Remote Reiki Healing Worldwide & Usui Reiki Courses
Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Experience Since 1997
Dorit's Reiki practice is rooted in Usui Shiki Ryoho and a lineage leading back to Reiki founder Mikao Usui. Her experience includes both hands-on and distance Reiki with people and animals, including supporting clients at home and in hospital.
Over decades of practice, Dorit has used Reiki through many different circumstances and health issues. Individual experiences and responses to Reiki vary. Reiki can be received alongside appropriate medical care.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Had an amazing Reiki session with Dorit. She takes her time and makes you feel comfortable. During the session, I felt a strong flow of energy and even tingling in my legs and feet. Ever since the session (4 days ago), I have felt really good and energized. Strongly recommend.”

How To Prepare for a Remote Reiki
Treatment
After completing the booking, at the agreed time, first there is a small chat via WhatsApp.
Be in a quiet and comfortable place where you can sit or lye down without being disturbed. Close your eyes, relax. Bring your attention to your breath and the present moment while Dorit focuses on sending Reiki to you. Relaxing music is optional.
After the session, there is an opportunity for you to share what you experienced and what Dorit observed during the treatment.
If a conversation before the session is not possible, you can send a recent photo, your location or city, and the concern you would like the Reiki session to focus on.
Wherever you are in the world, you can receive Reiki from Dorit remotely for regular preventative care, health concerns or during recovery.
In Amsterdam, she also offers hands-on Reiki.
Private one-to-one Reiki courses include in-person initiations - first learning Reiki for yourself, with the possibility to continue through the further Reiki levels.

Why Remote Reiki Healing?
Remote Reiki can be especially useful when you are ill, tired, travelling, in hospital, or simply prefer to receive healing without going anywhere. It allows you to rest in your own space without using additional time or energy for travelling to and from a session. Remote Reiki can also be received for relaxation, energetic support, emotional balance and greater clarity during demanding periods.
Remote Reiki can also fit easily around busy schedules and gives you the possibility to receive Reiki from Dorit wherever you are in the world.
Remote Reiki can also be sent to animals anywhere in the world, allowing them to receive Reiki in the familiarity of their own environment.
Contact first to enquire about suitable timing for both before booking.
How Does Remote Reiki Healing Work?
Healing with Reiki energy is not dependent on physical proximity. During a remote session Dorit focuses Reiki energy on you at the agreed time while you rest wherever you are.
You do not need to believe in Reiki. Openness and a sincere willingness to receive are enough. The experience itself is the best way to observe what Reiki feels like for you.
Dorit experiences distance Reiki as an immediate energetic connection beyond physical space. In her experience, remote Reiki can be just as powerful as hands-on Reiki and the experience of each person and each session is individual.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I didn’t know what to expect as this was my first time doing distance reiki healing but it could not have been more of a wonderful experience! Before and after every session, Dorit checked in with me, which I really appreciated. Friendly and warm communicator. Reiki sessions have brought me a peace I had lost and helped me to realign with my goals in recovery. Each session, I had warm sensations flowing through me from head to toe, that left me feeling more light and clear headed. Highly recommend!”

A remote Reiki treatment takes approximately 30 minutes and includes a short conversation before and after the session, usually via WhatsApp. For ongoing concerns, Dorit often recommends beginning with four remote sessions over four days, completed within a maximum of two weeks and then considering what may be appropriate next; the number of sessions cannot be determined in advance for every person or situation.
Please enquire by email or WhatsApp first about a time that is suitable for both.
For a deeper exploration of how I understand energy, consciousness and healing beyond physical distance, read Energy Sent From a Distance - Is It Possible and How?.
What Might You Feel During Remote Reiki?
Experiences vary from person to person and from session to session. You may notice warmth, cold, tingling, heaviness, lightness, emotion, imagery, deep relaxation or sleepiness. At other times the experience may be very subtle. There is no particular sensation you need to produce or expect; simply observe what happens during and after the session.

