Learn How to Heal Yourself... Reiki Courses in London
I honour the spiritual lineage of Mikao Usui and trained in a
traditional way. I teach small intimate classes or one-on-one sessions tailored just for you. My teaching style is fun, magical and often transformative...
You're in good hands...
I’ve been teaching Reiki since 2000 and have been fortunate to learn and practice in both Japan and the UK with some inspirational Reiki Masters and Reiki Teachers.
I teach The Five Reiki Pillars which honour the traditional way of Mikao Usui’s Reiki teachings. They consist of developing spiritual and mental focus through the following:
-
The Reiki Principles
-
Hands on Healing
-
Meditations and Techniques
-
Reiki Symbols and Mantras
-
Reiji and Attunements or Initiations
Training is taught in 3 levels *see below* with UK classes in London. It's necessary to leave some space between each level to help integrate and get to know the energy. I usually recommend at least 1-2 months in between each level.
I also offer Reiki Refresher and Practice days. It's like a spa day for your soul.

Reiki Masters &
Reiki Teacher Training London
The Reiki Master & Master Teacher levels are usually taught on a one-to-one basis and traditionally are considered an apprenticeship. Therefore, the length of time it takes to complete is variable and we agree this together.
It usually takes up to 10 sessions (20 hours) to become a Reiki Master and about 15 sessions (30 hours) if you want to become a Reiki Teacher. This would be an average of 2 hours per session in person in SW London. There will also be homework set for deeper spiritual growth in between our one-to-one sessions.
I create and hold a deep space for you to help you find any resistance that's holding you back in your life. Together, we'll shine a light so brightly on that darkness that it comes out of the shadow and into the healing light.
The sessions include:
-
Guided Meditations
-
Energy Healings
-
Sharing Circle
-
The Reiki Master Symbols
-
Setting Space with NAMW
-
Heart Healing Attunement
-
Meditation Techniques
-
Holding Space for Groups
-
Learning Tools for Students
Plus much more…
The Master training also includes Regular Reiki Attunements to further open the energy centre and attune the Master symbols, a Manual and a Certified
Certificate.
You may become a Reiki Master without becoming a Reiki Teacher. Becoming a Reiki Master is a deeply magical and profoundly beautiful journey.
The easiest way to move forward is to contact me, we can then book in a cuppa and have a chat to discuss how this will work for you. I’m based in SW London and the training will be in person.

" I just completed my Reiki 1 with Emma this year and it exceeded all my expectations. I couldn't think of a better teacher and lovelier person I'd rather have learnt from. The course was held in the most beautiful garden studio which created the most calming and zen space for the weekend "
" I loved the small class size, it gave us all the opportunity to connect with one another. Emma provided a harmonious, safe sanctuary and wonderful learning environment. I've already signed up for my Level 2 and can't wait! Emma is a gorgeous teacher! "

