Traditional Reiki - Shoden
Level 1 Course

The traditional Usui Reiki system is a fantastic tool for anyone interested in increasing their well-being and starting a meditation practice.
Level 1 is a simple and beautiful initiation into a loving path of self-guidance and community support.

When I took my Reiki Level 1 Course, I was on the verge of burnout, feeling so disconnected from myself and the world around me. A few months later, I quit my job and decided to find a more aligned career path. I would have never imagined that this would include teaching Reiki. But what is sure, is that Reiki has supported me all along the way, through challenging times and drastic life changes. I am so grateful that it found me, and that I can now share it with others.

What is Reiki?

Reiki (or Usui Reiki Ryoho) is a technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes self-healing. It comes from Japan and has been passed down through generations, being practiced for the last 100 years. It is used for maintaining and restoring the health and wellness of the body, mind, and spirit. It is based on meditation, mindfulness, present touch, and compassion. You can read more about Reiki here.

What will you learn?

In this course, you will learn the traditional art of “energy healing” that has been practiced for centuries. We will talk about the fundamentals of Reiki, including its history, principles, and techniques.

I will also share with you my knowledge of the human body and nervous system, as well as different practices to ground oneself, through meditation and breathwork.

The goal of the Level 1 Course is to develop a personal reiki meditation practice to find balance and awareness each day. After completing the course, you are invited to undertake a 21-day self-cleansing and treatment period before you start applying Reiki for others.

Why Reiki?

The most beautiful thing about Reiki, in my opinion, is that it is for everybody. You don’t need any prior knowledge or hundreds of hours of meditation. You just need to be open, curious, and compassionate. Allow Reiki to be your guide on this wonderful journey that is life.

Join me on this journey of self-discovery, love, and compassion as we explore the world of Reiki together.

  • « I had the pleasure of participating in a Reiki level 1 course organized by Joanna and I can only recommend it! She had done a great preparation and took the time to explain everything about the origins and history of Reiki but also the practice which turned out to be a magical experience! I learned a lot in two days and I left really delighted! Again, a big thank you to you Joanna ✨🧘🏼‍♀️🫶 »

  • « I had a great time during the two days. The content was very well prepared and well balanced. The first day was more theoretical and the second day was more practical, it was very good. The small group of four allowed for a lot of interaction, asking questions, exchanging feelings and making the training very personal. I went home looking forward to start self-treatment! :-) »

FAQ

  • There is no need to have any experience with Reiki, meditation, or spirituality. You will learn everything you need to know during the course and you will experience receiving and giving Reiki on the last day. I always recommend to have one treatment before joining the course, but it is not mandatory at all.

  • Yes, just get in touch with me and we can arrange a private Reiki Level 1 Course. It will last over a day of approx. 8 hours and we can do it in person in Berlin or online. The price for a private training is 450€.

  • For online courses, the students will receive their Manuals and certificates via email. The content of the course can be shared very well online.
