University
Medical Center Reiki Volunteer Program
The UMC Reiki Volunteer Program in Tucson, Arizona was
launched in June of 2006. The three major contributors are
all Certified Reiki Master Teachers:
Mega R. Mease: Program Director-Advisor/Volunteer
Practitioner
Carolyn Valenzuela: Patient Advocate/ Volunteer Advocate/ Volunteer Practitioner
Marsha Drozdoff: Hospital Liaison
All volunteers must have completed Master-Teacher or
Advanced training. Second Degree practitioners are accepted
under specific circumstances. In addition, all volunteers
receive extensive in-house experience. We feel this is a necessary component
of offering a service where patients will feel comfortable
and safe. This service is a complimentary service for
patients, supportive people and staff.
The primary goal of this program is to enhance the
well-being of patients, the patient’s support system, and/or
medical staff. Our secondary goal is education and therefore
establishing and maintaining cooperation between the
allopathic and holistic communities. The spirit of the
program intends to expand its presence and contribution as a
recognizable complement to the existing quality care already
present as it perpetuates the credibility of Reiki in the
hospital environment.
We are dedicated to quality
care and an honorable reputation. This program has created
and maintains a standard level of professionalism
complimenting the traditional Reiki code of ethics.
We are actively looking for
caring, qualified Reiki practitioners. Volunteers must meet
the requirements of both UMC Hospital and the
Reiki Program.
