Reiki Path & Practice Coaching
Choose your Path to
Optimal Wellness & Success
Why Reiki Coaching?
While traditional Reiki training provides an attunement that awakens your natural healing and other abilities and teaches Reiki basics, it isn't enough to develop your most satisfying and successful practice.
Coaching provides the individual support and customized program to help you manifest your Reiki dreams whether you simply want to enjoy your highest quality of life, care for your family or bring Reiki to the world.

Self-practice is the foundation of all successful Reiki practice.
More than simply preventing or recovering from problems, we're giving ourselves a gift every time we place healing hands on ourselves, and we're cultivating our relationship with Reiki that can blossom into a deeper Reiki path.
Reiki self-practice includes more than just placing our hands on our bodies, yet even this simple self-affirming loving touch is so powerful it can support our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing, wellbeing and growth.
Even Self-Care Reiki practice can branch into various paths, and you may find you move from one to another naturally throughout your life as you heal and grow, and as situations arise.
Here are a few you can choose from, described in more detail on the right, and on the Self-Care Practice page:
Personal Wellness Practice
Self-care for Chronic Conditions
Recovery from Illness or Injury
Mental & Emotional Wellness
Spiritual Path & Practice
Caring for the Caregiver
Navigating Life Events
Optimal Wellbeing Reiki Practice
You're looking for a well-rounded holistic practice system that will support your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing, customized to your particular situation. We'll cover all the basics of Reiki practice, philosophy and practical applications in your life, deepening into any area you choose.
Reiki Self-Care for Chronic Conditions
Starting with all the basic Reiki core competencies, we'll co-create a practice that supports your healing and wellbeing in all areas, focused on improving your condition and providing relief from symptoms.
Reiki for Recovery from Illness or Injury
Reiki can accelerate your natural healing process whether you're recovering from a systemic illness, surgery, accidental injury or other acute issue. We'll craft a program that supports your overall wellbeing while promoting deep healing.
Reiki for Mental & Emotional Wellness
Reiki is a mindfulness practice as well as a physical healing technique, helping you to relax and clear your mind, balance emotions and develop a healthier, more joyful relationship with yourself, even helping you heal from past traumas and reduce suffering from anxiety, depression and other difficulties.
Spiritual Reiki Path & Practice
We'll dive deeper together into the spiritual practices and philosophy of Reiki, enhancing your intuition, connection with the Divine and awakening your Higher Self, bringing your own sacred awareness more fully into each moment.
Reiki Care for Caregivers
Caring for your family becomes more easeful and joyful with Reiki by deepening your own self-care practice, providing you with helpful tools for first-aid comfort and ongoing support of those you love and live with, as well as setting a shining example of self-care and self-responsibility, beautifully balanced with giving and caring for others.
Reiki for Navigating Life Events
Whether you're celebrating a planned event such as a wedding or retirement, or coping with a surprize challenge such as job loss or sudden relationship change, Reiki can help you navigate these life events with greater ease and skill, with a customized coaching program to address your specific needs and goals.
Family Wellness
One of the most enticing reasons for learning Reiki is to help others, especially our nearest and dearest. This can include your biological family, chosen family, and circle of friends and colleagues.
While I encourage you to establish a strong Self-Care Reiki practice first, Family Care may feel central to your Reiki path, and that is a beautiful thing.
Since people of all ages and health conditions can benefit from Reiki in virtually any situation, you'll always have tools on hand to rise to the occasion, whether facing challenges or simply enhancing quality of life for any member of the family.
However, sharing Reiki with family members is not always as easy and straightforward as we might wish it to be.
The programs below are examples of areas of focus that can help you develop the skills and confidence to welcome your loved ones into the wonderful world of Reiki, or even help you learn to use Reiki to support family wellbeing and improve relationships even if the others are not as enthusiastic about Reiki.

