Usui Reiki training at the Riverside retreat
For some people, receiving Reiki is enough. For others, there comes a moment where you feel the pull to learn it for yourself – to have a tool you can use every day, and to support yourself and others in a deeper way.
That’s what my Reiki trainings at Riverside retreat space are for. They’re small, grounded, heart‐led days where you:
- Learn to practise Usui Reiki
- Gain Level 1 and Level 2 certifications
- Connect with other practitioners and a like-minded community
- Have space to rest, integrate and listen to your inner compass
“We had a beautiful introduction to Reiki. The space, the group energy and Sara’s guidance helped something awaken in us – we left feeling lighter, inspired and more connected.”

Reiki & Energy Masterclass - £40
The Reiki & Energy Masterclass is an experiential gathering combining a training and circle where we explore how energy, emotion and the nervous system work in real life – not just in theory. You’ll be guided through simple practices, self‑healing techniques, reiki principles, visualisation and gentle group processes and open discussion to feel more grounded, clear and resourced in your everyday world.
The Masterclass covers fundamental practices for inner peace and balance, but also has dedicated themes based on what common issues and blockages current clients and colleagues are dealing with – such as boundaries, overwhelm, intuition or receiving. The workshop blends teaching, reflection and live energy work. You’ll take home practical tools that you can use straight away, and the calm, steady feeling that comes from being in a room with others who “get it”.

How the trainings run
Trainings are held at my Riverside retreat space in Enfield. I keep groups small so everyone has space to ask questions, practise and be well supported. The day is a mix of teachings, practice for embodied learning, rest, nature and quiet reflection.
You’re not rushed. It’s very hands‐on – with self‐healing techniques, group practice shares and Reiki meditations.
We keep the trainings intimate so you can fully integrate the learning and the experience.
You’re nourished in an a small group setting, time by the river or in the woodlands, with space to let the attunements really land in your body.
Online Reiki Training - £150
For those who can’t easily travel, I also offer an online version of Reiki Level 1 and 2. We cover the same foundations, symbols and self‑healing practices via live Zoom sessions, with space for questions and guided practice. To receive a full practitioner certificate and recognised by insurers, you will need to complete at least one in person initiation and practice of approx 6-8 hours, but the online training gives you a powerful, flexible way to get the ball rolling and begin or deepen your existing healing or reiki journey from home.
Ongoing Circles & Support - £20
After training, you’re invited to join Reiki circles at the retreat space. This gives you somewhere to:
- Keep your practice alive
- Receive healing as well as give it
- Stay connected to others on a similar path
You don’t leave with just a certificate. You leave with a community and a place to return to.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Energy Masterclass circle?
A small group session where we explore a specific theme (like stress, boundaries or intuition) through teaching, self‑healing practices and gentle group energy work. It’s practical, grounded and designed to leave you feeling clearer and more resourced.
Do I need any experience to join an Energy Masterclass?
No. You don’t need to know anything about Reiki or energy work. Everything is guided and you can take part at your own pace.
What qualifies you to run an Energy Masterclass?
I’m a Reiki Master Teacher with over a decade of personal practice, and I’ve trained in advanced space holding with teacher Rita Hraiz. That work has taught me how to create grounded, sacred containers where people feel genuinely safe, seen and supported – not just “taught a technique”.
Alongside the Reiki symbols and hand positions, I bring experience in working cleanly with the energy field, guiding group processes and protecting the space, so that the healing feels both deep and steady for everyone involved. I have a lot of experience with people with complex addictions and emotional habits and behaviours which needs an extra layer of safety as they step into new trust.
What type of Reiki will I learn on Level 1 & 2 ?
I teach Usui Reiki, rooted in a clear, traceable lineage. My teacher is Judy Moehlenkamp Sturgis, who trained directly with William Lee Rand, founder of the International Center for Reiki Training and a key figure in the development of modern Western Reiki.
The lineage traces directly back to William Lee Rands teacher was Bethel Phaigh, who was initiated by Hawayo Takata that had a direct learnings from Mikao Usui himself.
That means what you learn has a solid traditional foundation connecting you directly to a well-respected line of practice.
What’s the difference between Reiki Level 1 and Level 2?
Reiki Level 1 focuses on you. It’s about self‑healing, learning how Reiki works, receiving your first attunement and practising hand positions on yourself (and family and friends). You leave with a daily tool to support your own energy, emotions and nervous system.
Reiki Level 2 goes deeper and opens the door to working with others. You learn the Reiki symbols, how to offer sessions safely, support emotional and mental healing, and send Reiki across distance. It’s also the level that prepares you to work as a practitioner if you choose, with a recognised certificate.
How is your approach different to other Reiki teachers?
My teaching blends clear lineage, grounded spirituality and advanced space holding. You won’t just sit in a lecture – we move between teaching, practice, rest and time in nature so your system can actually absorb what you’re learning.
Groups are small, the pace is unhurried, and there’s room for your questions and your real life integration. My background in space holding with Rita Hraiz means the class isn’t just “nice energy” – the container is held with care, boundaries and integrity, so you can relax and go deeper safely.
What’s the difference between Reiki Level 1 and the Energy Masterclass?
The Energy Masterclass is a shorter, themed circle for anyone interested in working with energy – it’s experiential, but not a certification. You’ll explore practices, receive healing and learn simple tools you can use straight away.
Reiki Level 1 is a full training day with attunements, written material and structured hand positions, leading to a certificate and a deeper commitment to daily practice.
How does Online Reiki training work?
We meet live on Zoom in a small group. I teach the Reiki foundations, guide you through practices and there’s time for questions and sharing. You’ll also receive support materials to help you integrate between sessions.
Will I get a certificate from online training?
You can receive a certificate for completing the online component. To become a fully insured practitioner, most insurers require some in‑person training and hands‑on practice. We can discuss how to complete those hours with me at Enfield once you’re ready.
Is online training as effective as in‑person?
Many people find online training just as powerful for learning the theory, self‑practice and symbols. In‑person time is most important for hands‑on confidence and meeting insurance requirements, which we can build in when the timing is right for you.
