Reiki for Chronic Illness & Cancer Survivors: Gentle Support for the Body You’re Still Learning to Trust

Schie Health | Holistic Recovery Support in Virginia Beach

When you’ve been through chronic pain, illness, or cancer treatment, your body doesn’t always feel like home. You may be healing on paper—but still carrying tension, fear, or fatigue that medical care alone couldn’t touch.

At Schie Health, we offer Reiki energy therapy as a gentle, non-invasive way to support your recovery—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

What Reiki Offers Survivors

Reiki can help:

  • Reduce anxiety, depression, and emotional overload

  • Ease pain, muscle tightness, and sleep disturbances

  • Reconnect you to your body in a non-threatening, safe way

  • Restore energetic flow after surgery, chemo, or long-term stress

It’s not a cure—but it is a companion. A space where nothing is expected, and everything is allowed.

Why Reiki Works Alongside Medical Care

  • You remain fully clothed and in control at all times

  • There’s no pressure or manipulation of your body

  • It can be done with touch or completely hands-off

  • It’s safe to use alongside meds, physical therapy, and counseling

Reiki doesn’t replace your care team—it adds softness, stillness, and spiritual support to everything you’re already doing. Sometimes healing takes more than one visit, so we offer a reduced rate for our most medically fragile clients.

You Don’t Have to “Be Strong” in the Healing Room

At Schie Health, we hold space for the grief, rage, confusion, and joy that comes with chronic illness and survivorship. You’re not here to “fix” yourself. You’re here to be held, witnessed, and slowly reconnected to your own rhythm.

Your Energy Deserves Healing Too