Family Wellness
Reiki can be your number one toolkit in maintaining and restoring your family's health and harmony, staring with your own self-practice and expanding to embrace any situation that arises with any family member, from subtle energetic support to regular Reiki sessions.
Reiki with Children
Kids are natural healers - we all are! And they can be especially receptive energetically to the beautiful sensations of Reiki energy, though each is also a unique individual who needs to be approached thoughtfully. Reiki is a wonderful blessing for encouraging relaxation and sleep as well as bringing comfort in times of distress, and even helping kids embrace their intuition and creativity, and creating a loving relationship with their bodies and themselves from an early age.
Reiki with Elders
Many older people appreciate Reiki's ability to relieve aches and pains, tension and stress, and to promote rejuvenation and restful relaxation. Working with our older relatives can benefit from an approach that offers Reiki in ways that will feel more comfortable for them, perhaps in familiar language that resonates with their experience, and hand positions or other techniques that can create a positive Reiki experience as a beautiful way to honor our elders.
Reiki in Relationships
Every relationship can benefit from Reiki, starting - of course - with our own self-care, but also directly engaging Reiki for healing, relaxation, understanding, compassion and guidance between yourself and any other person in your world, especially those closest to you, who may feel both most precious and also sometimes more challenging.
Reiki & Family Life Events
While some important shared life events and transitions may seem to be all good or all bad, they're generally a mix of blessings and challenges. Even joyous planned celebrations such as marriage, the birth of a child or a chosen re-location can bring stress. And even loss, struggle or sudden change can offer us gifts if we are open to them.
You can become the Calm I in the Storm with Reiki practice, starting with your own self-care, and extending to all involved in the ways you can best support and connect with each of them.
Reiki Care for Caregivers
Caring for your family becomes more easeful and joyful with Reiki by deepening your own self-care practice, providing you with helpful tools for first-aid comfort and ongoing support of those you love and live with, as well as setting a shining example of self-care and self-responsibility, beautifully balanced with giving and caring for others.
Reiki with Animals
Some of our family members aren't even human! Yet they can be just as important to us and warrant our loving care whether for wellness and prevention or recovery from injury or illness. Reiki can provide us with a wonderful way to connect nonverbally with our animal friends, offering them extra help when they need it and enhancing our everyday experiences of bonding with them.
Community Care
Sharing Reiki in the community is one of the great joys of our practice, yet there are multiple paths you can take to cultivate these partnerships and invite others to begin their healing journey with Reiki.
Sharing Reiki with those outside your circle of family and friends has its unique rewards and challenges, and can actually be easier in some ways, though possibly harder in others.
There are some common skills and techniques for creating a successful experience bringing Reiki into the community, and some that are unique to different situations.

Medical Settings
Many hospitals appreciate Reiki as a complementary offering, and patients often respond enthusiastically when offered a risk-free, gentle option for reducing discomfort and promoting rest and relaxation.
Understanding and respecting each hospital or other medical setting can help you create a successful and mutually beneficial partnership, along with a deep and solid understanding of Reiki, learning to present Reiki in language that is most helpful, and, of course, your own experience with self-practice and helping friends and family.
Hospice
End of life care can be a powerful, loving and even in some ways a healing experience for all involved. This is the ultimate demonstration of Reiki as a practice that does not seek to force a particular outcome, yet provides significant benefits and supports each person in clarifying and attaining their intentions and goals, whether to reduce suffering, aid in more easeful transition or healthy coping with grief and change. Reiki offers myriad opportunities to support patients, their families and caregivers and the professionals who work with them.
Reiki Shares
Reiki practitioners practice on each other too! Trading sessions with other students of the art can be enjoyable while receiving your turn, but also helpful in gaining experience and insight by discussing Reiki with others. It's also helpful to cultivate relationships in the Reiki community for ongoing support, education and networking opportunities. In order to make the most of this option, it helps to understand the logistics involved and think about how you want to organize and run your Reiki share.
Reiki Clinics
Reiki Clinics are a great way to introduce people in your community to Reiki for free or a low cost or donation, whether in a short demonstration or a full session, and to gain experience as practitioners as well. Some may feel more comfortable in a group setting and enjoy pooling resources and ideas to create the event.
Community Events
Events that are created by community organizations can offer wonderful opportunities to introduce Reiki to an audience that may be more receptive than the general public, and in a setting feels safe and familiar. Logistics and operations play a significant role in successfully integrating with existing community events besides skill in practicing Reiki and communicating with others about our healing arts system.
Community Partners
It's likely that there are organizations in your community who could benefit from Reiki, whether at their events, as support for their staff, as a complementary offering to their services, or in other ways. You might work with them regularly or be available occasionally. Learn how to choose, create and cultivate relationships with community partners to share Reiki with more people who can benefit, and to gain experience in your own practice and Reiki path.
Speaking & Writing about Reiki
You don't have to be a Reiki Master or Teacher to share it with others. You may belong to a group that would enjoy learning about your Reiki practice and education, or you might reach out and create opportunities to educate your community about the wonders, benefits and opportunities of learning and practicing Reiki. Your speaking and writing ability may be just as important as Reiki training and practice when you combine them in the way that's just right for you to communicate your passion and expertise.

