Reiki therapist Brenda Kirkeberg, who has been volunteering with the Cancer Council Midland for about three years, said it was rewarding.

“Helping people is my passion,” she said.

Carer Coral Henwood said Reiki relaxed her and she found it to be like meditation.

The council runs on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 3/42 Victoria Street, Midland.

Those interested or who would like more information can call 9274 4848.
