Is Prior Experience Necessary?
No prior experience is required for Reiki Level 1.
Each level builds upon the previous, so sequential training is essential for optimal learning.
4
What Is Reiki?
Reiki is a universal energy that is channeled through the reiki master from divine source.
It is a very pure source of healing and is activated through reiki symbol attunements.
5
Why Become Reiki Attuned?
Empowers you with reiki energy, improves your energetic frequency, self-healing and also can be used for healing clients, including distance healing.
6
I’m Already A Healer/Therapist, Will It Help?
Yes, it is recommended as it is seen as complementary to other healing modalities. Usually the attunements & symbols increase the healing power of the practitioner. The feedback from previous students include, massage therapists who say their clients can feel the difference.
7
Will I Be Able To Give Reiki Healing Sessions Afterwards To Clients?
Yes, as soon as you have received Reiki 1 you will be able to give healing as a Reiki 1 practitioner.
Usually, I recommend that you gain experience with friends and family so you get use to how reiki energies channel through you.
During the course you will find after the attunment you will notice your hands start to become hot as soon as you place your intention to use Reiki to heal.
However, it is recommended you also learn Reiki 2 as you will then be able to use the reiki healing symbols, and then Reiki Masters as this will give you additional symbols, distant healing abilities, plus you can teach and attune others!
Plus the amount of healing energies that flow through you will be greater.
Are attunements for life, yes, once you have been attuned, you are attuned for life and have the ability to channel reiki energies.
8
How Soon Can I Start Practising Professionally?
After Level 2 completion, it is recommended you can begin professional practice, however some people start after reiki 1.
I recommend gaining experience with friends and family first, then gradually expanding your client base as confidence grows.
9
What Are The Reiki Symbols?
The Reiki symbols are put into your energy field on each course, this will create greater access to universal energies for healing and general wellbeing.
Reiki 1 you will receive 3 symbols during the attunement, during reiki 2 you will be given these symbols to use on the day of the training. As with tradition, they are to be shared through the reiki master during attunements.
10
I Don’t Want To Do Reiki On Clients, Will It Still Be Of Benefit To Me?
Yes, absolutely! Being reiki attuned will help support your energy and it will enable you to give self healings.
Some people like to use reiki on themselves daily after the course, however it is not necessary.
It is recommended after reiki 1 course that you give yourself reiki everyday for 21 days. I find students that do this really benefit.
11
Can I Be Attuned Online?
I have seen this offered, however, I prefer to attune each person as this transfers the lineage and attending an attunement course is more fun as you learn how to use the reiki healing on each other.
You will receive and give reiki healing during each course as part of the training and its also a wonderful way to learn the method of reiki. Plus I find with students it really does give you the confidence that you can channel the reiki healing as the other reiki students will give you the feedback.
Normally the feedback includes, that hands feel really hot, and they can feel energy moving in their body as the positive reiki energies enter the body.
if you are unable to attend reiki courses in Richmond, then please contact me for online private personal attunement options.
12
How Do I Do Reiki Healings?
You will learn on the course how to give a reiki healing to your self (reiki 1) and to others.
On each course we use the healing reiki table so i can show you the process I use with reiki clients and so it is easy for you to replicate.
I have personally been practicing reiki healing with clients for 20 years now and will show you the process i use, including the music I recommend and other healing techniques I incorporate for the best reiki treatment.
13
Can Animals Be Attuned To Reiki?
Yes, animals are very responsive to reiki and can be attuned. My previous dog Tiffany was reiki 1 attune! If you are interested in me attuning your pet or giving your pet reiki please contact me.
Please note I do have a 3 year old cocker spaniel, called Lucky, who will be in the house during the reiki training course, he is excited when people arrive and then is calm throughout the training, usually snoozing with 1 eye open!
I find all the reiki students love his energy as he is very loving and sweet natured.
14
Who Is My Trainer?
Reiki Master, Jo Ward will be doing the attunements for you.
