Kuʻulei Shafee | Data-Driven Biohacking. What the Research Says About Reiki and Nervous System Optimization

​In this data-rich 30-minute session, behavioral health specialist and healing arts practitioner Kuʻulei Shafee unveils emerging research on Reiki and its measurable effects on the human nervous system. Citing peer-reviewed studies, Kuʻulei explores how Reiki influences critical biomarkers—heart rate variability (HRV), cortisol levels, pain perception, and brainwave activity—placing this ancient practice within the same conversation as leading biohacks like meditation, breathwork, and neurofeedback.

​Designed for founders, high-performers, and wellness-curious professionals, this talk focuses strictly on evidence-based tools for optimizing stress resilience, emotional regulation, and sustainable performance. No belief systems. No anecdotes. Just real data and meaningful outcomes.

​If biohacking is about tuning the body’s internal systems for peak performance, Reiki deserves a seat at the table—and the science is beginning to show us why.
