Meet Dave Hadley, a Certified Reiki Master Teacher and Practitioner.

And the owner of Awakened Light Reiki.

Awakened Light Reiki is in the Mission District in San Francisco where Dave has spent the last decade working with clients and students who are ready to heal physically, emotionally, and energetically.

His practice is rooted in the traditional Usui System of Natural Healing (Usui Shiki Ryoho) passed down through the teachings of Dr. Mikao Usui and Mrs. Hawayo Takata, the woman who brought Reiki to the West, through the initiating lineage of John Harvey Gray.

Dave’s Reiki practitioner journey started in 2015 when he was initiated by Reiki Master Brian Brunius of New York Reiki Center in the first degree of Reiki and then six months later he was initiated by Brian in the second degree of Reiki.

In 2021, Dave was initiated as a Reiki Master Teacher after completing a two-year, 2,000-hour apprenticeship with Reiki Master Christopher Tellez of the San Francisco Reiki Center.

Dave believes Reiki should be accessible to everyone. He’s dedicated his home in the Mission District to his practice, which allows him to keep fees reasonable and offer a sliding scale to those who need it. Students and clients alike often say the space is a kind, loving, and safe container designed for powerful physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healings.

  • Who is Reiki for?

  • For anyone navigating a wide range of physical, emotional, or energetic needs.

    Physical pain, injury, or illness. Trauma, anxiety, fear, depression, or stress. Pre and post surgery support.

  • For people seeking a spiritual deepening and an energetic clearing.

    Autoimmune conditions and chronic symptoms. Shifting stuck patterns. Deep rest, relaxation, and overall well-being.

  • But the truth is, you don't need to have a specific condition or prior experience with Reiki.

    Many people come simply because something isn't working and they're ready for something different.

  • Reiki meets you wherever you are.

Dave’s Approach to Treatments and Teaching

Whether you are a first-time client or a longtime student, my goal is the same: to bring my full experience and attention to that individual, and to create a loving, safe space that is entirely about their healing.

When it comes to treatments, I encourage clients to come regularly. Those who come consistently experience deep, lasting changes. But even a few sessions can create powerful shifts. Each treatment builds on the last, and Reiki works through gentle purification, releasing what has been stuck, stored, or weighing you down.

With teaching, I invite both curious newcomers and experienced practitioners to experience Reiki from the inside. In my experience, Reiki is a limitless gift that continues to expand. And I'm honored to be part of that journey with each of my clients and students.

“It is with deep gratitude that I can experience the changes of both the clients that I get to treat as well as the students that I get to teach! And, watch them both grow, in Reiki!”
