If you’re a mother, then you’re no stranger to the joy and pressures of motherhood.
The responsibility of providing for your children can leave you with little to no time to dedicate to yourself and your well-being.
But when you ignore your own needs for too long, you run the risk of burning out. In fact, Motherly’s State of Motherhood survey found that 43% of mothers report feeling burned out often (and a whopping 93% of mothers report feeling burned out at least occasionally!)
You know that self-care is crucial for avoiding burnout. But it’s not easy to carve out personal time when you also have to provide for your family.
But it’s ALSO not easy to provide for your family when you feel depleted and burned out.
…So what can you do?
One option that more and more mothers are turning to is Reiki Healing Energy.
Reiki healing sessions are 60 minutes of quiet time with no distractions. But you’ll gain so much more than an hour alone. You’ll also gain the peace and clarity that comes from cleared chakras and balanced energies.
After just one Reiki session, mothers report feeling at peace with less tension.

Why Mothers Burn Out
So, why DO 93% of mothers report feeling burned out at least occasionally?
Well… how much time do you have?
The never-ending to-do list, the work-family balance, the mommy guilt, the tiny human who relies on you for their survival…
The list could, of course, go on.
According to MD Now, you might be experiencing “mommy burnout” if you feel intense emotional and physical fatigue, guilt, loneliness, self-pressure, or even self-hate.
emotional and physical fatigue, guilt, loneliness, self-pressure, or even self-hate.
Over time, sacrificing your own well-being for the sake of your family catches up to you.
And if you’re a working mother, it’s even more likely that you experience the tension between providing for your family financially and managing your time and emotions.
Especially in our modern culture where you do not have the same village that mothers had in the past. There is more responsibility on your shoulders with less support.
But, because Reiki works to heal largely through relaxation and rebalancing your energies, it can help you feel more centered and better able to shoulder your responsibilities.
Reiki Supports Your Entire Family
When you do burn out, it’s not uncommon for you to survive on autopilot or even emotionally distance yourself from your kids.
This, of course, is not anyone’s dream for motherhood.
The best way to combat symptoms of mommy burnout is to reduce your stress and rebalance your energies.
I know — easy to say and, well… maybe it seems impossible for you to do right now.
But when you use Reiki Healing Energy to clear, repair, and maintain your energy field, you’ll find that you feel less tension and have more energy throughout your days.
You can go back to your daily routine and support your family from a centered place. Your children and your partner might even notice that you have more energy and grounding.
How Reiki Helps to Reduce The Stress of Motherhood
We already know that there are countless reasons why your energy might be out of balance as a mother. But now let’s talk about how Reiki can help you.
You have your own energy field that is always flowing through you and around you. This energy field is important because it supports your vitality and well-being.
But the stress of motherhood can wear down this energy field and cause blockages that disrupt its flow. When this happens, the symptoms of mommy burnout are exacerbated.
Reiki helps to clear any blockages that occur in this energy field. Reiki also helps to repair your energy field when it’s worn down or depleted.
After a Reiki Energy Healing Session, you can expect to feel:
- More connected with yourself (which helps you relate to your kids and partner better!)
- More grounded and centered
- And better able to exert energy providing for your family
Reiki will also help to rebalance your Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine energy so that you can approach motherhood in a way that is most authentic to your true self.
The result is a mother who feels calm, grounded, and has more energy to dedicate to her family.
Reiki and The Changing Nature of Motherhood
Naturally, the job of motherhood continues to grow and change as each of your children grows and changes.
As you navigate these new seasons of motherhood, Reiki continues to offer valuable support.
The relaxing effect of Reiki alone is a useful tool for moms, as so many daily stresses — from picky eating to cleaning messy rooms — add up. Small, daily stressors like these can cause imbalances and blockages in your energy field over time.
Receiving Reiki treatments regularly (once a month or more as needed) can help to maintain balance in your energy field.
As any mom knows, sometimes solving one problem means noticing all the ones that popped up in its place. And part of being a mother is nurturing and caring for your family. With the help of Reiki as part of your self-care, you can rediscover the joy in your mothering.
How to Make Time for Reiki as a Mother
The beauty of Reiki Healing Energy is that it is not bound by space or time. This means you can experience the benefits of Reiki from the comfort of your own home through a virtual Reiki session.
All you need for a virtual Reiki session are:
- A quiet, comfortable place to lie down
- One hour of uninterrupted timed
I often do Reiki sessions with mothers at night, after they put their children to bed. They find this to be the perfect time to prioritize themselves before ending their day.
My clients find that carving out an hour of time for a Reiki session almost always leaves them feeling better able to accomplish all of the items on their to-do list.
