Reiki Level I is for many people an exciting and wonderful beginning; for others, this course will be an opportunity to explore Reiki further, maybe from a different perspective or gathered with others in a new space and time…

Or maybe you’re sensitive to people and situations, and Reiki training acknowledges something about energy you’ve had a feeling about all along. It might be where your journey begins, or a way for it to continue.

This is a course for beginners, and those who know the value of a beginners’ mind.

I teach the traditional, foundational system of traditional Japanese Usui Reiki Ryōhō… and I'll weave in a little bit of herbalism, as is my way. My teaching is grounded, inspired by a deep connection and respect for the reciprocity of nature, and a sense of belonging to the natural world. Reiki helps you find your true self, your essence, and be able to hear and acknowledge your intuitive self-knowing.

The Usui System of Reiki teaches tools and techniques for self discovery, self healing and connection with life enery.

• Notice energies in everyday life,

• Become aware of what affects your life energy’s vibration and flow, and

• Learn techniques for connecting with, listening to, perceiving and raising your personal energy with hands-on self-healing.

This first level is called ‘Shoden’ which means ‘first teachings’, and we will learn about the foundational practices and elements of the System of Usui Reiki. In this practical beginner course, you will learn how Usui Reiki offers self-healing practices and a way of life which uplifts and protects your personal energy.

Whether you're looking for a way to relax, manage stress, protect your personal energy, or connect more deeply with yourself and others - people, animals, places - Reiki offers a path to holistic well-being.​ It is simple and accessible to practice, anyone can do it.

During the course, you will learn:

• The structure of the Usui Reiki System;

• What Reiki is and how to use it in daily life;

• How to practice Reiki hands-on self healing, and how to share Reiki with others;

• How to connect with the life energy in plants, animals and nature; 

• 3herbal remedies which are supportive to foundational Reiki practices;

• Receive Reiju - a Reiki attunement;

• ​Receive a comprehensive manual;

• Certification of training and attunement;

• Your Reiki journey continues beyond the training day and as part of your ongoing support, you’ll have access to:

  • Free access to an online ‘Reiki Resources’ section of this website, with recorded meditations & techniques;

  • Opportunity to attend a monthy Reiki share group here in North Berwick;

  • Invitation to membership on Substack / this website, for ongoing support and inspiration.

You can come even if you’ve never experienced Reiki before - this Reiki Level 1 course is designed for complete beginners.

You will be learning in a small group of up to 6 people with me, Liz Thomas. I am an Usui Reiki III (Shinpiden) Master Teacher, and I’m fully insured to teach and practice Reiki.

Please do get in touch with me and ask any questions: liz@reikiremedysanctuary.co.uk

Reiki Level II (Okuden) expands on the strong foundations of Shoden, and introduces new techniques, symbols and mantra to provide a deeper understanding and connection for self-development and self-awareness. With the completion of case studies, this is a practitioner level certification.

The next available training weekends are:

• Saturday 13th June (10am - 4pm) & Sunday 14th June (9am - 1pm) 

• Saturday 24th October (10am - 4pm) & Sunday 25th October (9am - 1pm) 

I teach the traditional Japanese system of Usui Reiki Ryōhō… and I'll weave in a little bit of herbalism, as is my way. Taking learning, insights, inspiration and devotion from the natural world we belong to.

• Reiki II is taught over two days, this course is in-person at the Reiki & Remedy Sanctuary in central North Berwick.

• If you would like to split the payment, please send this email form to pay a deposit of £50 to hold your space, with the balance of £170 payable one week before the training weekend.

• The pre-requisite for this course is the completion of Reiki Level 1 (which can be with any teacher) and at least 21 days of self-treatment and reflection before beginning Reiki Level II. It is likely that more time would be beneficial to allow the teachings of Reiki 1 to establish and integrate; listen to your inner-knowing with regard to timing.

This is the next level of your Reiki training, teaching methods to deepen your connection, expand perception, learn distance healing, and prepare you to support others.

• This training prepares you to become a Reiki practitioner;

• Enables you to add Reiki practitioner certification to your existing practice/s; or maybe

• You would like to expand your self-healing journey beyond place and time.

This course provides a deeper understanding and connection to the teachings of Usui Mikao. Using traditional Japanese principles, you will learn the qualities of Earth and Heaven energies, expanding your integration with the universe. Deeper connection is developed through the practice of symbols and mantras.

Reiki is a simple and accessible practice, anyone can do it. The reason for the levels (I, II and III) is to allow time for integration, personalisation and individuation in your practice; Reiki is more than a healing modality, it is a spiritual journey which unfolds as and when you are ready.

