Reiki One

Join Reiki Master Teacher Colleen Helgerson for an expansive look into the Art of Inviting Happiness (commonly known as Reiki). This class will bring to you a firm energetic base.

Through the development of an inner understanding of our connectedness. We can bring confidence and vitality to our lives and work. Building a sense of dynamic presence. Class consists of learning the Reiki basics (the who, what, where, and why's) and prepares the student to utilize self-healing on all levels of existence.  Cost $100.
