80. How Reiki Is Used as a Supportive Therapy in Hospital Cancer Care - Shilpa Kudekar

What role can Reiki play in cancer care? We are joined by Shilpa Kudekar where she broke down how Reiki is used as a supportive therapy alongside conventional oncology care, helping patients manage anxiety, stress, pain, nausea, and the emotional toll that often comes with diagnosis and treatment. She pulled from her 20+ years’ experience as a Reiki Master and her decade working at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi where she started giving Reiki to cancer patients.Shilpa shares what Reiki actually is (and what it isn’t), how sessions are delivered in a clinical environment, and why nervous system regulation and deep relaxation are so important during cancer treatment. They discuss the growing body of research around Reiki, Shilpa’s own IRB-approved study within a hospital setting, how she navigates scepticism with evidence and compassion, and why Reiki is never positioned as a replacement for medical care.
