Reiki (pronounced ray-key) is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation which also promotes healing.  It was discovered in 1922 by Mikao Usui and is administered by "laying on hands".    Reiki is now offered in more than 60 U.S. hospitals as part of patient services according to a UCLA study. 
Jill has her second-degree certification in the original Usui method taught through the International Center for Reiki Training.
