This three-week training combines the foundational teachings of Usui Reiki and Yoga, with the 5 Key Components to living your soul's purpose in harmony with the Earth. This course is for those seeking real spiritual growth, deep personal healing, and guidance beginning their path in energy work.
It’s for people who are ready to step into the role of Healer. Those who may have repeated the same life lessons over and over and really want to “get it” on the multi-faceted levels of the physical, mental, emotional, energetic, and spiritual.
This course is different from other Reiki trainings because it’s not completed in a weekend of cramming a lot of knowledge into a small time frame. This course gives you time to learn, digest, and integrate the wisdom you gain. It brings the knowledge into an accessible, understandable, meaningful experience that lasts for six weeks and creates a container for ongoing connection with kindred spirits.
We will meet Wednesday and Friday evenings for 90 minutes from 6-7:30pm starting Wednesday, September 16 and completing on Friday, October 2 for a total of 9 hours of training.
In this course, you will learn:
The history and principles of Usui Reiki
How to channel Reiki for self-healing
How to offer Reiki to others, including people, plants, food, and intentions
Understanding the chakra system and basic energy anatomy
Techniques for sensing and working with subtle energy

Connection is a core part of this training. Your inner guidance is amplified by community connection and a sense of belonging. It’s a powerful practice to listen to your inner voice while in a supportive group. Deep held beliefs rise to the surface and truths and dreams that were once cloudy become more clear. This is a fertile ground for planting seeds that grow into beautiful new life paths. You will learn as much from the group as you learn from the training itself.

Led by Caressa Joyce, a Reiki Master, with over 29 years of experience in Usui Reiki healing. She is also a licensed massage therapist and 500 E-RYT yoga teacher who has studied extensively in Chi Gung, Jin Shin, Ayurveda, Yoga Philosophy, and Traditional Thai Yoga bodywork.
As Cleveland's visionary Somatic Ceremonialist, Caressa brings the gifts of a diverse lineage and a trauma-informed background to create a safe container supporting students in their development. Caressa weaves together the wisdom of ancient ritual arts such as altar-building, nature veneration, and meditation with modern somatic healing practices to create nurturing spaces that honor and integrate transformations of all types.
Her offerings arise at the crossroads of her initiations into caregiving and motherhood, her training as an artist and ritualist, her yoga and massage therapy practices, and her reverence for the flora and fauna of the natural world, to create a grounded yet spiritually rich learning environment. Her teaching style is intuitive, empowering, and heart-centered, helping students build confidence in their own energetic sensitivity and healing abilities.
Caressa is an experienced guide who knows how to hold space, encourage participation, and keep things moving with purpose.

This training prioritizes comfort, safety, and respect with a trauma- informed somatic foundation. This means you can show up as you are and fully engage in the process of learning. Sitting side by side and shoulder to shoulder, as we listen to each other’s voices and experiences we cultivate compassion and support. In the tender space between us, we expand our capacity to understand one another by celebrating the diversity of our various experiences. In a society that tries to divide us, through competition and insecurity, this practice of coming together helps us realize the beauty in each other and in ourselves.

This course doesn’t give you a soul makeover - You already are the wise and powerful person that you want to be. What this course does is offer you the tools to bravely dive deeper into your shadows, your desires, and your strengths. It meets you where you’re at and helps you peel back the layers of societal conditioning that get in the way of your innate connection to Spirit. You don’t need anyone gatekeeping wisdom from you - you hold it all inside of you already. This is an opportunity to tap into it in a supported, nurturing environment.

F.A.Q's : Your Questions, Answered-
This program is designed for both total beginners and seasoned energy workers. You don’t need to be an expert before starting though I encourage you book an appointment with me to experience a reiki session for yourself before committing to the training if it’s completely new to you. You’ll be guided step by step in how to give a reiki healing session with structure, confidence, and integrity. If you are already doing some kind of healing work, such as massage, physical therapy, or yoga teaching, this work will expand your understanding, hone your intuition, and deepen your connection to Spirit.

In addition to the foundational training of the Usui Reiki tradition found in typical courses, this program also teaches the history, culture, and reverence practices of Earth-based wisdom without white-washing or bypassing significant information. Another benefit is that it is spread out over the course of three weeks, instead of one day, which gives you time to really sit with and practice what you’ve learned. Finally, as a person of the global majority and an LGBTQ ally, I am sensitive to and supportive of the experiences of a wide variety of people.

You don’t have to feel ready to begin. This course offers so much information and practical experience that will benefit all areas of your life, even if you choose never to offer reiki to another person. It’s your choice how you wish to utilize the experience. That being said, the level of training and support you will receive will likely give you the confidence to feel ready. This course helps to build your intuition so you will learn to trust your unique timing and abilities, knowing if and when you are truly ready. The work you do in our three weeks together will bring you clarity and a deep connection to the loving forces that guide your life.
