Reiki Training Courses

Reiki is a safe and gentle, yet highly effective practice which can be easily learned by all. My lineage (available on request) places me 11th in line to Sensei Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki in the 1800's. Therefore my teachings are of Traditional Usui Reiki.

Reiki I (also known as Shoden or First Degree Reiki) is for beginners and those wishing to use it for self healing, on their loved ones and their pets. You will be taught techniques for sensing and channelling energy, receive four energy attunements, and learn the history and five precepts of traditional Japanese Reiki. Each level of Reiki is a complete system and there is no need to move onto another level unless you wish to do so.

Reiki II (also known as Oku Den or Second Degree Reiki) may be taken at any time from 3 months after Reiki I, and there is no maximum time so it can be taken many years after. At this level the three Reiki symbols are taught and two further energy attunements increase your Reiki vibrations by 4 times. There is an optional Practitioner level which requires completion of 30 case study treatments following your course, allowing you to practice Reiki professionally. This increases to 75 case study treatments for those who wish to join the CNHC (Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council).

My Reiki II (Practitioner) training course has been validated by the UK Reiki Federation as complying to NOS, Core Curriculum and CNHC standards, and I am listed on the UKRF's Approved Courses Directory. All courses listed on the Directory of Approved Courses are accepted by the CNHC for registration purposes. This means that successful completion of my Reiki Practitioner course (attending my Reiki II workshop, completing the necessary case study treatments as shown above, and then attending a handover session with me) will mean that you are able to apply for CNHC accreditation without the need to complete a verification pack or the associated admin and verification costs (see https://www.reikifed.co.uk/reiki-info/cnhc/ for more info). 

Reiki III (also known as Shinpiden or Master Practitioner/Master Teacher level) may be taken by anyone with an Usui Reiki II Practitioner certificate, whom has been using Reiki for themselves and others for at least 12 months.

In order to ensure that you feel confident in the use of Reiki, I limit my classes to a maximum of six pupils and allow plenty of time for hands-on learning. Individual training is also available for those who prefer it. I provide ongoing support throughout your Reiki journey and am always available to answer any questions or to be used as a case study or to be practiced on!

Reiki:

• provides only positive results.
• is easy to learn.
• provides a simple, easy, and effective self-practuce, without any additional effort beyond placing our hands. Self-practice keeps us in balance, connected with our happiness and our health.
• provides a way to do something positive in times of difficulty no matter what the situation might be.
• is a beautiful way to connect with other people.
• with the permission of the recipient, Reiki fulfils our innate need for touch.
• reduces the negative effects of medications and other medical treatments including those of radiation and chemotherapy.
• can supply you with part or full-time income as a practitioner.
