Reiki Master Teacher Jill Thiel

Usui Holy Fire Reiki Master Teacher Jill Thiel from Minnesota Reiki Center, has been certified in Reiki since 2004, and has been teaching Reiki since 2007.

Jill Thiel has taken Reiki classes from William Lee Rand, Colleen Benelli, Pam Allen LaBlanc, and Patricia Naffky. She's a Licensed Reiki Master Mentor Teacher for The International Center for Reiki Training. Only 40 licensed Reiki teachers exist in the world. Jill has completed over 1000 hours of advanced Reiki teacher training. Jill is licensed in Usui Reiki Ryoho, Usui Holy Fire III Reiki Master, Holy Fire III Karuna Reiki Master, and ICRT Animal Reiki. In addition Jill is also the Director of Social Media, and the Assistant Director of the Licensed Reiki Master Teacher training program for the ICRT. Jill has been a published author for the Reiki News Magazine, since 2019. 

She's spent the majority of her adult life pursuing spiritual growth to cultivate love and compassion for all beings. Jill practices Tibetan Buddhism, and is a student of the honorable Lama Tsering, Chagdud Khadro, and Lama Padma from Chagdud Gongpa, and received several Empowerments over the last 17 years including Red Tara, Chenrezig, Powha, and Medicine Buddha from his holiness the Dalai Lama. She previously worked as a massage educator for The Aveda Institute from 2011-2017. From that experience she has gained valuable knowledge about the chakras, aromatherapy, reflexology, energy work, sound healing, meridians, massage, and Ayurveda

Her passion for sustainability, organic food and gardening prompted her to start a gardening business with her husband David, who built the first deep winter greenhouse in Minneapolis, according to the University of Minnesota and Sustainable Farming Association. The greenhouse provides a beautiful space that's capable of growing food all year round and a growing space for Reiki research. In 2001, Jill completed an art internship in Florence, Italy and received her B.A in Art. A Minnesota native, she loves animals, gardening, traveling, painting, photography, music, astrology, sound healing, crystals, and gemstones.
