Reiki or IET: Which Energy Healing Class Should You Take First?
If you feel called to learn energy healing but aren’t sure where to begin, you’re not alone. Reiki and Integrated Energy Therapy® are both beautiful healing modalities, and each one offers a different doorway into working with energy.
This page is here to help you feel into which class may be the best first step for you.
Two Beautiful Ways to Begin
Both Reiki and Integrated Energy Therapy® can support healing, self-awareness, emotional balance, and spiritual connection.
Reiki is a gentle, foundational energy healing practice that helps you connect with universal life force energy. It is simple, grounding, and supportive for self-healing and helping others.
Integrated Energy Therapy® is an angelic energy healing modality that focuses on supporting emotional release, clearing stored energy, and connecting with the energy of the angels.
Neither path is better. The right beginning is the one that feels most aligned with where you are right now.
Choose Reiki First If…
-
You want a gentle foundation in energy healing.
-
You are drawn to self-healing, relaxation, and hands-on energy work.
-
You want something simple, grounded, and easy to begin practicing right away.
-
You feel called to support yourself, family, friends, clients, or pets with calming energy.
-
You are new to energy healing and want a strong starting place.
-
Reiki may be your best first step if you want to learn how to channel healing energy in a simple, peaceful, and foundational way.
Choose IET First If…
-
You feel drawn to angels, emotional healing, or releasing stored energy.
-
You are sensitive, intuitive, empathic, or feel emotions deeply.
-
You want to understand how energy can be held in the body and gently cleared.
-
You are already doing healing, intuitive, coaching, bodywork, or spiritual work and want another supportive tool.
-
You feel called to help yourself or others move through emotional blocks, old patterns, grief, or life transitions.
-
IET may be your best first step if you feel drawn to angelic energy and emotional release work.
Still Not Sure Which One to Choose?
Start with what feels most natural to you.
If you want a grounded foundation in energy healing, begin with Reiki.
If you feel drawn to angels, emotional healing, and releasing stored energy, begin with IET.
Many students eventually choose to learn both. Reiki and IET work beautifully together, and each class gives you tools you can use for your own healing and to support others.
A Note From Kristen
I teach both Reiki and Integrated Energy Therapy®, and I truly believe both paths are beautiful. Some students feel called to Reiki first because they want a gentle, grounded foundation. Others feel immediately drawn to IET because of the angelic connection and emotional healing focus.
There is no wrong choice. The class you feel pulled toward is often the right doorway for where you are in your healing journey.
