Testimonials
I am a 56-year-old female, suffering from several chronic pain issues. I have degenerative scoliosis, degenerative discs, spinal stenosis, osteoarthritis, and a partially torn meniscus in my left knee. I need a total replacement due to that and other issues. I have frequent flare ups of bursitis under my right scapula. My back is bad enough that my neurosurgeon said I needed stabilization from TI0 to L5. I have already had a laminectomy in the lumbar region and cervical fusion with donor bone.
I have been receiving Reiki treatments by Susan Grill and Ginger Dutschman for about a year now. My back, at times, leaves me unable to stand fully upright and I walk slowly and stiffly. After a Reiki session, I am able to stand upright and walk much smoother and more comfortably. Treatments generally take sharp pain down to more of a bad ache level. I noticed a definite difference in my knee pain and function after a few sessions. My knee was prone to buckling and trying to flex backwards quite often. I have gone from having that happen a few times daily, down to 2-3 times a week. I had to wear a brace daily since a year ago. Now I only wear it when I know I will be walking a lot during the day.
I was open minded about trying Reiki, but in all honesty, I didn't have high expectations. I was amazed at what relief it brought. As medical professionals, you are aware of all the hoops and procedures chronic pain patients have to go through to get on medications strong enough to help keep us functional. I tried many medications that either didn't work or caused allergic reactions. I had numerous steroid shots and other injection treatments that failed. Reiki gave me more relief than anything else I had tried, other than opioids. There were many days I wanted to just go to bed and stay there, but Reiki helped keep me functional.

In 2022, while at a convention, I was having the worst arthritis flareup in my joints that I have ever had. The pain was very difficult, and l was not able to walk very well at all (which has never happened before).
Ginger and Susie performed Reiki on me one morning and I was able to do extensive walking throughout the day with my typical levels of discomfort. It was great because I was able to do all the things that I wanted to do during the convention.
When night-time rolled around, I needed a booster of Reiki in order to help remove the pain that had come back again by dinner time. The night-time session were able to help remove the pain and allowed me to sleep comfortably.
I am forever grateful for the Reiki they did on me during the convention. I don't know how or why it worked for me, but it sure did work. Thank you!
