Reiki I: Your First Step on the Reiki Path

Reiki I: Your First Step on the Reiki Path

Starting your Reiki journey can feel both exciting and a little mysterious. At Whole Self Unity, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to access healing tools, no matter their background or resources. That’s why we’re offering limited Reiki I seats at just $111—half the standard tuition of $222.

This special opportunity is first come, first served, designed to make Reiki training accessible to more people. In future cycles, an application process will be required, so if you’ve been waiting for a sign, this is it.

Are you ready to get started with Reiki?

What You’ll Learn in Reiki I

Reiki I is all about self-healing. In this beginner-friendly class, you’ll learn:

  • An overview of traditional Reiki hand positions (plus how to practice effectively without them!)

  • How to listen to your intuition so Reiki can gently guide your practice

  • Simple ways to bring peace, rest, and reflection into your daily life

  • Reiki principles that support balance, calm, and healing

This class isn’t about memorizing—it’s about beginning your personal relationship with Reiki in a way that feels natural to you.

How the Class Works

Our classes are taught live on Zoom so you can feel the energy of the group, ask questions, and share in real time. Recordings aren’t offered, because part of the Reiki experience is practicing together as if we were gathered in person.

Each class runs about three or four hours and includes:

  • Access to a Google Classroom for supplemental materials and resources

  • A manual aligned with the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT) Holy Fire® III World Peace curriculum

  • Group practice, guided sharing, and individual support

Your Pathway Beyond Reiki I

Reiki I is just the first step. As your journey continues, you can choose to go further:

  • Reiki I – focused on self-healing. Tuition: $111 limited / $222 standard.

  • Reiki II – offered over 5 weeks, this course deepens your practice and teaches how to share Reiki with others safely and sustainably. Tuition: $222 limited / $333 standard.

  • Reiki III (Advanced Reiki Training) – meets twice a month for 3 months, introducing advanced techniques such as aura clearing and Reiki crystal grids to strengthen your own healing and the healing you share. Tuition: $333 limited / $444 standard.

Note: Master Teacher training is only offered through Amy’s professional practice, Emerge Guided Healing.

This full curriculum repeats twice a year—once in late summer/early fall and again beginning in February.

Why Start Now

Seats at the reduced tuition are limited and available right now without an application process. We are doing this to promote online access to classes for folks who might otherwise have difficulty attending classes. When the February 2025 series begins, we expect to have an application and award process in place, which means open seats may go quickly.

If you’ve felt a quiet pull toward Reiki, or if you’ve been waiting for the right time to begin, this is your chance.

Limited Healing Sessions Available for Women on a Cancer Journey

Limited Healing Sessions Available for Women on a Cancer Journey

At Whole Self Unity, we believe that no one should walk a cancer journey alone. That’s why we’re building a Cancer Wellness Program launching in 2026—a program that will provide holistic, trauma-informed support to women with cancer and their loved ones, free or low-cost, from anywhere in the U.S.

A donor’s gift makes these cancer healing sessions possible.

But you don’t have to wait until 2026 to experience this care. Thanks to a generous donor and the dedication of our practitioners, we have a handful of Premium 45-minute distance healing sessions available today.

Why This Matters Now

A cancer diagnosis touches every part of life—your body, emotions, relationships, and sense of safety. While medical care addresses the physical, holistic support helps ease stress, restore balance, and nurture the spirit.

A 2025 Meta-analysis from Systemic Reviews shows there is evidence across multiple studies that energy modalities, like Reiki, can have a positive impact on recipient’s quality of life. The researchers recommend the use of Reiki healing for cancer patients (see full citation below or read the article here).

This modality works with your body’s own natural responses, to soothe you into a state that facilitates healing, helps you reset from stress, and can help with the physical problems that come with the anxiety and overwhelm such as pain or sleeplessness.

Research from the NCCIH shows that energy healing practices like Reiki may help with:

  • Reducing stress and anxiety

  • Supporting better sleep

  • Improving overall well-being

  • Enhancing peace and emotional resilience

Our practitioners are trained in trauma-informed approaches and committed to providing a safe, compassionate space—wherever you are in your journey.

A Donor Gift, Plus Extra Care

Here’s what makes these early sessions special:

?Donor-Funded Sessions — A generous donor has already paid for several Premium distance sessions so recipients pay nothing.

? Bonus Volunteer Sessions — Our practitioners are also donating additional sessions when recipients provide a short review or testimonial.

