Classes

Taking a Reiki class is one of the most powerful gifts you can give yourself. You'll gain the ability to channel healing energy for your own well-being — and for the people you love. Classes follow the traditional Usui Shiki Ryoho lineage, passed down from Dr. Mikao Usui through Hawayo Takata and John Harvey Gray.

  • Best for: Anyone curious about Reiki — no prior experience required. First Degree gives you the ability to heal yourself and others through hands-on Reiki.

    What you'll receive:

    • 4 attunements over 2 days — connecting you to the Reiki lineage and opening your hands to channel healing energy

    • Four-part oral history of Usui Shiki Ryoho — the living tradition behind the practice

    • Specific hand positions for treating yourself and others

    • Basic anatomy overview so you know what's beneath your hands

    • The chakra system and energy centers of the body

    • How to use Reiki in emergency situations

    • First-Degree Reiki certificate upon completion

    The unique quality of this lineage: practitioners do not absorb or take on the negative energies of the people they treat.

  • Best for: First-Degree students who have been practicing regularly for 3–6 months and are ready to deepen their skills.

    What you'll learn:

    • Channel more energy during treatments with greater precision

    • Use ancient Reiki symbols to enhance your practice

    • Release old beliefs, emotions, and mental/emotional blocks in yourself and others

    • Send Distance Reiki Treatments — through time and space — to anyone, anywhere

    • 2 attunements and extensive hands-on practice

    • Second-Degree Reiki certificate upon completion

  • Best for: Reiki practitioners who want to bring a deeper energetic precision to their sessions.

    This class teaches diagnostic and energetic techniques from John Harvey Gray's lineage — detailed in his book Hand to Hand. These tools have enhanced Dave's practice for years and allow practitioners to understand and address the energetic state of a client before and after treatment.

    What you'll learn:

    • Opening and closing chakras — how to open chakras at the start of a session to allow more Reiki in, and seal them at the end to hold the healing longer

    • Scanning the chakras — checking the overall energetic vitality of a client's body before treatment

    • Zinging — diagnosing weak or depleted areas in the body to focus treatment more effectively

  • Best for: Second-Degree students and Reiki Masters looking to build a professional practice, deepen clinical skills, and earn credentials.

    Program Includes:

    • Hands-on Usui Shiki Ryoho training in the John Harvey Gray lineage

    • Clinical practice: 50 hrs individual sessions + 50 hrs group work

    • Monthly class sessions (6 hrs) and supervised group discussions (2.5 hrs)

    • Partner exchanges, 2 client observations, and daily self-treatment

    • Professional development and ongoing mentorship from Dave

    • Final assessment: a full observed Reiki session

    • Certificate + group celebration on completion

    • Eligibility to apply for the 2,000-hour Reiki Master Apprenticeship

    Class size is capped at 6 students (one-on-one option available when space allows).

    New cohort coming soon — contact Dave to express interest and schedule a phone interview.

  • Best for: Second-Degree Reiki practitioners who feel called to teach and carry the tradition forward.

    In our lineage, we take great care with our Master Candidates — teaching them to carry on the teachings of the Usui System of Natural Healing and to transmit this tradition to their own students with integrity and depth. This is a substantial, life-changing commitment.
