REIKI I TRAINING

Who This Training Is For

This training is for women, mothers, healers, seekers, and anyone feeling called to deepen their relationship with healing, intuition, and spiritual practice.

You do not need any prior experience with Reiki (though if we have never worked together, I do ask that you book a session with me first to make sure we are a good fit!) energy work, or meditation. Simply come with curiosity, openness, and a willingness to listen deeply to yourself.

What is Reiki?

Reiki is both a hands-on healing modality and a spiritual path for self-awareness, balance, and compassionate living.

Whether or not you choose to continue on to further Reiki training, Reiki I offers practical tools for grounding, self-healing, nervous system regulation, spiritual connection, and living with greater presence and intention.

Through teachings, ceremony, practice, and attunement, you'll learn how to work with Reiki energy for your own healing and your loved ones while deepening your connection to your inner wisdom.

What You'll Learn

Your Reiki I training includes a comprehensive manual and instruction in:

Foundations of Reiki

• Reiki 101

• Reiki lineage and history

• The Reiki precepts (Gokai)

• The pillars of Reiki practice

Grounding & Earth Reverence

• Why grounding matters

• Practical grounding techniques

• Building a relationship with the Earth as a source of healing and support

Reiki Practice

• Hand placements for self-healing

• Hand placements for offering Reiki to others

• Working both on and above the body

• Your body as a channel for healing energy

Spiritual Connection

• Working with intuition

• Welcoming supportive energies such as guides, ancestors, and angels

• Developing trust in your own inner knowing

Training + Attunement Ceremony

Reiki I is more than a training - it’s a joyful ceremony!

During the weekend, each participant receives four traditional Reiki attunements (Reiju), spiritual blessings that help open and strengthen your connection to Reiki energy.

Although the training takes place in a group setting, each attunement is offered individually, and is such a juicy part of the experience.

These attunements mark the beginning of your personal Reiki journey and help prepare your body, mind, and spirit to channel healing energy.

By the end of the weekend, you will:

• Understand the foundations, history, and philosophy of Reiki

• Be able to practice hands-on Reiki for self-healing & for others

• Have experience sharing Reiki with classmates in a supervised setting

• Receive tools to support your spiritual growth and daily practice

• Begin a 21-day integration process to deepen your relationship with Reiki

What to Expect Afterwards

The process continues long after the weekend ends.

Following your training, you'll be invited into a 21-day self-healing practice to help integrate the attunement and deepen your connection with Reiki.

You'll also receive:

• Access to a private Signal group for questions and support

• Community connection during your integration period

• A closing Zoom call after the 21 days

Each training is unique, and I do my best to support participants according to their individual needs and experiences.

If you choose to continue your Reiki training, after level II you can work as a paid practitioner and level III as a reiki master teacher.

About Valerie

I first learned Reiki over ten years ago from Fran and Nadine Dassier in Minneapolis, Minnesota while simultaneously completing a 300-hour Yoga Teacher Training.

My teaching style is rooted in Earth reverence, embodiment, and grounded spirituality. I believe spiritual practices should help us become more present and compassionate in our day-to-day lives as partners, parents, leaders, and community members — not

My intention is to offer a solid foundation and history of traditional Reiki and also support you in building a relationship with Reiki as a living practice, guided by your intuition. This practice can help you feel more grounded in your body, more connected to the Earth, more trusting of your intuition, and more present in your relationships and daily life.

Preparing for Your Attunement

You may notice emotions, dreams, memories, or insights arising before the training. This is all normal — we often begin the experience before we meet in person.

An attunement can be thought of as a recalibration, helping your system hold and channel more healing energy. There is no "right" way to prepare. Listen to your body and honor what feels aligned for you.

If you feel called, you may begin preparing several weeks before the training. Others may simply make small adjustments in the day or two beforehand. 

Consider Minimizing

For 24–48 hours before your training (or longer if desired):

• Alcohol and intoxicants

• Recreational plant medicines

• Processed foods

• Excess sugar, dairy, caffeine, and heavy foods

• Excessive screen time

• Drama, gossip, and unnecessary stress

• Sexual activity (if this feels supportive to you)

Consider Increasing

• Whole, nourishing foods

• Hydration through water and herbal teas

• Time in nature

• Rest and spaciousness

• Gentle movement such as walking, yoga, or qigong

• Quiet reflection, meditation, or prayer

What to Bring

• Water bottle

• Journal and pen

• Comfortable clothing that allows you to relax and move easily

• Any adornments that help you feel beautiful and connected - flowers, jewelry, shawls, etc.

• A small offering for the land (flowers, food, milk, prayer, song, gratitude, etc)
