Becoming a Reiki practitioner is more than just learning an energy healing technique—it’s a transformational journey that can impact your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. Reiki practitioners are trained to channel Reiki energy to facilitate healing, balance, and well-being in themselves and others. Karen Harrison’s Reiki practitioner classes can change your life in several ways.

During a Reiki session, the practitioner typically places their hands lightly on or just above the client’s body, allowing the energy to flow through them into the client. Treatments can also be done at a distance over the phone or Zoom. Reiki treatments help balance the body’s energy centers and encourage physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.
