Skills that become anchors in everyday life & that you’ll carry with you long after the training ends.
What Is Reiki?
Reiki is a gentle, yet powerful Japanese healing technique that uses light touch to guide the body back into a state of balance and safety. By activating the parasympathetic nervous system (the “rest and digest” mode), Reiki helps release stress, calm the mind, and restore emotional equilibrium. It’s a deeply restorative practice that supports physical, emotional, and energetic healing, and it’s something anyone can learn. You do not need to consider yourself “spiritual” or be born with a special “gift.”
Who Is Reiki Level 1 For?
- Absolute beginners - no experience required!
- Those who have already received a Reiki Level 1 certificate from another teacher, but would like to refresh their skills.
- Wellness practitioners (counsellors, massage therapists, body workers, breathwork practitioners, nurses, hospice volunteers, etc.), looking to expand their self-care toolkit.
- Anyone drawn to holistic healing, energy work, or spiritual growth.
- Individuals seeking self-healing and deeper self-awareness.
- Individuals seeking to support friends, family members or pets (mentally, emotionally, physically).

Now, take a moment to imagine what life will feel like after completing Usui Reiki Level 1:
♡ You have the knowledge and tools to conduct Self-Reiki treatments for the maintenance of your own well being + health.
♡ You have the knowledge and tools to conduct Recipient Reiki treatments for supporting the well being of another (loved one, family, friend, animals).
♡ You will gain a deep understanding of the nervous system and how it interconnects with the auric field & the body’s seven main chakras. You’ll learn how to work with these energy centers while channeling Reiki, and how to apply this awareness in everyday life to create meaningful shifts on a mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual level.
♡ You’ll leave with practical tools and techniques for nervous system regulation, energetic protection, grounding, and cleansing. You’ll not only learn how to integrate these into your Reiki sessions, but also how essential they are for daily life - helping you maintain your energy, stay centred, and navigate the world with more clarity and resilience.
♡ You feel connected to something deeper & larger than yourself.
♡ Having completed Usui Reiki Shoden – Level 1 certification, you’ve taken the first step toward becoming professionally qualified to offer Reiki services. The next step on this path is completing the Usui Reiki Okuden – Level 2 training.
- Reiki Level 2 with Sacred Passage Healing is offered several times throughout the year and is intentionally scheduled approximately 3 – 4 weeks after select Level 1 trainings. This allows time for the traditional 21-day self-practice and integration period before advancing your Reiki skills.
- You’re welcome to join the next available Level 2 whenever you’re ready – there’s no pressure to continue immediately.
- Practitoner Pathway Pricing available: Register for both Reiki Level 1 and Level 2 together with exclusive bundled pricing (payment plans available).
