Why everyone should learn Reiki

Hello my friend,

In today’s fast-paced world, finding ways to support our own well-being - physically, emotionally, and spiritually - has never felt more important.

That’s one of the reasons I love Reiki so much. It’s gentle, powerful, and accessible to everyone - not just something to receive, but something you can actually learn and use for yourself and others.

Here’s why I believe everyone should learn Reiki (and what it’s brought to my life and the lives of so many of my students)...

1. You’ll learn how to support your own healing

If you didn't know, I LOVE a bit of DIY. Well, this is DIY in the best sense of the word - and one of the things I love most about Reiki.

Once you’ve learned it, you don’t have to wait for an appointment or for someone else to help you feel better - you can support your own energy and wellbeing anytime you like.

Whether it’s easing stress, lifting your mood, or simply grounding yourself when things feel a bit much, Reiki gives you a way to care for yourself gently and intentionally.

2. It helps you relax on a deep level

Reiki helps switch off the 'fight or flight' stress response and activate the parasympathetic nervous system, gently guiding you into a calmer, more peaceful state.

So many people tell me they feel lighter, clearer, more rested, and more emotionally balanced after even just one session. It can help with sleep, stress, anxiety, and just generally bringing you back to yourself.

And when you learn Reiki, you can access that sense of calm at any time.

3. It supports emotional healing, spiritual connection and intuitive growth

Reiki isn’t just about feeling relaxed (although that’s lovely too). It’s also a powerful tool for emotional release and inner clarity.

Over time, many people find that Reiki helps them connect more deeply to their intuition, their sense of purpose, and even their spiritual guides or higher self. It can bring through insights, shifts, and gentle ‘aha’ moments that ripple into everyday life.

It’s subtle - but transformational.

4. You can use it to support others

Once you’ve learned Reiki, you can offer it to others - family, friends, clients, pets (they love it!), even your plants. You can send it across time and space, infuse your food with it, or use it to clear the energy in your home.

I'm not sure if I ever mentioned it (😉), but you can use Reiki on absolutely anything!

With Level 2 Reiki, you can also offer Reiki from afar, which makes it a wonderful tool for long-distance support.

It’s such a beautiful way to be of service, and you don’t need to be a professional Reiki practitioner to make a difference.

5. It’s simple to learn - and it stays with you for life

You don’t need any experience, knowledge, or special skills to begin - Reiki meets you exactly where you are.

You’ll learn it over a couple of days, and once you’re attuned, that connection to Reiki is with you forever.

Whether you use it daily or just when you need it most, it’s a lifelong tool for well-being, connection, and support.

By the way - if you've studied Reiki in the past but need a refresh, I can help you with that. I also offer short refresher courses to reacquaint you with the basics and rebuild your confidence using Reiki. Whether it’s been a few months or a few years, it doesn't matter. Get in touch, I'd love to help.

Final thoughts…

Reiki has changed my life in so many ways - and I’ve seen it do the same for countless others.
It’s gentle, intuitive, and incredibly empowering.

If you’ve ever felt curious about Reiki — or felt that quiet nudge to explore energy healing more deeply - this is your sign. ✨

I run small, heart-led Reiki courses almost every month, as well as 1:1 tuition for those who prefer a more personalised learning space. Whether you're completely new to Reiki or looking to revisit your training, there’s a space for you.

All courses include:
✔ Guided practice