During the course, you will learn:

• Review of the structure of the Usui Reiki System;

• Reiki II Symbols and their meaning;

• Mantras, and chanting the symbols;

• Meditation using the symbols;

• Reiki II attunement;

• Distant Healing;

• Discussion, guidance and insights into becoming a Reiki Practitioner;

• How to structure a Reiki treatment, including contraindications and the Law;

• Detailed training manual provided.

Please note: Award of Reiki II Certification requires the completion of case studies after the training. This is a valuable and wonderful part of the Reiki II journey, and usually takes 2-4 months.

After the training days, I will support you with:

• Access to an online Reiki Resources section of the website, with recorded Reiki meditations and tutorials,

• Keep in touch with questions, I offer continued email support and chat,

• You are welcomed to Reiki Shares, a great way to broaden your case studies,

• Invitation to join the substack / website Membership area, as a way to inspire and expand your practise / practice.

You will be learning in a small group of up to 6 people with me, Liz Thomas. I am an Usui Reiki III (Shinpiden) Master Teacher, and I’m fully insured to teach and practice Reiki.

I would love to hear from you if you have any questions: liz@reikiremedysanctuary.co.uk

Reiki Level III - Shinpiden - which in Japanese means ‘mystery teachings’ is a continuation of the Reiki path towards a ‘mastering’ of the System. This level completes the theory and techniques: we learn one last symbol / mantra and bring this in to well-established practices to continue an expansion of perception, becoming, and deepening of your personal practice.

This level gives you a deep simplicity of understanding Reiki, and is a level to develop a strong sense of being a part of the Universe. It is still about personal healing and growth, and this course supports you in becoming a much more effective Reiki practitioner. It helps you develop your knowledge and skills so that you feel able to work confidently with more complex and challenging healing situations.

This is a Reiki Master practitioner training, and completes the education in the Usui Reiki system.​ If your goal is to become a Reiki teacher, it will be necessary to undertake a Master Teacher course afterwards.

• Reiki III is taught over two days, in-person at The Reiki & Remedy Sanctuary in central North Berwick.

My aim is to offer a grounded and nurturing setting where you feel safe and nurtured - by nature. Space and time professionally and calmly held for you to receive exactly what you need with compassion and kindness.

What to expect:

• You remain fully dressed, so come in comfortable clothing.

• During the Reiki session, you will be invited to find a restful position, either lying down or seated.

• You can opt for an entirely hands-off treatment, which is just as effective from an energetic point of view.

• It is best not to come for a Reiki session after a heavy meal, after drinking alcohol, or after strongly caffeinated drinks.

I am an insured and qualified Reiki Master Teacher and Practitioner, and holistic herbal practitioner.

Reiki is a therapeutic hands-on healing practice, which offers complementary healing & wellbeing for the mind, body and soul.

Liz is a Reiki Master Practitioner & Teacher: “I love to share Reiki hands-on healing as a grounding, calming, balancing experience to help you find your way back to your own innate natural wellbeing.”

Reiki can help you release stress, it helps calm the nervous system, and restores a sense of balance. These sessions are ideal for regular support, maintenance, or when you need to hit the reset button.

Leave feeling relaxed and restored, grounded and connected to your self.

• You can also book & pay for Reiki sessions directly, in a one-step process.

Reiki is a system of mindful connection with natural life energy.  It helps you access a state of relaxation, of ‘rest & connect’ where your body can reinstate vitality, restore balance, and promote holistic wellbeing. My aim is to offer a grounded and nurturing setting where you feel safe and seen.  A moment gently held for you to receive exactly what you need in the flow of life energy, with compassion and kindness.

What to expect:

• You remain fully dressed, so come in comfortable clothing.

• You will be invited to find a restful position, one best suited to supporting your relaxation. I’ll ask if you’d like to lie down or sit for the session.

• You can opt for an entirely hands-off treatment, which is just as effective from an energetic point of view.

• It is best not to come for a Reiki session after a heavy meal, after drinking alcohol, or after strongly caffeinated drinks.

The session is 1 hour in total, including time to settle in with a seasonal herbal tea and discuss your intention for the appointment.

I practice energy-led, intuitive traditional Japanese Usui Reiki Ryoho. My practice is to use gentle touch or hold hands over / near the body to connect in a flow of universal life energy to promote holistic self-healing and wellbeing.

For those of us who love animals…  they are our world!  

I support the wellbeing of my animals with the healing benefits of Reiki, and as a horse & pony lover I especially enjoy holding equine reiki treatments at your yard, stables or field.

