Loving Touch Center International School of Traditional Usui Reiki
Often on the journey of self discovery you must create a trail that was once not there, it is so important for us to have self discovery through like-minded people, teachers, classes, courses, certifications, and community centers that build one another up towards their goals and dreams.
As a school, Loving Touch Center teaches Reiki, a hands-on healing energy. It is a powerful yet gentle energy that is emitted from the Universe, through a practitioner’s hands to a recipient. Reiki is holistic and addresses an individual on many levels, creating good health physically, mentally and emotionally. Loving Touch Center is a place for learning, healing and transformation.
Loving Touch Center is more than a school. We are a family
We provide our students with an atmosphere of unconditional, non-judgmental love in a safe and secure place where everyone can address their issues. We also provide loving support in their personal growth and their Reiki practice.
Loving Touch Center also teaches the philosophy of metaphysics and we give you extra tools for self-empowerment and for finding your own answers.
Loving Touch Center was recognized by the Supreme Court, Board of Education and The Attorney General in the state of New York as an Interfaith Ministry. Our ministry is not religious in nature, but is a spiritual discipline. As such we are able to minister Reiki to our students and clients in hospitals or other institutions. Since we ordain our ministers as Ministers of Spiritual Healing, which is how we perceive the Reiki energy, only our own Loving Touch Center graduates are eligible for our ministry.
Loving Touch Center offers Reiki I, Reiki II, Advanced Practitoner, Master & Master Teacher Programs.
