The Reiki Wellness Foundation
The Reiki Wellness Foundation supports people living and working under sustained stress. Our mission is simple: reduce stress and restore peace—one person, one organization, one community at a time.
The Reiki Wellness Foundation was founded in Des Moines by Jennifer Reding, to make grounded Reiki experiences more accessible to veterans, first responders, caregivers, and others living with sustained stress.
We serve first responders, veterans, low-income community members, and anyone navigating high-stress circumstances. Many of our community events are free or low-cost, accessible, and judgment-free.
The Foundation was inspired by Heather McCutcheon and the community outreach she leads through Chicago’s Reiki Brigade. Her work has shown what is possible when Reiki moves beyond private practice and into the community.
Today, we offer free and low-cost public Reiki events in Des Moines, along with structured, on-site Wellness Days for organizations. As the Foundation grows, we hope to build partnerships that help us reach more people throughout Central Iowa.
