With Kay Gillard
“I specialise in helping Reiki people develop their skills and understanding so they can reach their highest potential as healers. My unique, shamanic-inspired Reiki courses are my favourite way to do this. They are grounded in my 19 years of work as a shamanic practitioner and Reiki healer, and I first created these courses in back in 2009 so they are tried and tested!”
About Reiki Sound Healing
This workshop is an opportunity for Reiki people to explore the beauty and power of sound healing. All students will be invited to deepen their connection to the Reiki source, with Reiju empowerments given to promote the deepest possible healing experience on the weekend.
Please note, drums are not included in the price. Students are invited to bring their own, or I can assist you by sourcing one for you or directing you to a trusted supplier.
I am an experienced vocal sound healer and have spent many years developing my own healing voice techniques and leading groups of healers and spiritual seekers in group voice work for healing. For this I draw on my background in singing, magic, mantra and shamanic healing training. Kotodama are part of the original Reiki system, and we lead with those, however I invite and support students to go far further than standard Reiki training will ever cover. This is intuitive, creative voice work empowered by Reiki.
I also have over 15 years of shamanic medicine drumming experience, and in 2008 I trained in the Reiki Drumming techniques designed by Michael Arthur Baird in 1999 in Arizona. I was one of the earliest qualified Reiki Drum Master Teachers in the UK and, while I no longer work within the confines of that system, my own unique work with Reiki and the drums owes much to the ideas originated in that training.
All Shamanic Approach to Reiki workshops include comprehensive notes provided for further study and for reference later, giving more detail than we can cover on the day. The workshops themselves are focused on specific, practical work and shamanic journeying and/or perception exercises. I encourage you to read afterwards to integrate the teachings, but most of all to trust your own intuition and experiment with these techniques on your own and with your fellow practitioners. It is through your own practice you will find your own unique medicine and perspective as a healer.
Course Outline
Working with the voice, we will explore the Japanese Kotodama traditionally associated with Reiki, moving from basic chanting and toning to the building of non-traditional (and extremely magical!) rolling mantras within the group. We will also explore the vibrational power of words and affirmations, practicing ways to bring positive focus into healing sessions for our clients and ourselves.
As well as working with the voice we will work with the drum, learning deep healing and shamanic journeying techniques for ourselves and our clients. Shamanic medicine drumming is an ancient practice, and together we will learn to weave Reiki healing into our drums in Reiki drumming techniques.

Using your data
When you enrol on a course with Reiki Evolution using the payment button above, PayPal will send us your contact details (name, e-mail address, postal address) and we will ask you for your telephone number. We need to store and use this data to deal with your enrolment: we need to know where to post your certificate and we need to send your details to the Reiki teacher so that they know who you are and when you are booked to attend, and so they can contact you to introduce themselves, and in extreme circumstances they might need to call you to cancel a course at the last minute (though this hardly ever happens). We also need to keep your details for tax purposes and to maintain a list of former students so that we can issue replacement certificates in the future, if a student’s certificate was lost or damaged. You can find our privacy policy here: Privacy Policy.
If you’re not happy with your data being used in this way then please do not enrol on a course with us, because we can’t enrol you without using and holding that information.
