What is Reiki?

Reiki is a profoundly beautiful reconnection to self, bringing a true harmonising of mind, body and soul, Reiki rebalances our emotions, heals your physical body and restores mental wellbeing.

Founded by a Japanese Buddhist monk named Mikao Usui over 100 years ago, Reiki is actually two Japanese words that translate to Universal Energy/life force energy.

This loving energy has always existed and naturally flows within all of us and all living things.

Mikao Usui’s intention was for Reiki to bring health and happiness to everyone...without exception.

Reiki is a deeply relaxing in-person or distance healing treatment. As we encounter the stresses and challenges of life, we may be left feeling physically or emotionally depleted. Reiki helps with any physical, emotional and spiritual problem, restoring your body's own, innate ability to heal itself.

Train to provide Reiki within the NHS

Does Reiki Work

This programme is one of only 40 in the UK designed to enable a Reiki Practitioner to register with the Government founded Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council (CHNC), so you can work in professional environments where verification is required.

In addition to traditional Reiki 1 & Reiki 2 training, further aspects of intuitive Reiki, as well as regulatory, legal and general holistic healthcare topics are also covered.

If you are not intending to work with the NHS you do not need to do the Diploma. You can simply follow the traditional Reiki training path and just complete either Reiki 1, Reiki 2 and Reiki Master courses whenever you feel ready to do each one.

See the individual classes below.
