Embodied Reiki Training in Atlanta

Embodied Reiki Training is an in-person Usui Reiki Level I and Level II course in Sandy Springs, Georgia, just outside Atlanta. It is led by Reiki Master Jessica Calderon and is open to complete beginners as well as people who have already been attuned and want a more embodied understanding of the practice. The group is capped at six, and it ends with Reiki certification for Levels I and II.

The training is built for people who want Reiki as a daily practice, not a set of memorized techniques. Energy healers, yoga and bodywork professionals, therapists, coaches, parents, caregivers, teachers and animal care professionals will find a place in it, as will anyone who simply wants to understand their own energy and intuition better.

What to Expect

The training unfolds over about twelve weeks, with three five-hour in-person sessions and a two-hour Reiki Circle. The spacing is deliberate. It leaves time between attunements to practice, reflect and settle, rather than moving quickly from one level to the next.

Part 1: The Awakening begins with your own energy: noticing what you feel and how your intuition speaks to you. You learn the foundations of Usui Reiki, and first attunement work begins.

Part 2: The Expansion moves into breathwork, meditation and energy sensing practices, along with energetic hygiene and boundaries. You practice self-Reiki and hands-on Reiki with your peers.

Part 3: The Embodiment covers giving Reiki and distance Reiki, personalized feedback and reflection, and guidance on bringing the work into relationships, home, work and the care of people and animals.

The Reiki Circle is a two-hour gathering to practice, receive Reiki, ask questions and connect with the wider community of graduates.

The teaching honors the traditional Usui lineage from Dr. Mikao Usui while adding intuition, embodied awareness and practical application. Participants who share their birth date, time and location also have Human Design woven in, as a way to understand how their energy flows and how they make decisions intuitively.

With only six participants, there is more hands-on practice, more time for questions and closer attention from the teacher.

About Jessica Calderon

Jessica Calderon is a Shamanic Reiki Master, yoga teacher and embodiment coach based in Atlanta. Her path began with yoga in 2005, when the breathwork grounded her in her body and opened a connection to her intuition and emotions. After a season of big changes and burnout, she slowed down, meditated more consistently and learned to listen inward. Reiki followed, something she once rolled her eyes at, and it opened her to the subtle language of energy and intuition. Healing, in her words, came to feel less like fixing and more like remembrance.

She has taught yoga and worked with energy practices since 2010, and has practiced and taught Reiki for over 15 years. Her work draws on Reiki, yoga, meditation, breathwork, sound, Human Design and intuitive guidance. Past students describe her trainings as deep and designed for integration.