* SPRING  SPECIAL OFFER *  for May 2026 — 1 hour session @ £30 cash, WhatsApp Liz on 07814662328 to arrange or ask any questions!

As a Reiki Master Practitioner I can help an animal in your care feel less stressed, recover more quickly from injury or surgery, and improve their emotional well-being.

I like to use dowsing rods so you can see where the blockages are, and feel part of your animal’s healing journey, helping you understand them on a whole new level.

• Reiki is a therapeutic practice which offers complementary healing by promoting harmony and balance.

• Reiki for animals can offer long-lasting — sometimes life-long — emotional healing following trauma, abuse, neglect, fear and trust issues, bringing peace into even the most complex situations.

• Reiki can promote deep relaxation and stress-reduction and, over time, reduces the anxiety which creates stress for high-strung or nervous animals.

• Reiki has the ability to aid recovery from physical illness and injury in animals.

Reiki gently goes directly to those situations in need of healing, even if they are not known to the practitioner or their human. Energy healing is intelligent, and goes to the area in need of healing. Reiki is safe and comfortable for your animal, and sessions are always on the animal’s terms respecting their free will to engage with the energy healing.

Start with one session, to see the difference it might make your beloved animal.
We’ll go from there: maybe a course of sessions is helpful, maybe where there has been chronic imbalance, trauma or pain, but sometimes one treatment is enough to help restore an animals holistic health.

What to expect:

• All animals are treated in their own homes or environment.

• The appointment lasts 1 hour, including time for a review, discussion and to discuss next steps at the end.

• The price includes travel within East Lothian. Please contact me if you are based further afield, to discuss options.

• Payment is made via this link, and the appointment arranged by mutual availability, Monday - Thursday between 10am - 2pm, in evenings, and I have ad-hoc weekend availability.

• You will be asked to complete a client information/declaration form (which is an insurance requirement). Any information given is strictly confidential.

• Reiki can be given hands-on or through an in-person ‘distance’ connection; the animal doesn’t have to be handled. I assess the situation and think of my own safety as well as the animal’s comfort, permission and tolerance / sensitivity.

• Please contact me to discuss the remote ‘distance’ option, if that’s more appropriate for your situation.

Legalities to note:

• Animal Reiki Therapy is provided in Accordance with section 27 of the Veterinary Surgeons act 1966 and chapter 19 of the supporting guidance for the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons code of conduct for Veterinary Surgeons, as a complementary therapy, not alternative medicine.

• The complementary treatment of animals by contact healing, the laying on of hands or distance healing is legal, however the Protection of Animals Act 1911 states that if an animal needs treatment from a Vet the owner must obtain this first. It is strongly recommended you discuss any potential Reiki therapy for your animal with a vet.

• A Reiki Practitioner does not give diagnosis and is very careful not to do so.

When treating an animal I open the session using distance healing first, and then move to hands-on if it is appropriate, safe and tolerated by the animal receiving the treatment.

I am fully insured to practice Animal Reiki.

If you know me, you’ll know how much joy working with children gives me! Supporting children’s health and wellbeing is a purpose I feel called to.  I am uplifted by the heart-warming feedback I receive on the children’s enjoyment and benefits of Reiki sessions with me.

These sessions are 30-60 minutes long; they are child-led without any pressure or expectation of ‘behaviour’.
Book one session for £30, or a block of 3 for £80.

Importantly, I’d like to highlight:

• Your privacy & confidentiality is extremely important to me. North Berwick is small; East Lothian is small… it’s a small world. You and your child will be held in complete confidence.

• Sessions can include some hands-on healing touch if that’s found to be welcomed by the child (perhaps to head, back or feet) but can be entirely hands-off and this is no less effective. 

• An adult must remain for the full duration of the session. I hold a Disclosure Scotland Scheme Membership Statement and I’m fully insured to practice reiki.  

I set the space in my Sanctuary to your child’s needs, very often we sit together on the floor and begin with a chat - however that isn’t always necessary -

• Reiki has the great advantage that is there is no need to talk about or revisit any experience.

• Reiki is a complementary therapy which supports unconditionally even if a child is very young, or worried to speak, or has difficulty articulating their feelings.

• Reiki’s way of connecting a person with their own sense of Self can support children navigating today’s modern world. From helping them cope with the increasing pressures of academic exams and school expectations, reducing worry including anxiety in social situations, and healing from a bereavement, Reiki can be the right thing at the right time - you’ll know.