Learn Reiki for Yourself - Private One-to-One Usui Reiki Courses
Dorit offers private one-to-one Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki courses for people who want to learn Reiki for themselves first and, if they choose, later learn to share Reiki with others.
Reiki begins with your own practice. At Reiki Level I, you learn to connect with Reiki through the hands, practise Reiki self-treatment and learn to give yourself Reiki. Each following level expands how Reiki can be used and shared.
The courses are taught individually, allowing the teaching to follow your own questions, awareness, experience and pace.
Private Certified Reiki Teaching and In-Person Reiki Initiation
Dorit's private Reiki teaching combines personal instruction, practical experience and an in-person Reiki initiation appropriate to each level.
Reiki attunements are given in person rather than remotely. In Dorit's Usui Shiki Ryoho practice, the initiation is passed directly to the student's bio-field, connecting the student with Reiki energy and the symbols belonging to that level. Dorit can then check the energetic connection after the initiation.
This approach keeps the learning process, practice and Reiki attunement in person connected rather than treating the course simply as information or certification.
Reiki Levels - From Self-Practice to Distance Reiki, Higher Consciousness and Teaching
Usui Reiki Level I - Learn Reiki for Yourself and Hands-On Self-Practice
Learn traditional hand positions, practise Reiki self-treatment and develop direct experience of Reiki before gradually sharing hands-on Reiki with others.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Amazing experience with Dorit. Super nice day and am looking forward to returning to my Reiki training 2!”

Usui Reiki Level II - Distance Reiki and Healing Beyond the Physical Body
Receive the Level II symbols and learn to send Reiki beyond physical distance to other people, animals and situations. The distance symbol also extends Reiki beyond the physical body, allowing healing of patterns held in subtler energetic levels, including the astral and causal layers that can influence emotions, thought patterns and the physical body.
For a personal account of using self-Reiki and receiving distance Reiki during illness and quarantine, read Dorit’s experience with Reiki during high fevers in quarantine.
Usui Reiki Master - Advanced Reiki Practice and Master Symbol
Receive additional Master symbols and Reiki healing beyond the astral and causal levels. In Dorit’s understanding, the celestial levels influence the subtler patterns from which causal and astral patterns can arise, and these in turn can affect emotional, mental and physical experience.
Reiki Master Teacher - In-Person Reiki Initiations and Teaching
Teaching and Passing Reiki Initiations
Receive the Master Teacher initiation and symbol required to pass Reiki attunements and teach Reiki to future students.
Dorit's approach is to continue through the Reiki levels with the same teacher, so that each stage builds upon the previous initiations, practice and understanding. Reiki Master and Reiki Master Teacher levels are therefore offered only to students who have completed the earlier Reiki levels with Dorit.
Students who have previously received Reiki initiations from another teacher and wish to continue with Dorit begin again with Reiki Level I.
Choosing the Right Reiki Teacher and Reiki Lineage
Finding the right Reiki teacher is especially important if you may eventually continue through several Reiki levels.
Dorit recommends first speaking with the teacher and, when possible, experiencing Reiki from them before committing to a course. The teacher's experience, approach and Reiki lineage can be more important than simply choosing the nearest available course.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I was looking for a place to learn Reiki, and coincidentally stumbled upon Dorit. Upon meeting her, she immediately made me feel welcome with her big smile and warm hug. She is such a knowledgeable, experienced and patient teacher; I can definitely recommend her to anyone interested in receiving or learning about Reiki.”

Courses are arranged personally rather than around fixed group dates, so you can first choose the Reiki teacher you wish to continue with and then agree the place and timing.
A private Reiki course by arrangement may take place in Amsterdam, the Netherlands; in Kuressaare, Estonia; or at another agreed location worldwide where Dorit is available. Dates are arranged according to mutual availability.
If you would like more time around the initiation, a private Reiki retreat with initiation can be arranged in Estonia. A Flexible One-to-One Healing Retreat can be tailored around Reiki practice, treatments and Reiki certification.
For a shorter intensive option, the 48 HR Deprogramming Destress Retreat can also be arranged as a Reiki retreat with Reiki initiation and practice.
For those who prefer a longer stay with more quiet time around the initiation, the You Time Yin Yoga Retreat in Saaremaa can also include Reiki practice together with Reiki Level I and Reiki Level II teaching and certification.
If you are considering a private Usui Reiki course, contact Dorit first discuss beginning with Reiki Level I and to arrange a suitable time and location. Students who begin learning Reiki with Dorit can later continue through the further Reiki levels with her.
What Can Reiki Healing Help With? Physical Health, Pain, Recovery
Reiki has historically been used for a remarkably wide range of physical health concerns. Hayashi’s treatment guidance includes applications relating to the head and brain, nervous system, eyes, ears, mouth and teeth, digestive system, stomach and intestines, liver and pancreas, respiratory system, lungs and bronchi, heart and circulation, kidneys and urinary system, reproductive organs, thyroid and gland-related concerns, spinal cord, muscles and joints, skin, pain, inflammation, infectious illnesses, injuries and acute physical conditions.
The documented conditions range from headaches, migraine, insomnia, neuralgia and epilepsy to eye and ear disorders, digestive complaints, gastritis, ulcers, liver and gallbladder conditions, respiratory illness, asthma, pneumonia, heart conditions, urinary problems, menstrual and menopausal concerns, rheumatism, muscle spasms and burns. The guide also contains treatment approaches for acute situations such as food poisoning, vomiting, loss of consciousness, shock, drowning and injuries, as well as a number of infectious diseases that were part of medical reality at the time.

