FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions before you enroll?
Clarity for your journey. Find answers to common questions about prerequisites, schedules, and training paths.
Formats & Schedules
Who is this program for?
Our training is designed for absolute beginners, metaphysically curious seekers, and seasoned healing professionals alike. Whether you are seeking deep personal transformation or stepping into a career in professional energy work, our progressive offerings walk you through the skills development and healing tools you need. It is for everyone. It is for you.
Do your online classes use pre-recorded videos?
Absolutely not. Real-time, live interaction is essential to the energy transferance that is at the heart of the Reiki Hado or "energy wave" that descends from the founder, Mikao Usui. All classes are delivered live, and face-to-face, with interaction between you and the other students valued. You will practice techniques, ask questions, and shre energy alongside Amy, Rila and your whole cohort (yes, especially online).
There are video tutorials available in the Google Classroom to help remind you of techniques we covered in class, but no classes are delivered by recording.
What happens if I have to miss a class session?
Because our "SLOW Reiki" cohorts and intensives rely on progressive live placemetns, Holy Fire® ignitions, and hands-on practice, full live attendance is required to receive your formal certification. If an unforeseen emergency arises, please text Amy immeditately to discuss options.
Smaller cohorts may have the ability to flex their schedule here and there with the agreement of the rest of the group--this won't be feasible with larger classes. If the commitment is concerning, talk to Amy about options.
Private "make-up" sessions can be arranged in some cases, but may require additional payment.
Lineage & Prerequisites
I was trained in a different Reiki lineage. Can I take your advanced classes?
Yes! We warmly welcome practitioners from all backgrounds, lineages, and styles. Because our curriculum is progressive, you simply need to provide a copy of your highest prior certification when you register to enroll in your next advanced level.
New master-level students are required to take Reiki III with their master-level classes. This advanced techniques class also covers Amy's approach to energetic hygiene for client sessions and in teaching. This additional class puts you on even footing with students who studied with Emerge from day one.
Don't worry, you can take both the ART class and the Master level you want for the same price as the Master level alone (see bundles above).
What is the difference between the "SLOW Reiki" cohort and the intensives?
The SLOW Reiki Cohort is a 6-month transformational journey that meets weekly or every other week (depending on level) to give you ample time to practice, complete milestones, and weave Reiki into your daily lifestyle. This format is designed to help people who want to develop their skills more than check a certification box. Spreading out the class meetings gives you time to practice a technique at home, then return to class to share experiences, ask questions, and come up with next steps together.
The Practitioner Intensive is a condensed, full-day or weekend format designed specifically for experienced professionals (like those already seeing and helping clients one-on-one in other fields) who want to rapidly expand into Reiki offerings. Students in this track receive the same support materials as the SLOW Reiki cohorts, but are left to integrate outside of class meetings as they best see fit.
Continuing Education & Specialties
Can I take the Reiki Crystal or Reiki Sound Healing specialty classes right away?
The Specialty Classes require a foundation in Reiki Levels I and II (understanding the use of symbols, the basics of energetic hygiene, and comfort using the skills of those clases).
You can register for a Specialty Class at any time. However, Reiki II must be complete (show your certificate if taught elsewhere) by the first day of class.
Level IV of these Specialty Classes will require completion of a Holy FIre® Master or Karuna® Master class level.
What is the advanced Unity Fire Reiki Certification?
All students receive standard, internationally recognized certification by completing class. Our classes align with the ICRT curriculum, and cover all of the topics presented in official ICRT training manuals.
Dedicated practitioners are offered the option to earn additional certification by meeting practice milestones: Unity Fire Certification. Those who earn this certifcation are not only well-versed in the ICRT practices for their Reiki level, they have demonstrated a commitment to Reiki as a daily practice for themselves, their clients, and their community.
