Your main Host/Teacher- Therepist and the founder/owner of Serenity - Rotorua.
Where the beauty within flows freely.
WELCOME, My name is Muiread Douglas and I'm originally from Liverpool England but have lived also for ten years in Perth-Scotland. This is where I also done my training to be a massage therapist and Reiki healer. Scotland is a very spiritual place and this helped me realise and connect with my own spirituality. I have always been aware that there was something more to this life than just what we were told about. We all have the ability to connect with universal energy that provides us with many answers to our life's journey. I believe we are truly blessed and when we connect we feel our own true power of happiness, we share this happiness each time we smile.
My husband and I moved with our two beautiful children in 2003 to Rotarua, and here it is where I started work and opening my clinic "Serenity" offering Massage and Reiki. I wanted to be able to give more in helping people see their own potential in what was available to them. I started the meditation classes and found that the 12 weeks that they run for gave people the time they wanted to look at who they were and also what they wanted to attract into their lives. My work has now taken a turn where I am facilitating more courses throughout the year.
I have a wonderful life here in New Zealand and I am very lucky to meet all the people that I have, but most of all I am very grateful that I do something that I love and truly believe in helping people see who they really are. It is such a blessing to see people doing amazing things for themselves and each other, learning to love the whole of their lives because they have created all of it.

Reiki Degree Courses:
Reiki is a Japanese word meaning "Universal Life Force Energy". Reiki is a system for channeling energy to someone for the purpose of healing. During the 1, 2 and 3 degrees, you will learn the ancient art form of Reiki healing. Reiki was introduced by Dr Mikao Usui and taught by himself to a number of his pupils. One of his pupils Mrs Hawayo Takata brought Reiki to the west and it is this form which is mainly taught today. There are symbols given during the attunment in the 1st 2nd and 3rd degree's which all have different uses and meanings. There uses and meanings will be taught and passed on during each course. The Reiki courses are usually taught at three different times with about three months between the 1st and 2nd degree. People are normally drawn to do Reiki when they are ready, everybody can learn the beautiful art of Reiki. It is not exclusive to only a few but is available to everybody who wishes to bring Reiki into their lives.
1st Reiki Degree: One evening a week over six weeks
The 1st degree is about the self and mainly concentrates on self healing. Without being able to heal the self and truly experience the healing powers of Reiki, then you can not help others. Healing always starts with the self, to be an example for others to learn from.
2nd Reiki Degree: One evening a week over six weeks
The 2nd degree is more about helping others through various techniques, hands on healing, the use of a Reiki box, distant healing, connecting with Reiki and spirit guides. During the course we will continue to use meditation, distant healing for people and yourself. This technique does not require the other person to be with you at the time of healing. They can be in another place, country or time, using a Rieki box for healing past present and future events. There will also be an attunment process.
REIKI MASTER DEGREE
Reiki Degree Courses:
The 3rd degree course which is the master degree, meaning you can pass on the Reiki to other people and teach them the meanings of Reiki. Is normally done through the person coming to the masters at a time they feel is right for them. This normally happens when the person feels they are living with and using Reiki throughout their daily lives. The person and their Reiki master normally discuss and share to help the person come to the decision that they are truly ready for their master degree. Everybody is different and come to the 3 different degrees when he or she feels most ready to do so.
