- Erin Bentley
Erin's professional and educational background is as a sociologist, researcher, and teacher. While working on a PhD, Erin also runs a successful healing practice from home. Erin has a wealth of experience in working with learners from diverse backgrounds: "To me, teaching is a beautiful opportunity to explore the connections between people who (previously) thought they were separate, isolated, or alone. From this perspective, I see teaching Reiki and Core Beliefs workshops as the perfect means to bring together the pivotal aspects of my inner purpose: healer and teacher".
When asked to describe Erin's teaching style, former Reiki student wrote to Erin, "You have a beautiful energy about you and your insight into situations, feelings and people's words is pure wisdom and love--a lot of love. You seem to hear what people say and your responses are filled with peace".
Working within the generous teaching traditions of mentors like Aangen's Dora Miceli, Erin teaches a synthesis of shamanic healing modalities and the ancient practice of Reiki. In this way, the Reiki classroom invites students to connect to the healing energy of the divine. In so doing, the student becomes another beautiful pathway for that energy to enter the lives of others through healing interactions.