I have been attuned to reiki myself since 2002, and giving reiki healing sessions for 20 years.
I use reiki every day and have found it to be a natural healing modality that can easily be incorporated into daily living.
If you would like a 121 Reiki healing appointment with Jo, please ring/text: +44 7738 643824 for availability.
15
What Support Is Available After Training?
Ongoing support is available, you can message me by text, Whatsapp or email for any questions you have after the course.
I usually find the course is so comprehensive that the graduates have all the knowledge and confidence to be a Reiki healer.
If you are planing on giving Reiki sessions to clients, then it is recommended to have healing insurance. On the course, I will give you the company I use in the UK, however there are many options available, and choose which is most appropriate for you.
16
What Reiki Lineage Will I Be Receiving?
You receive the Dr Usui lineage. (as shown on this website)
I am also happy to email you the reiki lineage upon request prior to the course, otherwise, you will be given it during the course.
17

Recommend Minimum 14-28 Days Between Reiki 1 & Reiki 2 Training:
After your Reiki 1 attunement, your energy begins to flow in a new, expanded way. This is a time of deep integration, physically, emotionally, and spiritually, as your vibration adjusts and the Reiki energy aligns with your system.
Traditionally, a period of around 21–28 days is recommended between Reiki 1 and Reiki 2 to allow this natural energetic cleansing to complete. However, every student’s journey is unique.
If you feel balanced, grounded, and intuitively ready to continue sooner, you may progress to Reiki 2 after a minimum of 14 days, or even complete both levels within a Reiki 1 & 2 combined weekend.
Jo will always tune in and guide you personally to ensure the timing feels right for your energy and your path.
Stepping into Reiki Master Level (Reiki 3) is a sacred commitment. It’s not only about learning advanced symbols or new techniques, but about embodying Reiki as a way of life and being ready to hold space for others with deep spiritual presence.
At Jo Ward’s Reiki Master course in London, students are encouraged to take time between Reiki 2 and Reiki 3 to integrate, practise, and prepare for the next level of energy.
Deep Integration of Reiki 2: After Reiki 2, you’ll have learned sacred symbols and the ability to send Reiki across time and space. This phase helps you fully embody their vibration, gain confidence in professional practice, and strengthen your intuitive connection.
Personal Growth & Transformation: Many students experience profound energetic and emotional shifts following Reiki 2. Allowing around 3–6 months before starting Reiki Master training gives you time to integrate, stabilise, and deepen your personal growth.
Preparing for the Master Attunement: The Reiki Master attunement carries a powerful, high-frequency energy. Taking time to ground and refine your vibration ensures you receive it feeling centred, open, and ready.
Honouring Tradition, Allowing Flow: Traditional Usui Reiki lineages encourage patience between levels, yet Reiki meets each student where they are. Some feel ready sooner; others choose to wait longer. Jo will always tune in personally to ensure the timing aligns with your readiness and spiritual path. This ensures you embody Reiki, rather than just "collecting" levels.
Recommended: A minimum of 3 months between Reiki 2 and Reiki Master training is suggested, with 6–12 months ideal for full embodiment and preparation for teaching Reiki to others.
20
Is Reiki An Alternative From Traditional Medical Care?
Reiki is seen as a complementary healing modality, and is not an alternative or replacement to professional medical care.
Yes, I have seen many 121 clients who have come for Reiki, when they couldn't find a solution along the traditional route, and had success with this. However, it is always recommended that conventional care is used in conjunction.
Sometimes, energetic shifts can be subtle, so experiences will vary. There is no guarantee, and I would only every recommend you see clients based on the fact you are open to giving it a go. Having said this I have also witnessed and experienced many miraculous changes with clients, and my own personal experience.

Happy Students…
"Jo is just incredible and full of knowledge. I felt completely comfortable with her and she taught me so much so I’m forever grateful. I would recommend Jo 100%."
