Reiki in Medical Systems: With Kae Fink

How can Reiki thrive in hospitals and medical settings? This week, we share our Best of Reiki Lifestyle Podcast with Kae Fink. Kae is a Reiki Master and board-certified holistic nurse who shares her inspiring journey of bringing Reiki into clinical care at University Hospitals Connor Whole Health in Cleveland, Ohio.

Kae's work is a model for how Reiki can complement modern medicine—offering stress reduction, emotional support, and comfort to patients, staff, and caregivers alike. Her story is rooted in decades of experience as a caregiver, nurse, massage therapist, and health coach. Through her leadership, she's developed a volunteer-based Reiki program that now operates across multiple outpatient and inpatient cancer centers, guided by clear protocols, measurable outcomes, and an unwavering commitment to patient-centered care.

In this episode, you'll hear about:
• Kae's early experiences with Reiki and how it transformed her nursing career.
• The development of a hospital-based Reiki volunteer program from the ground up.
• How Kae launched a hospital Reiki program with philanthropic support
• Integrative language that helps Reiki practitioners communicate within medical settings.
• Research-backed outcomes showing Reiki's benefits for pain, anxiety, and patient well-being.
• Training programs for medical staff, volunteers, and even patient families.
• Practical advice for bringing Reiki into your local hospital or clinic.

Kae's passion and professionalism reveal how Reiki can truly be a healing bridge between worlds—medical and spiritual, science and energy. Whether you're a practitioner, a nurse, or someone looking to be of service through Reiki, you'll find this conversation both educational and deeply uplifting.
