Reiki Energy Healing Classes
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a powerful yet gentle form of energy healing that promotes deep relaxation, balance, and emotional well-being.
Rooted in ancient Japanese practices, Reiki involves channeling universal life force energy through the mind, heart, and hands to activate the body’s natural healing processes. Whether you’re looking to reduce stress, heal emotionally, or deepen your spiritual connection, Reiki offers a holistic path to well-being.
Rei = “universal,” “spiritual,” or “sacred”
Ki = “energy” or “life force energy”
Reiki = energy from sacred, spiritual Source
Benefits of Reiki
Reiki supports healing on multiple levels—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Some of the many benefits include:
Reduced stress and anxiety
Enhanced emotional balance and clarity
Greater spiritual awareness and connection
Support for personal growth and transformation
Whether you are new to energy healing or looking to expand your spiritual practice, Reiki is a versatile tool for self-care and transformation.

My Reiki Journey and Teaching Experience
My Reiki journey began in 2015 through the Des Moines Public Schools (DMPS) Community Education program, where I discovered the transformative power of Reiki. Under the guidance of my teacher Kathleen McLean, I completed Reiki Levels I, II, and III, and it was through this experience that I truly understood how Reiki could not only heal but also lead to profound spiritual growth.
Since 2017, I’ve been teaching Reiki privately through my business, Soul Bright Visionary, blending my deep spiritual insights with a nurturing, compassionate approach to healing. I am now thrilled to bring Reiki training back to where it all began—through DMPS’s Community Education program—so others can experience the powerful healing and spiritual transformation Reiki offers.
As a Reiki Master Teacher, I have helped students learn to harness their own healing power, find inner peace, and shine their light into the world. My teaching philosophy centers around personal empowerment, intuitive guidance, building community, and creating a space where each student feels supported and inspired to grow.
Why Choose Me for Reiki Training?
My Reiki classes are about more than just learning a healing technique—they’re about personal and spiritual transformation. Here’s why you’ll love learning Reiki with me:
- Personalized Attention: I provide individualized support to help each student connect with Reiki on a deep and personal level.
- Holistic Approach: Reiki is taught not only as an energy healing practice but also as a spiritual journey, helping you align with your inner light and unique gifts.
- Easy-going and Supportive Personality: While I am spiritually-minded, I also am easy-going, supportive, casual, and relatable.
- Balanced Class Structure: I lead classes with an organized structure (agendas, handouts, and timeliness) while also fully supporting discussion, sharing, questions, flexibility, and experimenting. We have a great mix of instruction and hands-on practice and exercises.
- Safe Space to Explore: We will share, learn, and grow together. We will have some quiet times, some “whoa, that’s weird” times, and we will have some laughs! Classes will be very casual and laid back, while also honoring the practice by being sure we are mindful and intentional in coming from a space of Love.
- Vibrant Community: When you join one of my Reiki classes, you become part of an inspiring group of spiritually open-minded individuals exploring their paths together.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is Reiki energy healing?
Reiki is a form of energy healing where the practitioner channels life force energy into the recipient to promote balance and healing.
Reiki may involve placing hands on the body, or just above the body, but it does not manipulate tissue or muscles like in massage. Reiki can also be done from any distance.
Do I need any prior experience to take Reiki I?
No prior experience is necessary! Reiki I is designed for beginners and provides a strong foundation for future levels.
Can I use Reiki on others after completing Reiki I?
Yes! After Reiki I, you’ll have the skills to perform hands-on Reiki healing for yourself and others. Reiki II deepens this practice with distance healing techniques.
What can I expect from a Reiki attunement?
At the first session of each Level, you will receive an Attunement. We will talk more about what an Attunement is and what it does, but put simply, this is an energetic “initiation” that opens your “door” to begin receiving Reiki healing and serving as a channel for it. Please avoid alcohol for 3 days prior to the session and drink a lot of fruits and vegetables to help this clearing process. You can read more information about attunements and their effects here: https://reikirays.com/26825/attunements-and-how-to-prepare-for-them/
Is Reiki a religious practice?
No, Reiki is not a religion and fits within and outside of all religions. The translation for “Reiki” is “Universal life force energy” or “Divine life force energy,” so we do talk about spirituality hand-in-hand with Reiki. I have a set of vocabulary that I use, and you are able to use your own vocabulary that makes sense for you to experience and practice Reiki. I have an expectation that each student (Reiki practitioner) stay in the energy of Love and acceptance for the spiritual beliefs and experiences of all.
