Thanks Kandi and Terry, the class instructions and knowledge shared were amazing. My Reiki II Certification class experience on my birthday was everything. I’m so looking forward too becoming a Master instructor because of it! Peace

Kandi is the epitome of grace and compassion and her passion for Reiki is undeniable. Learning all three levels of Reiki under Kandi has been a beautiful and profound experience of growth and understanding. I highly recommend her training programs and healing services to anyone in need of healing and/or wishing to step into being of service to others.read more

I learned so much during the Reiki Master Level III! The experience, the environment, our mentor/teacher really allowed us to learn I. A safe and sacred space. If I had of know. About this place, I would have taken Reiki I and II with Kandi! This is a beautiful space and plan to return for other classes too!read more

Before deciding to attend Reiki training at MDCRT, I researched a variety of options. After meeting Kandi and entering the room where training was to take place, I knew I had made the right decision. Kandi is welcoming and thoughtful in her approach to teaching and MDCRT is a wonderful place to learn!read more

Life isn't worth living unless you embrace all possibilities of growth, development and healing. What a blessing it was to be led to the MdCRT. I was blessed to be a student for the Reiki I & II courses. The background history, meditations and hands on training not only allowed for me to build a solid foundation in Reiki, but gave me the confidence and additional push I needed to remove self-doubt and start my healing. Kandi was an exceptional teacher. She was patient and pleasant. I look forward to working with her in the future and studying with her for my Master's.In terms of accessibility, the days and times offered were good. I live in central and still chose to make the drive for two days. Trust me, it's worth it. Parking availability was easy.Finally, the students in my class were equally as much a blessing to me as Kandi (instructor). It was nice to receive feedback from my classmates and really grow from each others experiences.I highly recommend MdCRT!read more

My wife and I took the Reiki Level 1 course experiencing and incredible amount of supportive information, practice, and transformation. The education, meditations, and hands-on-training built a strong foundation for self-healing, confidence in practice and building healing energy, and provided a pathway for growth and practice leading to the healing of self and others. I am very much looking forward to Reiki II! I highly recommend MDCRT!!read more

I was excited when the Maryland Center for Reiki Training (MdCRT) opened in 2015. As a Usui and Karuna Master Teacher, I kept up with the continuing evolvement and expansion of Reiki. Knowing the new level of Usui Holy Fire Reiki had been developed, I took the Usui Holy Fire Master Class at MdCRT. The teachers were prepared, competent and honoring of each student. When it was time to receive the new level of energy, I felt the sensation of the Holy Fire slowly permeate my body from head to toe with loving, gentle, empowering energy. I knew my healing abilities had been raised to a new level of effectiveness and, with daily use, would continue to grow. Currently I am a Usui and Karuna Holy Fire ll Master Practitioner and Teacher and CMRM Certified Medical Reiki Master. I occasionally teach Reiki classes for MdCRT having gone through their Mentor Program. What a journey! Classes for children have been added. Come see for yourself and learn how to bring healing to yourself, family, friends, and the planet!Rev. Linda C. Irvineread more

MDCRT and Kandi Austin have had a profound impact on my life. I attended both Reiki classes level I and II with the intent of having my own Reiki practice. I had no idea how life changing Reiki would be. It has brought about healing I never knew I needed. Kandi has been an integral part of my journey, offering her skills as a mentor and a friend. My husband has also taken the level I course and has greatly enjoyed all that has come from it. I cannot recommend MDCRT highly enough.read more

“You are such a wonderful mentor and person.  I appreciate you so much and hope I will one day have an ounce of the knowledge and gentleness with which you teach.”

“This class exceeded my expectations.”

” I cannot say enough positive things about Kandi, the owner, and the classes offered. The teaching style of the staff at MDCRT is warm, supportive, and loving.
I have grown emotionally and spiritually so much from what I have learned in the last 18 months.”

“Your enthusiasm and sincerity shine in every minute of this class.”

This class touched my soul.
