Usui/Holy Fire® Reiki I and II Training
In-Person, Ottawa
October 23–25, 2026
Learn to work with energy through experience, practice, and integration.
Reiki is more than a technique learned over a weekend. The Grounded Movement Reiki I & II Training is a complete educational pathway designed to help you develop a practical and embodied relationship with universal life force energy. First within yourself, and then in your work with others as a Reiki practitioner.
Through education, in-person experience, Reiki Placements and Experiences, supervised practice, and a three-month integration pathway, you will learn to observe, feel, and work with energy with greater awareness, presence, and trust.
Early Bird Investment: $700 CAD
Regular Investment: $850 CAD
Returning Reiki Students: Students who have previously completed Reiki I or II may join the complete Grounded Movement Reiki I & II Training for $550 CAD.
Who this is for
You do not need a background in energy work. You need a genuine interest in learning, experiencing, and practising Reiki.
This training is open to anyone who feels called to explore Reiki as a personal practice, a professional tool, or both.
This training is for you if:
You are curious about energy work and want a grounded, structured introduction to Reiki.
You want to develop greater awareness of sensations, subtle shifts, and energetic experience.
You are interested in learning self-Reiki and integrating Reiki into your personal life.
You work in wellness, yoga, bodywork, or another supportive practice and want to expand your existing tools.
You feel called to work with others through Reiki.
You have completed Reiki I or II elsewhere but want to move through a more structured process of education, practice, embodiment, and integration.
THE GROUNDED MOVEMENT APPROACH TO REIKI
Education. Experience. Embodiment. Practice. Integration.
The Grounded Movement approach to Reiki is not designed to rush students through Reiki I and Reiki II over a single weekend and immediately issue a certificate.
Students first develop an understanding of Reiki and energy.
They then experience and practise Reiki in person.
Finally, they are given time to integrate the practice into their lives and their work with others before completing certification.
Throughout the training, students are encouraged to develop greater energetic awareness and observe sensations and subtle shifts such as heat, vibration, density, and movement without immediately creating stories around the experience.
The intention is to develop a practical and embodied relationship with universal life force energy while learning to trust observation, feeling, awareness, and intuition alongside the logical mind.
THE TRAINING PATHWAY
A Three-Phase Approach to Reiki I & II
PHASE ONE: PRE-TRAINING ONLINE FOUNDATIONS
Completed before the in-person training
Before arriving for the in-person immersion, students complete foundational education designed to establish a shared understanding of Reiki and the Grounded Movement approach.
Students explore:
The history and origins of Reiki
Reiki lineage and the Holy Fire® Reiki lineage
Ethics of Reiki practice
Why we learn and practise Reiki
The Grounded Movement intention and approach to teaching Reiki
An introduction to energy work
Universal life force energy
Assigned reading from the training manual

Meet Your Reiki Teacher,
Imad Khaddaj
I have been practicing and studying Reiki for over a decade — alongside Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tibetan Buddhism, somatic movement, breathwork, Yin Yoga, and thousands of hours of teaching and holding space for others.
What I bring to this training is not just knowledge. It is devotion. I became a certified personal trainer and breathwork facilitator. I have devoted years to meditation retreats and mindfulness practice. This work is not something I picked up along the way. I built my life around it.
More than any certification, what sets my teaching apart is the integrity, discipline, and depth with which I show up. This is not a career for me. It is a lifelong path.

THE EXPERIENCE
A grounded and supportive space to learn, experience, practise,and integrate.
The environment I create is grounded, supportive, and safe—not just physically, but in how people feel when they are in the room.
I am deeply attentive to where students are as they move through this work. Reiki Placements andExperiences are part of a larger educational and embodied process. The space I hold for this training ispresent, unhurried, and centred around genuine practice.
I lead through example, integrity, and devotion to the work.
This is a space where depth is valued over performance and where students are encouraged to observe,experience, practise, and develop their own relationship with Reiki.
