The Om Reiki Centre specializes in Melbourne Reiki courses for students who care about the quality and depth of their healing practice.
Our Reiki courses provide the most comprehensive and advanced Reiki training anywhere in Australia, offering a combination of features – an accompanying video portal, pre and post-course training, etc. – that no other course offers. (See below for full details.)
What's more, we teach all of the key elements of the traditional Japanese Reiki system – many of which are missing from the vast majority of Reiki courses today!
The course designer, Jeremy O'Carroll, has studied Reiki from many of the world's best Reiki teachers in India, Thailand, Hawaii, mainland USA and Australia, has visited Japan several times - and uses a unique 7-step learning process to guarantee powerful healing results.
He is a former lecturer and tutor at the University of Melbourne, has been teaching Reiki full- time since 2007, and is the author of over 100 Reiki articles and one Amazon best-selling Reiki book: 'The Perfect Reiki Course – Everything You Need to Know Before Your First Class'.
He has also written two novels: Full Speed, The Slob's Guide to the Perfect Job, and (the soon to be released) Call of the Silver Cockatoo – novels about finding your true self amid the pressures and expectations of everyday life.
All Melbourne Level 1 Reiki courses are either conducted by Jeremy or Reiki Master Greg Riddell.
Greg has been the Om Reiki Centre's chief healer since 2013, is an expert in traditional Japanese Reiki, and has studied under internationally renowned teachers Frans Stiene, Bob and Betty Thuan and Hyakuten Inamoto.
He lives and breathes healing and meditation work, has a vast amount of experience, and is much loved both for the clarity of his teaching, and his ability to cultivate the unique healing potential each student possesses.
In recognition of its work, the Om Reiki Centre has recently been awarded 'Best Reiki Practice 2019 - Victoria and NSW' in the GHP Alternative Medicine and Holistic Health Awards.

Students of our Melbourne courses have found Reiki to help for:
Our courses are also ideal for anyone who is susceptible to the 'negative energy' of people, places and spirits.
Through a series of classical Japanese meditations, we teach you how to 'protect yourself' by strengthening the 'hara', one of your body's key energy centres.
To find out how this works and why most 'protection methods' fail, click here.
Reiki uses a special form of 'ki' (Japanese for Qi or energy) to rebalance and then charge the body's energy system. It doesn't heal the body itself, rather it gives the body the resources needed to do so.
With regular practice, many Reiki healers feel happier, healthier, more productive and better able to deal with situations that would previously have caused large amounts of stress.
They also often report feeling mentally clearer and better able to make decisions.
To give you an idea of just how powerful Reiki is - and how quickly it can work – watch the 2- minute video below.
Using the centre's high-tech aura machine, the video shows what happens when the founder of Om Reiki – Jeremy O'Carroll – heals a client.
Note how in less than two minutes, the client's chakras and energy system improve dramatically.
One reason that many Reiki courses fail to get optimum results is that they lack system and structure. This is particularly prevalent in Western Reiki lineages (i.e. those that have been part of Reiki's journey from Japan, to Hawaii to the rest of the world).
The reason for this is that many Reiki teachers have added techniques from other healing modalities. This has occurred over the last six decades and has resulted in much of what is currently called 'Reiki' having little or nothing to do with the original system.
That, of course, doesn't make these techniques bad. The problem is simply that the coherence of the original system has been lost. There are many valuable pieces, but they don't fit together into a harmonious whole.
While the Om Reiki Centre teaches material (like the chakras) that was not part of the original system, the integrity of the original system is never lost. Where new information is taught, it is clearly highlighted, enabling students to get a better vision of why things were originally taught as they were and why - occasionally - it might benefit them to incorporate additional techniques into their practice.
The result of this is that they experience a system where each piece complements the other and they have a steady experience of energetic progress.
In particular, our courses cover the five pillars (or diamonds) of the Japanese system:
(energy ceremonies that connect students to the Reiki energy.)
that refine and strengthen a student's connection to energy.
which enables students to use energy to heal themselves and others.
(only introduced in level 2) that help students strengthen their connection to certain forms of Reiki energy.
or principles that promote a healthy energetic system, facilitate powerful cleansing and provide a philosophical and spiritual backdrop to Reiki practice.
(To find out why most Reiki courses are missing up to 50% of the original Japanese Reiki system, click here.

