🧘‍♀️ Why This Course Is Different

Online Reiki courses can vary a lot. We created this training to be clear, thorough, and well-paced — with attunements integrated as an essential part of your learning. Reiki is more than information — it’s an experience. We keep it simple and grounded, so you can learn with clarity, presence, and real practice.

✔️ We created the course materials ourselves (videos, e-book, and supportive extras)
✔️ We offer distance attunements in a way that respects your schedule and time zone
✔️ The lessons are designed to help you learn deeply, not just skim
✔️ You’ll receive a downloadable certificate after completion

No fluff, no hype — just grounded, reliable Reiki training.

Prefer in-person Reiki?
We love face-to-face Reiki training whenever it’s possible. But we also know life and location don’t always allow it - that’s why we created this course as a supportive online alternative. 

✔️ This course is a great fit if you: 
✔️ have a busy schedule 
✔️ don’t have local classes nearby 
✔️ can’t travel easily right now 
✔️ prefer learning privately at your own pace

"I would highly recommend this course to all those wanting to learn Reiki. This is an awesome course with tons of useful information. Compared to other courses, the instructors recorded themselves to show us the practical side of hands on in Reiki." - Dayamí V

Reiki is a gentle system for healing and self-development.

 The word Reiki comes from Japan and is often described as universal life energy. In Reiki, we learn to channel this energy for ourselves or others by placing our hands gently on or just above the body. Reiki is based on the teachings of Mikao Usui (1865–1926) and is widely practiced today for relaxation, emotional balance, stress support, and spiritual growth.

Reiki has 4 levels — and we start with Level 1

Reiki Level 1 (this course)
We teach you the foundations of Reiki, including self-treatment and simple hands-on sessions for others. You’ll also receive your Reiki Level 1 attunements so you can begin practicing confidently.

Reiki Level 2 (next step, optional)
If you choose to continue, we introduce the Reiki symbols and deeper techniques, including distance Reiki and emotional/mental support practices.

 Reiki Level 2 – Deepen Your Energy Healing Practice

Reiki Level 3 (Master) & Level 4 (Teacher)
For those who feel called to go further, we offer advanced training for personal mastery and, if desired, learning how to teach Reiki.

Attunements (Reiki Level 1)

An attunement is an initiation that helps you connect to Reiki so you can begin channeling Reiki for yourself and others.

What might you experience?

Many students experience the attunements as deeply relaxing. You might feel warmth, emotions, or a sense of peace. Everyone’s experience is different.

How many attunements do we give in Reiki Level 1?

In Reiki Level 1, we provide four attunements (traditional Level 1 attunements), and we guide you step by step through the process inside the course.

Do distance attunements work?

Yes. Distance attunements work on the same principle as distance Reiki: we connect with you energetically and perform the attunement as we would in person.

Most importantly, you’ll also learn the Reiki foundations and practice first, so you feel confident using Reiki responsibly.

How We Give Your Distance Attunements

We make receiving your attunements simple and flexible to fit your schedule and time zone:

🌟 Attunement Depot (Chi Ball) method: we prepare your attunement so you can receive it at a time that fits your schedule.

🌟 Live appointment option: distance attunements with an appointment are possible when schedules align.

You’ll also receive a guided meditation in the course so you know exactly what to do.

🌟 What You’ll Learn & Experience

 By the end of this course you will:
✨ Understand the essence of Reiki energy and its history
✨ Be initiated into Reiki with four Level 1 attunements
✨ Learn how to: give Reiki to yourself give Reiki to friends, family, and loved ones support emotional and physical balance
✨ Explore chakras, aura, and energy fundamentals

Better the 2nd time around

I took my level 1 and 2 almost 10 years ago and decided to retake them prior to taking my Master and Teacher courses and I'm sure glad that I did. The way the content of the course is presented in video, audio and text makes all material sink in really well. I love that the videos are short and nothing drags out. Thank you again Daniela and Lina for another fun and interesting course!
