Reiki Level I is for many people an exciting and wonderful beginning, for others, this course will be an opportunity to explore Reiki further, 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. It might be where your journey begins, or a way for it to continue.

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

I teach the traditional, foundational system of Usui Reiki Ryōhō… 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 affects your life energy’s vibration, and

  • Learn techniques for protecting and raising your personal energy with hands-on self-healing.

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 Usui Reiki offers self-healing practices and a way of life which uplifts and protects your personal energy.

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 holistic well-being.​ It is simple and accessible to practice, anyone can do it.
