The weekend: the master symbol
You receive the master symbol and the attunement that comes with it. We start with what it does, how energy moves differently at this level, and how to keep yourself clear while working at it.

Master training is for the moment when practicing Reiki stops being enough, and something starts asking you to teach it.
That moment usually arrives quietly. A friend asks you to show them what you do. You are explaining the hand positions and you realize you know them in your body, not off the page. And somewhere underneath it, a question: am I allowed to be the one who passes this on?
This training is where you find out.
We teach it together, we teach it in person, and we teach it one to one. Just you and both of us, for one full weekend, with the option to add three months of mentorship afterward, for while you take on your first students.

What most master trainings leave out
A master certification can be handed over quickly. The symbol, an attunement, a certificate. You come away with the credential and still no idea how to run a room.
We do not think the gap is information. The symbols are in the manuals and plenty of them are online. The gap is everything a manual cannot give you. What to do when a student cries on the table. How to hold a room while you are nervous. How to answer “is any of this real” without getting defensive or overselling.

From our Reiki students
These are from our Reiki Level 1 students. As our Master graduates share their reflections, we will add them here.
“I didn’t know exactly what to expect going into the Level One Reiki training with Jaime and Yonatan, but it ended up being so much more powerful than I could’ve imagined. Jaime has this expansive, intuitive presence, while Yonatan’s style is more precise and laser-focused. That combination created such a well-rounded, integrated experience. If you’re even a little curious, I can’t recommend Word of Mouth enough.” – Lindsey
“Jaime and Yonatan’s Reiki 1 training is a gift for anyone lucky enough to take the course. The space they facilitate is so calming and open. They teach you about the history of Reiki and different access points. I learned so much, and felt so much move for me.” – Nidhi
Before you start
The weekend: learning to teach
Then we turn to teaching, which is the part most trainings skip entirely. You will practice attunements on us, teach pieces of a Level 1 class out loud, and get honest feedback on both.
We cover the things nobody warns you about. What to do when a student has a big emotional release. How to set up a space. How to handle the person who is testing you. How to protect your own energy when you are the one holding the room.
You will leave able to give an attunement. Not smoothly yet. That comes with repetition, once you start teaching.
Optional: mentorship while you begin
Some people want company for that first stretch of teaching. We offer three months of mentorship as an add-on for exactly that.
Bring us your first class plan. Bring us the student who confused you. Bring us the question you are embarrassed to ask. This is the part that turns a certificate into a practice. Whether you want it is a conversation for your readiness call.
How we teach
Both of us, one of you. Jaime works intuitively and wide. Yonatan works precise and narrow. Students tell us the contrast is the useful part, because you get to find your own way of teaching somewhere between the two.
Entirely one to one. The whole weekend is built around you, which means nowhere to hide and nothing we miss while you learn to teach.

Straight Answers
The things people actually worry about
Worrying about the responsibility is usually a sign you understand it. The people who never worry are the ones we would gently slow down.
Sensitivity is the raw material, not the obstacle. What master training adds is structure around it, so you can be that open in a room and still walk out with your own energy intact.
You will give and receive attunements repeatedly across the weekend, with us watching. You will feel it from both sides, in your own body. That is how the doubt resolves, and it is why we do not teach this online.
Investment
Private training: $2,500. One full weekend, one to one, scheduled around your life.

If you have been thinking about it
You have probably been thinking about it for a while. That is normal, and it is usually a good sign.
The next step is small. A free thirty-minute call on Zoom, with no pitch at the end of it. We will talk about where your practice is, what is pulling you toward teaching, and whether this is the right season for it.
If it is not, we will tell you.
On timing
Master training here is private and one to one, so it is scheduled around you rather than a set cohort date. There is nothing to wait for.
If this is calling you, book a readiness call and we will talk about timing.
Good Questions
Frequently asked questions
Reiki Level 1 and Level 2, plus at least six months of regular practice. If you trained with a different teacher, we will talk through where you are on the readiness call to make sure the timing and the practice level fit.
One full weekend in person. If you want mentorship as you start teaching, three months of it is available as an add-on, and we will talk it through on your readiness call. How long it takes to feel ready to teach is a separate question, and it varies. Taking a while is not a failure. The optional mentorship exists for people who want company through that stretch.
Yes. You will receive direct transmission of the traditional symbols including the master symbol, and you will learn our attunement process. You will practice attunements several times across the weekend, with us watching and correcting.

Our program certifies you to teach Reiki Level 1 and Level 2. Training other master teachers takes further private mentorship, which we take on case by case.
If you have been practicing steadily, people have started asking you about it, and the idea of teaching both pulls at you and scares you a little, you are probably close. The readiness call is thirty free minutes to find out properly.
Yes. You are certified to teach Reiki Level 1 and Level 2 the day you finish. Whether you feel ready that fast is a different question, and it varies a lot. You are qualified to teach on day one. Feeling ready can take longer, and if you want support through that stretch, the optional three-month mentorship is built for it. Being qualified and feeling ready are two different things, and we would rather be clear about both.
We open each session by naming Mikao Usui and the teachers who carried this before us. The training also covers the lineage history and the traditional practices, and how to carry them honestly while still teaching in your own voice.
Our WhatsApp community, always. Beyond that, three months of mentorship for while you take on your first students is available as an add-on, private mentorship past that if you want to keep going, and we take on apprentices case by case. What you want is a conversation for your readiness call.
Confidence comes from repetition more than from certification. If you know you will want company for that first stretch of teaching, the optional three-month mentorship is built for exactly it. Private mentorship and apprenticeship are there beyond that, case by case.
Yes. Deeper chakra work, higher-frequency energy, protection practices for people who hold space professionally, and how to clear the residue of a heavy session so you do not carry it home with you.
