Your Instructor – Meghan K. Mitchell
After years of studying various religions and philosophies, Meghan found Reiki as a way to heal from a traumatic experience in her life that took place at about the age of 22. She’d been stalked and developed mental health and major physical issues which affected her daily life. Reiki allowed her to take charge of not only her healing but her life as a whole. When she found the connection between energy healing and empowerment, she decided this was the path for her. She became a Reiki Practitioner during a time when Reiki was not well understood as a healing modality.
In an attempt to legitimize her Reiki healing, she went to school for Massage Therapy (after years of studying Business, Marketing, and Computer Information Systems) to get that oh-so-important license she believed people would find value in (no one has ever asked to even see it though it is always displayed in her office). Then Meghan went on to receive a bachelor’s degree in Counseling and Public Health, falling in love with education, energy, and the topic of self-healing and empowerment.
She has taught over 100 students ages 6 to 92 over the last fifteen-plus years she has been a Reiki Master Teacher. Her unique approach to the course (mirroring Usui’s own original teachings) allows students to build a true foundation in energy healing. They learn to connect with the energy and build it over multiple module sessions rather than one day or weekend.
Meghan’s philosophy is that with the assistance of a practitioner, people have the innate ability to heal themselves. She loves guiding people to learn this for themselves and then they will eventually, perhaps help other people, or themselves, in a similar manner.
How We’ll Learn
As Reiki is energy, it does not require us to be in person to learn and connect to Universal Life Force. This allows students to learn from the comfort of their own homes if they so choose, anywhere in the world.
Our 4 session course is held live via Zoom spanning a month’s time. This gives students time to acclimate to what they are learning, develop a new habit of self-healing and meditation, and incorporate all of this into their daily lives.
Lessons are available through our class portal and live classes will be held each week. The live classes will be recorded, however, breakout sessions will not, thus attendance is important though you can watch in your own time.

What is different about this course? ExpandOver fifteen years of teaching as well as continued learning has been brought into this certification. One of the major differences is that the course is spread out over a month’s time, allowing the student to incorporate the learnings as well as ask questions along the way. Another difference is that the classes are small or intimate which gives students a sense of safety during this self-healing period. Additionally, each student receives a brief Reiki healing prior to each class which will prepare their energetic, emotional, spiritual, and physical state for Reiki and learning. Students receive ongoing support and have the chance to practice distance healings with their peers that are offered every month or every other month.
What is the benefit of learning online? ExpandThe weekly classes are live via Zoom and are an intimate group allowing for experiential learning.

Additionally, we have an online platform where you can connect with students as well as graduates and ask questions.
What are the Reiki levels / degrees do you teach? ExpandMeghan teaches three levels / degrees.
In level 1: Shoden or First Teachings, the technique of Reiki Healing is designed for your own Self-Healing including self practice, plants, animals, food, spaces & crystals. This is practice is transformational. Once attuned to the energy, Reiki will be accessible to you for the rest of your life.
In level 2: Okuden or Inner Teachings, is about taking your Reiki practice to the next level (pun intended). Here you’ll learn advanced Reiki techniques, strengthen your connection to the universal life force, gain skills as a Reiki professional, and learn how to perform remote sessions.
In level 3: Shinpiden or Mystery Teachings, the student becomes a Reiki Master (and possibly a teacher if they prefer). In some cases, students will learn how to teach Reiki to others. Others simply want to deepen their connection and practice. This is not required and often only sought after years of developing a personal practice.