“Amazing service would highly recommend the reiki, I had a leg injury (twisted my ankle) and she did distance reiki. It healed magically in 3 days. I’ve had similar leg injuries take weeks. I was skeptical at first but now I’m a believer.”

This historical record shows that Reiki was traditionally practised as a broad healing method for many kinds of physical conditions and bodily systems, including both ongoing and acute concerns. It gives a much fuller picture of Reiki healing than presenting it mainly in relation to relaxation or stress: throughout its documented history, Reiki has also been used in connection with physical health, pain, recovery and specific health concerns.

Reiki Healing Benefits - Whole-Body Treatment,
Regular Reiki and Research
Reiki can be part of regular care while you are well, used more intensively during illness or recovery and for physical, emotional & energetic concerns when they arise, making it a valuable part of ongoing preventative care.
One Reiki session introduces you to the energy, but it is not the same as experiencing Reiki regularly.
Like briefly tuning into an unfamiliar radio channel, you may notice something immediately, while continued Reiki treatments or regular self-practice allow the healing to deepen over time, supporting balance and healing across physical, emotional and subtler energetic levels.
This understanding is also reflected in the history of Reiki. Chujiro Hayashi developed a structured treatment clinic, Hawayo Takata emphasised complete and frequent whole-body treatments.
Reiki Level I traditionally gives the student the possibility to practise Reiki regularly on themselves.
Chujiro Hayashi's Reiki Clinic and Treatment Guide
Chujiro Hayashi's Reiki clinic in Tokyo demonstrates how systematically Reiki was practised in Japan.
The Hayashi Reiki Kenkyukai practitioners identified areas requiring Reiki by energetically scanning patients, who remained in the clinic until the perceived blockages eased.
Hayashi kept records of patients' illnesses, conditions and the Reiki hand positions used. These observations contributed to his Reiki Ryoho Shinshin and Guidelines for Reiki Healing Method.
The practical significance is that traditional Reiki combined structured hand positions and attention to areas indicated through Byosen with the understanding that Reiki energy itself flows where it is most needed, including beyond what the practitioner can consciously identify.
Hawayo Takata's Whole-Body Reiki - Organs, Glands and the Wider System
Hawayo Takata trained extensively with Hayashi and later taught a systematic whole-body Reiki treatment, often called the foundation treatment.
Her teaching included the head, front and back of the body and internal organs. In a contemporary interview, Takata described treating the eyes, ears, nose, mouth and glands of the neck, followed by the organs at the front and then the back of the body.
Accounts from her students also document particular attention to areas associated with the thyroid, ovaries, uterus and adrenal glands. For longer-standing concerns, she taught complete treatment followed by additional Reiki according to the individual situation.
Takata’s whole-body approach reflects the understanding that a symptom can be one expression of a wider pattern involving physical systems, organs, glands and subtler energetic levels. Her method therefore gave Reiki to the body as an interconnected system, with additional attention according to the individual concern.
This closely reflects Dorit’s own Reiki practice: the visible symptom can be one part of a wider energetic pattern, while Reiki supports healing across the whole system.
If you are interested in Reiki, inquire by email or WhatsApp first about a time and treatment or course. Then book through the relevant service page.
Reiki Research and Scientific Studies - Quality of Life, Pain and Physical Health
Contemporary Reiki research and scientific studies now examine physical and psychological outcomes across a growing range of health settings.
A 2025 review mapped 353 human biofield-therapy studies, including 255 randomized controlled trials. Reiki was the most frequently studied named modality, appearing in 88 studies.
