I am a certified Reiki 2 practitioner and have seen the wonderful calming and healing effects Reiki can provide, especially for calming and centering the mind and body.  I would like to ask Greg Roberts if patients can receive Reiki while at OSH?  Would he be open to doing a pilot program on the patients the staff feel might benefit from such a treatment?  I would be happy to provide services pro bono and set up a study to demonstrate the effectiveness of Reiki treatment using the PHQ-9, GAD-7, MDQ, etc.to determine baseline before each session and see if there is a change immediately following each treatment.  I believe this kind of study would be easy to set up and carry out and that Reiki would help patients to be discharged sooner.
