Why Reiki for College Students?

I have over two decades of experience working with young people as an educator first, then within student service roles like admissions and outreach within state university systems in Wisconsin and Minnesota and most recently with international students new to the US and working to transfer to highly ranked universities. I have witnessed first-hand the cycle of wear and tear the college semester and year can have on a young person. Overwhelmingly I see young people struggle with both mental and physical health issues that lead to lack of attendance in class, poor grades, low motivation, anxiety and depression. My traditional roles have allowed me to offer support to students but always in a limited capacity - and I can see that so much more is needed. Reiki allows me to support students from a personalized, energetic perspective. I already know and understand the key times in the academic year when students need the most resources and guidance, now I can provide mental, emotional and physical reinforcements during those high need times, often before a student even realizes they are in need of help. I developed this Reiki package with great intention, keeping all of those factors in mind.

Some of the hardest times during a semester include:

  • Move-in days

  • Adjustment periods like the first two weeks of a term

  • Major seasonal weather changes

  • Mid-terms

  • Finals

  • Applying for transfer

Some of the experiences that impact student health and well-being during a term include:

  • Loneliness

  • Stress

  • Being away from home

  • Forced Proximity (which often leads to illness)

  • Lack of Sleep (also leading to illness)

  • Work on or off campus due to financial need

  • Feeling as though they must be a 4.0 student

  • Uncertainty over a major or program (or school)

This form of Reiki is 100% hands-off which makes it perfect for students at any school in any location. An added bonus is that distance Reiki can take place during an exam or study session, when a student is working their part-time job, as they travel home for the holidays, or anytime they need support. Students or their families can add as many additional sessions as they feel are needed during the term for an additional fee.

Added Support with “Lunch Notes”

I am a mom first, and my kids and I love the tradition of including a note in their lunch every day. Sometimes they ask for a joke or fact, but my favorite part is adding a personal note that may help them through a pivotal or hard day or week. When I can remind them that they are brave and kind and curious and that life is better with them in it.

The concept of “Lunch Notes” for my clients evolved from this simple practice of leaving notes in school lunch boxes.

This grown-up version taps into the fact that college students may be adults but they still carry the vulnerable soul of a child within them. And college may be one of the times in their life when they need the most support, nurturing and connection.

Each “Lunch Note” is developed uniquely for you/your loved one - this is not a mass text blast going to all my clients. Eight times a semester - typically every other week, unless intuition calls for more intense support, I will tap into you/your loved one’s energy and design a message that is intended for the time, situation, needs of the individual and send them a message of support.*

*Please note that if you are buying this package for a loved one they must confirm that they are okay to receive messages and will be able to opt out of the feature at any time depending on their comfort level.