? Your Voice Helps Others — These testimonials will help us share real stories during our November–December fundraising campaign and prepare for the 2026 program launch.

One package has already been awarded, and a few remain. Once they’re gone, they’re gone.

Who Can Apply

These early-access sessions are open to:

  • Women diagnosed with cancer (any stage, past or present)

  • Immediate family members and Support Team members (spouse, partner, children, caregivers, friends, companions)

If you or someone you love could benefit from compassionate, holistic support—this is your chance to try it now.

Healing Journey: Consistency and Reflection

Healing Journey: Consistency and Reflection

“Healing Journey: How Consistency & Reflection Can Support Chronic Pain Recovery”

A woman lies peacefully on a healing mat, receiving energy work in a calm, natural setting--distance healing meets you where you are.

Consistency is part of the healing. Schedule your session and receive what you need.

When I first began my healing journey, I wasn’t looking to become a practitioner. I was simply trying to live without pain.

I had been struggling with chronic pain for years, and honestly, I had reached a point where I couldn’t imagine life without it. There’s a particular kind of weariness that comes with long-term pain—a sense of hopelessness, frustration, and sometimes even despair. If you’re reading this and you’ve been there too, I want you to know: I see you. I understand. I’ve been there.

It was during that time that I discovered the work I now offer to others. I didn’t know what to expect from my first few sessions, but I kept showing up. Gradually—sometimes quietly, sometimes dramatically—something began to shift. My body started to release tension I didn’t even realize I was holding. I noticed changes in my sleep, my energy, my ability to focus. And most importantly, I began to experience moments—then hours, then days—without pain.

That transformation was the catalyst for everything that followed. I became deeply curious about how this healing worked, and I knew I needed to learn more. Over the years, I trained in several complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) modalities, including CranioSacral Therapy, Polarity Therapy, and Distance Healing. What started as a personal journey has become my life’s work—and now, I have the honor of supporting others on their own path to healing.

Healing is a shared journey. You don’t have to do it alone.

Healing Is a Journey, Not a Quick Fix

Something I want every client to understand—whether you’re brand new to this work or returning for support—is that healing is a process. While it’s absolutely possible to feel major shifts after just one session, many people find that the real transformation happens over time. That’s not because the work is slow or ineffective, but because we are layered beings.

Sometimes, the body prioritizes which pain to release first. We might begin by addressing a chronic headache, and after it improves, we realize there’s long-held tension in the jaw, neck, or even emotional patterns that were silently contributing. It’s not uncommon for one session to “peel back” a layer of discomfort, only for the next layer to come into focus.

This isn’t a setback—it’s a sign that your system is working with the process. Your body and nervous system are doing something profound: learning to trust again. Releasing, adjusting, restoring.


Why Consistency Matters

Each session builds on the last. With consistent care, we create a foundation where deeper healing can take place. It’s not about “fixing” you—it’s about listening to what your body needs and supporting its natural ability to heal.

If you’re someone who has lived with chronic pain or emotional overwhelm, you may have learned to ignore subtle signals from your body just to get through the day. That’s a powerful survival mechanism, but healing asks something different—it invites you to begin noticing again, gently and with curiosity.

And here’s something important to remember: consistency doesn’t mean you must commit to only one type of therapy. There are many healing modalities available, and sometimes a combination of approaches is exactly what your system needs. At Whole Self Unity, we offer a range of options—distance healing sessions, workshops, and classes—to support different needs and healing styles. I encourage you to explore and see what resonates most with your journey. But healing isn’t linear. Every step forward counts.

You’re Not Alone

One of the greatest gifts of this work is connection—to your body, your spirit, and to a practitioner who truly understands what you’re going through. I’ve walked this path myself, and because of that, I hold deep compassion for anyone navigating the complexities of healing.

I’m not here to offer miracles—I’m here to offer grounded, supportive care rooted in experience, both personal and professional. Whether you need one session or many, I’ll walk alongside you. I trust the wisdom of this work, and I trust your body’s natural capacity to heal.

To help you move forward with confidence, we’ve created a Distance Healing Prep & Integration Toolkit—a free guide to support your energy before, during, and after your session. Inside, you’ll find helpful prompts, journaling space, and gentle practices to help you reflect and integrate.

Final Thought: Reflect on Your Journey

Healing invites us not only to feel better but to know ourselves more deeply. After a session, give yourself time to pause and reflect. What shifted? What emerged? What feels lighter? Often, it’s in these quiet moments that lasting change begins.

