About Michelle Courtney Berry
(E-mail her at: michellecourtneyberry@gmail.com )
Usui Reiki Master and Karuna ReikiŽ Master Teacher Michelle Courtney Berry, MPS (Communication, Cornell University) is the owner of Reiki Goddess and has practiced reiki since 2001. After receiving reiki for almost a year, Michelle was attuned to Reiki Level I in 2001 in the tradition of Usui Reiki Ryoho. As suggested by her Reiki Master Teacher, in the tradition of the Usui system brought to the U.S. by Hawayo Takata and suggested by the founder of reiki, Dr. Makao Usui http://www.reiki.nu/history/takata/takata.html and http://www.reiki.nu/history/usui/usui.html), Michelle went into deep meditation and contemplation and gave herself reiki for 21 days as she focused on increasing her spirituality in Level I-Shoden.
After this time of contemplation, Michelle shared reiki with over 100 individuals, eventually opening her own practice. The following year, she was attuned to Reiki Level II Practitioner (Okuden), in which she focused on inner teachings, the chakra system, auras and meridians, personal healing, distant healing and ancient teachings. During this time she expanded her reiki practice with gusto. In 2003, Michelle became a Reiki Master in the Usui Natural System of Reiki (Shinpi-den). Since that time, Michelle has worked with numerous others providing reiki in private practice, at schools, hospitals, colleges, senior centers, health and wellness fairs, healing circles and conferences throughout the U.S.
In 2009, she became a Reiki Master Teacher in Karuna ReikiŽ (attuned by Diane Hecht, Reiki Master Teacher). Michelle is licensed by the International Center for Reiki Training in Karuna ReikiŽ. This form of reiki is a powerful and peaceful form of reiki taught ONLY to ReikI Masters. Karuna ReikiŽ helps break negative patterns, restores balance, releases fear and encourages peace. Karuna ReikiŽ is offered exclusively by teachers licensed by the International Center for Reiki Training.
