Learning how to use Reiki to balance your energy systems, support your loved ones, and complement your spiritual and holistic practices is the beginning of a profound and special journey.
Benefits of First Degree Reiki Level 1
Meditation and Mindfulness
Learning to harness Usui Reiki naturally increases our self-awareness and ability to practice mindfulness and meditation. Even if you’ve struggled with meditation techniques before, your training will teach you a technique that everyone can utilise. Plus, it comes with so many more benefits that you’ll be itching to get started.
Self-Healing Techniques
The original system of Mikao Usui’s Reiki focused primarily on the student’s own healing and spiritual development, more so than on treating others. Learning Reiki allows you to take control of your well-being, enhance your healing energy, and connect with the universal life force. While Reiki symbols are a key aspect of deeper practice and formally taught in Level 2, Level 1 introduces the foundational principles that prepare you for their use. You’ll take part in a practice session to help deepen your understanding of Reiki practice and develop confidence in working with energy.
Supporting Those Your Care About
It’s tough to watch loved ones go through challenges in life. Learning Usui Reiki provides everything you need to carry out healing treatments for others, including children and pets. Whether you want to support your loved ones or progress to practitioner level, this course offers a strong foundation in Reiki practice. You’ll gain hands-on experience and the skills needed to continue as a Reiki practitioner.
About Your First Degree Reiki Level 1
Shoden Reiki Level 1 - Reiki Materials
As soon as you book your course, you’ll gain access to a comprehensive course manual and a wealth of online training materials. These pre-course lessons gently guide you through the foundations of natural healing, so the live training can focus on hands-on practice and answering your questions.

Modulated First Degree Training Course
Highly Recommended!
This training is run over two consecutive Saturday mornings. Each module starts at 9.30 am and finishes at 1 pm. Students prefer this training method because it offers a better pace for integrating what you learn and establishing new Reiki routines. Research indicates that shorter learning slots are far more effective than long, intense days.
£160 (includes a non-refundable deposit of £80)

One Day First Degree Training Course
This is a one-day training course with 45 minutes for lunch. Students will need to bring their own lunch. The day starts promptly at 9.30 am and finishes at 5.30 pm. It is an intensive day and best suited to those who are travelling some distance to attend the course or can’t make the more recommended modulated training.

Here's What My Students Say...
“I cannot recommend this wonderful course enough. It was a fantastic day of intuition, peace and inspiration. I was apprehensive that I wouldn’t be able to tune in, but amazingly, it happened for all of us, and it demonstrated to me the power of the energy. It was a beautiful experience to give and receive a full reiki treatment, and I actually felt a whole lot better after giving one. Thank you for this amazing course. You are a fantastic teacher, and it was a pleasure to spend the day with you and such lovely people. I’m very much looking forward to the second degree.”
“Thoroughly enjoyable Reiki Level 1 course from beginning to end. It’s a perfect added bonus to the Complementary Therapies I offer. Tina is a very inclusive teacher and imparts valuable insights from longstanding experience. Since the course, I have meditated daily and Reiki gets stronger all the time. I have consistently warm hands and tingling in many places. I am very excited to see how things progress and will be booking the Second Degree course very soon. It is an honour to have been taught by Tina.”
“I completed my Reiki first degree course with Tina over a month ago and have enjoyed the benefits ever since. Not only have I been benefiting from Reiki self-healing but my family, as well as my pets, love it. I found Tina’s approach to conducting the course very helpful as I received the study material beforehand, so I knew what to expect on the day. What I found valuable was a hands-on approach on the day of the course. It was all practical work with a small group to share other experiences and ask questions. I highly recommend this course if you are looking for an effective way to learn Reiki. Thank you, Tina.”

Would You Prefer A Call Back?
If you would prefer to communicate via phone, I'm more than happy to do so. I provide a call-back system to avoid playing phone tag. Sometimes, I need to switch off my phone, such as when I'm meditating or working with clients, so this is the easiest way to speak with me.