The Benefits of Self-Healing with Reiki

The Benefits of Self-Healing with Reiki

You have struggled, but now is the time to reveal your beauty and open to your own wisdom.

What if a few minutes of gentle touch each day could help you sleep better, ease anxiety, and find your center—even on the hardest days?

Whether you’re navigating a cancer journey, recovering from burnout, living with chronic illness, or simply feeling called to reconnect with your body and spirit, Reiki offers a powerful yet gentle way to support your healing.

At Whole Self Unity, we’ve seen firsthand how women with cancer have used Reiki to calm themselves before treatments, soothe pain, rest more deeply, and reconnect with inner strength. But the beauty of Reiki is that it’s not only something you receive—it’s something you can learn and use every day to care for yourself.

This post explores how learning Reiki for self-healing can benefit anyone, especially during times of transition, illness, stress, or deep personal growth. You’ll also find an invitation to join us—whether that means coming to a Reiki Share, learning to give Reiki to yourself, or simply saying yes to a new kind of support.

What Is Self-Healing with Reiki?

Reiki is a gentle, hands-on (or hands-hovering) healing practice that helps balance the body’s energy system. Rooted in Japanese spiritual tradition, Reiki can be shared with others—but one of its most life-changing aspects is how it empowers us to heal ourselves.

Once you’ve been attuned to Reiki in a class or training, it’s with you for life. That means you can place your hands on your own heart, belly, or body whenever you need grounding, rest, peace, or strength.

Self-healing with Reiki is like an energetic version of brushing your teeth: it helps you stay clear, present, and nourished in a world that can feel overwhelming. It needs to be done regularly to get the best benefits from the practice. It is a gentle, effective way to increase your sense of well-being and overall health–but it generally isn’t a substitute for quality care by professionals when more intervention is needed. It does make an incredible addition to your self-care routines–even when the “big stuff” comes along.

Why Reiki Is Ideal for Long-Term Support

Are you ready to step toward your best self right now? Reiki I for Self-Healing.

Many clients and students describe Reiki as the first time they’ve felt like they could do something for themselves in the face of intense circumstances. It’s a portable, side-effect-free, body-honoring practice that:

  • Can be done anywhere, even lying in bed

  • Is safe to use alongside conventional medicine

  • Doesn’t require belief—just willingness

  • Builds strength over time with regular use – as we become better at allowing it to work!

Whether you’re managing your energy after a medical procedure, recovering from trauma, dealing with sleep issues, or navigating emotional overwhelm, Reiki meets you where you are—without judgment.

5 Benefits of Learning Reiki for Self-Healing

1. Ease Anxiety and Regulate Emotions

Reiki helps settle the nervous system, making it easier to ride the waves of stress, appointments, emotional processing, and daily uncertainty.

For women going through cancer treatment, it can become a comforting ritual before scans or surgery. For others, it’s a way to ground before meetings, caregiving tasks, or life’s more chaotic moments.

2. Sleep More Soundly

A short self-Reiki session at night can cue the body into rest mode. Many students fall asleep while practicing!

People with chronic pain or insomnia report deeper, more restorative sleep with consistent practice.

3. Make Clearer, Healthier Choices

Reiki gently increases self-awareness. Over time, this can lead to choosing foods, boundaries, and relationships that better support your healing.

We’ve seen survivors of trauma, cancer, and burnout begin to trust their own needs and instincts again.

4. Build a Grounding Practice That Sticks

Reiki can be paired with meditation, prayer, or breathwork—or practiced on its own. Even 5 minutes in the morning can anchor you before the day begins. Taking 30 seconds to yourself in the bathroom before continuing with an overwhelming day can bring you back to yourself in the present instead of worrying about the path ahead.

Those with ADHD, autoimmune conditions, or anxiety often say Reiki helps them slow down and focus without needing to “do it perfectly.”

Self-Healing with Beginning Reiki Class can be the catalyst to shifting your whole reality.

5. Get Through the Hardest Days with Gentle Power

From chemotherapy to grief, caregiving to recovery, Reiki offers a soft, steady presence. It can soothe physical discomfort, emotional turbulence, and that deep inner ache that longs for peace.

For many, it’s a daily reminder: You are not alone—and you are not powerless.

You Can Learn Reiki Yourself

You don’t need to be “spiritual,” a healer, or anything other than yourself to learn Reiki. You don’t need to “believe” in anything, Reiki is a set of practical techniques and tools, not a belief system. That being said, Reiki also works right alongside all belief systems, if you happen to have a spiritual “Home”. All are welcome to heal here.