In these sessions, we explore the most helpful techniques and teachings of Reiki for each individual. We will draw from hand positions, self-Reiki, mantra, light and sound - vibration, visualisation, and the precepts. I have a variety of playful, constructive and imaginative tools and techniques to share, which are rooted in the system of Reiki for self-healing.

Reiki is a gentle yet effective complementary therapy which promotes a state of relaxation, supporting your child to access their rest-and-digest (parasympathetic nervous system) state. It is from here that they can self-heal, and together we identify strategies for using Reiki to transform feelings such as worry, frustration, anger, anxiety, and overwhelm.

Offering these shorter sessions reflects my passion for supporting and working with young people. You can book them individually, or as a series of 3. Once you’ve purchased Reiki session/s please just get in touch to schedule an appointment:

• Appointments are usually held here at The Reiki & Remedy Sanctuary in central North Berwick, Monday - Thursday, 9:00am - 3:00pm.

• Please enquire with me if you are looking for an evening or weekend, I love to make space and time where and when it works best for you so I’m happy to discuss.

I am a Reiki Master Teacher & practitioner and I have experience working with people of all ages, from children as young as 4, to teenagers and…. way beyond!

Distance Reiki is arranged exactly like for an in-person appointment, but you will receive from the comfort and conveinence of your home. I love to share energy healing in this way, as you are free afterwards to rest & integrate, taking as long as you need - or drifting off to sleep.

I still head out to the garden Sanctuary Studio, to completely set aside the time and space for you. Together we can arrange a date and time - and you will choose somewhere comfortable to relax and receive Reiki.

You can read more about Distance Reiki here.

Feel the connection and flow of universal life energy over space and time, as energy and intention support your self-healing. Use this direct shop link if you would like to arrange the date and time in person; if you would like to book directly, you can use this scheduling link.

I have experienced first-hand how effective and powerful distance sessions can be, and if you can’t get to the R&R Sanctuary in person or your situation means you’d rather the privacy and flexibility of a remote treatment, I can strongly recommend trying a session.

Sessions are typically arranged as follows:

• Prepare your space:

  • Choose somewhere you can be quiet, uninterrupted and relaxed. Maybe have a blanket to wrap yourself in.

  • Have gentle soothing music playing. I like using the Solfeggio Frequencies, which you can search for on your music player; if you’re unsure start with trying 639 Hz for healing.

  • Have some water ready to drink afterwards.

• We’ll start the session with a brief call:

  • I'll call you on a number you provide, to discuss what you'd like from the session.

  • During this call I will share a short breathing practice to settle into the space, come to the moment and relax. 

• After our introductions and the breathing practice, I’ll put the phone down and send distance Reiki healing, for an hour.

• At the end of the hour, you can choose to call me back (07814662328) or continue to rest and integrate. I do not ring back, because one of the benefits of distance is that you can rest in the flow for as long as you like.

• If you choose not to call at the end, I will follow up with an email the following day.

One of the best things about distance is that you don't need to 'snap out' of a flow state, but can continue to rest, sleep, dream, journal, reflect... and then talk if and when you'd like to.  I'll be there for a call if you'd like to feedback or discuss anything, or you can call or message later in the afternoon if you prefer. 

Be guided by the experience of the flow of energy - you'll know what you need. 

Reiki Shares are a gentle opportunity to practice together; grow in confidence, connect and explore new techniques. You can bring your questions, share experiences, and support each other in your self-healing journeys. I will guide the practice as much as is helpful to the group.

Whether you’re a regular or this is your first Reiki Share, you are welcome here. These sessions are relaxed, non-judgemental, inclusive and accessible: I aim to maintain that openness and ease.

2 sessions are held at the R&R Sanctuary in the last week of the month:
The Tuesday gathering is for Reiki II / III practitioners, while Thursday has a focus on Reiki I techniques & practice.

I try whenever possible to weave into these Share Sessions conversations, remedy-making and relationship building with plants. They are good teachers in natural healing and offer insights into holistic wellbeing.

These Share Sessions are open to anyone who has had Reiki training in the past (any level, and with any teacher). The main purpose of the gathering is to give and receive Reiki in a relaxed and supported atmosphere of like-minded people with compassionate energy.

To give you a flavour of what the sessions might include:

• ​Grounding / connection / empowerment (creating an energetic space);

• Meditation / technique;

• Discussions and questions;

• Share in a seasonal herbal tea/blend, and open discussion around a herb for the month;

• Sharing and receiving Reiki with each other.

The gathering is run by me, Liz Thomas, Usui Reiki Master Teacher.

Please note, your booking is non-refundable, but you can reschedule your booking to another available date.
