Eileen came to Reiki in 1990 and soon found herself serving people with drug and alcohol abuse issues. In 1992 she founded the Reiki clinic at the Windana Drug and Alcohol Withdrawal and Assessment Centre. Although she withdrew from hands on involvement three years ago, she maintains an overview of the clinics operation. Through the years, she has gained extensive knowledge of how Reiki works in these delicate and fragile human situations. She will be able to share with us advice about using Reiki for these situations, the lessons learned, the gifts she has received while working there, and her own brand of quiet compassion and optimism. The clinic experience formed the basis of two co-authored conference papers on using Reiki in the context of drug and alcohol withdrawal and rehabilitation and also contributed to the development of competencies for the professional practice of Reiki in Australia.

In my travels through the world of Reiki, I meet many people. All of them have great stories, profound insights given through their practice with Reiki, and inspiring experiences. It is my joy to be able to share these with you through the interviews. Should you have an impulse to know more or have direct contact with the person being interviewed, their email address or web site address is included. I am grateful for the willingness of these students of Reiki to share with you a glimpse of their Reiki path.
