Are you curious about energy healing, looking for a way to manage stress naturally, or interested in helping others feel better—physically, emotionally, or spiritually? Reiki might be the gentle, empowering tool you've been searching for.
And if you're based in Tweed Heads or Coolangatta, there’s no better place to begin your Reiki journey than here. From peaceful natural settings to a highly qualified teacher, here are five powerful reasons to learn Reiki in Tweed Heads.
1. The Perfect Environment for Healing

Tweed Heads offers the ideal setting to dive into Reiki practice. Surrounded by ocean breezes, subtropical rainforests, and sacred Aboriginal land, this region naturally supports deep relaxation and reconnection with self.
Learning Reiki here isn’t just about technique—it’s about attuning to nature and inner stillness. Whether you're practicing on the beach at sunrise or reflecting in a quiet garden after class, the healing energy of the land becomes part of your learning experience.
If you're flying into the Gold Coast, turn it into a spiritual mini-break! Courses are held in the heart of Coolangatta, a short Uber from the Coolangatta (Gold Coast) airport, and surrounded by food and accommodation options and just 5 minute walk from some of Queensland's most beautiful beaches.
2. Learn from a Qualified, Evidence-Based Reiki Teacher
At The Healing Bower, Reiki courses are taught by Dr. Jodie Mehrtens—a Reiki Master and PhD-qualified scientist with a background in natural medicine, human biology and molecular ecology. Her approach bridges traditional Usui Reiki with modern health science, making the training both grounded and deeply credible.
Whether you’re a nurse, support worker, or simply someone wanting to explore energy healing, you’ll receive:
Clear, structured instruction
Research-informed insights into Reiki’s physiological effects
Personalised support in small, in-person classes
A structured and practical application of Reiki energy for self healing or in a clinical setting
You don’t have to be “spiritual”—just curious and open to learning.
3. Support Your Own Wellbeing While Helping Others
Reiki is a beautiful practice for self-care and supporting others. Many students begin learning Reiki to manage their own stress, burnout, or emotional overwhelm—especially those in caring professions. With tools for daily grounding, nervous system regulation, and energy protection, Reiki helps you:
Stay centred under pressure
Sleep more peacefully
Replenish your energy naturally
And once you’ve completed Reiki Level 2, you’ll be qualified to share Reiki with others in a personal or professional capacity.
4. Professional Recognition and Insurance Eligibility

Reiki Level 2 training at The Healing Bower is registered with the International Institute for Complementary Therapists (IICT). This means:
You receive a certified Reiki Practitioner qualification
You’re eligible for professional insurance
You can start offering Reiki legally and ethically in your practice
It’s a valuable step whether you’re adding to your existing work in health, massage, holistic care—or launching a new wellness business.
5. Join a Growing Local Healing Community

Tweed Heads and Coolangatta are home to a growing, heart-centred wellness community. By learning Reiki here, you’re not only gaining a skill—you’re becoming part of a supportive network of like-minded people.
