Reiki Level 1 for Beginners – A Lifelong Self-Care Practice

Starting on my Reiki path was truly inspirational. At the time, I wasn’t sure where it would lead, but I knew it was something I needed to follow. Reiki introduced me to a like-minded community of women that I hadn’t experienced before, and it’s been my anchor ever since.

Like many women, I see myself as a spiritual person — but one who didn’t always feel comfortable talking about it. For fear of being judged as “woo woo” (a term I really don’t resonate with), I kept parts of myself quiet.

Back then, I thought my path was clear: first massage, then yoga. But Reiki has always drawn me back. It has been my saving grace in times of uncertainty and change. Reiki is my rock, my calm in the storm, and the practice that helps me to keep evolving into who I truly am.

Now, I have the privilege of teaching this powerful Japanese healing technique to other women — and seeing how Reiki becomes a lifelong source of comfort, healing, and empowerment in their lives too.

Why learn Reiki?

Reiki Level 1 is open to everyone, no matter your background or experience. Once you are attuned, Reiki stays with you for life, offering a grounding, restorative, and deeply supportive practice you can return to every day.

Learning Reiki can help you:
✨ Reduce stress and restore balance
✨ Feel calmer, centred, and more confident
✨ Support emotional healing and resilience
✨ Ease anxiety or the effects of past trauma
✨ Share energy healing with yourself, family, and friends

Many women I’ve taught now use Reiki daily — as a simple but powerful act of self-care.

Rebecca Dobson

Rebecca founded GetCalmer in 2001, with a vision to pass on her knowledge and passion of holistic therapies to others and ultimately to help people "get calmer".

Having a sales background, Rebecca knew only too well the stressful effects that working in a pressurised environment can have on the body, and how little people take care of themselves.

With this in mind, Rebecca followed her passion and spent a year re-training in various holistic therapies, including massage and Reiki, gaining experience working privately, in spa’s and practicing onsite massage in the workplace.

Since completing her Sivananda Yoga Teacher Training in 2006, Rebecca has been taught by many worldwide accredited yoga teachers over the years, including Claire Missingham, Kathryn Budig, Jason Crandell and the most influential Dr. Francoise Freedman, Director and Founder of Birthlight. All of which have shaped her in to the yoga teacher she is today. Rebecca would describe herself as a down to earth teacher and therapist who is personable, creative, patient and intuitive. She lightly weaves yoga philosophy and anatomy into her classes, making them well-rounded and accessible. In her opinion, yoga isn’t just about busting a pose, it’s so much more than that; yoga can help you understand yourself, others and the world we live in; all you need is an open mind.

Rebecca’s next mission is to spread the word to every Woman on the profound benefits of yoga to help improve and enhance Women’s health. Who knows at this point where it will lead her, but I bet you any money it’ll be something truly exciting!
