Please go to Usui Reiki South Africa for up to date course information and to enroll in a Reiki course.
Reiki Level 1 course
This course is for anyone who is drawn to Reiki as a personal healing and self-development tool and lays the foundation of Reiki.
Over the two days of this course, you will receive four Reiki 1 attunements which starts the flow of Reiki energy. You will be able to treat friends and family, and to use Reiki for your own healing and personal development. (Note that you will only be able to set up a professional practice to treat others for a fee, after receiving Reiki Level 2.)
I teach in a relaxed and personal style, and offer students plenty of time to practice the techniques on the other students.
I received my Reiki Master training in the Usui Tradition according to the Japanese and Western styles. I therefore teach Level 1 Reiki Courses in the Usui Tradition and my students are trained in both the Japanese and Western lineages.
The First Degree (Level 1) covers:

Reiki Level 2 (Practitioner) course
Over the two days of this course you will receive the Reiki Level 2 attunement which introduces the Reiki symbols. In the course you will learn and practice to use of each of the three symbols. It’s a lot of fun, especially when we experience a distance healing session for the first time!
Course requirements: At least three months must have passed since completing Level 1 training to allow your body and mind to adjust to the higher energetic vibrations, and to gain experience in giving Reiki treatments.
Certification: Students will only be issued with Practitioner certificates once they have submitted case studies.
It is not a prerequisite that you received your Reiki Level 1 training with me. As long as you are trained in the Usui style of Reiki, you are welcome to attend my Reiki Level 2 course.

You will receive the Usui Reiki Master attunement and learn and practice to use the Master symbol and its mantra. We also cover the history of Reiki and different Reiki traditions in more depth.
