Reiki

Welcome to the greatest tool a healer can have

It’s a big claim, isn’t it? There is no “one true way” to do the work, and there are a million different modalities out there. But I have never found a system that is as powerful, simple and flexible as Reiki.

It is without a doubt the easiest and most effective beginning to the path of energy healing. It is so satisfying because it’s instant: everyone can feel the energy, can self heal and perform treatments on others – on day one!

What I love far more about Reiki than the glorious beginnings of everyone’s journeys is just how deep it can go. Reiki is a portal into your own personal healing on every level. It is a jumping off point for philosophical questioning and for steps onto a path of mysticism. And (counter, I think, to its mainstream reputation) it can be a path of demanding and serious study, where we develop practical, tangible skills and deep understanding of healing work as a discipline.

I use Reiki every day of my life. I teach in depth and well supported courses from beginner workshops right up to Reiki Master Teacher level. Since 2009 I have also been crafting shamanic courses for Reiki people, and in more recent years I have begun offering support and education in online spaces. This page is for my in-person Usui Reiki training – click the links to find out about my Shamanic Reiki courses and my online offerings.

A commitment to Reiki excellence

My Reiki courses are offered regularly throughout the year in Glastonbury, Somerset. The workshops themselves are intensive one day experiences (two for Reiki Master Teacher), with a maximum of four students so we can focus on practical work and personal experiences. Although these are intensive days, the courses begin with home study using comprehensive manuals, course worksheets and audio materials to support all learning styles. In this way we are able to focus on the practical work and personal experiences during the courses, while still covering more information and a higher standard of education than the average Reiki course.

I consider each workshop to be a beginning point for a new chapter on the Reiki journey, and offer regular ongoing support and opportunity for further study to all my students, and for those joining me from other lineages. I provide regular Reiki shares, online workshops and regular contact and resources for my students to use – as well as setting up weekly distance Reiju empowerments for any Reiki person to receive on a Wednesday.

I am here to help Reiki people walk their personal healing path while becoming skilful and wise along the way. I believe Reiki is a path of true mastery, and that is the approach I take with my students and with the wider Reiki community.


“Kay is a wonderful and knowledgeable teacher and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her. I felt that over the two working days I learnt so much more about my Reiki practice. I have a good understanding of how to continue developing my healing work… All in all, it has been an excellent experience and one that will stay with me as I reflect on what I have learnt. It exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend the course to others.”

In-person Reiki training

My in-person trainings are offered throughout the year in a private venue in Glastonbury, Somerset. Courses are kept to a maximum of 4 students to ensure in-depth personal experiences and a high standard of training. On some occasions where the scheduled classes are full or don’t work for you, particularly for pairs or small groups, I can arrange private classes during the week at no extra cost. For all classes a commitment to attendance and to completing the pre-course study is required, please note my terms and conditions before booking.
