  • Reiki Master Training

    Chera Rocks Beach House , India

    The Reiki Master training is a beautiful gift, it consists of living reiki, being reiki and sharing reiki. Traditionally the Usui Shiki Ryoho Master Training system was taught as a year-long apprenticeship, but with our busy lives and schedules, this has become challenging to manage. This is why I offer the Reiki Master training in two parts, with lifetime post course support.