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Reiki Master Training?
Reiki Master Training is the Third Level to learning Reiki, and is taught in two parts. The first part of becoming a Reiki Master is learning the Reiki Master Symbols, advanced healing techniques and further meditations adding value to your healing abilities. The second part is focused on learning how to teach Reiki to others by learning the Reiki attunement and ceremony process. This allows you to initiate students and teach Reiki yourself. You don’t have to become a Reiki Teacher to become a Reiki Master. Both parts of the Reiki Master training are traditionally considered an apprenticeship and is taught on a one-to-one basis over a period of time to allow you to absorb and process all the teachings, spiritual ceremonies and new healing techniques.
How do I become a certified Reiki Master?
To become a certified Reiki Master, you must first complete your Reiki Level 1 and Reiki Level 2 training. It’s important to let some time pass before starting your Reiki training, this is usually a minimum of three months. Only a Reiki Master Teacher like myself can initiate others to become a Reiki Master, as Reiki Master Teachers have received all of the master attunements, symbols, ceremonies and teaching techniques allowing them to teach and pass Reiki on to others.
How to become an Usui Reiki Master?
To become an Usui Reiki Master, you must receive the Reiki Master Symbol and be attuned by an Usui Reiki Master Teacher like myself who has been initiated into the Usui Reiki lineage system. I honour the spiritual lineage and Reiki Principles of Mikao Usui and have been trained in a traditional way.
Can you learn to be a Reiki Master online?
Learning to become a Reiki Master online is possible as energy transmits time and space, however, it is not advised. The traditional Usui Mikao way to learn and become a Reiki Master is in person and on a one-to-one basis. This way, you can experience the universal life force energy directly from your Reiki Master’s hands in person. This is especially wonderful when it comes to your final Reiki attunement ceremony and receiving the Reiki Master symbol.
Is a Reiki Master also a Healer?
A Reiki Master is also a healer. They have been working with the Reiki Energy / Chi / Ki, for a greater amount of time and have learned how to integrate all the Reiki Symbols and teachings into their healing practice to work with their clients. This deepens and intensifies the energy and chi connection, allowing for a deeper physical and emotional healing for the other person. Reiki energy uses gentle hand movements with the intention to guide the flow of healthy energy through the client's body to reduce stress and promote emotional and physical healing. This is known in Reiki as universal life force energy or Chi /Ki.
How long does it take to train for Reiki?
It can take a variable amount of time to train for Reiki. It’s learned in 3 stages.
The 3 different Reiki levels are:
Reiki Level 1: The ability to heal ones’ self
Reiki Level 2: The ability to heal ones’ self and others – Reiki practitioner level
Reiki Level 3: The ability to heal ones’ self, others, and to teach the technique to students(Level 3 is split into 2 parts: Reiki Master and Reiki Master Teacher)
Level 1 and 2 are usually taught over 2 days on a weekend (about 12 hours each level)
The Reiki Master Level or Level 3 will usually take up to 15 weeks (about 30 hours)
It’s encouraged to leave some space in between each level, usually about 3 months to allow time for practice and for the Reiki energy to integrate and deepen.
What are the Five Pillars of Reiki?
The Five Reiki Pillars honour the traditional way of Mikao Usui’s teachings. The Reiki code of practice is an instruction to help one live a more fulfilled life. They consist of developing spiritual and mental focus through the following:
The Reiki Principles
Hands on Healing
Meditations and Reiki Techniques
Reiki Symbols and Mantras
Reiju (spiritual blessing) and Initiations or Attunements
*Please see my blog on the 5 Reiki Pillars for a more detailed description
The Reiki Principles
Just for today I will let go of anger
Just for today I will let go of fear
Just for today I will live in the attitude of gratitude
Just for today I will do my work honestly
Just for today I will show love and respect for every living thing
How does Reiki manifest goals?
Reiki can manifest goals beautifully as it is a combination of living your life with positive thoughts, spiritual teachings and a loving practice. This allows for action and change. Reiki allows you to live your life in gratitude and abundance rather than living in lack. This allows you to manifest the things you desire in your life, like loving relationships, a satisfying career and good health. Or as I like to say “Focus on the Magic not the Tragic”. Thoughts have power, so focusing on what you already have with grace, and what you desire in a positive way encourages more of what you actually want.
What are the initial changes (first 21 days) after Reiki initiation?
What are the initial changes (first 21 days) after Reiki initiation?
The initial changes after Reiki initiation can vary for each student. For 21 days after your attunement, your body, mind and spirit goes through a cleanse or detox. It takes 3 days to go through each of the 7 major chakras, hence the 21 days. To assist you in becoming aware of the changes that you’re going through, I suggest that you record any physical changes, emotions or dreams that occur within this time in a diary. It is also recommended that you record self-treatments and treatments on others.
One of the first things Reiki does is to detoxify the physical, mental and emotional body.Some common symptoms experienced are:
Disruption of the skin
Stomach upsets
Headaches or fogginess
Emotional releases & outbursts
Laughing and feeling fantastic
Vivid dreams & thoughts
Positive changes in your life
Allow yourself to go through this process with love and compassion. Remember to drink lots of water to facilitate this cleanse. And self-treatment daily is highly recommended throughout this 21-day period.
Where can I find qualified Reiki practitioners?
You can find qualified Reiki practitioners easily these days by visiting personal websites, at a Natural Health Centre or clinic, or on Complementary health websites and Reiki Associations. Just make sure they are fully insured like I am.
