Inspiration from Adversity
Judy McCracken, President and CEO, has been involved in the healing arts for twenty five years in her quest to find relief and healing from fibromyalgia and clinical depression. This challenging path opened doors to a wide variety of healing modalities and a vast network of healing practitioners. Reiki emerged as the primary force for her own healing and wellness. Her work as a full-time Reiki Master teacher and practitioner produced her vision for large-scale projects to spread the gifts of Reiki healing techniques nationwide.

Teaching Reiki To Caregivers
Article by Judy McCracken - CEO; Reiki Rays of Hope for Caregivers, Inc.
Our History
REIKI Rays of Hope
for Caregivers, Inc., is the culmination of the vision and collaboration of administrators Judy McCracken and Mary Ellen Lucas and the Reiki journeys of the 60 Reiki masters who played roles in its creation. The seeds of the organization were planted with the creation in 2000 of the McCracken Wellness Center at which many of the Reiki masters were trained and began their Reiki careers. During the following years, Judy and Mary Ellen and a core group of Reiki masters provided Reiki services to Montefiore Nursing Home in Beachwood, Hospice of the Western Reserve, Alzheimer's Association of Greater Cleveland, parents of children with special needs, dozens of healthcare facility staff workers, and University Hospitals Connor Integrative Medicine Network (CIMN) in Cleveland. Realization that caregivers in our society are in great need of relaxation and stress relief inspired the formal founding of our nonprofit organization in 2007. Most recently, RROH has been established in Florida in Palm Beach, The Villages and Sarasota.
