This is for you if you
- Don't want to learn Reiki alone from a faceless course
- Want a real teacher present for your attunement
- Value clear, grounded guidance instead of woo without structure
- Want to feel confident using Reiki in your daily life, not just "know about it"
What Reiki 1 opens
Not just a certification.
A practice that belongs to you for life.
The attunement is the beginning. What follows is a daily relationship with your own energy field, one that grows steadier and deepens the longer you stay with it.
A practitioner who works from direct contact
Not theory about energy. Actual, felt, repeatable experience of working with it. The attunement makes that accessible in a way reading never does.
A daily self-healing practice that travels with you
No equipment. No appointment. A practice you can return to anywhere, for your own nervous system, clarity, and steadiness under pressure.
The ability to offer sessions to others
Family, loved ones, and for some students, early client work. Level 1 gives you a real foundation for practice, and everything that follows builds from here.
Confidence in what you are doing and why
You will know the principles, the hand positions, the session structure, and how to hold space for others. Not just the what, but enough of the why that you can trust yourself.
Your teacher
Shanti Lleone

Shanti is the kind of teacher who stays present with you through the whole process. She is not handing you a packet and sending you off to figure it out. The live attunement is personal, held with care, and she is genuinely there for it.
She has been in practice for over 25 years and has trained 500+ practitioners across 40+ countries, across multiple lineages including Usui Reiki, Kundalini Reiki, shamanic, and Vedic traditions. She pays attention to your nervous system, not just your energy field.
Students consistently describe her as clear, steady, and fully present. Those three things are harder to find than any credential.
From students in the lineage
What practitioners say
after training with Shanti
The reflections below are typical of what students often share after Level 1.
I had looked at other Reiki trainings before this. Most of them felt like you were just purchasing a packet and figuring it out alone. What stopped me from signing up anywhere else was that I couldn't feel a real teacher on the other side. The live attunement with Shanti changed that. She was fully present, and I could feel the difference.
Nothing about working with Shanti felt rushed or performed. She was clear and steady the whole way through, and I never felt like I had to earn her attention or prove I was ready. I felt calm with her right away, which is not normal for me. I could actually relax and receive.
Before this, Reiki was something I was curious about but couldn't quite land in my body. After the attunement, that shifted. I started using it on myself regularly and I stopped second-guessing what I was sensing. The live part changed everything for me. You don't get that from a recording.
The live attunement
This is the part that
most online courses skip
Self-paced material builds knowledge. The attunement opens the channel. Both matter, and one doesn't replace the other.
A live 1:1 attunement with Shanti, included in your enrollment
After you complete the self-paced material, you schedule a private video session with Shanti for your Reiki 1 attunement. It is held in real time, with full presence and intention.
Distance work is not a compromise. It is a core part of Reiki practice. Shanti has held hundreds of attunements this way. The session is personal, complete, and held with the same care as an in-person transmission.
Some people feel the attunement strongly in the moment. Others notice it unfolding over the days that follow. Both are normal, and both are complete.

The path forward
Reiki 1 is the foundation.
Reiki 2 is where practice deepens.
Some students know from the start they want both. Others decide after Level 1 practice is established. Either way, the bundle is the complete practitioner pathway, and it saves $47 over enrolling in each level separately.
