Reiki Level 3 Certification Requirements
To complete your Reiki Level 3 Certification, the following components are required. These elements are designed to support your growth as a Reiki practitioner and deepen your embodiment of the practice:
1. Attend & Participate in All Scheduled Sessions
Active participation in all live group sessions is essential to your integration of the material. These gatherings are opportunities to connect with fellow practitioners, receive attunements, and engage in the sacred container of shared learning.
2. Schedule at Least One 1:1 Coaching Session
Each student must schedule a personal coaching session with the instructor to receive individualized guidance, support, and feedback. This one-on-one time allows space for reflection, integration, and mentorship tailored to your journey.
3. Case Study Submission
As part of your certification, you are required to submit documentation of three Reiki sessions. These Case Studies serve as a reflective practice, inviting you to evaluate your experience and insights as a Reiki practitioner.
Reiki teaches through practice. These Case Studies are not about perfection—they are a mirror for your growth and a tool for deepening awareness. Trust the unfolding.
Case Study Guidelines:
You may submit your Case Studies individually or all at once via email. They can be written in any format that feels authentic to you—essay-style, journal entry, or bullet points. Include the following information for each session:
