Essential Art of Reiki students are supported over a much longer timeframe, with more individual encouragement and validation, and on a more practical level than other Reiki training options.

I've met far too many Reiki students who were initially so excited about their training, yet they emerged from an inspiring workshop or weekend only to feel totally lost, without a solid personal practice or understanding of how to use Reiki in their real lives.

I created this original curriculum and teaching method to solve this problem, and I continue to update it with every new class, as I keep learning also.  In recent years this has included shifting to all virtual training in order to allow people from any location to join from the comfort of their own environment. 

My virtual groups allow connection between classes while avoiding all the distractions and confusing algorithms of mainstream social media.  Students are able to reach out to me and to each other for support as questions arise, and to share accomplishments right away.  It's also an easy way for me to share additional materials that I create as well as class slides and videos.

​

It's based on traditional Reiki levels or degrees, but much more thorough and personalized as well as grounded in practical applications and integrating Reiki into all other areas of life.

​

I know every Reiki practitioner is unique and I love helping my students find meaningful ways to develop, use and share Reiki in their real lives.

​

While Reiki is complementary with any other healing arts system or spiritual tradition, and I help students understand how to combine them while clarifying what is Reiki and what isn't, which can often be confusing.  Some definitions of Reiki are so broad that they seem to include everything, so I deliberately honor the source of whatever teachings or techniques we cover, focusing mainly on the most important and practical Reiki elements.
