​
Not all healers are the same. Some are simply more qualified...truth!
Today, it’s easy to find online Reiki courses that promise quick certifications with minimal effort. While self-study and home practice are important parts of learning Reiki, it’s essential to understand that Reiki is not just a technique—it’s a sacred transmission, traditionally passed from teacher to student in a personal, energetic exchange.
​
This transmission—known as an attunement—is a deeply meaningful ritual that can’t be authentically replicated by pre-recorded videos or AI-guided modules. You deserve more than a generic, fast-track experience. You deserve a real connection with a trained, experienced teacher who can guide you, answer your questions, and hold space for your unique journey.
​
Yes, Reiki requires dedication, self-practice, and time. But having a trusted teacher by your side ensures that you receive the wisdom, support, materials and energetic integrity needed to grow—both in your own healing and in your ability to support others.
​
Be discerning. This path is sacred, and so are you.​​
Why choose Private Reiki Training or an Advanced Program?
Prepare yourself from the inside out in becoming a professional certified reiki master teacher & intuitive healer. Be a beacon of illumination within the healing journey of others!
When I first began my Reiki journey at some of the top centers in NYC, I found myself in crowded classrooms with over 30 students. While the teachings were valuable, I longed for a more personal experience—time to truly connect with the masters, ask questions, and receive individual guidance.
​
That’s what led me to seek out more intimate, personalized training—and it changed everything.
Reiki is not one-size-fits-all. It’s a deeply personal practice that resonates differently for each person. It’s meant to blend with your authentic gifts, ideas, and natural personality. To truly embody its essence, you need space and time to explore and integrate the practice in a way that feels true to you.
That’s why I offer private Reiki training. Working closely with a dedicated teacher creates a dynamic, customized experience—one that meets you where you are and helps you grow into the practitioner you’re meant to be.
More Than Certification—Personal Mentoring for Your Growth
​
When you train with me within a program, you don’t just receive a complete Reiki certification—you also receive personalized mentoring and life coaching sessions designed to support your healing, growth, and vision.
​
These one-on-one sessions are a sacred space for self-discovery, release, and transformation. Whether you're navigating personal blocks, exploring your intuitive gifts, or clarifying your next steps, you'll have my full support.
​
We can also focus on practical topics like starting your Reiki business, developing strong client relationships, or anything else that feels meaningful to your journey. This is your time to be seen, supported, and empowered in the ways that matter most to you.
​​
Investing in Personalized Reiki Training: A Path to Mastery
Yes, private Reiki trainings come at a higher cost—but as with all meaningful investments, you truly get what you pay for.
Reiki is an energetic exchange, and money is simply one expression of that energy. When you choose personalized instruction, you're not just paying for time—you're investing in depth, presence, and a transformational experience tailored specifically to you.
​
Private sessions offer more than just the curriculum. You gain direct access to the lived wisdom of a successful healer, receive focused guidance unique to your path, and benefit from real-time mentorship that supports your growth on every level—spiritual, personal, and professional.
​
Some people want to rush through Reiki Levels 1 and 2 over a weekend—and that’s okay for those simply curious. But if your goal is to develop a meaningful, sustainable practice and offer the highest quality experience to your future clients, taking the time to learn, embody, and integrate the teachings with a dedicated teacher by your side is truly invaluable.
​
The more you put into your development, the more Reiki gives back and remember, once you are attuned you are for life! That's why reiki is perfectly awesome.
