FROM 1 STUDENT TO 420+ - WHAT ACTUALLY GETS PEOPLE TO COMMIT TO DEEP HEALING
When I taught my very first Reiki student over 20 years ago, I had no idea that one day I'd train more than 420 people in Reiki or that I'd keep going for as long as I have.
I'm a Gemini and am always interested in learning so many things, often at the same time! I was learning loads of other things when I started Reiki. 🧑🎓
I definitely didn't have some grand master plan and I never went into it ever thinking about starting a biz.
I just wanted to share something that had completely changed my own life, in so many ways over the years. 🥰
Fast forward two decades and I've watched hundreds of students walk through my workshop doors.
Some have come looking for stress relief. Some wanted to heal emotionally. Others were searching for purpose, connection, or a way to help the people they love. ❤️
But here's what I've noticed...
The people who experience the biggest transformations aren't the ones collecting a gazillion certificates.
They're the ones who commit to their own healing journey. 🙌🏻
WE LIVE IN A "NEXT SHINY THING" CULTURE
We live in a world where people are constantly chasing the next course, next book, next healing modality, next guru, next quick fix.
They're learning breathwork on Monday. 🫁
Human Design on Tuesday.
Going to a weekend retreat on Saturday. 🏝️
And wondering why they still feel stuck six months later.
Knowledge is useful; but you also need time to integrate it.
But real transformation doesn't happen because you know more.
It happens because you apply what you've learned consistently - only then will you embody what you've learned. 🤗
I've seen people spend thousands of dollars jumping from one healing modality to another without ever giving themselves enough time to integrate any of it.
It's a bit like planting seeds and digging them up every second day to see if they're growing. 🌱
WHAT MAKES MY STUDENTS DIFFERENT?
Over the years I've trained more than 420 Reiki students.
Many have continued into Reiki 2.
Some have gone all the way through to Master Teacher level. 👩🏼🏫
Others have completed my Advanced Healing Techniques training.
And many of them come to me for 1:1 coaching and energy work, or do my coaching programs to go deeper with their own healing. 🌀
Why?
Because once they start seeing changes in themselves, they want to go deeper.
They start sleeping better. 💤
Feeling calmer.
Trusting themselves more. 🥰
Processing emotions differently.
Feeling more connected to who they really are.
Decluttering/vibrating away from the people, places and things that don't work for them anymore... and attracting new people, places and opportunities that are more aligned with the life they're meant to be living.
And they realise healing isn't about becoming someone new.
It's about remembering who you were before life piled a whole heap of s**te on top of your true self. ☺️
LEARNING REIKI ISN'T JUST ABOUT HEALING OTHERS
One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is that people think they need to want a healing business to learn Reiki.
You don't.
Most of my students learn Reiki for themselves first.
To reduce stress. To support their mental and emotional wellbeing. To improve their energy. To feel more grounded. To create a deeper connection with themselves.
The bonus is that once you know how to work with energy, you can also use those skills to support family, friends, pets and clients if you choose. 🫶🏻
THE STUDENTS WHO GET THE BEST RESULTS
The students who get the most from Reiki aren't necessarily the most spiritual.
They're not the ones with the biggest crystal collection.
They're not meditating on a mountain somewhere.
They're just the ones who show up, and keep showing up. ✋🏼
The ones who practice.
The ones who use the tools (one of my fave sayings is "use the tools, don't be a tool"). 🔧
The ones who understand that healing is a journey, not a destination.
READY TO START YOUR OWN JOURNEY?
If you've been feeling called to learn Reiki, trust that nudge. 👉🏼
You don't need experience.
You don't need special abilities.
You don't need to have all your s**t together before you can start (I sure as s**t didn't!)
You just need a willingness to learn and an open mind. 🧠
My next Reiki 1 Workshop is on 20 June and I'd love to teach you the foundations that have helped hundreds of students create lasting change in their lives.
Deep healing doesn't come from collecting information.
It comes from doing the work.
And that first step might just be closer than you think.
