Frequently Asked Questions

Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing, a type of alternative medicine. Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a "universal energy" is said to be transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional or physical healing. The predominate form of reiki practiced throughout the world today, also known as Usui reiki, was created by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. It's a complementary or alternative health approach. Reiki does not directly cure diseases or illnesses.

Aromatherapy is the use of essential oils to promote physical and emotional well-being. It can be used to help alleviate stress, improve mood, and promote relaxation.

Holistic Healing Sessions and Reiki are now eligible for payment with Health Savings Accounts (HSA), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) Accounts, and Health Reimbursement Arrangement (HRA). This is great news for those seeking intuitive healing, energy healing and Reiki to improve their medical conditions. This allows for more freedom to choose supplemental or integrative therapies that are best suited for your needs.

What Services Qualify as a “Holistic Healing?”

Under these new guidelines, a “Holistic Healer” is considered a practitioner of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) that falls outside of mainstream medicine. Holistic healing encompasses a wide range of treatments and therapies that work together to balance the mind, body, spirit, and emotions and is often used alongside allopathic care for an “integrative medicine” approach.

If you use your HSA/FSA to pay for services, be sure to keep your receipts, invoices and any other supporting documentation related to your service(s). As of 2023, holistic healer reimbursement is not eligible with a limited-purpose flexible spending account (LPFSA), or a dependent care flexible spending account (DCFSA).
