Developing Your Reiki Practice

Christine Renee is a Reiki Master Teacher and Shamanic Practitioner living in Bozeman, Montana. Reiki has been part of her life since childhood with some of her earliest memories of her father offering Reiki to friends and family. It was at the age of 21, while training as a student midwife in Alaska, that Christine Renee embarked on her own Reiki journey. In 2004, Christine Renee became a Reiki Master after her move to Montana.

It is said that during the darkest times of life that we “see the light” which guides and sometimes even propels us toward a brighter future that we are destined for - Christine Renee was no exception. A divorce from an abusive partner, a drawn out custody battle over her eldest child; including law enforcement being called repeatedly over the most nonsensical things, a colicky baby who was up every hour on the hour, all the while trying to complete her midwifery training and hold down a paying job. Her body temple was crumbling under the stress. After several trips to the emergency room, Christine Renee was diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder (ulcerative colitis) - her colon was bleeding out.

Something needed to change fast. It was then that Christine Renee made the decision of a lifetime. She quit her job on the spot and devoted her life to getting healthy physically, emotionally and spiritually. She decided that if it was not Reiki or meditation it didn’t deserve her attention.

She began repairing her body temple physically, emotionally and spiritually by adopting a holistic approach to life. And it worked! By studying the chakras, she learned how to treat and repair dis-ease in the body by healing the root cause. She adopted a healthy diet of whole foods which repaired and maintained her health.

With health restored, she attracted more clients and students. Although she began teaching Reiki in 2009, her business accelerated. To date, Christine Renee has attuned more than 150 students and close to 20 Reiki Masters.

In addition to her brick and mortar business in Bozeman, Montana where she provides Reiki sessions, healing circles, teaches courses and hosts events to educate, support and empower her local community, she has developed a strong international community on social media. Her Facebook group, ReikiCafe, is almost 2000 members strong and helps to educate, inform, and empower Reiki Practitioners of all levels and backgrounds. The group hosts webinars, Reiki Distant Healing Circles and guest speakers as well as a self-care Reiki challenge to promote daily self-healing.

The ReikiCafe University is loaded with Reiki inspired courses such as a Reiki Business Bootcamp and a Chakra Mastermind to teach practitioners of all levels what is not typically offered in Reiki training, but absolutely empowers Reiki Practitioners to step into their healing and Reiki calling. Many find they are more confident to spread the Reiki love to those around them!

Christine Renee’s life goals are to touch 1 million lives with Reiki, develop an American Reiki Association, and to open ReikiCafe healing centers across the United States, Canada and other countries to spread Love, Light and healing to all.

When she is not developing courses, running webinars, organizing retreats and mentoring others, she is a devoted mother of two and wife to a loving and supportive husband.
