A great Reiki course can be a life-changing event.
Literally.
Not only will it teach you to tap into an unlimited supply of chi energy so you can heal both yourself and others, it will also give you greater clarity, grounding, and the ability (if you put in some work) to stay vibrant and balanced, even around ‘negative’ people and places.
In fact, read our Google reviews and you’ll see just how amazed our students are with their experience.
And all of this after only a single weekend of our authentic Japanese Reiki training.
Our Melbourne Reiki course instructor, Jeremy O’Carroll, is one of the country’s most experienced Reiki teachers, has travelled to Japan many times, and has learned from healers in many countries, including India, Nepal, Thailand, and the USA.
Over the last 17 years, he has personally trained not only thousands of Reiki students, but also over 300 Reiki Masters, many of whom have gone on to become professional healers.
He is the author of the Amazon best-selling book, ‘The Perfect Reiki Course’, has founded the country’s largest Reiki practice group (with over 2500 members), and his classes have won several awards (including Best Victorian and New South Wales Reiki Centre).
More importantly, when you take one of his Melbourne Reiki courses, you will gain access to the most comprehensive Reiki course in Australia.
All of his students receive:
• A detailed video portal that includes videos, articles, and a pre-course program to increase your energy and help you get the most out of your Reiki class.
• A bonus chakra video portal to quickly balance and heal your 7 chakras.
• An app to easily access all video portal meditations and materials so that you never need fear forgetting anything you learn.
• A 21-day post-course program to consolidate and deepen all of your Reiki skills.
• Post-course phone and email support to fine-tune your healing practice!
• A free high-tech aura scan + 14-page aura report

"It opens people up to something bigger than them and gives them connection to a
deeper
part of themselves. Quite, quite beautiful. Jeremy is a gorgeous character!"
(Antje Janssen)
With all of the Reiki courses and info out there, it can be challenging to figure out which course to take.
You don’t want to get ripped off, and you don’t want to take a mediocre Reiki course that doesn’t give you the tools you need to go deeply – and powerfully – into your Reiki healing practice.
But here is the rub: until you have learned Reiki, you don't know what you don't know. So you don't know what things should be taught in a Reiki class, and you don't know what things should be left out.
As a result, it’s easy to simply choose a course based on location and price, even when, deep down, you know this isn’t the best way to make a decision. For even at a glance, it’s clear that no two courses are the same, and the last thing you want to do is regret your decision for the rest of your Reiki years.
You don’t want to discover that Reiki associations won’t recognize your certificate, and you don’t want to discover that you haven’t been taught up to 50% of the original Reiki techniques (this, sadly, is more often than not the case!).
The issue when doing your research, however, is that most Reiki websites don't say much about their courses. They tell you that Reiki is good for relaxation and healing. They give you a few course dates, maybe a price, and they hope you'll choose them.
If you are like many people, however, you want more than that. And that is why we’ve included a lot of information on this site.
But don't worry if it feels like too much. In that case, just skim through the bits you like.
Should you want an in-depth understanding of what you'll be learning, however, simply keep scrolling down the page, and you won't be short of info.
"Surprised me and exceeded my expectations. Thank you."
(Rebecca Hatton)
Or, if you don't much care for reading, you can also check out my YouTube channel for more ideas and inspiration.
Ultimately, when choosing a Reiki course, you need to ask yourself how much it would be worth to learn to connect to chi (energy) whenever you wanted.
How much would it be worth to be the brightest version of yourself with your friends and family?
How much would it be worth to not need to fear taking on the negative energy of people or places?
And that’s why I’d always recommend choosing what you consider to be the best course, even if you have to make an extra effort to attend it.
Students of Jeremy’s Melbourne Reiki courses have found Reiki helps for:
Jeremy’s courses are also ideal for anyone who is susceptible to the 'negative energy' of people and places. Through a series of classical Japanese meditations, he’ll teach you how to 'protect yourself' by strengthening the 'hara', one of your body's key energy centres.

"Didn't know what to expect. In a way it has left me with a sense of
'wonder' & some type of deep respect for Reiki & what possibilities
could
come from learning and practicing techniques. Everyone would benefit."
(Lesley Harris)
"I enjoyed every minute of it and couldn't get enough. We had a great group of people and the energy in the room was fantastic. Jeremy has a wealth of knowledge and i just wanted to pick his brain! Jeremy's gift is his ability to teach with clarity and humour so the information was absorbed very easily. I came away feeling empowered and looking forward to doing level 2"
"Had no idea what to expect , or what I thought I would get out of it. But could
not
believe how relevant it was just at this particular moment for me. I felt a tinge of
fear at the time of the first attunement but that disappeared and I felt good in my
own
skin for the first time in ages.
...Very much what I was searching for at this moment."
"I have been able to connect with myself again. I am looking forward to the future of healing, and its wonderful surprises. Definitely a feeling of being able to do something wonderful for yourself."
"I love it. I feel relaxed within me, and looking forward to let Reiki be part of my life, and [that of] others. [Learnt] how important the energy is for any living thing. And how important intuition is. Look forward to the 2nd level."
"I now feel more relaxed and have got more understanding and feeling. [The course] changed my mood and a lot of people would find it very meditative"
"Calm and peaceful. Confident to try different [Reiki] things on myself and others."
"Enlightening yet peaceful. Absolutely recommend it!"
"The course felt more 'complete' than expected. I feel very enriched and empowered. I really felt a connection with others in the group. The course makes you more aware of your spirituality and the possibilities available. Make you realise how much control you have over your thoughts and feelings."
"I was a little nervous and unsure about what to expect at first. Will I feel exhausted at the end of the day? Will I be able to do Reiki? I was pleasantly in a state of calm and centredness at the conclusion and felt that I can use Reiki and get better with more practice. Helps to tune the body and mind and reconnect with yourself. We don't do enough of it these days."
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 our centre's high-tech aura machine, the video shows what happens when I heal 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 in into a harmonious whole.
While we teach 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, we clearly highlight it, so you'll always have a clear idea of why things were originally taught as they were and why - occasionally - it's useful to incorporate additional techniques into our Reiki practice.
The result of this is a system where each piece complements the other, where you find yourself – almost without effort – going deeper into your healing journey.
In particular, our courses cover the five pillars (or diamonds) of the Japanese system:
"Well constructed, flows well, professional delivery, interesting
content."
(Karen Evans)
(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.

