Very well presented and in a very serene environment. One of the best CE courses I have experienced. Have been a massage therapist since 1988.

-- PS, Wilmington, NC

This course, experience and instructor not only allowed me to release and ground myself unlike anytime previously, but empowered and reassured me that my perceptions, intuition and degree of energy absorption is very relative and unique to each session and with each practitioner. Thank You!

Debra was an amazing teacher. She created such an open, healing, trusting environment. I would love to take another class from her. She is a very wise, intuitive and powerful healer. It was an honor to be in her class.

I am so excited to apply everything I learned this weekend to my massage practice and day to day life.

This experience is beyond words. Debra did a wonderful job explaining, opening space and allowing the atunement to open and reiki to work its magic.

Besides being a gifted teacher in presenting material and supporting learning—the quality of materials and thoughtfulness in their presentation as well as content is superior! Thank you!

This is my 2nd time taking Reiki II, but w/a new instructor and new place. Excellent experience! The course material was well presented. The manner of instruction was suitable to all learning types.

-- Ginger, Hillsborough, NC

I so appreciate all the modalities you brought in (music, art, sacred space, stones). Your presence, cadence, manner of communication, and honoring of your students’ ideas and experience is greatly appreciated and is a gift to your students. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your authenticity.

Continuing Education and Workshops

Reiki is a holistic system of healing that uses natural, universal life energy for the purpose of creating health, well-being and growth. In this three level system, the first level is primarily a hands-on technique.

The Reiki courses listed below are original in presentation and materials and provide a multisensory approach to enhance the learning experience. The groups that assemble are often a mix of therapists and interested others wanting to connect with this energy and learn to use it in support of self and others.

Early enrollment is the key to making sure that the class you are interested in stays available to you. Instructors have to decide whether to hold or cancel classes based on the number of people who have committed to participate.
