Reiki I and II
Presented by: The Third Presence
If you spend your days caring for, supporting, or holding space for others, it’s easy to become so focused on the work that you lose touch with yourself and sometimes with what drew you to this work in the first place.
Reiki offers a practice that begins with you. Through Reiki I & II, you’ll learn a contemplative practice that supports your own well being, helps prevent burnout, and invites you to return to your True Self.
From that place, you can bring more presence and engagement to your work, stay connected to your personal mission, and continue showing up for others without losing yourself along the way.
The Third Presence is a way to learn Reiki in a way that is grounded, experiential, and designed to strengthen the work you already do.
You can register for Reiki I, II or both depending on where you are in your journey
JOIN THE WAITLIST ONCE TRAINING DATES ARE AVAILABLE.
Come experience Reiki as a practice for yourself and discover what becomes possible when you bring more of who you are into the work you do.
INTRODUCING
THE THIRD PRESENCE
Join me and my colleague, Liz Hides, this fall.
Healing does not occur through the practitioner alone, nor through the recipient alone. Something emerges in the space between them, which is a relational field shaped by presence, attention, trust, and the willingness to meet what is here.
We call this The Third Presence.
The Third Presence is not something you manufacture or control. It is what becomes possible when you are grounded enough to listen, open enough to receive, and clear enough not to impose.
This training will help you cultivate that quality of presence while learning the traditional foundations and practices of Reiki.
Level I: Shoden
Establish a personal Reiki practice and begin bringing greater grounding, awareness, and presence into your work.
Reiki level I is an experiential introduction to the Usui System of Reiki for mental health and healing allied professionals.
Rooted in the traditional teachings of Reiki and informed by contemporary understanding of the nervous system, this training develops the inner qualities that support ethical, effective, and sustainable practice.
Through Reiki practice, participants cultivate presence, self-awareness, ethical discernment, and relational attunement while learning the foundational skills of the Usui System.
Level II: Okuden
Deepen your Reiki practice and develop greater confidence using Reiki within helping relationships.
Reiki Level II is offered following the completion of the Level I training and 21-day integration period.
This level deepens your experience of Reiki and introduces additional practices that support focused intention, emotional and mental healing, and connection beyond immediate physical presence.
Reiki II will also explore how helping professionals can remain grounded, ethically aware, and relationally attuned when bringing Reiki-informed principles into their work.

THE 21-DAY INTEGRATION EXPERIENCE
Reiki is not mastered by collecting information. It becomes meaningful through practice.
The 21-day journey gives you time to work with Reiki in your own life before moving into more advanced teachings. You will be encouraged to practice consistently, observe without forcing an outcome, and become familiar with how Reiki feels and functions through your own direct experience.
This is one of the ways The Third Presence differs from accelerated Reiki trainings.
We are not simply preparing you to complete the next level. We are helping you build a practice you can trust.
