No. You don't have to hold any beliefs or follow any rules or dogma to do Reiki. Mikao Usui, the creator of Reiki, was Buddhist so many of the concepts in his healing system come within that context but it is not a Buddhist practice. Whether you have a religion or have no religion you can do Reiki. I've had students check with their priest if it's ok to take a Reiki class.

Yes, Reiki for Birth Workers is designed for people who've never learnt Reiki before. Even if you've never received it or only just heard of it, we start with the absolute basics and you don't need to know anything yet.

Reiki for Birth Workers is not a certification training but I offer certification workshops for my students. These 2 hour Zoom workshops include a live personal attunement, a guided self-treatment, guided professional style treatment on another and a Q&A. As well as becoming certified as a Reiki practitioner you also receive 21 days of follow up email support and access to my private Facebook group.

Yes, you'll learn how to give a full, professional style treatment as well as learning how to use it more informally.

Yes, you'll learn how to give yourself Reiki to support both your health and wellness and your spiritual growth.

You get access right away. Once you've purchased the course you'll receive an email with your log in details for the program. You'll have access to it right away and for as long as you need, there's no expiration.

You'll receive details of how to access the course along with your login details in the welcome email once you've made your purchase. The course is hosted on a website so you'll be able to access it on your computer or phone. It's also available as an app, so you can refer to the materials in the moment with your clients and patients. The manuals are downloadable so you can save them on your devices.

I really get how hard it is to find the time to take a program. I did my best to make it easy as possible to fit into a super busy birthworker life.

The whole program takes about 4 hours to complete. The content is split into short videos, so if you're super busy you can watch a 5 minute video when you can catch a window, you don't need to watch it all in one go.

There are also audio versions of each of the video lessons so you can listen to them if that's easier for you.

You don't need to take notes or do any homework so you can listen while you're driving, working out, anywhere you can carve a little multi-tasking time.

There is an attunement video, which feels like a meditation.

If you prefer to receive a personal attunement from me that's available in my certification workshops which you are welcome to join after you've taken Reiki for Birth Workers. These workshops take place on Zoom and include a live personal attunement, a guided self-treament, a guided professional style treatment on another, a Q&A and as well as becoming certified as a Reiki practitioner you also receive 21 days of follow up email support and access to my private Facebook group.

In person attunements give you a different energetic experience that many people find very powerful but they're not essential.

Birth trauma, anxiety, nausea, heartburn, headaches, constipation, hemorrhoids, sciatica, difficulty sleeping, edema, hypertension, breech presentation, placenta previa, labor induction, stalled labor, pain management, retained placenta, medical intervetions, c-section, physical recovery, depression and lactation. The course also includes how to work with the newborn, how to energetically prepare for birth, how to energetically prepare the birth space and how to incorporate Reiki into the birth plan.

Yes, you can use Reiki to help absolutely anything. The protocols in the training help you be more effective for the conditions covered, but you can use Reiki to support your clients or patients with any issue, acute or chronic.

Maybe! There are always issues that should be refered out, but you might well save your client or patient a visit to the acupunturist or chiropractor.

There are no guarantees in birth and no intervention is always successful. Reiki is not a miracle, it's a complementary therapy that you can use as part of a holistic approach to your client's care. You should always continue with whatever techniques you already know help your clients and add Reiki to the mix. Reiki will have a positive impact on your client's birth journey but the best outcomes are usually when we approach a problem from more than one angle.

It sure is! I'm teaching a blend of Western and Japanese Reiki so, unless you've also trained in both branches of Reiki, there will be some new nuggets and different ways of looking at things. Further study is also helpful in strengthening your connection to Reiki.

The content about how to use Reiki in the perinatal period is unique to this program, so even if you're not interested in reviewing the Reiki 1 curriculum you'll learn how to make your Reiki even more effective with your clients.

You can, it's in a separate module and you can choose just to watch that content. It's not available as a separate program though, you need to purchase the complete Reiki for Birth Workers training.

You receive a Reiki 1 certificate if you take the certification workshop. This is usually enough to start working as a professional Reiki practitioner (please check the laws in your country or state). You'll receive the standard of training required to work professionally in Reiki for Birth Workers.

Reiki for Birth Workers will give you the expertise to niche your Reiki practice towards a pregnant and postpartum population. Perinatal care is a rewarding area to focus on!
