Elise Brenner, owner of Brenner Reiki Healing, announces that social workers can now receive nine continuing education credits for her Reiki Level 1 Training Seminars. The seminars are offered monthly.

“As more and more professional care providers are discovering the benefits of reiki practice for self-care and care of their clients, their certifying boards for continuing education credits are agreeing,” says Brenner. “We’re already an approved CE provider for licensed massage therapists, too.”

In a Reiki Level 1 Training Seminar, students learn reiki meditations, ways to practice hands-on healing of self and others, reiki principles and history, and how reiki promotes mindfulness and wellness on all levels of one’s being.

“Creative and fruitful innovation in social work requires practitioners to push the boundaries of traditional practice to create, implement and evaluate new and effective ways of helping people who struggle in life,” says Brennan. “Treatment approaches that are widely accepted today, such as EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), DBT (dialectical behavior therapy), hypnosis and music therapy, were once considered unorthodox and, by some, controversial.”

Cost: $150 for Reiki Level 1 Training Seminar. Location: 324 Central St., Newton. For more information, call 617-244-8856 or visit BrennerReikiHealing.org.
