Michelle Karina Kyle is a Reiki teacher with a particular interest in Animal Reiki. Reiki is spiritual energy, which is present in all living beings and in all things. Reiki practitioners offer hands-on healing and other techniques to reduce stress and promote relaxation and healing. Michelle also studied Western Reiki (and is a certified Usui/Holy Fire® III World Peace Karuna Reiki® Master Teacher) but chooses to teach Traditional Japanese Reiki. Most Reiki people in Canada learned Western Reiki with New Age influences. Traditional Japanese Reiki is based on meditation, without New Age influences. It is what the founder of Reiki, Mikao Usui, practiced and taught, before changes were made by Hayashi, Takata and others. From 2014 to 2020, Michelle taught Kathleen Prasad’s Animal Reiki method based on traditional Japanese Reiki principles as taught by Frans Stiene. Since 2021, she teaches Frans Stiene’s method, which is the same for all species. Her classes include all human Reiki requirements, work with trees, and focus on animals. Michelle lives in rural Princeton, Ontario, Canada, between Woodstock and Brantford. Her classes are in person (not online) in small groups of two to six students.
Michelle completed Reiki Level 3 Teacher Training six times (and will complete it again with Frans Stiene in April 2024):
- Shinpiden with Kathleen Prasad of Animal Reiki Source (Animal Reiki based on Traditional Japanese Reiki) in 2014
- Master with William Lee Rand of the International Center for Reiki Training (Usui/Holy Fire® Reiki) in 2014
