Step into Your Light: Reiki Refresher Private Class
For those who trained in Reiki in the past but are looking to have a refresher on techniques, practices and tools to begin expanding their Reiki practice personally or professionally. This will be a customized experience based on your needs and intentions and will include a Reiki blessing and clearing ceremony to honor your role as a healer as well as time to ask questions, receive feedback and get practical suggestions to help you on your Reiki journey.
Please note that this is not a time to learn a new level of Reiki (please see my Reiki classes if you are interested in that), this is about honing in on what you already know and expanding on that so you can move forward with more confidence and tools to help yourself and others.
Classes are 2.5 hours and include my Reiki resource manuals up to the level you have previously trained in.
