I attended The Reiki School as a student who'd enrolled on a Reiki 1 Class and would recommend it to anyone who is interested in learning more about it. A wonderfully rich and interesting experience, led beautifully by our Reiki Master and Teacher Jacq, everything about the day was first class. The setting in the beautiful Wiltshire countryside is perfect, warm, cozy and spotless. We were made to feel very welcome and any anxiety was quickly dispelled by Jacq's warmth and knowledge. The day is a balance of theory and applications and the time just flew by. The smaller group size really adds to

My life has truly changed for the better since learning Reiki, and what Jacq offers at The Reiki School is far superior than what I have been able to find elsewhere. Aside from the initial course, Jacq offers continual learning through reiki shares, publicising your business on her therapist directory, and is happy to answer any questions you have as you gain experience. I thoroughly recommend The Reiki School for your reiki journey.

The Reiki School is in the idyll of Wiltshire, and the school itself reflects that. It made me wish I had done this sooner, however no regrets because as a group, we were all made to feel warm and welcome and we bonded immediately. If you are looking to explore or advance your journey then look no further, Jaqc is the perfect teacher. I will be back

This week I completed my Reiki 1 course with Jacq. The course exceeded all expections and I cannot wait to learn more and continue with Reiki II. I am already feeling the positive affects of the attunement. Thanks Jacq for a wonderful day, you are a truly great teacher. There were just three of us taking the course and it was the perfect number and it was lovely to get to know the other like minded course members

On arrival at The Reiki School I felt calm, happy and peaceful. It is set in such an idyllic location and Jacq is extremely warm and inviting. The Level I course was taught so thoroughly and beautifully, and it felt amazing to learn techniques in calming and grounding. For me it felt like an emotional realignment.
Jacq goes into detail with every aspect of Reiki and it was such a magical day, sharing and learning with an extremely small and encouraging group. The support received from Jacq before the course, during and after is amazing and I'm so pleased that I chose to do my Reiki training
