Question 1

Do I need any previous experience to attend?

Accepted Answer

No experience is needed. Reiki Level 1 is designed for complete beginners. You’ll be gently guided through everything you need to know.

Question 2

What will I be able to do after completing this course?

Accepted Answer

You’ll be attuned to Reiki energy and able to give treatments to yourself and others. Many people continue on to Level 2 if they wish to deepen their practice or work professionally, but Level 1 is a complete and valuable step on its own.

Question 3

Will I receive a certificate?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you’ll receive a First Degree Reiki (Level 1) certificate and a detailed Reiki manual to support your continued learning.

Question 4

How many people will be on the course?

Accepted Answer

We keep the group small—between 4 and 6 people—so you’ll receive individual attention and a relaxed, friendly atmosphere.

Question 5

What should I bring with me?

Accepted Answer

Just yourself and an open mind. We recommend wearing comfortable clothes. We’ll provide tea and light refreshments, but you may wish to bring your own lunch or snacks.

Question 6

Can I attend just one of the two days?

Accepted Answer

The training is designed as a full two-day experience, with each part building on the last. Attendance on both days is required to receive your certificate.

Question 7

What if something comes up and I can’t attend?

Accepted Answer

If you’re unable to make it, please get in touch as soon as possible. We’ll do our best to transfer you to a future course or arrange an alternative if appropriate (please see cancellation terms on the booking page).

Question 8

I’m quite sensitive and new to energy work — will this be too intense?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Reiki is gentle and intuitive. The course is taught in a calm, supportive setting, with space to go at your own pace. Many people who describe themselves as sensitive find they’re especially attuned to Reiki and benefit deeply from it.

Question 9

What if I feel nervous about receiving Reiki or attunements?

Accepted Answer

It’s completely normal to feel a little nervous when trying something new. You’ll be gently guided through the process, and nothing is forced. The attunements are peaceful and individual. You’re encouraged to ask questions, rest when needed, and honour your own experience throughout.

Question 10

Is this course suitable for people going through emotional or physical healing?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many people come to Reiki during a time of personal healing. This course offers you tools for self-care and self-awareness. If you’re experiencing something specific and want to talk beforehand, feel free to reach out.
