Reiki Level 1 Training Course London
Learn Reiki in small, supportive classes with an experienced Reiki Master Teacher in London
What you’ll learn in Reiki Level 1
Shoden Level - The Beginners Teaching
The Usui Reiki Level 1 Course is aimed at those who are new to Reiki or those looking to refresh their skills. You will learn how to deeply feel and connect to the Reiki energy that flows through all of us. You will be taught how to conduct a beautiful Reiki treatment on yourself, your friends and family.
From these teachings, you will learn about the history of Reiki, gain an understanding of what universal energy is from both a spiritual and scientific perspective, as well being shown how to bring Reiki into your daily life.
You will also learn how to manage your own energy so you can enjoy healing others without feeling drained or tired.
To create an environment that allows learning and healing to take place in a loving and harmonious way, I prefer to keep my class sizes small. This also ensures you get plenty of hands-on practice and time for self-reflection.
The venue is surrounded by nature which helps us to stay grounded as we appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. My style of teaching is relaxed, informative, enjoyable and friendly.

What Reiki 1 Clients Say…
“Such a beautiful weekend on the Reiki 1 Course. Gwen held a supportive, inclusive, warm, gentle and joyful space for us all. I loved learning about the principles of Reiki, receiving the attunements and starting to practise Reiki. I am going to book Level 2 and intend to follow the Advanced Professional Reiki Practitioner Diploma.
I highly recommend booking with Gwen.”
