A Professional Training Program for Certified Reiki Practitioners

The next course starts January 21, 2024

The Certified Reiki Practitioner Training Program is for second degree Reiki students and Reiki Masters who feel a deep calling to expand their relationship with Reiki and build a professional Reiki practice. Serious candidates must have a regular self-treatment Reiki practice, be willing to participate in NYC Reiki Center events during the six-month training, and have a commitment to making Reiki their profession.

This six-month course is a hands-on training that integrates the system of Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki with practical in-depth clinical training from the John Harvey Gray lineage. Graduates of the program will be prepared for professional private practice, be well-trained to work with the NYC Reiki Center team if they wish to, and become eligible to apply for Reiki Master training. Hours accrued during this program will be deducted from the 2,000 hour requirement of the Reiki Master training.

The Certified Reiki Practitioner Training Program is a program accredited by Reiki Centers of America, a non-profit organization that preserves the original teachings of Reiki, including those of Reiki Master John Harvey Gray received from Hawayo Takata in the 1970s Its goal is to train and support new and aspiring Reiki professionals in building successful private practices and healthy Reiki communities across North America.
