WELCOME TO THE HAPPY MIND STUDIO ACADEMY

Learn. Deepen. Practise. Grow.

Welcome to The Happy Mind Studio Academy.

A place for learning, exploration and continued development in Reiki, mindfulness, meditation and holistic wellbeing.

Whether you're taking your very first steps into Reiki, looking to deepen a practice you've already developed, or you're ready to grow as a practitioner or teacher, you've found a place where learning doesn't simply stop when the course finishes.

Your journey starts here.

  • At The Happy Mind Studio Academy, we believe education is about more than collecting certificates.

    It's about experience.

    It's about practice.

    It's about confidence.

    And most importantly, it's about personal growth.

    Our courses are designed to give you the knowledge and practical experience to develop your own journey, while creating a supportive environment where you can ask questions, explore your experiences and learn alongside others.

    Learn from tradition.

    Practise with intention.

    Teach with integrity.

  • Reiki is at the heart of The Happy Mind Studio Academy.

    Our Reiki education explores the traditional Japanese roots of Reiki and the teachings associated with Mikao Usui, while creating a learning environment that is accessible and relevant to people today.

    We place importance on practice rather than simply theory.

    You will have opportunities to experience Reiki, practise techniques, explore the Reiki Precepts and develop your own understanding through direct experience.

    Because Reiki isn't something you simply learn from a book.

    It's something you experience.

  • One of the things we believe strongly in is that your Reiki journey doesn't end when you receive your certificate.

    In many ways, that's where it begins.

    The Academy provides opportunities to continue learning through:

    Deepening Your Reiki

    Advanced Workshops

    Reiki Shares & Practice Days

    Mindfulness & Meditation

    Practitioner Development

    Reiki Teacher Development

    Masterclasses & CPD

    There is always more to discover.

How our training programs work

Choose

Start with honest self-reflection: note your experience, goals and time, then choose a programme with clear outcomes and practical support. Beginners should take introductory/foundation courses starting with Reiki Shoden which has core theory and hands-on practice. If you have already completed Reiki Shoden then you can move on to Reiki Okuden.

Consider Reiki lineage, group size and ongoing support (peer networks, follow-ups). Finally, balance challenge with sustainability—pick a level that fosters steady, embodied learning without overwhelming time or finances.

If you need any support on which course is the right one for you just get in touch.

Decide

Both offer clear pathways, personalised feedback and a safe space to practise and integrate skills.
