What Does Reiki Certification Mean?

Reiki does not have one universal licensing or certification authority. Reiki training is typically completed in levels, with students receiving a certificate after completing the requirements of each class.

At Minnesota Reiki Center, your training path depends on your experience and goals. Beginners can start with Reiki 1 & 2, while experienced practitioners can continue to Reiki Master, Karuna Reiki, and animal Reiki training.

If you are a licensed or certified healthcare or wellness professional looking for continuing education credit, that is different from Reiki certification. Some Reiki classes qualify for continuing education or contact hours depending on your profession and licensing board.
