“After four decades of attending workshops and post-graduate seminars, Clara is one of the best professional teachers I’ve met. She has researched extensively and provides a compelling historical account of Reiki and at the same time gently guides her students to new levels of understanding of life force energy. She’s a phenomenal teacher. If you can get in, take her workshop!”     — Dawn M., Administrator

Reiki 1

“I loved Reiki 1 and would recommend this class to anyone. The pace was perfect with practice and lecture. The time flew by.”     — Carrie F.

Reiki can be learned by anyone, and it is a beautiful way to care for self and others. Employing light touch, Reiki sessions bring universal energies into the body to gently balance the system and increase vitality. Reiki is an excellent complementary method for many conditions, and can be very helpful for people dealing with stress, immune challenges, and illness and injury recovery.

I teach in one of the most traditional and thorough Reiki styles. Reiki 1 curriculum includes self-treatment, treating other people, and treating animals and plants. I teach in-person Reiki at The Maker Farm in Pepperell, Massachusetts. My next class will be on two full Sundays: September 28 and October 5.  (See “Reiki at the Farm” below).

Reiki 1 can also be taught virtually, and many people find this way of learning to be very convenient. Virtual Reiki 1 consists of 6 online small-group online meetings of 2 hours each. Handouts are available and brief, pleasant homework is given between meetings. Tuition is sliding scale $250-$150 for the entire class (12 hours total). My next virtual class will likely be during January and February 2026. However, if you are interested in training sooner than that, you can contact me via this website. We can often set up a small class if I receive a couple of requests.

“I am so happy Clara is offering her courses virtually. There couldn’t be a better time to learn this powerful modality for reducing stress and anxiety. Learning from home in a small group format was highly enjoyable. The course material was clear and concise, making it easy to incorporate Reiki into my life immediately. When I am feeling stressed or overwhelmed, I perform self-Reiki. It promotes a feeling of inner calm and peace, and Reiki before bed helps me sleep through the night. I have also used Reiki for pain relief for myself and my family, with success. I highly recommend Clara’s online Reiki 1!” — Suzanne F.

Reiki 2

“Reiki 2 was an outstanding professional workshop filled with comprehensive information and time to practice. Clara always brings enthusiasm to her classes!” — Beth F.

My branch of Reiki is unusual in that Reiki 2 includes complete traditional procedures for increasing energy transmission, for distant treatment, and for mental and emotional treatment. Our distant procedures allow specific and effective sessions with people and animals, regardless of their location. Our mental and emotional techniques allow sending a targeted positive message to a recipient in order to replace destructive thoughts and encourage habit change. Reiki 2 techniques can be used on others and on oneself and are important tools for better health and personal growth.

Reiki 2 is available to my Reiki 1 graduates, or to others from a similar Reiki lineage with my permission. Those from different lineages can also attend, but they might need an independent study beforehand to become familiar with Reiki 1 procedures in our lineage. My next in-person Reiki 2 class will be on October 26 and November 2 2025. (See “Reiki at the Farm” below.)

The virtual Reiki 2 class consists of 6 online small-group online meetings of 2 hours each. Handouts are sent ahead of time and brief, pleasant homework is given between meetings. Tuition is sliding scale $225-$375. If you’re interested, please contact me via this website.

“I thought it would be hard to do distant Reiki, but it turned out to be fairly easy, once I knew the procedures. Then I thought that it would just be able to induce a little bit of relaxation, but it appeared to have substantial effects. Distant Reiki helped my cat, who was a traumatized rescue, become more comfortable with me and her new home. I also shared distant Reiki with my niece, who was having health challenges and emotional upset. She felt the treatments, and told me that she was emotionally clearer afterwards. She was able to be more calm as she navigated through the medical system.” — Sammi L.

