Usui Reiki Level 1 Training This Fall 2026 — Why I'm Finally Teaching It
There is something I have been noticing lately in my sessions, in classrooms, in quiet conversations with both adults and children.
We are all carrying… a lot.
And yet beneath that weight, there is something steady. Something that doesn't disappear.
Energy. Not created. Not destroyed. Simply… shifting.
I Didn't Come to Reiki the Easy Way
I didn't come to Reiki the way some people do.
I came to it tired. After a year of chemotherapy and radiation. After my body had been through something I wouldn't wish on anyone. After I had learned more than I ever wanted to know about what it feels like to not be well.
I wasn't looking for something spiritual or mystical. I was looking for something that could meet me exactly where I was.
A friend suggested Reiki. I didn't have strong feelings about it. I just went.
I remember lying on the table that first time not knowing what to expect. Somewhere in the middle of that session, something in me went quiet.
Not numb. Quiet.
There is a difference. Numb is absence. What I felt was more like arriving somewhere I hadn't realized I'd been trying to get to.
I went back. I kept going back.
And somewhere along the way it became part of how I understand healing for myself and for the people I work with.
This Fall, I am finally ready to teach it.
Who This Reiki Training Is Really For
This is not a training for people who have it all figured out.
It is for people who are curious. People who are tired. People who take care of everyone else and are not quite sure how to take care of themselves. People who have been through something hard and are ready to come back to themselves.
It is for parents and caregivers who want real tools, not just concepts.
It is for anyone who has ever felt something shift during a quiet moment and wondered what that was.
If any of that sounds familiar, this is for you.
Why This Training Matters Now More Than Ever
We are living in a time where:
Our children are navigating constant digital stimulation
Our teenagers are carrying pressures we didn't have words for
Our adults are balancing stress, uncertainty, and responsibility
Grounding ourselves has become harder. And yet it is more necessary than ever.
When we create moments of stillness, when we allow the body to settle and the mind to quiet, we begin to see real shifts:
Focus improves
Sleep deepens
Confidence grows
Emotional regulation strengthens
A sense of calm returns
This is where healing begins. Not in perfection… but in presence.
What You Will Learn in Usui Reiki Level 1
This training is designed for beginners and those curious about energy work. No prior experience needed, just an open mind and a willingness to pay attention to what your body is already telling you.
What we will cover:
Foundations of Usui Reiki energy
Understanding how the body receives and uses energy
Introduction to chakras and energetic awareness
Self-Reiki practices for daily grounding
Hand positions for self and others
How to create a calm, safe healing space
This is not about doing it perfectly. It is about learning to trust what you feel.
Special Add-On Trainings
We are also offering unique extensions to support different communities:
Reiki for Pets: Led by Eileen, who is certified in animal Reiki. Animals receive energy openly and without resistance, and there is honestly a lot we can learn from watching them.
Reiki for Children, Preteens and Teens: A focused approach to supporting younger nervous systems. Helping them build emotional awareness, focus, confidence, and real tools for calming anxiety, not just managing it.
Adult Applications: For caregivers, parents, professionals, and those navigating life transitions. Tools for grounding, resilience, and genuine self-care, especially for the people who keep forgetting to put themselves on the list.
A Note on Care and a Limited Time Offer
If you have been feeling overwhelmed, tired, or simply off, you are not alone.
As part of this offering, I continue to provide Reiki sessions at 50% off for a limited time. A way to support you in caring for your own energy right now, before the training even begins.
Because before we care for others, we must learn to care for ourselves. Not as a concept. In practice.
The Reiki Training Waitlist Is Open Now
This training will be offered Fall 2026, with limited spots. Kept small intentionally because this kind of learning deserves real attention and real connection.
If you feel even the slightest nudge of curiosity, I invite you to follow it.

Where is the grace here? Perhaps it's in remembering that everything we need to begin is already within us.
