Learn the history, theory, and applications of Reiki, a Japanese healing technique. In this one-day training, we will explore energetic anatomy and protection, ethics, self-healing, and the step-by-step process for conducting a Reiki session. Students will be attuned to Reiki energy and have the opportunity to practice giving Reiki to themselves and others. 


In the second degree training, participants will expand upon the skills they learned in Level I and acquire new ways to work with Reiki energy. We will explore distance healing techniques, Reiki for animals, Reiki for emotional healing, using Reiki to manifest goals, and classic Japanese Reiki techniques. Students will receive another attunement, learn three symbols, and have the opportunity to practice giving Reiki using their new symbols and techniques.

This training equips mental health professionals with the skills and confidence to thoughtfully integrate Reiki into clinical and therapeutic practice. Participants will learn how to combine Reiki with established therapeutic approaches—particularly somatic and body-based techniques—to support regulation, deepen client awareness, and enhance the overall healing process.

Moving beyond the belief that Reiki is a tool for relaxation alone, this course explores how it can be used as a steady anchor within sessions, helping both practitioner and client stay attuned as deeper layers of experience emerge. Emphasis is placed on practical application, ethical integration, and creating a grounded, client-centered experience.

By the end of the training, participants will have a clear framework for incorporating Reiki into their work in a way that feels both intuitive and clinically aligned.

Cost: $100


This training bridges the wisdom and practice of Reiki with a modern understanding of trauma, the nervous system, and mental health. It is designed for Reiki practitioners who want to feel more confident and prepared when challenging experiences arise before, during, or after a session.

Together, we’ll explore the role Reiki can play in supporting mental health, the autonomic nervous system, Polyvagal Theory, trauma-informed principles, tools for regulation, foundational elements of Somatic Experiencing, and more. You’ll learn practical tools for recognizing activation and supporting clients without rushing to fix, interpret, or push them through what they are experiencing.

Through lecture, group discussion, live practice, and self-study, participants will develop the awareness, language, and skills to work within their scope while responding with greater presence, discernment, and care.

Somatic Reiki Practitioner Training offers a trauma-responsive, embodied approach to Reiki that honors the origins of the practice while helping practitioners develop the tools and confidence to more skillfully meet the challenges that can arise when working with people today.

Cost: $1650


Reiki mentorship is an opportunity to continue learning and advancing your skills following your formal Reiki training. There are countless approaches to teaching Reiki and so much variation in content and techniques offered from teacher to teacher. There is always more to learn! 

This program is open to students who have trained with me and students of other teachers. Mentorship is an excellent way to hold yourself accountable for regular practice when just beginning your Reiki journey. It’s also a great way to reignite your passion for Reiki if you are not new, but haven’t channeled the energy in some time. Finally, mentorship is appropriate for my fellow Reiki nerds who are passionate about learning and exploring Reiki in every way possible with like-minded individuals.

Basic mentorship includes:

  • A monthly zoom call and practice session
  • Recommended reading
  • Independent Study Suggestions

Advanced mentorship includes all of the above plus:

  • Case Studies
  • Shadow Sessions
  • Additional Attunements

If you are interested in mentorship, please contact me to learn more or book a free call to see if I am the right mentor for you. I’d be honored to be part of your Reiki journey.