Reiki at the Farm

I am happy to announce a beautiful collaboration between my Reiki school and The Maker Farm, a livestock rescue farm in Pepperell, Massachusetts. The curriculum of our Farm Reiki classes are complete, in that we address how to give Reiki to humans and to non-human animals. Students will have an opportunity to practice on a variety of species, including horses, mini-horses, goats, and humans. The animals at the Farm are truly special — friendly and accustomed to attention, including Reiki.

My next in-person Reiki 1 class will be on two entire Sundays: September 28 and October 5. Tuition is $275. Twenty-five percent of tuition goes directly to upkeep of rescue animals on the Farm. The next in-person Reiki 2 class will be on two entire Sundays: October 26 and November 2.

For those who already have at least Reiki 1 training, we have Reiki Practices at the Farm, at The Maker Farm in Pepperell MA. This is a chance to practice Reiki with humans and/or nonhuman animals. It’s a great way to hone Reiki skills. We will resume monthly practices in March 2025. Tuition is a sliding fee of $20-$40. To register, or for questions, you can contact me via this website. 

Advanced Reiki Practitioner Certification

This in-depth certification program is designed to take Reiki 2 graduates to the next level as Reiki practitioners and also in their personal growth. Graduates will be able to practice Reiki to a professional standard. 

The program is 8 months long and includes 6 topic classes on a variety of Reiki-related topics, 6 practices, 6 individual supervision sessions. It does not include testing or evaluation, but attendance at (most) classes and completion of the practicum and individual supervision hours are required for certification. 

It is possible to take the entire course over Zoom. However, in-person practice sessions are also available for local students.

Schedule: We start in July 2025, but I am registering students through August. Contact me via this website to inquire about registration. 

Topics covered in classes: Optional positions in depth; basic information about meridians, chakras and aura; advanced crystal use (grids and on-body), space-clearing; working with Guides; interviewing and listening skills; ethics; and basic micro-business practices. Students can also request class time be dedicated to other areas where they have questions or interests. 

Tuition: sliding fee $1,000 – $1,500, payment by installment allowed. Scholarship funds might be available — feel free to inquire.

Reiki Master Practitioner:
Graduates of this program will have the option of continuing for another 3 months of instruction
leading to the credential of Reiki Master Practitioner. In the RMP program, students learn how to
perform the Reiki 1 attunement procedure, and are able to perform this procedure on individuals
who want to use Reiki for self-care. The RMP credential does not allow the teaching of Reiki,
but is a necessary step for those who want to do a Master Teacher apprenticeship.

Making the Most of Our Reiki Time

Class recording is now available, along with a virtual Q&A session. Sunday, October 20, 7:00-9:00pm Eastern Time. This topic class is for Reiki 2 graduates, and covers special techniques to increase efficiency: scheduling, stacks, and automatic treatments. It’s very useful to schedule sessions for a time in the future. We can also stack more than one link and give Reiki to more than one person concurrently. We can even set up automatic Reiki treatments, which will automatically send Reiki for at least 20 minutes and possibly several hours. This class is open to Reiki 2 graduates from my Reiki lineage or other similar lineages. Tuition: sliding fee $60 – $40. 

Support for Reiki Practitioners

I am committed to providing ongoing support for my students. Our connection to Reiki continues to grow gradually, with ongoing practice and contact with our teachers. I offer two different formats: in-person practices in Pepperell, Massachusetts, and virtual practices via Zoom.

For those who already have at least Reiki 1 training, we have Reiki Practices at the Farm, at The Maker Farm in Pepperell MA. This is a chance to practice Reiki with humans and/or nonhuman animals. It’s a great way to hone Reiki skills. Dates upcoming are TBA. Tuition is a sliding fee of $20-$40. For more information, contact me.  

Reiki Virtual Practices are online meetings open to my Reiki graduates or to others from similar Reiki lineages.  We begin with self-care and meditation, then we check in and collaborate to Reiki-treat individuals and situations. I am sometimes available for those who wish to stay for reiju. Cost is sliding fee $10-$30, payable through PayPal, Venmo, or by check. RSVPs are appreciated but not required. For more information or for the Zoom link, contact me.  

