Reiki Courses
I am a Reiki Master and Teacher, a member of the Reiki Evolution team of Teachers and I am commited 
to providing quality training courses for Reiki First Degree (Shoden), Second Degree (Okuden) and Master/Teacher (Shinpiden). Training is normally provided in small, relaxed groups with a maximum of 6 to a class. I am occasionally asked if I will teach small groups of 2 or 3 friends, and I am very happy to do that for you too. You have the benefit of lots of practice with different people but you still receive plenty of personal attention from me. Courses are in two parts: firstly a pre-course study pack which is then followed by an intensive, practical 'live' course held here at Leaf House.
The study packs consist of highly comprehensive manuals and accompanying audio CD/s which are produced by Taggart King of Reiki Evolution. The live component of your course will focus primarily on practical energy work which gives you the opportunity to put into practice all that you have learnt during the pre-course study.
This method gives you the best of both worlds as you learn at your own leisure and in the comfort of 
your own home, giving yourself the time to absorb the information and to ensure that you understand the basic principles. And of course, you won't have to listen to me wittering on about the history of Reiki on the day itself! At the live course, I will go over the main points briefly but mostly you will be receiving empowerments (or connections to the Reiki source), working with the energy and getting hands-on practice. And, by the end of the day, you will feel confident in your abilities to treat yourself and other people. Classes are relaxed, informal and friendly - we have some fun and laughter along the way too! The benefit of small class sizes means that there is plenty of opportunity for every student to ask questions and to receive personal attention throughout the day. At the end of the day, you will receive your high quality Certificate, together with details of your Reiki lineage.
To support my students, I hold regular, free Reiki Shares where you can come along and participate in a treatment - you get more hands-on practice as well as receive a treatment yourself; perhaps you might have stories to relate about your work with the energies following your course, or you might have questions to ask - we all benefit from the Shares no matter what level we have been attuned to! I provide weekly Distant Empowerments on a Saturday that all my students can receive. You will also receive an invitation to join Taggart King's Reiki Evolution Internet Discussion Group (no charge) - a large online forum when you can pose questions and join in online discussions about your journey with Reiki with like-minded people. Additionally, all my students have free ongoing support from me via email and phone.
Click on the links on the left hand side of this page to learn more about the individual Reiki courses I 
run. You will find the dates for the courses on each of these pages too. Courses are also possible by arrangement on dates other than those shown, including during the week. For whatever reason; family, work or other commitments, you may not be able to attend a course held on a weekend and would prefer a one-to-one course during the week. Call me on 01284 735388 and we can discuss a date to suit you.
*Thanks to all those students who have allowed themselves to be photographed during the courses and Shares!*

The topics covered, whilst being from the Manual, had an added input on the day; to be able to discuss, and to apply in an environment which felt secure. It has boosted my confidence and belief in this form of healing, and I very much look forward to developing myself in this area. Thank you so much.' Adam Beeton - Norfolk.

"Veronica was a wonderful teacher, who instantly made me feel at ease. I was made to feel very welcome. I found the course material easy to follow and together with the audio CDs and practical hands on training, I found the journey of learning Reiki 1st stage to be enjoyable and informative one. I didn't really know how I would feel at the end of my course, but I feel incredibly relaxed, happy and at peace with myself, which is in no small way due to Veronica and the manner in which she helped me learn and guided me through".

"I thoroughly enjoyed my second Reiki course and was made to feel very welcome. It was great to share the day too with Adam as it felt as though we were sharing a journey. The day has helped me to understand intent much better and how to extend the use of Reiki in my everyday life - I can't wait to get home and try it out. The pre-course materials were very helpful in preparation for the day and will serve as a useful reference for the future. Veronica is a wonderful teacher who encourages me and affirms and takes away any awkwardness or embarrasment that I might feel. I would recommend Reiki 1 and 2 to anyone - Thank you for a lovely day." Karen Jopling - Norfolk.
"Veronica was a very welcoming and a charming host. The day was very relaxing and informative and provided a wonderful introduction to the world of Reiki. I see it as the first cornerstone of my spiritual self-development and am looking forward to learning more, progressing to Reiki 2 and to finding myself. I can see why so many people speak in such positive terms about Reiki. My challenge now is to practise what I have learnt today and to benefit from the healing process. I need to prioritise my life and to introduce Reiki and maintain it in my life." Kate Hartley - Suffolk
