*Level 1&2 can also be taken separately on the same weekend

Honestly, the whole purpose of taking a Reiki class is to make your life easier and more joyful. Seriously, that’s it. It allows for space to see how you are interacting with the world around you and how even the tiniest shifts can COMPLETELY change your experience.
Reiki is the stillness we are all looking for and it just makes it easier to do the things we KNOW will help soothe our anxiety, but sometimes just aren’t able to do because everything is moving so freaking quickly.

Our classes are taught a little bit differently because there are two teachers. All classes are taught by Karen and Fred OR by a teacher who has been trained by them in their particular style.

Fred Morel - Fred has been studying Reiki for thirteen years and her original training was done by a Martial Arts instructor and Manual Osteopath who put practice before anything else. She has since studied with many teachers, including Frans Stiene. Suffice to say, Fred's jam is Japanese Reiki. Her knowledge of the system is profound and she keeps learning and practicing Reiki for her self development every day to bring more laughter into her life.

Karen McCullough - Karen has been practicing Reiki for 22 years. In addition to studying Reiki, she took the three year Integrative Energy Healing program offered by Langara College. She works with a variety of energetic systems including the meridian system, the chakra system, and, of course, the physiological body. First and foremost, she believes that the purpose of energy healing is to empower the recipient and support them in leading joyful lives.

Fred and Karen have married their two perspectives to create a truly unique experience. They also want to be very clear about what actually comes from the traditional Reiki system and what has been added over the years through interpretation.

The word Reiki is Japanese – directly translated, it means “spiritual energy”. It can be compared to the words prana (Sanskrit) and chi (Chinese). Basically, Reiki is the energy that animates the universe. It is benevolent and expansive and it is within each one of us.
Honestly, it is not possible to teach “Reiki”, the energy, per se, rather we learn the System of Reiki, and, the system of Reiki contains the power to transform your life. When we practice Reiki, we strip away the layers and layers of muck that are concealing our true brilliance and purpose. This muck may manifest in feelings of unworthiness, anxiety, hopelessness, sadness or in physical symptoms like headaches, muscle pain, stomach troubles…the list goes on. The reality is that we are being hidden and not living the lives we had always dreamed.
Anybody can practice Reiki - absolutely anybody.
This is not a system for those with a “gift”.
We are all gifted.
We are all Reiki.
