Usui Reiki - invest in your holistic health for a lifetime
Reiki enhances your whole experience of life, living, and work.
The benefits of giving and receiving Reiki are accumulative. This means your life, work, relationships, and emotional and physical health will improve noticeably as a result of your daily self-treatment.
Reiki balances and harmonises all aspects of your emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical energy bodies simultaneously as the Reiki flows into your body.
Your relationship with yourself and others at home and the workplace improves as you more naturally flow in new creative ways on your path towards personal growth, happiness, fulfillment, and enlightenment.
Reiki has gained great credibility and professionalism
A Certification of Completion is given with every Usui Reiki Degree and is recognized by Reiki New Zealand Inc - the only national Reiki body in New Zealand.
The use of Reiki energy for personal and professional stress
reduction, enhancing creativity, problem-solving and therefore
profitability in business is a major contribution to the workplace.
A remarkable and permanent healing modality, Reiki may be learned in Degrees or levels which are usually taught over a weekend. The ability to channel Reiki is instant, it is emotionally and physically noticeable and lasts a lifetime after the First Degree Reiki Class.
'I was due to have a minor medical procedure.
After my daily Reiki self-treatments, my condition literally disappeared and healed much to the Doctor's confusion, who said, 'This is highly unusual'.

FAQs Usui Reiki First Degree Class
What’s the biggest takeaway from learning Reiki First Degree?
You walk away with something you can use for the rest of your life: Reiki in your hands, on tap. More calm. More clarity. More support for your body, mind, emotions, and spirit, whenever you need it.
How is this Usui Reiki First Degree class structured?
It’s taught over 3 days: two consecutive full days, plus one additional half-day, so you have plenty of time to appreciate and enjoy learning Reiki. You get built-in time to practice with each other and me, learn traditional Reiki tips and techniques, ask questions, and let it all land!
What makes your training feel different from other Reiki courses?
Three words: depth + attention + everything I've learnt over 30 years of teaching and practising Usui Reiki This training includes professional standards and guidance on Reiki energy responses, plus a small-group setting so you’re truly supported (not just 'processed' through a course). This is a very special win-win class!
How many people are in the class?
Only 2–4 students. That means you get plenty of hands-on practice, real feedback, rich knowledge and one-on-one help in a peaceful, nurturing environment. We cover a lot of information effortlessly in a nurturing environment, with a 1 hour lunch break each day.
Will I actually feel confident using Reiki after this?
Totally! Because you practise everything with me in Class. You’re guided step-by-step so your Reiki doesn’t stay theoretical or 'woo-woo'. It becomes something you can use simply and naturally, whenever you want to and wherever you are.
What will Reiki do for me personally?
Reiki supports the whole you. You’ll learn how to use it in ways that can positively affect you physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, and how daily self-Reiki can steadily lift the overall quality of your own life, health, happiness and wellbeing. Naturally.
Will I learn to give myself Reiki in more than one way?
Yes. You’ll learn a variety of self-treatments. Some are shorter (when you're pushed for time) and others are longer. There are full-body and chakra-based self-treatments, so you can work with what you need (and what time you’ve got). There are two or three simple, main ways you can give yourself Reiki treatments, with a few shorter variations, all recorded in your Manual for you. And which we practice together.
Can I give Reiki to my loved ones too?
Absolutely. You’ll learn how to give Reiki to friends and family beautifully, respectfully, confidently, and effectively, including seated Reiki treatments, which people tend to melt into (in the best way).
What’s included in my Usui Reiki Manual?
Your manual is a keeper. It’s a fully detailed Usui Reiki First Degree Class Manual, created from 30+ years of my ongoing, personal and professional Reiki experience. It's packed with simple, clear, diagrams, resources, and step-by-step guidelines for everything you learn.
Please note that Reiki NZ gives clear guidelines regarding what you learn at Usui Reiki First Degree. We cover all of those in depth and more, while keeping up to date with Reiki internationally as it grows. You'll love having such a detailed, comprehensive, resourceful Manual to take home and enjoy dipping into.
What do I receive after the training (certificate + support + perks)?
On completion, you’ll receive a professional Usui Reiki Ryoho 1st Degree Certificate to display, acknowledging your training and ability to practise Reiki professionally after a recommended integration period (often 6–12 months).
You’ll also receive a complimentary Reiki Review Class, plus access to regular, free Reiki Share Groups and Professional Development Days for ongoing practice and professional confidence-building. And yes, all my students receive 50% discounts on any Distant or in-person full Reiki treatments, with me, as well.
Is Reiki worth learning if I’m doing it just for me?
Yes. Honestly? That’s one of the best and main reasons to learn Reiki. If you’re craving steadiness, better sleep, calmer emotions, nervous system support, and a way to come back to yourself without needing anyone else to “fix” you, this is for you.
You’re not just taking a class. You’re learning a truly beautiful, gentle, powerful, life skill - daily support in your own hands, for the rest of your life.

How Reiki has changed their stress & family life to more peace and happiness
'I have absolutely loved learning Reiki from Yolanda
It's been life changing for me and it's helped me become healthier and happier. My intuition has increased and I'm feeling more like my authentic self with each day and more in a state of flow. I'm definitely more present in each moment too.
Reiki has not only helped me but my whole family
My autistic son Lucas had trouble sleeping and by the age of 5yrs old he had only slept a handful of times throughout the night but since giving him daily Reiki his sleep has improved drastically and he's now getting full night's sleep most night's - which has been a total game changer in our household.
I would absolutely recommend learning Reiki from Yolanda
Yolanda is very thorough in her teachings and you receive comprehensive manuals to help you on your journey. Another amazing thing is the on going contact Yolanda provides. If i ever have a question, i know Yolanda is just a phone call away.

Learning Reiki was much more powerful than I ever expected
I am more confident and empowered, I feel connected to the world, my senses are heightened and I am peaceful, calm and at ease.
I see beauty in everything
The power of Reiki has surprised me – the effect on both myself and others when I give us all Reiki. Reiki is so much more powerful than I ever knew – it’s amazing.
My mind has shifted hugely,
I seem to be always very happy now
I am noticing how much my happiness has increased. My relationship with my husband has strengthened – I share Reiki with him and our bond as a married couple has deepened and strengthened.
I am so much more optimistic and excited about life
I am more able to live in the moment and feel contented and peaceful. I can now easily listen to my body wants and needs, I nurture it and I don’t make it work physically like I used to.
Your Usui Reiki Lineage is important
As an experienced and professional Usui Reiki Teacher, Yolanda is dedicated to the spiritual, physical, emotional and mental health & wellbeing benefits this exceptional and beautiful Reiki energy brings to her Students.
Usui Reiki as taught by Yolanda is a direct lineage of the original Usui -Hayashi -Takata Lineage dated 1917 (see 'This is Reiki' by Frank Arjava Petter)
The Usui Reiki energy is passed from teacher to student in a direct ancestral line from the Founder of Usui Reiki, Mikao Usui Sensei.
Yolanda holds small Classes giving you more time to practice, understand, experience and respect the power of the flow of Reiki through your hands (and heart).
“So many long-term healings!
In my body, my relationships, and my efficiency at work!”