A separate 2025 meta-analysis of randomized Reiki trials involving 661 participants found a statistically significant overall improvement in quality of life. One of the stronger subgroups involved eight or more sessions lasting at least 60 minutes.
In 2026, a systematic review and meta-analysis examined 15 randomized controlled Reiki trials in surgical care, involving 545 Reiki participants and 663 controls. The analysis reported reductions in postoperative pain and anxiety and changes in some blood-pressure outcomes. A subgroup receiving two or more Reiki interventions showed a significant reduction in postoperative pain at 48 hours.
A separate randomized sham-controlled study in mechanically ventilated intensive-care patients examined Reiki in relation to pain, anxiety, diastolic blood pressure and heart rate.
Current Reiki clinical research has therefore investigated areas including:
-
pain
-
quality of life
-
surgical recovery
-
anxiety
-
fatigue
-
physiological measures
-
cancer supportive care
-
intensive-care settings
-
repeated Reiki treatment protocols
These studies are valuable because they show that Reiki research extends into quality of life, pain, surgical recovery, intensive care and measurable physiological outcomes. At the same time, any study can answer only the questions its design is capable of testing.
Research is shaped by what can currently be observed, measured, conceptualised and studied, as well as by participant numbers, chosen outcomes, available instruments, duration and methodology. Something that has not yet been measurable within a particular research design remains outside the scope of that study; the study can establish findings about what it actually tested.
Scientific models themselves develop as observations, instruments and conceptual frameworks develop. Dorit therefore presents Reiki from several clearly distinguished perspectives: direct experience through practice, experiences reported by clients, the traditional understanding of Reiki, and what contemporary scientific research has demonstrated so far.
This is also relevant to Dorit's tuning in with higher consciousness energy practice. Here it refers to awareness less conditioned by accumulated beliefs, identities and conceptual limitations, with the possibility of accessing information beyond ordinary analytical thinking. This wider understanding extends beyond what contemporary Reiki research has so far been designed to examine.
Long-Term Reiki Practice - An Important Area for Future Research
One particularly important area remains long-term regular Reiki practice.
Most clinical Reiki studies examine treatments delivered over days or weeks.
Some follow participants afterwards, but following someone after a short Reiki intervention is different from studying regular Reiki treatment or Reiki self-practice continuing over many years.
One randomized study, for example, provided Reiki once a week for six weeks and found that differences in psychological distress were still present one year later. The researchers were following the effects of the original six-week intervention; the participants had not been receiving Reiki continuously throughout that year.
This leaves a significant research question:
What are the cumulative effects of regular Reiki treatment and Reiki self-practice over years?
A study of six sessions, eight sessions or several weeks can provide valuable information about that particular period of Reiki.
Research designed around sustained practice could examine a different question entirely: what changes, if any, become apparent when Reiki forms part of a person's life over much longer periods?
In Dorit’s experience, the Reiki connection deepens through many years of regular practice. Reiki Master and Master Teacher initiations also introduce additional symbols used within her lineage, extending the possibilities of Reiki healing into subtler energetic and higher-consciousness levels. Reiki itself is channelled from Universal energy rather than from the practitioner’s own personal energy.

