My name is Veronique, I am a certified Reiki Teacher/Practitioner in the Japanese lineage “Usui Reiki Ryoho”. Originally from France, I have been studying and practicing Reiki in various parts of the world and settings since 2008. Aside from my private practice, I worked and volunteered in a hospital, a cancer wellness center, yoga studios, a senior living community and various organizations in Chicago. I became a Reiki Teacher at the Japanese Culture Center in Chicago in 2019. I have been exploring both traditional and more contemporary approaches to the practice of Reiki. I have pursued these varied interests in the US as well as in Europe, and Japan where Reiki originates from. I believe in regular practice and continuing education. I am a graduate student from the International House of Reiki and the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Certification Program (MMTCP), a professional member of Shibumi International Reiki Association, the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT), and the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP).

WHAT IS REIKI?
Reiki is a Japanese healing art that was developed in Japan in the 1920’s by Usui Mikao. The original name was “shin shin kaizen Usui Reiki Ryoho” which can be translated as the Usui healing method for the improvement of body and mind. The method has 5 main elements that include breath meditation, the precepts, symbols and mantras, hands-on healing and the Reiju or blessings.HOW CAN REIKI HELP YOU?
The practice of Reiki brings balance and harmony in body, mind and energy. It strengthens the body-mind connection allowing to us relax, center ourselves, gain clarity, find peace, and develop a deep connection within ourselves and with the world around us. The practice of Reiki restores the body’s natural rhythm and equilibrium allowing healing to happen. - Usui Reiki Level III/Shinpiden Class - In Person wit Frans StieneHoliday Inn Chicago North Evanston, Evanston, IL
3 Day Shinpiden Reiki Course taught by world-renowned Reiki Teacher Frans Stiene.
Link for info / registration: Internaitonal House of Reiki
Contact me for questions: Veronique @ moonstonesanctuary@gmail.comShinpiden is the Japanese word for ‘mystery teachings’. It is aimed at Level II practitioners or established Reiki Teachers who wish to continue their journey, a journey that is ongoing long after you complete the Shinpiden course. It is therefore not just about teaching and is even suitable for those who wish to simply develop their personal Reiki practice and occasionally teach those around them.
Self-empowerment is attained in Shinpiden through a strong energetic connection to the source of Reiki. It is also the result of the confidence you will feel as a result of your thorough knowledge of Reiki – how it works, what all the variations on Reiki are, where Reiki stands in the world today, the Japanese shirushi (symbols) and kototama (mantras) and their connection to Japanese philosophies and what the origin of Reiki’s spiritual nature is.
One of the major focuses of this course is to tap into the sense that you are, and always were a great, bright light – this is achieved by working with the fourth shirushi and kototama.
All Shinpiden graduates receive
- FREE optional post-course online training in personal and professional development
- FREE membership to the KI Campus
- The opportunity for their students to have access to the KI Campus courses
- The opportunity to be listed as a Graduate Teacher on the IHReiki website
- All manuals to use for their own students
- Usui Reiki Ryoho Shinpiden Certificate – allowing you to teach these teachings
Following on from your Shinpiden course, there are two FREE optional post-course online training you can take part in. One is the Personal Training Program and the other is the Professional Training Program. The personal stream is a pre-requisite to the Professional stream.
