Anyone interested in learning Reiki for the purpose of self-treatment or treatment of others. My students are mothers, fathers, teens, grandparents, individuals with chronic conditions or family caregivers. Some of my students want to include elements of Reiki in their profession such as social workers, counselors, massage therapists, doctors, nurses, to name a few. We are all everyday people like you and me!

There is no previous background nor skills required to learn Reiki. Anyone can learn Reiki. To date, my youngest student was 11 years old and my oldest student was 88 years old. Through the Reiki Attunement, the Reiki Master passes onto the student the ability for Reiki energy to flow from the student's hands. Therefore, the ability to practice Reiki is not dependent on the student's background nor skills. It is through class discussion and practice you learn various techniques and hand positions. I always tell my students, "It's not about you ... you are a pathway for the Reiki energy to flow ... the Reiki energy does the work."

You can use Reiki in your every day living! First of all, treat yourself for your own self-care and wellness. Treat your children/grandchildren that are having problems sleeping, low self-esteem, anxiety, fears or even a boo-boo. Treat other family members, friends, and even your pets. As little as 5 - 10 minutes of Reiki can be beneficial for a co-worker that is stressed or has a headache. I am sure you know of someone with anxiety, going through a relationship breakup, living with the loss of a loved one, has chronic conditions, recovering from surgery or undergoing cancer treatments that you could give a few minutes of Reiki to while they are sitting in a chair or laying on a couch. Reiki can be done any where and for any amount of time ... even while you are watching TV with your hand around your partner or child's shoulder or on their lap. We all show acts of kindness by sending a card, listening to a friend that is going through rough times, or cooking a meal for someone. Now you can add the beautiful gift of Reiki to your offering.

You can also send distant Reiki across town or across the world to a person. We all have family or friends that live far away from us ... you can help them too.

If you are a first responder or a medical provider, you can use Reiki for your self-care to avoid job burnout, cleanse negative energy out of a room after each patient, put healing energy into a room, and even carry on a conversation while Reiki energy is flowing to the person.

There are 3 levels of Reiki Certification (Refer to the full course descriptions on this web page.)

Reiki Level I Practitioners can give themselves Reiki treatments and treat others.

Reiki Level II Practitioners have extra tools they can use to amplify the energy that flows from their hands, send energy that helps heal emotions, and the ability to send Reiki energy distantly across town or across the world to a person. I call this the "creative class" because the three Reiki II symbols bring so much creativity to using Reiki in your daily living.

Reiki Level III Practitioners (Reiki Masters) receive the higher Master energies, work with crystals, and other higher frequency healing techniques. Reiki Level III Practitioners have the ability to pass Reiki onto students (teach Reiki). Someone could be a Reiki Master, but not teach. Becoming a Reiki Master Teacher is optional.

How far do you go with learning Reiki? You may take Reiki Level I & II Training and never go any further. As a Reiki II Practitioner, you will have amazing tools to help yourself and help others! Maybe months or years down the road you may feel guided to take Reiki Level III Training. You take Reiki as far as you are interested in; you do not have to have a path in mind ... let Reiki guide you!

Kirstie, Reiki II Practitioner

"Training with Cyndy was the best decision! She has such a passion for energy healing and she made the learning experience so meaningful. Her years of experience and personal stories make the learning relatable. The course is organized, easy to follow, and full of useful information beyond the basic tools that are needed to be a Reiki Practitioner. You will leave feeling transformed and ready to use your gift."

Tracey, Reiki II Practitioner

"My learning experience was perfectly suited to the intuitive way I like to work. I really enjoyed learning the Reiki II symbols and practicing distant Reiki. Cyndy, you are so devoted and excited about the practice of Reiki. This was a wonderful transformative experience. It has been strengthening and healing on many levels. After receiving my Reiki attunements and training, I didn't waste a moment incorporating Reiki into my everyday life. I began by treating myself daily and started in the following week by giving Reiki to friends and family. I was pleasantly surprised at the overwhelmingly positive response and interest people have expressed toward receiving Reiki. A few weeks after training, I decided to offer Reiki treatments on a volunteer basis to a local wellness program, and it has been met with great enthusiasm and interest."

Stacey, Reiki II Practitioner

I was in a car accident four years ago and was harboring all those traumatic feelings boiled deep inside of me. In my Reiki session, Cyndy had me identify all of the emotions attached. I was balling, but felt safe and comforted. She was able to help me to let go of it all. All of the emotions attached to my car accident are gone. Now when I look back and think about my accident, I feel nothing. There is no trauma left there. It is truly amazing! So if you or a loved one have ever suffered from emotional or physical trauma, PTSD, I highly recommend going to Cyndy. It was truly life-changing and I will forever be grateful.

After experiencing this Reiki session, I knew I wanted to learn how to do Reiki so that I could also help others. So I signed up for her Reiki Training Level I & II class. It was such a wonderful experience. Cyndy is so passionate about Reiki and explained things in a way so that it’s easy to understand and takes time to answer any questions you may have. We got to practice our skills in class. It is so amazing feeling that energy coming through you. I feel so lucky to be able to channel the universal energy and to be able to help others. This experience has opened up a whole new world for me, and I’m ready to take it on with my magic hands ;)

Maria, Reiki Master

"I enjoyed my journey on my path to becoming a Reiki Master. Cyndy has the passion and the patience and knowledge of breaking Reiki down into comprehensible steps for learning the building blocks to essentially get us from point A to point Z with grace."

Gregory, Attorney, Reiki II Practitioner

"Cyndy really opened up a new area of practice and possibility to me. She is professional, knowledgeable, and so willing to share her energy and practice. I am so thankful I have had the opportunity to train with her."

