Usui Reiki Practitioner Certifications
Reiki (pronounced “ray-key”) means Universal Life Energy.
Reiki is a non-invasive healing modality that originated in Japan. It is practiced all over the world and has no religious affiliation or connotation.
Among other things, Reiki enhances the body’s natural ability to heal itself, promotes relaxation, and helps restore balance to all parts of the body: emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical.
And yes, ANYONE can learn how to be a Reiki practitioner!
I encourage nearly everyone to at least get certified as a Level I Reiki practitioner.
Once you are attuned to Reiki in your Level I class, you will have the ability to do self-Reiki, and to provide Reiki healing to your family, friends, pets, and plants.
But getting attuned to Reiki is also a huge catalyst for your own personal growth, and for the further development of your intuition. It also helps strengthen your relationship with Source (God/Universe/etc.), and it helps you learn to trust yourself on an even deeper level.
I teach and certify practitioners in traditional Usui Reiki: Levels I, II, and Master Teacher.
I do not teach Holy Fire Reiki. I try to schedule at least 1 class per month.
I am also open to scheduling private classes for those that can’t make it to the classes currently on the calendar. I can also travel to teach small groups that would like to take a class together at a location of their choosing.
My Reiki classes are held in-person only, as I don’t believe in distance attunements for traditional Usui Reiki practitioners. I discuss my reasons in this blog post.
My classes are limited to a maximum of 2 students per class at my office in Warwick, RI.
Smaller classes allow me to offer personalized guidance tailored to each student's unique needs. With fewer students there’s more space for open conversation, deeper connection, and meaningful learning.
Students feel more comfortable asking questions, exploring ideas, and truly being themselves. My goal is always to create a relaxed, welcoming environment where you can learn, grow, and thrive with confidence.
“What’s the energetic exchange for Reiki training?”
Reiki I certification is $275 per student.
Reiki II certification is $275 per student.
Reiki Master Teacher certification is $500 per student.
I’m here for you not just during the class, but after it too. As you begin to integrate what you’ve learned, deepen your practice, and connect more fully with your intuition, you will most likely have questions. Please know that you’re not alone on this journey; I am here to walk beside you, offering support and guidance every step of the way.
“Can I become a Reiki Master Teacher in a weekend?”
The short answer: No. And here’s why.
Reiki is a deep, transformational practice, not a quick certification. To truly embody its energy and wisdom, time, experience, and integration are essential.
For my Usui Reiki classes, there are required practice periods between each level:
Level I to Level II: minimum of 3 months
Level II to Master Teacher: minimum of 6 months
These intentional pauses give you time to fully absorb what you’ve learned, build confidence in your practice, and connect deeply with Reiki energy (and yourself) before progressing further.
And there’s zero rush! You are encouraged to move forward only when you truly feel ready once the minimum practice period has passed and your heart says “yes”.
Everyone’s Reiki journey is unique. Trust your timing, honor yourself, and know that I’m here to support and guide you along the way.
“Can I become a Reiki practitioner even if I don’t want to have a Reiki business?”
Absolutely!
You don’t need to have a Reiki business to benefit from becoming a practitioner.
Reiki is a powerful tool for healing, self-discovery, and intuitive growth. Even at Level I, it can help you reduce stress, support emotional balance, and deepen your connection to yourself and the world around you.
That’s why I encourage everyone to experience at least the first level of Reiki training. It’s a beautiful gift you can give yourself, whether or not you ever share it professionally.
“Do I need to change or give up my current spiritual practices if I become a Reiki practitioner?”
Absolutely not!
Reiki is a gentle healing practice rooted in love and light that complements any spiritual or religious path, and it doesn’t require you to follow any specific belief system.
Whether you have a deep spiritual practice, follow a particular religion, or don’t identify with any path at all, Reiki meets you exactly where you are. It enhances what already resonates with you, without asking you to change or give anything up.
Reiki is about connection, healing, and inner peace. And it’s open to everyone.
Please Be Aware
Reiki is not a replacement for any traditional medical treatments, nor is it intended to diagnose or treat any medical conditions. But it’s a great complement to any other medical treatment you are pursuing, so it can be incorporated into any wellness program.