Student Consults. Students often have detailed questions about self-care or about working with loved ones. During consults, we talk about the issues that are arising, if appropriate I do a distance session, and then recommendations are given for the student’s ongoing self-care or for care of the loved one. This can help to increase effectiveness of Reiki. 

“From the first moment I stepped into Clara’s class, I felt her compassionate and generous energy flowing toward her students. Her knowledge, skill, and connection to the lineage of Reiki created a learning experience that was genuine and comprehensive. I feel confident and supported in treating myself and others with Reiki.”     — Meghan S., Teacher

Fire Ceremony

During fire ceremony, we transform energies, patterns, and behaviors that we no longer want to carry by ceremonially putting them into fire. We can also visualize new energies and behaviors. The atmosphere is casual and social. The practice is ancient and powerful. 

I periodically schedule fire ceremonies that are open to the public. If you are interested in doing fire ceremony for your family, work group, or for a special event, feel free to contact me for more information.

Classes to Explore the World of Energy

Energy Body First Aid. We all experience moments of overwhelm. What can we do for ourselves in those moments to calm ourselves, to more quickly return to balance, and to be able to respond better? Traditional healing practices give us wonderful options for returning to a more relaxed and integrated state, and many of these techniques are easy and quick. Life feels so much more manageable when we have go-to practices for these difficult moments! If you’re interested in this class for a group event or staff meeting, you can contact me for more information.

Shamanic Journey. Many traditional cultures speak of three worlds. The lower world is the consciousness of the planet herself. The upper world is the angelic realm. The middle world is where we live, here on planet Earth. Shamanic traditions include methods for us to travel to other worlds and other dimensions. In this 2-hour virtual class, we use the hypnotic beat of a drum to help us journey and meet spirit guides, such as power animals or light beings, who can help us with everyday issues and spiritual matters. If you’re interested in this class for a group event or staff meeting, you can contact me for more information.

Crystals for Well-Being and Transformation. Crystals can be amazing allies in our search for wellness. Not only are they beautiful and infinitely varied, but their ability to transmit natural resonances adds a powerful dimension to our healing practices. In this class, we cover the basics of how to choose, use, and care for crystals, including understanding the properties of popular stones, finding the best stones for your individual needs, using crystals to energetically clear spaces, using crystals for physical and emotional wellness, and keeping stones in good condition. If you’re interested in this class for a group event or staff meeting, you can contact me for more information.

Space Clearing. Have you ever walked into a building or a room and immediately wanted to walk back out again? Or have you found that particular spaces bring a sense of lightness and calm? Our energies affect the spaces where we live and work, and spaces can become overburdened with congested energies. These energies, in turn, affect us. The good news is that energy in spaces can be balanced and transformed. Traditional healing practices offer a wide variety of methods for improving the character and the flow of energies in buildings. In this 90-minute virtual class, we cover the basics of clearing energy and bringing light into spaces. A variety of techniques are presented, for flexibility and ease of use. Attendees will gain the ability to create a better energetic environment in their homes and offices. If you’re interested in this class for a group event or staff meeting, you can contact me for more information.

Angels and Guides. We are never alone. Light beings coexist with us. Some are angels, divine beings of the light realms. Some are animal spirits and other beings linked with the consciousness of the planet. We share the middle world, this planet earth, with nature spirits and a diverse group of beings that are not physically embodied. For millennia, humans have perceived these beings and have sought harmonious relationships with them. Working with light beings can enrich one’s spiritual experience and provide support through the many challenges of life. These beings can give us practical help, and they are tremendous allies for energy workers. In this 90-minute virtual class, we will explore the variety of light beings present in the universe and ways to connect with them. If you’re interested in this class for a group event or staff meeting, you can contact me for more information.
