My Reiki classes offer you an accessible, supportive, and transformational path to get to know your True Self.
“Whatever is impelling us is rooted in a mystery. … Something new is being shaped that began before time itself was formed. We’re not causing it to happen. We’re letting it happen in us.” – William Martin
Reiki is a gentle, yet profound, healing art and spiritual practice that originated in Japan a century ago by a spiritual teacher and healer named Mikao Usui.
In my Reiki classes, I show you how you can easily bring Reiki spiritual healing into your life. Reiki practice helps you tap into the abundant, life-sustaining energies of Heaven and Earth.
Learning Reiki invites you to be more present for yourself and grounded in your energy and emotions. Reiki practice will help you live with more gratitude, compassion, and purpose.
I teach all levels of Komyo ReikiDo, a true Japanese-style Reiki that presents this spiritual healing art as it was understood and commonly practiced in Japan in the 1930’s.
I was certified as a Komyo ReikiDo Shihan (teacher who can teach other teachers) in 2010 by Hyakuten Inamoto, a Japanese Buddhist monk who lives in Kyoto, my direct teacher and founder of the system (see my story.)
I’m the first fully qualified Shihan to practice and teach Komyo ReikiDo in the Southeast. Twice, I’ve hosted Hyakuten Inamoto in Atlanta. As commitment to my own practice, I’ve sat for full Komyo ReikiDo training four times with him.
I was also certified as a Reiki Master in 2006 in the Usui System of Natural Healing from Brad Dixon.
Why choose to take a Reiki class with me?
Teaching Reiki is one of my big joys in life and I am honored to share this practice with you.
Reiki is so much more than a technique or modality for hands-on healing. Reiki is a complete practice for personal well-being and spiritual growth that reconnects us with the miraculous and sacred energy of the universe.
Whether you are interested in learning Reiki as a personal practice for self-care, would like to eventually practice or teach Reiki professionally, I am here to mentor and accompany you on your journey. I have been teaching Reiki classes and facilitating workshops regularly since 2009.
What sets me apart from many other Reiki teachers is that my Reiki practice isn’t something I do as an add-on to my healing work, or something I occasionally enjoy sharing with other people.
Reiki is my primary spiritual and healing practice. My deep experience with Reiki practice benefits you directly because I have nearly two decades and thousands of hours of my own practice to draw from when I teach my Reiki classes.
As an experienced teacher, I offer the education, tools, and support to help you make the most of the practical and spiritual aspects of Komyo ReikiDo practice, including:
- Official Komyo ReikiDo manuals
- Group and individual mentoring
- Video series to support your daily practice
- Private community Facebook group
- Private student practice days (online and in-person)
- Continuing education workshops
What is Komyo ReikiDo?
Komyo ReikiDo is a complete system of traditional Japanese-style Reiki. Each level is meant to build upon each other in the context of a Japanese approach to spiritual healing, philosophy, and practice. Komyo ReikiDo is a path of deep reverence, mastery through practice, and shoshin (beginner’s mind.)
The purpose of Komyo ReikiDo is to strive for the improvement of mind and body through Reiki practice, to cultivate a healthy and peaceful life.
In Japanese, “do” means ‘a way, or a path’, especially in context with a spiritual training or practice. The emphasis of Komyo ReikiDo teachings have always been on Reiki practice as a pathway to healing and a ‘gateway to spiritual awakening’. Enhanced healing ability comes naturally when we realize our innate connection to the Universe.
Komyo ReikiDo is Usui Reiki in form and practice, because it retains the concepts that originated in Japan with Mikao Usui and were transmitted forward via his successor, Chujiro Hayashi, with very few “modern” updates.
Komyo ReikiDo Levels
I welcome students from any lineage or level of practice. However, Komyo ReikiDo International requires that all students interested in learning Komyo ReikiDo start at Level I (Shoden). This applies even if you’re a Reiki Master in another system. It enables you to gain a full understanding of our approach to this spiritual healing art and practice.
Shoden (Level I): The beginner introduction to Japanese-style Reiki teaches you the basics of hands-on healing to take better care of yourself. Shoden includes basic approaches for offering Reiki to family and friends. In this Reiki class, you will be taught about the Reiki Precepts and how to use them. You will learn Japanese spiritual concepts, spiritual lineage, and ancestral practice. As part of Shoden training, you will also learn daily meditations to increase your vital energy. Shoden is taught throughout the year. Fee: $250
Chuden (Level II): This intermediate level teaches you traditional Japanese Reiki healing techniques. You will learn 3 symbols and mantras for focusing energy, mental/emotional healing, and distance healing. In this class, you will also learn hands-on approaches for vital energy balancing and toxin release. As part of your training, you will also be introduced to energetic and meditative practices for your continued spiritual development. Chuden is taught several times a year. Fee: $275
Okuden (Level III): This advanced level supports your continued spiritual growth as a Reiki practitioner. You will learn one additional symbol and mantra as a personal empowerment. Okuden completes all of the practitioner-level KRD training, which means you must maintain a consistent practice with Komyo ReikiDo to be eligible. Students must wait a minimum of 6 months after taking Chuden before taking this level. Okuden is taught once or twice a year. Fee: $375
Shinpiden (Level IV): This level is offered by invitation only for students who are serious about their Reiki practice and intend to teach Komyo ReikiDo. It takes a minimum of 2.5 – 3 years for students to complete the practitioner-level work necessary to qualify for teacher training. Shinpiden training is a path of personal commitment, deep practice, and spiritual growth. Once you are initiated into Shinpiden, you must complete a year-long apprenticeship with me before you are given permission to begin teaching Komyo ReikiDo.
Note: Komyo ReikiDo is like many other Japanese-style practices (martial arts, flower arranging, calligraphy.) You must demonstrate proficiency in practice to advance to the next level of training.
Post-class practice exercises and assignments must be completed in order to receive certificates. Then you will be eligible to continue training at intermediate and advanced levels. My students also regularly re-sit for Reiki classes at a reduced fee to refresh their knowledge.
