Royal Cornwall: Reiki in a hospital support programme
The report describes relaxation, trust and falling asleep during a session as positive individual patient experiences.
Royal Cornwall: service and experience
Annie MacDonald’s service began in 2022 and reaches The Cove and hospital wards. Appointments can last 40 minutes; ward sessions are shorter and hands-off. Patients describe relaxation, trust and sometimes falling asleep. These are institution-reported personal experiences.
Editorial perspective
Attentive time during a difficult period is the strength of this report. The patient’s comfort and trust illustrate what support meant to them. Individual satisfaction does not imply the same experience for everyone.
