love to share it with others who need it. |

Teresa
I have lost two close family members to cancer so I know how devastating the disease is and how it upends life in every way for those going through treatment and for those supporting them. That is why I was keen to join Fi and help those doing through a cancer journey. I first encountered Reiki through Fi’s monthly spiritual development group and have since trained as a Reiki Pracitioner under her. I am eager now to share what I have learnt and help as many people as I can. |
