Reiki Training Courses
Reiki is a safe and gentle, yet highly effective practice which can be easily learned and enjoyed 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, for their loved ones and pets. You will be taught techniques for energy protection and cleansing, incorporating Reiki into all aspects of your life for increased energy, a reduction of stress, anxiety and negativity, an overall sense of peace and a deeper connection with all living beings.
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. Advanced techniques using these symbols and their intentions, plus the additional Reiki Attunements increase the effectiveness of Reiki for you and others. Following completion of Reiki II you may complete the necessary case studies to become a Reiki Practitioner if you wish to.
Reiki III (also known as Shinpiden or Master Practitioner/Master Teacher level) may be taken by anyone with an Usui Reiki II certificate. At least one year must have passed since completing Reiki I, and you will need to have completed your Practitioner case studies if you wish to teach Reiki.
I am proud to say that 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 I and II workshops, completing a minimum of 75 case study treatments, and attending additional face to face sessions with me to meet the required 65 guided hours) will mean that you are able to fast track CNHC accreditation without the need to complete a verification pack or pay the associated admin and verification costs (see https://www.reikifed.co.uk/reiki-info/cnhc/ for more info).
You are still able to train with me on a non-CNHC route, and may become a Practitioner and a member of UKRF by attending my Reiki I and II workshops, completing a minimum of 30 case study treatments and attending a Practitioner Handover session plus any additional face-to-face and remote guidance as required. Note: in order to join UKRF as a Practitioner Member a minimum of 9 months must has passed between starting Reiki I and attending your Practitioner Handover session.
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 and willing to be used as a case study to be practiced on!
