How to Choose the Right Reiki Master Teacher for Reiki Classes

Is your soul nudging you toward something deeper?
Have you been feeling called to explore spirituality, Reiki or energy healing, or simply want to reduce stress and bring peace into your life? Reiki might be the perfect next step. Learning Reiki isn’t just about gaining a skill; it’s about awakening your natural ability to heal yourself, help others, and align with your highest potential. You turn on your intuition.

More and more people are turning to Reiki—a proven healing modality now offered in leading hospitals—to ease anxiety, improve well-being, and boost spiritual growth. But if you’re going to learn Reiki, it’s essential to choose the right Reiki Master Teacher. The connection you have with your teacher can make all the difference in your experience and transformation.

Listen to Your Intuition to Make You Reiki Class Choice

Before you search online, tune in. Ask yourself, “Who am I meant to learn from?” Trust your intuition—it already knows. Then explore Reiki teachers online and ask for referrals. Read class descriptions and bios. Notice who you feel naturally drawn to. When it comes to choosing a Reiki Master Teacher, your soul always knows.

“Since I have been working with Wendy Wisner, my life has turned around. Her guidance, knowledge and support has provided amazing turning points in my life. The classes that I have attended with Wendy and Rodrigo are life changing. They teach in a way that is easy to follow and understand. I have walked away from my sessions and classes with hope and inspiration and full of love.” — MELLISA C

7 Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Reiki Master Teacher for your Reiki classes

1. What will I learn and how are the Reiki classes taught?

Ask how the Reiki classes are structured. Are they in-person or virtual? How many hours are included in Reiki I, Reiki II, and Reiki III (Reiki Master level)? Is the teaching style hands-on, intuitive, or more traditional?

At Radiant You, each Reiki level is a one-day, eight-hour, in-person course with no more than eight students. Customized care to answer your spiritual questions while feeling the nuances of feeling the Reiki energy pulse as you give others healing. You’ll receive:

• A beautiful, printed manual (with helpful graphics)
• Hands-on Reiki practice with like-minded students
• In-depth training in spiritual practices and current medical perspectives
• A printed Reiki certificate for each level (great for job credentials!)

You’ll also get time between levels to integrate what you’ve learned—because Reiki isn’t just a skill, it’s a shift in energy. Each Reiki Attunement causes you to vibrate at a higher energy frequency. We honor your need to process and heal between attunements.

2. Will I receive all six Reiki symbols and learn how to work with energy as a spiritual practice and what medical science is doing?

Not all Reiki classes teach the full system. You should learn about:

• All six Reiki symbols
• The chakra system, meridians, and other energy systems
• How energy heals the physical body
• How to describe Reiki to friends, family, or clients
• The history and origins of Reiki healing

We ensure you leave each class with the tools and confidence to explain and share Reiki with others.

3. Do you help students become professional Reiki practitioners?

If you want to offer Reiki professionally, your Reiki Master should guide you beyond the classroom. At Radiant You, we support students in becoming certified, licensed practitioners—and help you find paid or volunteer opportunities, and even provide professional recommendations.

4. What are your fees?

Compare fees with other Reiki classes in your area—but remember, the quality of training, personal support, and ongoing mentorship are priceless. Ask what’s included: Manuals? Certificates? Ongoing community?

5. What levels of Reiki training do you offer?

Some teachers only offer Reiki I or II. At Radiant You, we offer the full pathway—from beginner to Reiki Master and Reiki Master Teacher. We also provide Intuitive Energy Healer and Energy Clearing Certifications for those ready to go deeper.

6. What’s the teacher’s experience and lineage?

Ask how long your Reiki Master Teacher has been practicing and teaching. How often do they offer Reiki classes? Do they still practice Reiki regularly?

At Radiant You, both Wendy Wisner and Rodrigo Ortiz have decades of experience. We teach and practice Reiki every week, not once in a while. We’re deeply committed to this healing path.

We teach from both the Usui Reiki and Reiki Jin Kei Do lineages and have been attuned by Reiki Masters whose training can be traced directly back to Dr. Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki. In fact, we received Reiki Master Attunements from Dr. Ranga Premaratna, the current head of the worldwide Reiki Jin Kei Do lineage.

Your Reiki 1 manual even includes a lineage chart tracing your Reiki heritage back to Dr. Usui.

7. How does the teacher make you feel?

Pay attention to how you feel in their presence (or even on a phone call or Zoom). Do they feel kind, supportive, empowering? Do they answer your questions with warmth and patience? Reiki is all about love—your teacher should embody that.

At Radiant You, our Reiki classes are designed to help you tap into your inner healer—whether you’re just beginning your journey or you’re ready to become a Reiki Master.
