Dr. Joy's Reiki Path and Credentials
"I am probably the most surprised of all, that I answered a calling to do hands-on spiritual health work as part of my living.
I began my medical career by actively conducting scientific research when I was age nineteen, and worked as a scientific investigator with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) following the completion of my medical degree (M.D. - 1985), and my Masters of Science in Preventive Medicine (M.S. - 1988) at Ohio State University College of Medicine .
Shortly after my sister died of melanoma at age 29 in 1988, I found myself in massage therapy school, where I began learning about "issues in the tissues," and the role of mental/emotional stress on the physical body. During my short time at Bancroft School of Massage Therapy, I was introduced to Reiki, and many other holistic modalities. I was drawn to Reiki because I loved the idea of using Universal Love to help people become both happier and healthier. After all, so much of what conventional physicians do is painful, embarrassing or both.
I became a Reiki Master at age 33 (Reiki I, II and III attunements and all training done by Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Master Priscilla Gainor, Duxbury, Massachusetts). Through my experiences using Reiki, I discovered that I am also an Intuitive Healer, so I followed my Reiki training with formal training at Harvard Medical School (mind-body & behavioral medicine), and in several other holistic modalities, including breathwork therapy, craniosacral therapy, meditation, creative visualization and other mind-body medicine techniques. This gives me many tools to supplement my intuitive gifts.
Reiki is my favorite technique. I find its greatest benefit is in helping people rediscover a sense of peace and joy in their lives, which I believe is my life's purpose or mission.
For many years I did Reiki free of charge because of the lack of scientific evidence to support any type of health claims. I knew that with the "M.D." after my name, clients would assume Reiki had physical health benefits. Even today, this is not known. However, in the past eleven years, the connection between stress and physical health has been well established, and reiki is a good stress management tool. After careful consideration, I now charge a reasonable fee for my time, skills, knowledge and spiritual gifts. It is my opinion that all skilled and gifted artists, whether they are plastic surgeons, ministers, painters, or holistic healers, deserve to be rewarded for sharing their gifts with the world. Giving one's gift away, rather than charging for it, does not make the gift more valuable, or the person more spiritual.
My fees are slightly higher than some Reiki Master's fees; however, my sessions incorporate teaching the client additional mind-body medicine skills that allow the client to become more autonomous regarding stress management, including creative visualization and cognitive restructuring techniques. In no time at all, you'll again be self-sufficient regarding taking care of your own mental, physical and spiritual health!"
