Colleen Benelli

Usui/Holy Fire III, Karuna Reiki® Master Teacher, Co-director of the Licensed Teacher Training Program for the ICRT

Colleen is as passionate about Reiki today as she was when she received her first Reiki attunement over 22 years ago to help heal her horse, Dakota. When he went lame, he told her he went lame to deliver her to her power to heal and showed her an image of her hands on him. She had an immediate connection to Reiki and knew she had to practice and teach it. She studied with William Rand and Laurelle Gaia and became a full time Reiki practitioner and a Licensed Teacher for the International Center for Reiki Training. In 2015, Colleen became the Co-Director of the ICRT Licensed Teacher Training Program. Prior to receiving Reiki, Colleen was in shamanic training and has also practiced and taught shamanism for all these years and is a member of the council for the LightSong School of Shamanic Studies and Energy Medicine.

Colleen teaches Usui/Holy Fire® III World Peace Reiki at all levels. She and her daughter Robyn developed and teach their Next Step Reiki™ 3-year Training Program. They host the Reiki Lifestyle Podcast, and a weekly, free online Distance Reiki Share. They wrote the ICRT Animal Reiki I & II and Master classes with Sioux Strong and Pamela Allen LeBlanc. Colleen has been writing for Reiki News Magazine since 2005.
