Reiki Level 2 represents a profound shift in your journey as a practitioner: from working solely on your own self-healing to offering healing to others.
Yet ironically, Reiki Level 2 or Okuden translates as the "innerā teachings.
Thatās because Reiki Level 2 is more than a certification - itās an esoteric journey into your inner world and pathway back to your true nature. First and foremost, it is an opportunity to continue to unfold the mysteries of your own healing and relationship to Reiki. Then, as you deepen into your own practice and wisdom, you can naturally become a support to others.
Offering energy healing to others is a great gift and a great responsibility.
This program is for sincere seekers who are ready to hold this responsibility with care and integrity, and understand that only by going deep within and meeting your own shadows, do you discover the true inner light that you can shine out into the world.
You donāt need to be a full-time healer or want to become a professional Reiki practitioner to participate in Okuden. If you work in any āhelpingā field like teaching, social work, coaching, therapy, facilitation, or lead, manage and collaborate with others in any capacity, youāll gain valuable energy leadership skills that will empower you to better support your communities.
āØThis program is for you if:
You want to not just get a certification in Reiki, but to actually have the confidence, skills and on-going support you need to begin a professional Reiki practice and/or authentically integrate Reiki into your other work
You care about the philosophical and spiritual foundation of the system of Reiki - not only hands on healing techniques - because you understand that your personal spiritual connection and healing journey is deeply intertwined with your ability to support others
You are a coach, healer, teacher, therapist, social worker, bodyworker, or human who wants practical tools to harmonize your own energy and the energy of the spaces you work in so you can show up better for the people in your care
You want to deepen your understanding of the historical and cultural context of Reiki, because itās important to you to engage in ethical spiritual practice grounded in lineage that honors the people and cultures who created the traditions you practice
You have completed a Reiki Level 1* (or even another Reiki Level 2 course!) but donāt have a clear sense of how to apply what you learned to your daily life - you are intuitively drawn to Reiki and know in your bones that there is much more to the practice than what youāve experienced so far!
You desire to be part of an inclusive spiritual community and participate in regular Reiki shares and practice sessions in NYC
*Note: Reiki Level 1 is a pre-requisite. Next Reiki Level 1 program dates to be announced soon.

āMallory is an extremely talented Reiki teacher. She is open, knowledgeable, and makes space for all experiences. If you value the history and cultures from which the practice of Reiki came, I would definitely recommend her.
My experience in Reiki 2 was deeply moving, informative, and inspiring. I moved from practicing to feeling a draw to Reiki and feeling its necessity each day. This program has been one of the most life-changing experiences for me.ā

About Your Guides
š Hi, Iām Mallory Combemale
If youād told me years ago that Iād be teaching Reiki, I would have laughed out loud. As a practical, ambitious high achiever, I had no room for fluffly concepts like āuniversal spiritual energyā.
Then I fell in loveā¦ with a Reiki teacher (!) and everything changed.
When I experienced Reiki, I couldnāt deny itās power. Since then, Reiki has become a core part of how I live and lead, helping me heal from disordered eating, chronic health issues, and extreme burnout.
I received my Reiki Level 3 (Master Level) from Bogdan Ciochinaru of Firefly Society in 2016 and have been teaching Usui Reiki Ryoho since 2020.
Iām passionate about teaching Reiki in a way thatās historically accurate, culturally respectful, and free from New Age distortions. I love exploring how Eastern spiritual traditions connect with modern neuroscience, trauma healing, and the human nervous system, and making that wisdom practical for real life.
In addition to Reiki, Iāve taught breathwork, meditation, and yoga for over a decade and received hundreds of hours of training in the healing arts.
Iām also a professional facilitator, conflict resolution mediator, and former Deloitte consultant ā so I bring a grounded, no-BS lens to everything I do.
Oh, and I really love dancing. And trees āŗļø
š Hi, Iām Taylor Rose
Iām a Usui Reiki Level 3 practitioner and teacher offering somatic healing, spiritual guidance, and intuitive insights through reiki and energy work. I focus on empowering individuals to develop a relationship with their own self-healing that will give them confidence them to lead life from the heart. My highest intention is for you to remember, there is nothing to fix. You are whole and complete as you are.
I received my Reiki level 1 & 2 training from Maha Rose, Erika Spring, Mariko Tomegai & Mallory Combemale, and my Usui Reiki level 3 training with my mentor and now collaborator, Mallory Combemale.
FAQs

Reiki means āuniversal source energyā in Japanese. There are many forms of energy work and energy healing, but here Reiki refers to a specific system of philosophy and set of techniques taught by Mikao Usui in late 1800s Japan.
Contrary to popular belief, Reiki is not an āancientā system. It draws inspiration from the spiritual inheritance of Japan, which includes Buddhism, Shintoism (indigenous shamanic traditions) and more. Drawing on this rich cultural heritage, the system of Reiki was articulated by Mikao Usui within the specific context of secular, industrializing Japanese society.
Reiki is not just a practice for healing others, useful to those only interested in pursuing work in the healing arts. In fact, Reiki is a powerful package of practices for mastering your own energy. It is a secular, practical set of tools for self-development.
Whether you are a business leader, a teacher, a care-giver or facilitator of any kind, practicing Reiki will enhance your ability to lead groups with calm and clarity, make decisions under pressure and generate positive uplifting energy that will motivate those around you.

Reiki means āuniversal source energyā in Japanese. There are many forms of energy work and energy healing with origins in cultures all around the world. Reiki is a system of philosophy and a set of techniques taught by Mikao Usui in late 1800s Japan.
-
Reiki is considered a spiritual lineage, because the knowledge and practices are transmitted from student to teacher in an unbroken chain. The Reiki Usui Ryoho lineage is closest to the original Japanese teachings, as taught by the Mikao Usui, the creator of the Reiki system. It focuses on Reiki as a personal path of spiritual and self-development.
Most Reiki teachers in the West teach Usui Shiki Ryoho, which is the name of the system of Reiki taught by Hawayo Takata in Hawaii and the US in the 1970s.

If you had mentioned the concept of āuniversal spiritual energyā before life unexpectedly thrust Reiki into my path, my cynical self would have told you something like āthereās no such thingā. As a practical, ambitious high achiever I didnāt have much capacity for things I found āirrationalā.
Then, I fell in love with an incredible Reiki teacher at the age of 21. Thank you, life. I learned about Reiki and energy work through my own experience and could not deny its power.
Since then, itās been a core tool in my journey of self-empowerment, self-healing and leadership, and an incredible complement to other practices of meditation, energy and spirituality.
I received my Usui Reiki Ryoho Level 3 (Master Level) in the summer of 2017 and have now been teaching for about 3 years. Itās truly a gift to share this system, which has transformed me so deeply.
-
Reiki is taught by initiation, i.e., the knowledge and practices are passed on directly from teacher to student. Your Reiki initiation will involve a series of ārejusā or āenergetic blessingsā that activate or attune your awareness of subtle energy.
There are 3 primary stages in your Reiki journey:
Reiki Level 1 - work on self-awareness, self-healing and rebalancing your own energy
Reiki Level 2 - learn how to work with others and offer energy healing sessions hands-on in-person and across distance
Reiki Level 3 - learn how to give rejus and teach the system of Reiki
Each initiation is followed by a 21-Day Integration period where you commit to practice the techniques and meditations every day. It is also recommended that you refrain from drugs and alcohol, and eat a clean, vegetarian diet during this time.
