Reiki Volunteers - UVM Health Network Home Health and Hospice McClure Miller Respite House
The Vermont Reiki Association is honored to support Reiki volunteers at the McClure-Miller VNA Respite House in Colchester Vermont, and volunteers providing Reiki to Hospice community clients and staff through the VNA of Chittenden and Grand Isle Counties.
Vermont Respite House is a 21-room facility for people in hospice care. In 2018 we had 13 dedicated volunteers providing 959 sessions of Reiki at the Respite House for residents, their families and friends, staff and other volunteers. Additionally, Reiki was provided for staff at the VNA Chittenden and Grand Isle Counties office in Colchester as well as to residents receiving hospice care throughout Chittenden and Grand Isle. The first step to becoming a volunteer is to take the 11 week hospice training program with the Chittenden and Grand Isle County VNA. For information, please see https://www.vnacares.org/program-volunteering/ . After completing this program you will shadow a current Reiki volunteer. Being a hospice volunteer is an act of service, approached with humility, grace, kindness and professionalism. For additional questions you may also contact Patricia Freed-Thall, pfreedthall@gmail.com |
Reiki opened up my self-awareness in ways I couldn't have even imagined, and was empowering in such a profound way that I can divide my life into 'before Reiki' and 'after Reiki.'
