Our Reiki 1 course consists of 15 hours (over two days) and includes the following:
If you wish to continue training in Reiki, you will have to carry out 30 treatments after Reiki 1, and it is recommended that you leave a minimum of 4 months between Reiki 1 and Reiki 2.

Reiki 1 treatment
”I couldn't recommend this course enough, so much learnt in a short time, didn't want it to end !“
Tracey Loveday-fone April 2024 Llanfairtalhaiarn”I was full of anxiety, was quite disconnected. I didn't have high expectations as I felt really shut down and I think quite a few of us were nervous too. Sarah was wonderful at putting you at ease, she was really good at explaining, and just getting us to have faith in ourselves. The course was a really magical experience for me. I feel a lot more connected to myself and more centred...and most importantly I actually gave Reiki to someone and they were beaming afterwards, seeing that smile was such a lovely feeling.“
Jacqui Waller April 2024 Llanfairtalhaiarn”The course was everything I imagined and more. Jane is a wonderful teacher; very easy going, friendly, knowledgeable and approachable. The mixture of the hands on practise, theory and general conversation made the course very enjoyable. Thank you Jane for sharing your skill, knowledge and wisdom with us. I am over the moon that I started my reiki journey with you and I am so grateful for your guidance.“
Jewls Reut February 2024 Liverpool”I would like to say how very much I enjoyed the 2 day "Reiki" course at Ince Benet, with Jane Butler.
From the moment I arrived I felt very comfortable. The other girls on the course were very friendly and Jane's welcoming approach made me feel very much at ease.
She was very informative and was generous with her knowledge of "Reiki" throughout the course and it gave me the confidence to complete the hands on sessions with my fellow students.
The friendships I experienced during the 2 days were invaluable and going forward the knowledge and skills I learnt have equipped me with the confidence to practice "Reiki" on my family and friends, (as well as myself).
I would highly recommend this course with Jane at ince benet. The surroundings are perfect, from the building itself to the acres of Greenland and forest, it is so quiet and peaceful. This makes it an ideal place for a perfect learning experience and with Jane's extensive knowledge of "Reiki", what more do you need.“
”This course was recommended to me as one of the best reiki courses available and I can see why. Carolyn is a very patient and kind teacher and I felt I could ask anything without feeling stupid. The course materials were thorough without being overwhelming and I particularly loved getting to try out some of the things we talked about such as pendulums, gongs and singing bowls. The rest of the class were like-minded, positive people and we all connected well which made the practical parts of the course really nice. I initially took this course just to fulfill my own curiosity but I am now planning on taking my learning much further as I can see the benefits of training in reiki. Yes it was a two day course but it felt like I was taking those two days just for myself. If you are considering booking I would 100% recommend that you do.“
Susan Clarke 4 Feb 2022”Carolyn shared so much wisdom, experience and knowledge I felt I learn so much over the two days. I loved all the practices experiencing giving and receiving reiki. Carolyn was so welcoming and created such a supportive and safe environment. Thank you for beautiful two days.“
Sally Chappell (Mello yoga) 4 Feb 2022”Carolyn’s approach to teaching harbours the perfect blend of professionalism, knowledge, encouragement and guidance for spiritual growth. Studying at Gaia School has been a totally enjoyable and insightful experience, where I felt 100 % supported every step of the way. This course is delivered in a way which is very thorough and extremely interesting. It’s been such an enjoyable and insightful experience. Expect to feel fully equipped with all the knowledge and experience you could ever wish for to begin your Reiki journey. Thank you Carolyn. “
Nicky, Reiki 1 Graduate, Reiki 2 student 2021 Google review rating”This has opened up a new understanding of energy, connection and the human body for me. Carolyn is an excellent teacher, I highly recommend this course if you feel called.“
Ali Bell”This was an excellent course. Informative, sensitively delivered, good support for students, and great group atmosphere. Am so pleased I have been part of this and look forward to practicing Reiki on myself.“
Gwen Williams”An enjoyable course meets the needs of those wishing to progress further & for those who wish to use the learnings personally.“
