S8 E10 - Death with Dignity and Reiki with Martha Spruce
Martha used Reiki to heal her own brain injury from a head-on collision with a car while she was on her bicycle in 1976, which she considers a miracle. She decided to offer Reiki to the midcoast Maine community as a way to pay forward the miracle she received. She would like to express her deep gratitude to the many excellent teachers and therapists from whom she has received so much healing and guidance.
Martha has been practicing Reiki for her clients and teaching Reiki to her students for over 29 years in the midcoast area of Brunswick, Maine. Reiki is a very simple, hands-on healing practice that helps with relieving pain, restoring well-being, and helping to reduce anxiety and depression.
Using local need as her guide, she has provided Reiki for clients and has taught students to do what she does, for almost three decades. In addition to her busy home-based practice, some of her additional venues include:
* giving Reiki to surgical patients in the operating room of local hospitals, with the surgeon's permission
* giving Reiki to dying patients as a private Certified Hospice volunteer
* designing and running a weekly Reiki Clinic for 16 students at Bowdoin College
* teaching Reiki on campus to Bowdoin College students
* hosting Reiki Clinics and teaching both Introductory and Advanced Reiki to Emergency Medical Technicians at their annual recertification conference
* providing Reiki Clinics to physicians, nurses, various medical clinics, local support groups, and nursing home staff
* giving Reiki to patients while employed by a private physical therapy practice
* giving Reiki to people with Alzheimers, at the request of family members, to help increase their awareness and decrease their agitation
* offering online Reiki I and II classes to students across the USA and Canada
* treating people with Distant Reiki, anywhere
