Reiki Philadelphia
Personal Growth Alternatives offers Reiki certification and Holistic Integrative Breathing certification to beginners and master practitioners alike. Our Integrative Breathing and Reiki courses are highly personalized and all of our students receive extensive one-on-one training as a result of our smaller class sizes. Our Reiki School has offered these certifications since 2001. We’ve taught hundreds of students many of whom have gone on to become master practitioners and teachers themselves.
Below, you will find a brief description of each of the courses we teach. You can check our schedule and register for classes and/or workshops directly on our calendar page here.
Reiki is hands on energy healing. It can also be done a couple of inches off the body as well as absentee long distance healing. Dr. Mikao Usui founded Reiki in the mid-nineteenth century. He was searching for the ancient secret of healing. It was in the Indian sutras, written in Sanskrit, where he discovered a formula for contacting a higher power that could bestow healing.