In our Reiki I course, we teach you how to:

  • Give yourself a complete Reiki session

  • Understand the history and ethics of Reiki

  • Begin using Reiki for your own wellness goals

  • Start sensing energy and tuning into your inner wisdom

Once you’ve taken a Reiki I class, your hands become lifelong tools for healing and peace. And you’ll always have something to come back to when life gets overwhelming.

How Reiki Helped My Dog Heal Faster After a Traumatic Injury

How Reiki Helped My Dog Heal Faster After a Traumatic Injury

When Crisis Hits Close to Home

Rila, Amy's service dog, lays quietly after recent injuries. Reiki is on the way!

Rila’s wounds were going to be open for 8 to 10 weeks.

Last week, something happened that every service dog handler dreads: my dog—my companion, my helper, my heart—was attacked by two neighbor dogs. It was sudden, violent, and traumatic for both of us. She sustained a serious abdominal wound, and the vet was clear: this would be a long recovery.

Eight to ten weeks of open wound care. Multiple bandage changes per week. Pain meds, antibiotics, and round-the-clock care. Sedation for the bandaging–again and again and again. I was devastated and overwhelmed.

Travel plans for the two of us, and work with clients were rapidly being scrubbed for the summer. I wasn’t worried about that, though. I wanted my partner to be okay–and the vet had to explain the way dog bites work and heal before I grasped the real issue: it might look like healing is going well one day, and tissue can then “die off” inside or at the edges of the wound. I was so scared for her.

But I wasn’t alone.

Calling on My Support System—and Reiki

As I’ve done during many hard times, I turned to my community. I shared what had happened on social media and asked for prayers, thoughts, light—and Reiki.

And wow, did she receive it. Reiki was flowing constantly to her from all directions. The powerful, compassionate Reiki practitioners I have worked with lovingly with in HeartSpace for years responded. My connections with the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT), called for help from practitioners around the globe. For four days straight, she was bathed in gentle, loving energy from people near and far—many of whom have practiced Reiki with me, received sessions from Whole Self Unity, or simply held good intentions.

Practitioners put her in their Reiki crystal grids, so a continuous flow of Reiki would find her and boost her healing for the greatest possible good, in the highest possible way. Across time zones and across the International Dateline, we were bathed in unconditional love from near and far.

Rila looks miserable, although heavily medicated she appears to be in pain.

Rila looks miserable, even though she is heavily medicated.

During that time, I also gave her Reiki in person, tuning in to her body’s signals, her nervous system, and her inner knowing. I could feel her relaxing into it—releasing the initial shock, allowing peace to return, one breath at a time.

A Medical Surprise

When we returned to the vet on day four, something remarkable had happened.

The wound had changed–on the phone before opening the bandage, the vet reminded me again that this would take 8 to 10 weeks. Yet that story changed once she sedated my nervous partner and took a look under the bandage. The deep bruising that extended across her abdomen had almost completely healed. The pocket that was expected to drain for weeks had nearly closed. The vet called in another surgeon who examined it also and agreed–this wound was okay to stitch up!

Now, instead of a long, uncertain journey, we’re looking at just two weeks of healing. No more exposed tissue. No complex dressing changes. Just rest, care, and cuddles. (And a very bored service dog who isn’t used to being told to take it easy.)

We got home from the vet that night overjoyed and relieved–and so very grateful for all the help we had been offered. We even sang her song (The Rila Song) together as a duet. Normally, she just listens, but she is also Reiki attuned, and I believe she knew exactly what had happened.

What Reiki Is—and What It Isn’t

Service dog's complicated medicines and treatment schedule from the vet.

Rila had excellent medical care AND Reiki.

I want to be clear: we had excellent veterinary care. Reiki didn’t replace antibiotics or pain relief or medical guidance. It worked with the vet’s care—not in place of it.

Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive form of energy healing that promotes deep relaxation, reduces stress, and supports the body’s natural healing processes. It doesn’t override medical treatment; it enhances the environment for healing—physically, emotionally, and energetically.

In my dog’s case, I believe Reiki helped her body shift out of fight-or-flight, supported cell regeneration, and gave her nervous system the space it needed to recover from trauma. The antibiotics, pain medication, and excellent medical interventions helped her tissues and physical systems–the Reiki boosted those effects and also helped shift the nonphysical aspects of her fuzzy being.

