I'm Dave Hadley, a Certified Reiki Master Teacher and practitioner.
Awakened Light Reiki is in the Mission District in San Francisco where I've spent the last decade working with clients and students who are ready to heal physically, emotionally, and energetically.
My 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.
I was initiated as a Reiki Master Teacher in 2021 after completing a two-year, 2,000-hour apprenticeship with Reiki Master Christopher Tellez of the San Francisco Reiki Center.
I believe Reiki should be accessible to everyone. I've dedicated my home in the Mission District to my practice, which allows me to keep fees reasonable and offer a sliding scale to those who need it. My space is a kind, loving, and safe space designed for physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual healings.
Hear from past students and clients
"I am so glad I found Dave! I have gotten both in-person and Distance Reiki from Dave and the results have been nothing less than miraculous. Within four visits I noticed a dramatic reduction in pain and all my other symptoms. I am now completely healed. He's the real deal!"
— Kirstin L., Student
"Dave brings a lot of kindness, empathy, patience, and knowledge to his teachings. Learned so much from his First- and Second-Degree Reiki classes and was greatly supported as a student. It's such a gift to receive Reiki at his Circles. Thank you Dave!"
— Shin Yi T., Student
"After I broke my ankle, my heel, and my sacrum, Dave's treatments felt so amazing and healing. My pain decreased and my overall emotional state became very calm. Dave is so respectful, loving, and kind. I felt completely safe in his hands."
— Marya T., Client
Reiki Offerings | Classes and Treatments
In-Person Reiki Treatments
Hands-on Reiki sessions in my Mission District sanctuary. Each session is tailored to where you are physically and emotionally — with a pre-treatment check-in, the full treatment, and a follow-up the next day.
Great for:
Physical pain, injury recovery, or chronic conditions
Trauma, anxiety, depression, or emotional heaviness
Deep rest and nervous system reset
Pre- or post-surgery support
I recommend that new clients select the 2-hour treatment for your first treatment to provide you the necessary time to see where you are at physically and emotionally.
Sessions: 90 min · 2 hrs · 3 hrs | Starting at $165
Distance & Virtual Reiki
Distance Reiki is sent through time and space and is just as effective as hands-on work. Virtual sessions are conducted over Zoom, with the same intake, treatment, and check-in structure as in-person visits.
Great for:
Those who are homebound or traveling
Clients in different cities or time zones
Follow-up sessions between in-person visits
Those who prefer to be in their own home
I recommend that new clients select the 2-hour treatment for your first treatment to provide you the necessary time to see where you are at physically and emotionally.
Sessions: 30 min · 60 min · 90 min | Starting at $75
Reiki Classes
Learn to channel Reiki energy for yourself and the people you love. Classes follow the traditional Usui Shiki Ryoho lineage. Taught over two full days with attunements, hands-on practice, and lineage history.
Great for:
Clients looking to expand their connection to reiki
Students wanting to transform themselves
Students wishing to give others (family, pets, friends) hands-on reiki treatments
Reiki practitioners transfer Reiki energy through their hands into the receiver and the Reiki healing energy stimulates cells and revitalizes the body which helps the receiver to heal.
Sessions: 30 min · 60 min · 90 min | Starting at $75
Who is Reiki for?
Reiki meets you wherever you are.
Clients come to Awakened Light Reiki to address a wide range of physical, emotional, and energetic needs:
Physical pain, injury, or illness recovery
Trauma — physical, emotional, mental, or sexual
Anxiety, fear, depression, and stress
Navigating major life changes or transitions
Pre- and post-surgery support
Managing side effects of cancer treatments
Autoimmune conditions and chronic symptoms
Shifting stuck patterns — physical, mental, or habitual
Spiritual deepening and energetic clearing
Deep rest, relaxation, and overall well-being
Dialoguing and end-of-life transitioning support
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.
My Approach
Meeting you where you are.
Whether I'm working with 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 grow in Reiki!!
