This is a deep, nine-month journey, and it starts with connection.
Before anything else, you’ll need to express your interest by email, and we’ll have a short call to explore whether this programme is the right fit for you. I’ll share more about what’s involved, answer any questions, and we’ll make sure the dates align before confirming your place.
All spaces are by application only, and the course is intentionally small and exclusive to protect the integrity of the work. If you're invited to join, here's how the process unfolds:
🌀 Reiki I (Start Point)
Your Reiki I teaching and attunement will take place online via Zoom on a pre-agreed date that works for everyone accepted into the cohort.
This session will include your first energetic activation, gentle guided practice, and time for integration.
You’ll receive a Reiki I certificate after completing this phase.
🌙 Three-Month Integration Period
There will be space to let Reiki settle in, with continued support via:
Monthly live online meetups
Energetics, mindfulness, and holistic tools introduced during this period
This is a chance to observe, reflect, and begin subtle shifts in your training work.
🔮 Reiki II (Midpoint)
The Reiki II attunement and training will also be held live via Zoom on a pre-agreed date.
It builds upon your Reiki I work and prepares you to offer Reiki to animals and clients more confidently.
Note: If you are unable to attend the set date, it may not be possible to rearrange. In that case, you would likely need to wait for the next cohort to complete this phase. I’ll always try to support, but flexibility is limited due to the depth of the group work.
🧾 Case Studies & Completion
After your Reiki II attunement, you’ll have a chance to attend the In-Person Practical Sessions (see below) and have until the end of the 9-month journey to submit:
- Three case studies, ideally from dogs you train regularly
- These may include a combination of Reiki work and holistic training principles
- You’ll receive personalised feedback, and if all requirements are met…
- You’ll be awarded with your Reiki II Certificate (after successful case study reviews).

- Practise offering Reiki with dogs present