Healing Isn’t Just Physical

This experience reminded me of something I often tell my clients: healing happens on many levels. Yes, her physical wound healed quickly—but I also saw her emotional recovery accelerate. Her eyes softened. Her breathing slowed. She slept deeply. Her trust returned.

That’s what Reiki can do. It supports healing not just in the body, but in the heart, the mind, and the spirit.

A Message for You, If You’re Overwhelmed

Rila, Amy's service dog, smiles again after injury thanks to Reiki and modern medicine.

Rila feels better, because her healing was speedy with Reiki.

If you’re facing something hard right now—grief, pain, burnout, anxiety, illness—you’re not alone. Healing isn’t always fast. But it is possible.

Whether it’s through medical care, energy work, or the support of a loving community, healing happens. And Reiki can be part of that journey.

If you’re curious about trying Reiki—whether for yourself, a loved one, or even a furry companion—I’d be honored to hold space for your healing. I firmly believe that anyone who earnestly asks for healing receives it at the right time in the right way. Healing is already on the way, Friend.

What Is a Reiki Share?

What Is a Reiki Share?

A Reiki Share is a gathering of people who come together to give and receive Reiki in a spirit of generosity, learning, and mutual care. It’s a beautiful way to dip a toe into Reiki if you’re new, practice regularly if you’re a student, or stay nourished and connected if you’re a practitioner.

At Whole Self Unity, we host twice-monthly online Reiki Shares via Zoom, making it easy for you to experience the power of group healing from the comfort of your own home. No matter your level of experience—or your budget—you’re invited.

A Reiki Share, Simply Explained

Join Reiki Shares from anywhere via Zoom

A Reiki Share (sometimes called a Reiki Circle or Reiki Exchange) is a group gathering where Reiki is both given and received. It’s designed to be a supportive space where everyone benefits. Typically, shares are open to people attuned to Reiki as well as those who want to receive or are simply interested in learning more.

The atmosphere is relaxed, collaborative, and healing. The focus is less on formal instruction and more on shared energy and connection.

What Happens During a Reiki Share?

Every Reiki Share is a little different, but here’s what you can expect from our online Reiki group:

  • A warm welcome and brief introductions, as well as an opportunity for intentions, and Q & A (questions and answers)

  • A short grounding or meditation with formal intention setting for the group

  • Group Reiki sending and receiving, often in pairs or small breakout rooms (depends on the number of attendees)

  • Time for gentle reflection, integration, and optional sharing

We hold a container of respect, confidentiality, and safety, so you can show up just as you are.

Sessions last around 90 minutes and can be a deeply relaxing and energizing experience for all involved. If you can’t attend for the full session, you are welcome to join or depart at any time–don’t feel you can only show up if you can stay the whole time.

Benefits of Joining a Group Reiki Session

Emotional support and shared healing energy

Whether you’re a practitioner or a first-timer, group Reiki shares offer unique benefits:

  • Deep rest & relaxation: Reiki in a group setting often amplifies the sense of calm and ease.

  • Ongoing practice: Perfect for Reiki students to keep their flow going between classes.

  • Healing community: You’ll connect with others who value energy healing and holistic support.

  • Balanced giving and receiving: Practitioners often feel deeply replenished after sharing Reiki.

  • Accessible healing: Our online Reiki shares are a form of community service—free or low-cost—making energy healing available to more people.

What Makes an Online Reiki Share Special?

Energy transcends space and time, and so does Reiki. In a Zoom-based Reiki Share, the healing is just as powerful, with the added benefits of convenience and accessibility. We do offer some LiveStream share options on social media platforms, but this format allows the practitioners and recipients to interact privately.

You can:

  • Join from anywhere in the world

  • Relax in your own home environment

  • Participate even if you’re navigating illness, mobility challenges, or a full schedule

  • Meet like-hearted people you might never encounter locally–virtually, face-to-face

When you sign up, we’ll send a few simple guidelines that help keep our Reiki Shares safe, welcoming, and respectful for everyone involved—whether it’s your first time or your fiftieth.

Distance Reiki is a beautiful reminder that connection is energetic first—and that healing is always available.

  • Reiki students and practitioners from any level, any lineage

  • Curious newcomers who want to feel what Reiki is like before booking a private session

  • Anyone exploring becoming a Reiki student or finding the right teacher

  • Practitioners looking to build relationships and network

Each session includes time to share Reiki, meet others, and rest deeply. There is no pressure, only invitation.
