Reiki Level I is for many people an exciting and wonderful beginning, for others, this course will be an opportunity to explore Reiki gathered with others, in a new space and time;

Or maybe Reiki training acknowledges something about energy you’ve had a feeling about all along, and you have questions or an intuition you’d like to explore.

I teach the foundational system of Usui Reiki Ryoho… and I'll weave in a little bit of herbalism, as is my way.
Reiki teachings, tools and techniques, complemented with herbal remedy making to support practices for self discovery, self healing and connection with life enery.

  • Notice energy in everyday life,

  • Become aware of what influences or affects your connection with life energy, and

  • Learn techniques for nurturing and connecting with energy for self-healing.

This is a course for beginners, and those who know the value of a beginners’ mind.

It might be where your journey begins, or a way for it to continue.

This first level is called Shoden which means ‘first teachings’, and we will learn about the foundational practices and elements of the System of Usui Reiki. In this practical beginner course, you will learn how to help your-self with a daily healing practice and how you can help your friends and family using foundational energy healing techniques.

Whether you're looking for a way to relax, manage stress, protect your personal energy, or connect more deeply with yourself and others, Reiki offers a path to peace and holistic well-being.​ It is simple and accessible to practice, anyone can do it.

During the course, you will learn:

  • The structure of the Usui Reiki System;

  • What Reiki is and how to use it in daily life;

  • How to practice Reiki hands-on self healing, and how to share Reiki with others;

  • How to connect with the life energy in plants and nature; 

  • To make and use 2 herbal remedies which are supportive to foundational Reiki practices;

  • Receive Reiki Level I attunement;

  • ​Receive a comprehensive manual and certificate of completion.

  • Access to an online Reiki Resources section of this website, to support your own practice beyond the training day. Your Reiki journey continues beyond the training day and as part of your ongoing support, you’ll have access to:

    • Reiki meditations and tutorials;

    • Opportunity to attend a monthy Reiki share group;

    • Continued email support.

YES - you will be able to practice Reiki for self-healing after this Reiki level 1 training.

YES - you’ll learn and practise hands-on healing during the second two evening sessions, with my guidance and support. After the course, you are encouraged to continue practising daily to build confidence, deepen your connection with the energy, and support your personal healing journey.

YES - you can come if you’ve never experienced Reiki before - these evenings take you through the Reiki Level I course, and is designed for complete beginners. No prior experience with Reiki or any other healing modality is necessary.

You will be learning in a small group of up to 6 people with me, Liz Thomas, a Reiki III (Shinpiden, or ‘Master’ level practitioner). I am working through the Reiki Teacher Training, and this training day is offered after my observed Reiki I course has been delivered and reviewed.

Keep in touch as I work on my course material for levels 2 and 3!
