Best Reiki in Queens, New York: Top 3 Practitioners
Queens has a hospital that offers Reiki to its own patients, a licensed massage therapist in Astoria who is trained in Reiki, and, for distance sessions, Self Empowered Minds in Manhattan. These are the three options on this page, each described from its own website as we read it in October 2026. “Top 3” means three options we confirmed at the source, not a ranking of results, and Reiki has not been shown to treat any health condition. The order is not a ranking.
Self Empowered Minds
Self Empowered Minds is on East 81st Street in Manhattan, so Queens clients either travel to the Upper East Side or choose a distance session by video. Its Reiki page, selfempoweredminds.com/reiki-and-energy-healing/, lists sessions with Saba Hocek, a Reiki Master in the Usui/Holy Fire lineage, with a $327 initial session and a free 20-minute consultation. For a distance session, the page asks you to confirm the format, length, price and how to reconnect if the call drops. Call (917) 658-1660.
Jamaica Hospital Medical Center
The Integrative Health Center at Jamaica Hospital offers Reiki to its patients. Its page describes sessions of “approximately 50 minutes,” with the patient lying “on a massage table fully-clothed.” Ask when you call whether you need to be a hospital patient. Call (718) 206-5675.
Yumi, Astoria
Yumi is a licensed massage therapist who says she is trained in energy work “such as Reiki and Polarity,” with an Astoria location, a studio near Union Square in Manhattan and house calls on request. A licensed massage therapist can legally combine massage with Reiki; ask what a Reiki-only session involves. Contact her through the site.
What to know about Reiki and health
The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health states that “Reiki hasn’t been clearly shown to be effective for any health-related purpose” (NCCIH). A Cochrane review found insufficient evidence to say whether Reiki helps with anxiety or depression (Joyce and Herbison, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2015). If you are pregnant or have a medical condition, tell your doctor or midwife before adding Reiki, and see a licensed clinician for anxiety or depression; in a crisis, call or text the 988 Lifeline at 988.
Queens Reiki questions
Is distance Reiki the same as in-person Reiki?
They are delivered differently, and NCCIH’s statement that Reiki has not been clearly shown to be effective for any health-related purpose applies to both. Self Empowered Minds describes its distance sessions as following Reiki traditions for personal wellbeing.
Does a Reiki session that includes massage need a license?
Yes. In New York, massage may only be practiced or advertised by a licensed massage therapist (Education Law Article 155); you can check a license on the state’s verification search.
Where can I find hypnosis in Queens?
See the Queens hypnotist page. For Reiki farther east, see Reiki practitioners on Long Island.
Details here come from each provider’s own website as of October 2026 and may change; confirm them before booking. A listing here is not a referral, and Reiki does not replace medical care.