- Kelly Tomlin, 2025, Reiki Level 1 Course
“Jo is one of the best Reiki masters I have had the privilege of meeting and you are so safe in her loving healing hands! Her Reiki channel is pure joy and love and such a pleasure to receive. Jo has helped me through my healing journey as well as became the master that taught me my Reiki level 2 attunement!”
- Ashley Walter, 2024, Reiki Level 2 Course
"I came to see Jo in June 2019 with my friend Keith, we attended Reiki level 1. And Reiki level 2 in July 2019 and in August 2019 our Reiki Masters. Her knowledge and dedication to spirituality and healing are outstanding. She is warm and welcoming and fun to be with. She is a remarkable lady and interactive with you throughout the whole course. An honest and genuine approach.
We are both healers with the SNU spiritualist church, Now that we are both attuned with all our Reiki symbols. It has made immense different to our healing energy power, it is stronger and the heat is far stronger than before. I for one used the Reiki power symbols on my exams and had outstanding results which helped me pass 20 exams needed to pass my coursework.
We both highly recommended Jo with all of our hearts. She is the real deal and now has become a wonderful friend. Thank you for helping attune us to Reiki Usui.”
- David & Keith, 2019, Reiki Masters Course
"I did a Reiki 1 & 2 courses with Jo and can say without question it is one of the best things i have ever done for myself in my life! The outcomes from it have already within a short time have been simply extraordinary.
Jo is a wonderfully fun and magical teacher, and imparts her knowledge with love and pure joy. I recommend it highly. It gave me complete clarity and focus of exactly where i am right now on my journey in life.
It was as if a curtain of confusion was lifted."
- Maria, 2018, Reiki Levels 1 & 2 Course
"I completed the Reiki Masters course with Jo in August 2019. I had been looking for a Reiki course for about 3 years before I landed on Jo's website, and the moment I saw Jo's site I knew she was the Reiki Master for me. Learning this healing system from her, in the company of like-minded people has been a pure joy!
Jo is a very welcoming, warm person, and she has deep knowledge about many healing and spiritual techniques aside from Reiki, this gives her a myriad of tools with which she helped us learn.
We did many fun experiments using Reiki on water which I have since replicated at home to the amazement of friends and family. The classes were never boring, information was provided in a clear and down to earth way and the reference material Jo gave us during the course was easy to understand and has given me a wealth of information about Reiki and its practical uses.
I would recommend Jo's Reiki courses to anyone interested in learning Reiki for themselves or to heal others. It was a wonderful experience!
I am very grateful that Jo has chosen to share her knowledge and her light with the world."
- Paula P. 2019, Reiki Masters Course
"For several years I have been interested in understanding Energy and energy healing. I was mainly reading about it and having Reiki performed on me. I could certainly see the benefits both emotionally and physically. However, I never felt as I was ready to become Reiki attuned for some reason. This changed over the last few months, having met Jo.
Jo shared with me some of her incredible knowledge of the Universe and energy healing. Jo has a unique and humble way to do this. As I learned and observed, I started to see important changes in myself – emotionally, sensing and feeling energies I had been unaware of before.
3 months ago I felt ready to be Reiki 1 attuned. Jo was the natural Reiki Master I felt confident to have my attunement done with. Thorough the day Jo explained all that would happen and ensured I was comfortable and understanding of the process.
Since being Reiki attuned I have performed it on myself every day and onto loved ones. It has greatly helped me and has brought comfort to those around me. I will pursue this journey, with Jo by my side, to do Reiki 2 and hopefully Master Reiki. The door that Jo has opened into reaching to the Universe and its incredible energy is one I will not close.
Reiki is a wonderful energy medicine and I was proven that again only days ago as I suffered from an important eye problem. When I arrived in A&E and saw the doctor they could not believe I was not in pain. I shared with them that I had been performing reiki on myself and all the pain was gone. Jo saw me the day after and performed Reiki on me. Within 3 hours most of the swelling was gone, and I am now fully recovered. T
his is a beautiful journey that Jo has helped me to take and I will forever be thankful to have been sent such a humble Master to support my journey."
