A FEW OF MELISSA'S TESTIMONIALS

"This is by far the BEST course I've taken regarding Reiki. I have paid hundreds of dollars for an in-person course for Reiki I and Reiki II, and honestly, I learned more in this course from Melissa than my other instructor." Maria

"I took a course in person with a Reiki Master for these 2 levels and paid a lot of money for them. I can honestly say that I actually learned MORE and in a more loving, precise way from THIS course than I did with my in-person teacher." Dawn

"I have learned so much more in this course than a course I took in person with another Reiki master! It's insane the amount of material that's provided here" Rita V

"I have taken several courses through Udemy. You are the best teacher hands down." Betty Jo

"This was an incredible course!! The reiki coursebook alone is worth its weight in gold and is really easy to follow along and learn. I had done my reiki level 1 & 2 at an in-person workshop previously and I honestly learned more from this course with Melissa." Narelle

"I was not sure about the long-distance attunement at first, but it was very powerful and there was no doubt in my mind that I had received it." Debbie

"I would give it 100☆'s if I could. Thank you" Christine

"For me, this was a life-changing course ..this course is worth more than whatever you pay!" Michael

"I wish I could give this course a 10-star rating!" Amit

"If you take one Reiki course, take this one. Well worth it." Joseph

WHAT TO EXPECT

Learn how to harness Reiki, the Universal Life Force Energy to heal yourself, friends, family, pets, other people, animals, objects and even situations with Melissa's best-selling Reiki course! You'll learn how to take care of your mind, body, and soul; as well as attract loving energy and abundance into your life!

WHAT'S INCLUDED

This course includes all three levels of Reiki: Reiki Level 1, Reiki Level 2, and Master Level. Melissa's course is self-paced and completely digital, which means you can go as slow or as quick as you like. The most important component here is to choose the path that feels right for you.

When you're ready, you'll be attuned via a distance Chakra Cleansing & Reiki Attunement Ceremony for all three Reiki levels.

From there, you'll be able to access your course handbook, written by Melissa: Energy Healing Through Reiki (in PDF), as well as the accompanying Workbook Exercises book (PDF) to record your practice sessions and experiences in.

What's more, Melissa gives her students the best additional learning tools such as: Posters of Each Reiki Symbol (PDF), a 5 Minute Guided Meditation (via video lecture), Human Chakra Posters (PDF), Dog Chakra Posters (PDF), and Cat Chakra Posters (PDF) - not to mention some links to other helpful resources.

Melissa's comprehensive manual, workbook, additional books and learning tools will ensure you have everything you need, not just to become a Reiki Master, but to master your mind, body and soul.

Once you've completed the entire course, gone through all the lectures and practiced when prompted, if you choose to, you'll be able to take my Reiki Master Final Exam to receive a beautiful Usui Reiki Master Certificate (PDF) showing your Reiki lineage, too!

Some of the additional benefits of this course include being able to grow spiritually, improve your self worth, be more centred and calm in your everyday life, achieve and live at a higher level of energy, notice synchronicities and attract abundance into your life.

Also, Melissa offers up some tips and hints for those who want to start their own Reiki business as a result of taking this course.

We hope you enjoy the journey sweet friends!

Note on becoming a Reiki Teacher: In this Reiki 1 2 + Master course, the focus is on self-healing and healing others. Teaching others comprises of so many other elements that it's been ‘broken’ it out into another course by Melissa Crowhurst called the Advanced Reiki Master Teacher course. For those who want to teach and certify others in Reiki, consider enrolling in the supplementary Advanced Reiki Master Teacher course as well as this one.

Who this course is for:

This course is ideal for those who want to learn how to harness energy healing for themselves and others
While this course stands strongly on its own, it does complement other healing modalities such as massage, chiropractic services, nursing and more
No prior knowledge or experience is necessary, however this course does require you to have an open mind and willingness to love :)
