Reiki is safe for everyone. Yes it is safe for pregnant women and babies. A lot of midwives learn Reiki and use it on pregnant women. A lot of women who want a natural birth and don't want to use epidurals can really benefit from Reiki. It can really help ease their pain naturally. Women who are pregnant and not ready to give birth yet can benefit from Reiki treatments and it will help make sure that their body is healthy and working properly and that the baby is healthy. It is a really great non-invasive way to receive treatment. Women's bodies change so much during pregnancy. This is a way a woman can make sure her body is balanced and that her energy is balanced and that she has everything she needs and that nothing will go wrong. I think it is a really good thing for pregnant women to do. As far as babies are concerned, some people offer infant and baby massage. I don't think that is a bad idea, but Reiki I would argue, is even better because no pressure is applied to the baby. You won't be hurting the baby in any way and there is no chance that you will push too hard or hurt something. It is very gentle; it can be done while the baby is sleeping. A mother can do it while she is holding her baby. It is something so gentle and because it is just a natural flow of healing, it works really well for little babies. Some medicines cannot be given to children under a certain age and Reiki is a way to relieve and heal young children and babies without worrying about the side effects and without worrying about whether they are the right age or worrying about proper dosage. So it is actually really great for children, babies, and pregnant mothers.
