Always open to feedback - and thankful for it! It was hard for me, because I wanted to condense it to one page, while still explaining enough about Reiki itself, then Reiki & Birth. Sadly, so many people have never even heard of it.

Thank you for your input! Actually, I have met one (but so far only one) male doula. :) The profession is by far dominated by women, though. If I used 'their', I think it would create a bit of a grammar faux pas, but I mainly just chose 'her' because this is a handout I give to my doula clients. :) I'm really glad you liked it, though. Did you have any problems reading it with the shape boundaries? I'm wondering whether to get rid of them.

So far Essential Reiki is the only book I actually have, but I did manage to find William Rand's book at the library. I can't remember the name, but it was very much like a manual. I found that extremely interesting. I'd love to get more books. I'm actually thinking of starting an Amazon wish list...but I'm afraid it would be too long! :)

Hi, Reiki K, thanks for stopping by my blog! I don't know why that link isn't working anymore. I have the file saved on my computer, and I'd be glad to email it to you if you leave me your email addy. I'd be happy to screen it so it's not posted publicly.

Hi, ronitwit! I'm sorry that the file doesn't seem to be there anymore. I've had some badluck in that my computer crashed recently, so I'll have to see if I still have that file in my recovered files, or else I'll have to recreate it. I'm sorry! I'll certainly look. In the meantime, if you have any questions about reiki &/or birth, please feel free to ask. I used reiki for my second birth, and I found it to be very cool (when I usually experience it as warm!) and calming.

This is a very late reply, but I'm afraid I must have missed some comment notifications! My apologies! I don't seem to have this handout any more. I will contact you if I get the time to put another together, but I have a newborn myself and things have been hectic, so I can't make any promises right now. I'm so sorry!

Do you still provide a copy of the reiki/childbirth document? I would love to get a copy. My email is info@sacredbeginning.com.
Thanks,
Sharon

Hello, GLBH,

I'm very glad for your comment! I think I missed a comment or two on this post, although I do believe I was able to email at least one or two of those ladies a while ago. At any rate, I'm sorry to say that I no longer have this handout. I would love to make another since there seems to be so much interest, but I don't know when I could commit to redoing that. We have a needy newborn and are dealing with new work schedules. I will try to do a new post if I ever get another together though. My apologies!

I would be happy to send reiki to your partner, and to discuss anything if you have any questions or just want to chat about reiki & birth.

Peace,
Amanda