Gabrielle, Reiki II Practitioner

"Cyndy is a phenomenal teacher. Her thorough style really makes you feel as if you're ready to give Reiki to everyone!"

Laurie, Registered Nurse, Reiki II Practitioner

"Reiki Level I & Level II are both awesome classes to give yourself an opportunity to use life force energy as a healing tool. Together with your client, a whole new world of healing can take place. Cyndy Paxton is an excellent Reiki Master Teacher. You will not be disappointed if you take these classes."

Karen, Family Therapist, Reiki II Practitioner

"I feel I learned a lot from this course and was surprised at how much of the energy I could sense. The environment was informative and nurturing of learning the skills and sharing."

Barbara, Reiki II Practitioner

"It has been only one week after my Reiki I & II Training and the Reiki I am giving my family is going great! My older son (age 17) struggles with anxiety and sleeplessness at times. I did some Reiki on him one night before bed and he said he felt great and slept well. A few days ago I did some Reiki on my younger son (age 15). He was skeptical, but let me do it anyway. He told me while I had my hands by his head and forehead, he felt a pulling and pushing on his head even though I wasn't touching him. Thanks again SO much! You are an amazing facilitator. I definitely had a healing while in class and it has made a positive change in my life already. You're REALLY great at what you do!"

Khadijah, LMSW, Reiki II Practitioner

"I gave my 7 year old daughter a 15 minute Reiki treatment after taking Cyndy's Level I class. I asked, 'What was that like for you?' My daughter replied, 'Mommy, it felt like you were God.' Well of course I am not God, but this was her interpretation of the energy flowing through her body. What a great experience Reiki was for the both of us. Reiki has helped me to sleep better at night giving me more energy throughout the day. The Reiki energy is also a gift in which I can use to bring healing, light, and positive energy into the lives of my loved ones and my clients. I am looking forward to my upcoming Level II class."

Shari, Reiki II Practitioner

"I went to visit a friend in the hospital to say goodbye. He was on a respirator and the doctors thought he couldn't fight the infection any longer because the antibiotics were no longer working and there was nothing else that could be done for him. He was terminal. When I got there, I touched his hand and realized he had a high fever. I had just completed my Reiki I & II classes so I performed Reiki without even thinking about it. He was tied to the bed because he had been pulling on the tubes. I could only reach one hand so I held his hand and laid my other hand on top of the same hand. I gave him Reiki for about 5 minutes because we were interrupted by a family member. His family member and I chatted for a short time, but before I left I realized his fever broke. He also woke up before I left and was more alert than he had been when his family had visited him during the past week. I went to visit him 4 or 5 days later and his room was empty. After asking around, I was told he had unexpectedly recovered and had been moved to another floor. When I got there, I was told they were planning his discharge. He recovered after that and is still alive!"

Sally, Reiki Master

"I originally wanted to learn Reiki because my oldest daughter, who is now 19, has suffered from Fibromyalgia and its many effects since she was 9 years old. I hoped that Reiki could be a way to help her feel better without the use of medicines that were not working anyway. Reiki has become much more than just that for me. I decided to take Reiki I & II Training and see what it was all about. Cyndy is a wonderful teacher and I met some wonderful new friends through our class. I began doing Reiki for the family with some great results. I decided to take the other classes to become a Reiki Master. I have helped my daughter with headaches she had been having and also helped her friend with some post pregnancy issues. (Ones I did not know about until after the session when I told her what I felt as I was giving her Reiki.) She was amazed and said the next day she felt much better. Last year on my youngest daughter's 11th birthday, she became a Reiki I Practitioner. She loves animals and loves Reiki so her father and I gave her a surprise birthday gift and took her to see Cyndy. We are so proud of her love of animals and wanting to help them, as well as, help with relieving some of her sister's pain. Reiki has been a true blessing. My son recently got married and I performed a beautiful Reiki Blessing Ceremony as part of their wedding ceremony. It was a wonderful time and I believe they will truly be blessed. Thank you Cyndy!!!"

Monica, Hospital Social Worker, Reiki II Practitioner

"As a Hospital Social Worker in the intensive care unit, I am often present when a patient is removed from artificial life-sustaining supports, takes their final breath, and passes on. I am there to support the patient, to support the family, to support the staff members who have been tenderly providing care, to support the doctors who have been struggling to save that very patient's life. To be present during these moments, hours, days, is both an honor and a challenge; the dying process can be a difficult struggle - physically, emotionally - for both the patient and their loved ones. A year and a half ago I chose to follow the path of a Reiki Level II Practitioner. To bring Reiki into my life was all-encompassing; it was natural to integrate Reiki into my professional role as a Social Worker, especially when supporting a patient and family through the dying process. Since I have begun sharing Reiki throughout my role in the hospital, I have noticed a lower level of fear and anxiety, and a greater level of calm, in many of my patients and their families. In particular, when supporting patients and families at end-of-life, I have noticed a wonderful sense of increased peacefulness, healing, and acceptance. The dying process seems to be less of a struggle, their loved ones more often share that they feel accepting and at peace, and the ICU care team seems to be more comfortable with the shift in their role from aggressive treatment to comfort measures and support. To be present at the end of someone's life is a gift; I am continually humbled by the opportunity to share the healing and peace of Reiki with patients and families in those final moments together."

Wendy, Reiki II Practitioner

"I'm very happy I took this Reiki program. It gave me the tools to help heal others. Now I can help people that are in domestic violence situations and also help survivors of domestic violence. Cyndy is very knowledgeable, great personality, patient, and professional."
