The Reiki Master's Training Program does not have a specific time frame; it is more of an organic process that allows each student to move through the program at their own pace. Some students have moved through the program in as little as ten months others have chosen to go more slowly and train for three years.

Attending Reiki classes, completing a  written assignment, doing Reiki treatments, and private  consultations with your teacher are all part of the training program. There is one initiation at the Reiki Master Level.

When you learn the first three levels of Reiki you are focused on your personal healing and how you can share Reiki with others. In the Reiki Masters Training Program you will revisit the teachings from the perspective of understanding the teachings in order to teach Reiki to others.

The program is practical; I ask that you attend as many Reiki classes as possible. I will give you a written assignment which covers the topics from First Degree Reiki. Through this assignment you will have an opportunity to be accountable for each aspect of the foundation of the practice from First Degree Reiki and the additional teaching that goes with that level of training.

It is important to understand that I can not make you a Reiki Master. The training program is an organic process that paves the way for the Reiki Master that is inside of you to rise to the surface. There is no way to predict how this may occur for anyone as the process is very individual.
  "When we enter into the Reiki Practice the body will respond and
   whatever we wish to attain will be within our reach."