(Note: Our aura machine won't be available at our April 9 course, but if you attend that course and come along to any of our Reiki practice nights, we'll give you a free reading.)
Our Reiki courses all use the most advanced (and expensive!) aura camera that we know of to provide a deeper understanding and analysis of all students' energy data.
The aura camera gathers information on your:
It then summarizes your basic energy type and gives you a comprehensive written analysis of your strengths, challenges and opportunities.
One of the major reasons many Reiki students fail to continue with their practice in the years following a course is that they are given little - or no! - structure or guidance after it.
As a result, their Reiki becomes a little like most gym memberships: it's used and enjoyed for a short burst of time but is then forgotten about the moment life grows busy.
To ensure students get consistent, long-term benefits from their course, the Om Reiki Centre is dedicated to supporting students well beyond its conclusion. In fact, it even offers pre-course material to energetically prepare students for the weekend.
While not part of the traditional Japanese Reiki system, crystals can nevertheless be used to complement (and strengthen) Reiki healing.
During our Level 1 Reiki courses, we include a bonus section on cleansing crystals, meditating with crystals, and using them with Reiki for powerful healing.
At our course, we have a large selection of crystals which you can use throughout the weekend, and we will let you know which crystals will be most useful to you based on your energetic strengths and weaknesses.
When Jeremy first started teaching Reiki full-time almost 15 years ago, he taught Reiki as he had been taught. This meant that students did pretty well what they did everywhere else: they rocked up for the course, attended it and then said 'ciao'!
Nowadays it seems crazy to teach like this, but this is what almost everyone – even to this day – still does.
They run a course over two days – we hope! – and that's that. Students are not primed before the course to help them get the most out of it, and they are not guided afterwards (to ensure mastery and follow through of the techniques learned).
This means that even though almost everyone enjoys whichever Reiki course they take, most students don't get nearly as much out of it as they could.
Perhaps in part due to his background in teaching (Jeremy lectured and tutored at the University of Melbourne), and in part due to experience, Jeremy soon realized that students needed a lot more support to extract the maximum from his course.
As a result, he introduced both some pre-course exercises and a post-course 21-day program.
The pre-course work is simple to do, and includes two important meditation practices (with video instructions and downloadable audio files) as well as general information on how best to prepare for your course.
The meditations can easily be done by anyone – even students who haven't practised meditation before – and they will ensure you are energetically ready to get the most out of your weekend.
The post-course 21-day program is done principally via email, and involves us sending you daily emails with techniques to practice, and further information to deepen everything you have learned.
With thousands of students going through Om Reiki and ten years of experience, we know the likely challenges you will face post-course, and this 21-day program is designed to not just help you overcome these but also develop real confidence in everything you have learned.
To make sure students can both remember and go over material taught (and, quite often, even extend it!), we have developed a beautifully presented and detailed Level 1 video portal which you can access on both your desktop and mobile devices.
The video portal includes instructional videos on pre-course work, post-course work, as well as all typical challenges students are likely to encounter.
The portal also includes bonus Reiki articles, mind maps, and downloadable meditations (so you can go over the meditations we did in the course).
It is a unique feature of our courses that helps take your Reiki to a deeper level.
To get an idea of how our video portals work, you can sign up for our free introductory portal 'Everything You Need to Know About Reiki'.
It has videos on all of the commonly asked Reiki questions, and will show you the quality of our video portal platforms.
Sometimes you have a unique question/situation that isn't covered in any of our teaching materials. If this is the case, then we're happy to answer your questions – no matter how silly or weird you think they might be!– via email or phone.

We have been holding regular monthly practice nights in Fitzroy North for almost fourteen years now. They are the perfect place for you to continue with your Reiki practice, learn new meditation and Reiki healing techniques, ask questions and make friends with like-minded people.
With 1800+ members and a 5-star rating, we are most likely Australia's largest and most trusted group of its kind.
Our Level 1 course (also known as 'shoden' level) helps students connect to Reiki energy. At its completion, students will:
All courses at the Om Reiki Centre are recognised by the ARC - Australia's leading Reiki association - and the Association of Australian Reiki Professionals.
Our certificates will also be recognised by all traditional Reiki associations around the world.
This is important to anyone who is considering becoming a Reiki practitioner or using Reiki as part of an already established healing modality.
Sad to say, but in most of the Reiki courses Jeremy O'Carroll attended, the manuals he received were little better than a collection of plagiarized photocopies!
Taken from a multitude of sources, these materials hardly fit together, making them of scant value.
To ensure the Om Reiki Centre didn't fall into this trap, he has created a high quality, 70-page original manual that covers all of the course information in a logical, coherent, and step-by-step manner.
As a result, you will never be left struggling to recall any of the key concepts that we teach. It is all there in precise detail.
The manual is the fruit of many years' experience and research and will prove a great reference tool for any personal or professional Reiki work that you go on to do.
If COVID restrictions are over, participants will also receive complimentary tea (mostly herbal) and a selection healthy nibbles (nuts, apricots, chips and the like). If not, you will need to bring your own snacks!
We hold our Melbourne Reiki courses in our beautiful studio in Brunswick Street, Fitzroy North, opposite the Edinburgh Gardens. The studio is light and luminous, has a state-of-the-art aircon unit for both heating and cooling (we're talking unbelievably fresh air!), and is a perfect high-energy oasis that's close to everything.
Our Reiki venue is blessed with public transport to within 70 metres of the door and free all-day parking opposite (along the park in Brunswick Street).
It is also within easy cycling distance for anyone who lives in Clifton Hill, Carlton, Northcote and Collingwood.
(Note: for info on our Daylesford Nov. 21 course, click here.)
Our Melbourne Level 1 Reiki courses come with a 100% no-strings-attached satisfaction guarantee.
In fact, we are so confident you will be delighted by what you learn that If you come along to one of our courses, see it through to the end, and don't believe you learned great skills that will have a positive impact on your life, simply tell us at the conclusion of the final day and we will refund your entire course fee.

So if you decide to enrol, commit to coming, be there rain, hail or shine. There is great power in that, and it will ensure you have an amazing experience.
Remember: after enrolling, doubts sometimes come up. This is normal. Your ego - your small self - is not just afraid of change, it knows that Reiki will create change! It knows how powerful it is. So if your ego resists, laugh at it and trust the intuition, the inner guidance or inspiration that had you enrol in the first place. It will never fail you.
