The Reiki System of Natural Healing uses gentle, non-invasive touch to accelerate the body’s natural healing processes, support mental and emotional healing, and create an overall sense of profound well-being.

Brought to the West some 90 years ago, Reiki has become one of the most in-demand healing modalities in the United States and around the world, used in hospitals, hospices, spas, and wellness centers. Our professional training uniquely blends the classical Japanese tradition and the Western Reiki style, with experiential classes focused on demonstrations and supervised hands-on practice, as well as mentoring outside class time.

Benefits of the Reiki System include:
• Reducing stress
• Strengthening the immune system
• Easing pain and physical discomfort
• Balancing and harmonizing emotions
• Enhancing mental clarity and creativity
• Facilitating personal and spiritual growth

Special Features:
• Uniquely blends the classical Japanese tradition with the Western Reiki style
• Highly experiential classes using Family Constellation as the backdrop
• Grounded, professional training
• Experienced teachers dedicated to personal and professional Reiki practice
