So, what’s it like to actually be a Reiki practitioner?

>> IT’S EMPOWERING << because in order to access and harness this energy, you not only have to really trust the Universe, you also have to deeply trust yourself. When you are placing your hands onto another person’s energy—the essence of their soul—and healing it…THAT’S some effin’ POWER.

>> IT’S FUN << to help people who come to you in pain find their most happy, most relaxed, most rejuvenated selves! What could be more fun than helping people?! NOTHING! Except for when you get to give Reiki to animals. That’s SO PAWesome…I’ll see myself out.

>> IT’S HELPFUL << to have a skill like this! Think about all your loved ones who suffer from occasional illness, or anxiety, or even just plain old stress! Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to actually do something to help? Plus your services make a great gift for birthdays, weddings, and bridal showers. I’m not kidding. You’ll never have to buy from a registry again. Take that, Amazon!

>> IT’S MAGICAL << Every single time I give someone Reiki something magical happens! Once, I helped a client Astral Project to meet her ancestors in the middle of a Reiki session—it was WILD! And that’s not even the most magical thing that’s ever happened…

>> IT’S CONNECTING << when you’re a conduit, harnessing the quantum energy of the Universe that flows through everything and everyone in existence, you can’t help but understand the nature of ONENESS in a way that is so much more than esoteric: it’s real. Get ready to never feel lonely again!

>> IT’S SELF-HEALING << the journey to becoming a Reiki practitioner requires a great deal of physical, emotional, mental, and Spiritual healing, and once you’ve reached THE PEAK, it’s not over! You’re allowing huge amounts of Universal Life Force to flow through you on an almost constant basis, so we’re talking the self-healing powers of, like, Edward from Twilight (SUPER fast regeneration).

How much is the program?

THE DEPTHS is a financial investment of $555 and a time investment of approximately 30 minutes per day for 5 months. There is also an optional investment of 30-60 minutes per week if you choose to come to the practicum calls and group Reiki sessions.

THE CLIMB is a financial investment of $5,555 and a time investment of approximately 3-5 hours per week for 5 months.

THE PEAK is a financial investment of $2,222-$3,333 (depending on whether or not you decide to opt into the 13th month), and a time investment of approximately 5 hours per week for 3 months.

Can I just sign up for each part of the program individually or do I have to commit to them all now?

You can join each part of the program individually, or you can commit to the entire ASCENSION 101 program all at once.

Either way, you will not be eligible to begin the next section until you’ve completed the proceeding one.

For example, if you only signed up for THE DEPTHS first…

After you complete THE DEPTHS, you can reach out to me to apply to make THE CLIMB. We will have a Clarity + Connection Call to determine if you are a good fit to continue into Reiki training, and then you can pay for and join THE CLIMB.

You may also choose to join both THE CLIMB and THE PEAK at one time, but you will still not be able to ascend to THE PEAK until you have completed THE CLIMB.

Do you have payment plans?

Of course! You can pay monthly, or all up front. If you need to discuss an extended payment plan, please let me know in your application and I’ll reach out to you to go over available options with you.

What happens after I apply?

If you’re interested in a program including THE DEPTHS or THE CLIMB, I will reach out to you to schedule a Clarity + Connection Call. Think of it like a “vibe check”, where we can get to know each other, you can ask me anything you want about the program, and we can make the decision as a team on the most aligned way to work together on your healing!

If you are only interested in THE DEPTHS at this time, then you will receive an email from me regarding your application status and payment options before the beginning of the next round.

What if I can’t do weekly Reiki in THE CLIMB and THE PEAK, or make the weekly practicum in THE DEPTHS? What if I have to miss a week?

I understand that things come up, our schedules get hectic, sometimes we get sick, have family things come up, or have a vacation planned. I don’t want those things to stand in the way of you saying YES to your Hero’s Journey.

We can take weeks off within the THE CLIMB or THE PEAK for any reason you need, and we’ll just consider that an “integration week”. That said, these sessions will not be rolled over to the end of the program, so weeks you don’t use Reiki will not be made up.

Practicum sessions during THE DEPTHS are optional for those students who need a bit more hands-on integration, so you are not required to attend them. Replays of those calls will be available for everyone in case you were interested in attending but it didn’t fit with your schedule.

Do I have to meditate every day?

You are going to get out of this program what you put in. I encourage all participants to meditate daily, especially using the meditations I have designed and recorded specifically for this program. The amount of time you spend meditating, however, is entirely up to you!

Can I join THE DEPTHS and get a refund if it’s not a fit?

Refunds for this part of the program are not available, as it is all self-study and you will have access to the materials for life.

Can I join THE CLIMB/THE PEAK and get a refund if it’s not a fit?

Rapport between us as Master and Student is going to be SO important to help you do your best work and achieve your goals. If for any reason you feel like we aren’t meshing or the program isn’t working for you, you can change your mind up to 2 weeks into the program and still receive a full refund (minus $555.50 for the time already spent in the program). 

I know that THE DEPTHS is all online, but can I do THE CLIMB/THE PEAK from a distance, or do I need to be in person to be attuned to Reiki?

This entire program is designed to be done from anywhere in the world, so no, you don’t have to be here in person with me. That said, if you’re ever stopping through my area and you’d like to have one of your weekly Reiki sessions or your attunements be in-person, reach out and let’s make it happen!

What happens in the 3 Levels of Reiki? What can I do with those certifications and what does the practicum entail?

In Reiki 1, I’ll teach you to utilize intention and the Usui power symbol to “turn on the tap” of energy into your hands. You’ll spend a month after your attunement practicing Reiki on yourself, animals, and plants.

In Reiki 2, I’ll teach you to utilize Reiki over distances, so many Reiki practitioners choose to start their Reiki Practice after Reiki 2. You’ll spend 2 months after your attunement practicing Reiki on people for free, both in person and via distance. In order to pass your practicum and receive your Reiki 2 certification, you’ll need to give 3-5 hours of free Reiki sessions per week (preferably distance sessions) during your practicum.

In Reiki 3, I’ll teach you to utilize Reiki to a more powerful degree, and to teach and attune other people to become Reiki practitioners, making you a Reiki Master Teacher! You’ll spend 2 months after your attunement practicing Reiki on everyone and everything, both in person and via distance. In order to pass your practicum and receive your Reiki Master certification, you’ll need to give a minimum of 5 hours of free Reiki sessions per week.
