Why study with Ursidae?
Ursidae’s Reiki Initiation is Unique
Balance. Integrity. Depth.
Ursidae’s twenty plus years of practice, training and, importantly, experience is what makes training with them a precious and powerful opportunity for self transformation and change.
Trust
Ursidae started the path young. Humbled by their experiences and harms of pseudo spirituality, new age hypes and multi level marketing practices of the nineties that infected wisdom work and opportunities for comprehensive healing. These hard realities have led to a tender hearted approach to teaching and maintaining a peer-to-peer relationship with students. Ursidae is a Mentor, a life long student & a guide.

As Reiki is transmitted from teacher to student, there have been disconnects, amalgmations and synthesis that have “Americanized” a discipline that was established in Japan and brought to the United States.
Ursidae has no delusions about being a torchbearer of this sacred tradition and recognizes the harm of well-intentioned woo-woo that has disconnected the practice from its roots. There is no sped-up version of integrating a relationship with this practice and with the energy vibration of Reiki.
Ursidae teaches in a traditional method being as true to the original teachings as they are able and providing in-depth and exclusive material that is not a mass-produced text, but an evolving manual handed to them through their lineage.
The call to teach in person throughout a full weekend allows time, depth, connection, and integration of First Degree Reiki. There is no combination of courses (Reiki I & II ex.) because there is no goal in this journey. It is a process. You are in process.

I commenceed my Reiki studies in 2002 and have followed a course of authenticity as I found my way towards teaching twenty years later. My apprenticeship included a dozen audits of both Reiki I and Reiki II and additional studies in psychotheraieutic Reiki techniques brought about by Virginia Samdhal, one of Takata’s initiated Master Students. I was then able to be inititated to Reiki III which I practiced for a decade before completing my Mastership training in 2022. My teacher was strict in additional coursework including intuitive development, perceptual work, wisdom discourse from world traditions along with counseing techniques, spiritual emergency topics. Additionally I have a Master’s in Clinical Social Work and years of Nutritional Educator services in dietary health and supplements. More information is available in about Ursidae.
