I can’t even begin to tell you how excited and delighted I am by recent events – with news of TWO new Reiki babies!
Since starting Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach, just over a year ago, I’ve always felt that working with children and mothers-to-be would make up a very important part of my practice.
So, you can image how excited I was back in April 2024 when two of my very first clients who came to The Cabin for Reiki were two women who, although they each had very different stories, shared the same end goal: to get pregnant!

Client number one, let’s call her Anja, was actually gifted her first Reiki Treatment by her mum, who had watched her daughter’s disappointment each month for too long. Having benefitted from Reiki herself, mum hoped it would also help her daughter.
Client number two, I’ll call her Sarah, was dealing with various medical issues that prevented her getting pregnant. She was already mum to a school-age child, born thanks to IVF, and was about to embark on another IVF journey – but the stress of what lay ahead was weighing heavy. She hoped Reiki would be the key to getting her through it all.
And Reiki definitely did!
Sarah recently gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl. And two days later, Anja came to tell me that she was pregnant!
The joy I felt upon hearing the news of each of those two precious Reiki babies, was incredible. The timing was also perfect. Because although I’d been working with each woman for roughly the same amount of time, they each had very different experiences to navigate along the way.
And it takes as long as it takes to do that.
With Anja, giving up trying to control the situation played a big part in her journey. I’ve written before about how she did that, and you can read that Blog here:
When I later asked Anja and Sarah to try and sum up how they felt Reiki had helped them achieve their dream, I was honoured, and so incredibly humbled to hear their responses.
Anja said: “Reiki is what got me through a very difficult time. My appointment with Denise each week forced me to take time out of my busy week to be here, in The Cabin, where I could just rest, and relax, and be at peace. Talking with Denise really did change my mind-set, and it helped me believe that this really would happen for me. And now it has.”
And Reiki had the same kind of effect with Sarah, who said: “Having regular Reiki with Denise definitely calmed me down, and I wasn’t as anxious in this pregnancy as I was the first time.
“When I started the IVF treatment, I knew what to expect, and I know I wouldn’t have coped with the stress of it all without my weekly Reiki. I also feel I got over things much quicker than other people going through the same procedures.
“I had various pregnancy-related ailments, like restless legs and sciatica, and I found it hard to switch my mind off and sleep sometimes, but Reiki helped with all of that. As I approached my due date, I really did feel calm and relaxed, which I don’t think I would have done, had it not been for my Reiki.”
Thank you to Anja and Sarah for sharing those very personal thoughts.
I will, of course, be continuing to work with Anja in the coming months of her pregnancy so I can keep you updated on her progress (although she’s also now attended one of my Reiki I workshops, so she’s also able to give herself, and her baby, regular Reiki – joy!)
But for anyone else reading this, who’s also facing their own fertility journey, please know that you are not alone in this – Reiki really can help you, in so many ways.
I also offer special rates for anyone who wants to commit to regular Reiki in The Cabin, to help them on their fertility journey. So, if that’s you, or someone you know, I really would love to work with you. You can book an appointment by clicking below.
Until next week.
Much love,
Denise.