"It is presented in a very down-to-earth way, very intelligently and doesn't
take
itself too seriously but still treats Reiki with the utmost respect. I didn't expect
to
get so much in tune with energy so quickly."
(Sharon McKerchar)
To make sure you can both remember and go over everything Jeremy teaches (and, quite often, even extend it!), he has developed a detailed Level 1 video portal that you can access on both your desktop and mobile devices (yep, there is a snazzy app you can use).
The video portal includes instructional videos on both pre and post-course work, as well as info on all typical challenges you are likely to encounter.
The portal also includes bonus Reiki articles, mind maps, and meditations (so you can go over the ones we did in class).
The portal is a unique feature of our courses that will help take your Reiki to a deeper level.
To get an idea of how the Om Reiki 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 (and, ahem, a more youthful version of myself!).
Jeremy’s Reiki courses all use the most advanced (and expensive!) aura camera that he knows ofto 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 you get consistent, long-term benefits from the course, Om Reiki promises to support you well beyond the end of it. In fact – as mentioned –, we''ll even send you some pre-course material to help you energetically prepare for the weekend.
Crystals are a great way to complement (and strengthen) Reiki healing.
During our Level 1 Reiki courses, Jeremy includes a bonus section on cleansing crystals, meditating with crystals, and using them with Reiki for powerful healing.
At his courses, he also has a large selection of crystals which you can use throughout the weekend, and he'll even let you know which crystals will be most useful to you based on your energetic strengths and challenges.
Jeremy’s Reiki classes are ideal if you are considering working as a Reiki healer. Having not only trained thousands of Reiki students, but also over 300 Reiki masters (many of whom have gone on to become professional Reiki teachers and therapists), he knows what you need to do to take the 'professional leap'.
So if you feel intuitively drawn to go all the way with Reiki, he’ll not only teach you the most advanced Reiki techniques for your personal practice, he'll also help you develop the healing skills needed to work professionally.
When Jeremy first started teaching Reiki full-time 17 years ago, he taught Reiki as he'd been taught. This meant that his students did pretty well what students 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, and in part due to experience, Jeremy soon realized that students needed a lot more support to extract the maximum from a Reiki 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 meditations (both guided with video instructions) as well as general information on how best to prepare for your course.
The meditations are simple and easy – even if you 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 me sending you daily emails with techniques to practice, and further information to deepen everything you have learned.
Having taught full-time for the last 17 years, he has a good idea of the likely challenges you will face post-course, and he has designed the 21-day program to not just help you overcome them but also develop real confidence in everything you have learned.
"Exceeded my expectations. Reiki is such an effective self-help tool and the
workshop
was a very safe and comfortable place to be. Jeremy, you are a very easy person to be
around
which made learning that much more enjoyable."
(Helen Argyrou)

Jeremy has held regular monthly practice nights in Fitzroy North for 15+ years. 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 2000+ members and a 5-star rating, we are most likely Australia's largest and most trusted group of its kind
Jeremy’s Level 1 course (also known as 'shoden' level) will help you connect to Reiki energy. At its completion, you will:
"Was worried I wouldn't feel the energy or be able to treat others. That I would
be
too different to others attending and feel self-conscious. All fears put to rest!
"It
was exciting, relaxing and mind-opening. It puts you in touch with different aspects of
yourself. It's extremely calming...Joyful experience to meet others and give them
Reiki."
(Lara Williamson)
All courses and Reiki certificates at the Om Reiki Centre are recognised by the ARC - Australia's leading Reiki association - and the International Institute for Complementary Therapists.
Our Reiki course certificates will also be recognised by all traditional Reiki associations around the world.
This is important if you are considering becoming a Reiki practitioner or using Reiki as part of an already established healing modality.
Upon completion of your Level 1 training, you'll receive our certificate that serves as formal recognition of your qualification.
This certificate ensures you never need to retake Level 1 if you decide to study further or practice professionally. It's your tangible proof of completing authentic Japanese Reiki training that meets the highest industry standards.
Sad to say, but in lot of Reiki courses, the manuals students receive are little better than a collection of plagiarized photocopies!
Taken from a multitude of sources, these materials seldom fit together, making them of, well, dubious value.
TTo ensure the Om Reiki Centre didn't fall into this trap, Jeremy created a detailed,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.
We provide complimentary tea (mostly herbal) and a selection of chocolate and sweets for energy! (Sounds crazy, but your body will appreciate it.)
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, is air-conditioned for both heating and cooling, and is a perfect high-energy oasis that's close to everything.
Public Transport and Free All-Day Parking
The 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.

Jeremy’s Reiki courses come with a 100% no-strings-attached satisfaction guarantee. In fact, he is so confident you will be delighted by what you learn that If you do the pre-course to prepare yourself (you’ll find it in the bonus video portal), come along to the course, see it through to the end (you have to attend both days), and for some remarkable reason aren't happy with what you learned, simply tell him at the conclusion of the final day, hand in your course materials (manual and certificate) and he’ll refund your entire course fee!