Distance Reiki Healing for Animals Worldwide - Dogs, Cats, Other Companions
Animals are highly sensitive to energy and often absorb their owner’s stress, entities or disharmony. This can show up as restlessness, anxiety, changes in appetite, chronic issues or “not being themselves.”
Distance Reiki allows dogs, cats and other animal companions to receive Reiki wherever they are in the world, while remaining in their own familiar environment. Current animal-Reiki practice commonly emphasises this advantage of distance sessions, particularly for animals who are sensitive to travel, unfamiliar people or new environments.
Distance Reiki gently supports the animal’s nervous system, physical body, recovery and emotional balance. Animals receive Reiki according to their own willingness.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“Dear person who is reading this,
I had distance Reiki and Cosmoenergy sessions with Dorit. Both of these distance treatments were very effective. We also had these distance treatments for our animals and we are very grateful for the healing energy. Dorit could sense if something was wrong and helped us immediately with her angelic presence. We could not be more thankful.
And a little bit of Dutch: Als u onzeker bent over de behandeling op afstand voor uzelf of uw huisdier, raad ik u ten zeerste aan dit te doen.
Much love,
Ilke”

Reiki Healing & Attunements — Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is Reiki?
A: Reiki is a Japanese holistic healing practice within the Usui lineage. Reiki can be received remotely or hands-on and has traditionally been used for physical health concerns, pain and recovery, as well as emotional and energetic concerns and regular preventative care.
Q2: What is the difference between Reiki and other energy healing practices?
A: All is energy, yet Reiki is practiced via Usui lineage initiations that connect practitioners with specific REIKI frequencies through sacred symbols originally revealed to Mikao Usui during deep meditation and study.
Q3: What kind of energy does a Reiki practitioner use?
A: Reiki (pronounced Ray-Key) is a Japanese term combining “Rei” (universal energy) and “Ki” (vital life-force energy, also known as Qi or Prana). In Usui Shiki Ryoho practice, Reiki is channelled from Universal energy without depleting the practitioner’s energy. The symbols and initiations belonging to the different Reiki levels expand the possibilities of Reiki healing into subtler energetic and higher-consciousness levels.
Q4: Can I learn Reiki just for myself?
Yes. Reiki Level I begins with your own practice. You learn traditional hand positions, Reiki self-treatment and how to give yourself Reiki before gradually sharing Reiki with others if you choose. You can continue through further levels later without needing to decide at the beginning that you want to become a practitioner or teacher.
Q5: Do I need any experience to learn Reiki?
A: You do not need previous Reiki experience before beginning Level I, but you should always experience Reiki first with the teacher you are considering learning from. This allows you to feel how Reiki flows through that teacher, observe how it feels for you, and establish whether there is a genuine connection with the teacher before beginning the course.
Q6. Do I need to believe in Reiki for it to work?
No. Belief in Reiki is not required, although openness and a sincere willingness to receive are important. Everyone is born with life-force energy, which may increase but diminishes over the course of life. The subtler energetic layers beyond the physical body exist whether they are believed in or not. Reiki works with the energetic system through the level of Reiki the practitioner has been initiated into, with each initiation opening access to the symbols and healing possibilities of that level, regardless of whether the receiver believes in Reiki.
The experience itself allows you to observe how Reiki affects you over a longer period of time.
Q7: What are the benefits of distance Reiki?
A: Distance Reiki can be received anywhere - at home, in hospital or for animals. See “What Can Reiki Healing Help With?” above for the traditional uses of Usui Reiki.
Q8: What is whole-body Reiki treatment?
A: Whole-body Reiki treats you as an interconnected system rather than focusing only on one symptom. See “What Can Reiki Healing Help With?” above for the body systems and conditions Reiki has traditionally been used for and how this whole-body approach relates to Dorit’s practice.
Q9: What does current research say about Reiki?
A: Current research provides useful evidence about the specific outcomes it has been designed to measure, but it cannot define the full nature or possibilities of Reiki. Research is limited by current concepts, methods, instruments, study duration and what can presently be measured. Dorit therefore distinguishes between scientific findings, traditional Reiki understanding, client experiences and direct experience through long-term practice.
Q10: What are the long-term effects of regular Reiki practice?
A: Long-term regular Reiki remains under-researched, as most clinical studies last only days or weeks. In Dorit’s experience, continued Reiki treatment and self-practice allow healing to unfold over time across physical, emotional and subtler energetic levels.
Q11: Can I continue Reiki with Dorit if I learned from another teacher?
A: If you received Reiki initiations from another teacher and wish to continue with Dorit, you start again at Reiki Level I. Dorit’s approach is to continue through the levels with the same teacher, so each stage builds on the previous initiations, practice and understanding.
Q12: How do I schedule a remote Reiki treatment?
A: Enquire about availability. A time is confirmed and the distance session is conducted accordingly after booking is completed online. There is an option to arrange a distance-healing package.
Q13: What is included in a distance Reiki session?
A: A remote Reiki treatment takes approximately 30 minutes and includes a short conversation before and after the session, usually via WhatsApp.
Q14: How do I book a Reiki treatment or a Reiki course in Amsterdam, the Netherlands?
A: First enquire about availability via higherconsciousnessenergy@hotmail.com (or WhatsApp/call), then complete your booking on the Services page. Reiki healing can be worldwide; attunements are given only in person.
Q15: Where can I book a private Reiki course in Amsterdam?
A: One-to-one Usui Reiki courses for all levels are offered at Dorit’s home practice in Amsterdam East (near Oosterpark). Please inquire first as above.
Q16: Can I book a private Reiki retreat with an in-person attunement?
A: Yes. Dorit offers one-to-one custom retreats in Amsterdam, on a peaceful island in Estonia, or at another agreed location worldwide if Dorit is available to travel to you. Feel free to connect and inquire what you wish to include and when would be the best time for you.
