    The Reiki Circle

    Free, ongoing practitioner community for AH students and alumni. Monthly Reiki swaps, technique sharing, mentorship. Few — if any — other programs in the Bay Area offer this.

Amethyst House offers in-person Reiki certification in San Jose, taught by Elizabeth Black (Reiki Master Teacher, RMA/ICRT affiliate, 15+ years’ experience). We teach Usui Reiki Ryoho and Holy Fire III® Reiki Ryoho in small, mentorship-driven classes — private or semi-private — rather than the weekend-retreat model used by most schools.

Who this is for: Healthcare workers, therapists, yoga teachers, energy workers, and anyone called to develop their own healing practice. Prerequisites: none for Degree I & II.

Why train with us (vs. weekend retreats or online programs):

  • Small student-to-teacher ratio (1–4 students)

  • Real, in-person placements and attunements plus supervised session practice (optional)

  • Lifetime mentorship — alumni keep training in the Reiki Circle for free

  • Optional intern hours at the studio after certification

  • Flexible scheduling — classes booked around your work life

  • RMA/ICRT affiliate program (the gold standard in Reiki credentialing)

Serving: San Jose, Willow Glen, Cambrian Park, Campbell, Los Gatos, Santa Clara, and the greater Bay Area.

Reiki FAQ

What our students are saying…

“I had always been interested in Reiki, so I decided to take Reiki I & II at Amethyst House. Elizabeth is such a wonderful teacher, and always made sure each of her students felt at ease. I look forward to taking additional classes as I embark on my spiritual journey at the Amethyst House.”

“I decided to try Reiki at the suggestion of a friend because I seemed to have an innate ability to heal. It was a tough decision for me though because I am a scientifically minded person and I wasn’t sure it was for me.


Eventually I decided on Amethyst House and it turned out not only is this a very professionally run establishment but the staff are gifted and knowledgeable as well - the perfect combination of a spiritual and scientific. They were able to answer my questions with ease. I was impressed.
