Which Reiki Level Is Right for Me?
Reiki Level 1 – Shoden
The foundations of Reiki and self-practice
Reiki Level 1 is the starting point for anyone wishing to learn Reiki.
The focus is initially on your own practice and understanding, before learning how Reiki can also be shared with friends and family.
During your training you'll explore:

✓ The Reiki precepts/principles
✓ Hand positions for self-treatment
✓ Offering Reiki to others

You'll receive a comprehensive training manual and certificate following completion.
No previous Reiki experience is required.
Reiki Level 2 – Okuden
Deepen your Reiki practice
Reiki Level 2 is for students who have already completed Reiki Level 1 and would like to develop their practice further.
Training introduces the traditional Reiki symbols and explores additional ways Reiki can be incorporated into your personal practice and, where appropriate, work with others.
You'll explore:
✓ The Level 2 Reiki symbols and their traditional uses
✓ Developing confidence in your Reiki practice
✓ Distance Reiki
✓ Working with intention
✓ Reiki approaches traditionally associated with mental and emotional wellbeing
✓ Deepening awareness and intuition within your practice
✓ Considerations when offering Reiki to clients
✓ Your Reiki Level 2 attunement
Level 2 may be particularly suited to those considering incorporating Reiki into an existing wellbeing practice or eventually offering Reiki professionally.

Why Train With Kevin?
Why Train With Me?
As a Usui Reiki Master Teacher, I approach Reiki training with respect for its traditional foundations while making the teachings accessible, practical and relevant to everyday life.
My own experience of Reiki began as part of a much wider personal journey, so I understand that people arrive at Reiki for very different reasons.
Some students want a deeper connection with themselves. Some are simply curious about energy healing. Others hope to eventually support clients professionally.
Whatever brings you to Reiki, training is offered without pressure or judgement, with plenty of time to practise, ask questions and develop confidence at your own pace.:
Can Reiki Training Lead to Professional Practice?
Reiki Level 1 is primarily focused on developing your personal practice and sharing Reiki informally with friends and family.
Following Level 2, you may choose to explore offering Reiki more professionally. If this is your intention, I'll also discuss practical considerations around working responsibly with clients, including appropriate professional requirements.

More Than a Qualification
For many people, learning Reiki becomes more than acquiring a new skill. The practice can encourage greater self-awareness, mindfulness and connection with your own wellbeing.
My approach gives you space to explore that side of Reiki alongside the practical teachings — without expectation about what your experience should look or feel like.