Yes, Reiki is a real profession! And you can enjoy a successful Reiki business if you approach it mindfully and skillfully with practical understanding of business basics as well as a professional demeanor, solid understanding of the system of Reiki and deep integration of the various aspects of Reiki business.
Providing healing sessions and teaching Reiki are just a couple examples of ways you can develop a part- or full-time Reiki business, and even within these there are branches of this path you can cultivate in the way that best suits you and your clientele.

Integrating Reiki into Your Professional Practice
Reiki Business Support
Professional Virtual Reiki Provider
One amazing thing about Reiki is that not only is it portable, it can literally be shared from anywhere to anywhere else! A Reiki business can be run entirely online with the skills and understanding of basic business systems and Virtual Reiki training, also known as Level 2 or 2nd degree.
Professional Reiki Provider in Studio
Whether you own or rent a studio spaced dedicated to your practice or share a space with other healing arts practitioners, you may choose to see clients in person for hands-on sessions. Along with basic business skills, you'll also focus on the physical setting, protocols for working with clients in person, and techniques such as hand positions and even your own comfort and wellbeing during sessions.
Reiki Teacher
Teaching is a unique calling in any field, and if you feel called to Reiki you are likely on fire with passion for this remarkable healing system and practice, and excited to ignite this ability in others.
Teaching requires its own set of skills besides a deep foundation of Reiki self-practice and experience working with others. Your own teaching path will be unique to you, not a replica of mine or anyone else's when we co-create the perfect path for you to create your own business empowering others with Reiki education.
Integrating Reiki into Your Profession
Reiki is a powerful complementary skill to add to a wellness practice such as massage, psychotherapy, physical therapy, elder care and many more. It's great for calming children and animals, people who are nervous about their treatments or generally stressed.
We'll discuss how you want to integrate your Reiki practice, whether you use it quietly to create a more harmonious work atmosphere and help people around you relax, or whether you'll offer Reiki sessions or incorporate it into your other healing modalities.
Reiki Business Support
Perhaps your Reiki business is not centered around offering Reiki sessions or classes but on supporting those who do. There is a lot of work in any business that is outside of the primary focus area and requires skills in business systems, customer support, marketing and other service areas where your knowledge and experience in Reiki can add value to the support you provide to professional Reiki providers.
All Essential Arts Reiki Path & Practice Coaching begins with the
Coaching Sessions
We'll meet weekly or semi-monthly depending on your coaching plan, and follow this strategy, adjusting it along the way as you make wonderful progress and encounter challenges, both of which I expect for you along the way - you can handle it!
We'll meet on Zoom and combine check-in, discussion, skills training and energy work with Q & A time and practical
tools and techniques.
Core Curriculum
We'll use the Bring Reiki to Life curriculum outline as a wellspring to draw from allowing you the flexibility to move at your own pace and explore more deeply what's most important to you while covering all the Essential Arts Reiki Training & Healing core competency areas. You will not be expected to complete a module each week or month as in a class but instead organically unfold your own best Reiki practice, using the modules as stepping stones.
Chart Your Course
When you enroll in Bring Reiki to Life Coaching, we'll co co-create a coaching strategy at your beginning Welcome session.

Meet Your Guide Dawn Hancy
Essential Arts Reiki Path Coaching programs reflect my 12 years of experience in practicing Reiki, sharing Reiki with friends, family and in community, creating my Reiki business and teaching Reiki to others.
I've enjoyed branching out from self-practice to volunteering at events, partnering with community organizations, supporting hospital, birthing center and hospice patients, helping family members through surgeries and other tough times, and designing my own Reiki core curriculum, and now coaching programs.
I observe that Reiki training as taught through the traditional levels just isn't enough to help students establish a successful and satisfying practice, let alone cultivate their unique Reiki Path in life.
So I've combined on my experience as a homeschool Mom/teacher and library director with my love of research and learning, and my passion for crafting ideas and systems, chaplaincy and advocacy to create an original approach to continuing Reiki education, helping to bridge the gap between the Reiki community and the wider world, so desperately in need of healing and comfort in these times,
I blend what I've learned from 3 Reiki teachers, many colleagues, self-study and experience in the community with what I learn from some of my best teachers - my students and clients to continually create and update my courses and programs, in order to support individuals in their unique unfoldment and natural evolution, empowering people to awaken their highest and deepest gifts.
Always present alongside my intuition and creativity is a scientific curiosity which calls me to keep learning and exploring, observing and organizing, as Reiki is both an art and a science.
And I practice what a teach - every day, starting every morning with Reiki practice and gratitude for myriad manifestations of Reiki in my life.
