Hey There
Led by Reiki Master Teacher Tamisha J. Ponder, our certification program upholds the Usui System of Reiki as a deeply intuitive tradition encouraging self-healing, self-discovery, and space holding. Our approach is rooted in education and community.
Usui Reiki Certification Program
Reiki (pronounced RAY-KEY) translates in Japanese to mean “Universal Life Energy.” It is an ancient healing technique, for use on self, others, animals, plants, and the Earth. Reiki has been used for centuries to achieve balance in the mind, body, and spirit and treat physical and emotional imbalances.
The Usui System of Reiki (Usui Shiki Ryoho) was founded in the late 19th century by Dr. Mikao Usui. Usui Reiki has three levels, each with attunements (meaning your energy is raised to the higher frequency of Reiki energy). Reiki energy can only be channeled by people who have been attuned or initiated by a certified Reiki Master Teacher.
Are you interested in learning this ancient healing practice? Take a look at our courses, and join our next Reiki training session.
