I trained as a Reiki practitioner in the late 90’s and followed a traditional training route. Following my First Degree and then, later, my Second Degree with my teacher, I was then accepted by this teacher for a one year ‘Reiki Master’ apprenticeship (I was only the second person in a twelve-year period that this teacher agreed to train as a Reiki Master). At the end of the year, I became a Reiki Master in the Usui Reiki lineage. I also trained in the Reiki Jin Kei Do system as well.
I was the first person in this field appointed under an NHS contract to work with cancer patients at a leading UK hospital.
According to the US government’s NIH medical research agency, Reiki is ‘Bio-field Medicine’, which “involves systems that use subtle energy fields in and around the body for medical purposes".
Courses - Reiki is easily taught to anyone who wishes to learn. Once learnt, you can use it just for yourself, or, if you choose, for others.
I teach traditional First Degree and Second Degree courses, The First Degree course is suitable for anyone, and requires no prior knowledge or experience in any area. The Second Degree course is particularly suitable for those who wish to become skilful practitioners. Each course is typically run over either two consecutive days, or four consecutive evenings, or a combination of the two. The courses are strictly limited to maximum numbers.
