Traditional Japanese Reiki Training

We’re excited to be offering you an opportunity to learn traditional Japanese Reiki here at The Serenity Barn in November 2025 with Sara Johnson (Jikiden Reiki Shihan).

  • Are you looking for ways to incorporate more natural ways of being and living into your life?
  • Would you like to unlock your natural healing ability?
  • Would you like to learn a natural way to support your health and wellbeing and that of your friends and family?
  • Perhaps you would like to follow a path into becoming a Reiki practitioner?
  • Maybe you have already received Reiki training and would like to delve deeper into the Japanese concepts of Reiki?

Learning Jikiden Reiki provides a doorway towards creating a happier, healthier life, inviting you to awaken and strengthen your own connection to your own innate healing power within. This natural healing ability is within us all.  

Jikiden Reiki is Reiki as it was when it was first used in Japan in the 1920s.  During the Jikiden Reiki training you will learn the original system of Reiki, free from Western influence. It includes fundamental theory and practices as it was originally taught by Usui Sensei and then by Hayashi Sensei in the 1930s. It is so simple to learn, incredibly grounding and authentic to its roots.
