Ascension School of Healing Arts Serving Redford, Michigan 48239

Reiki training for Redford Township neighbors

Redford has carried its name since 1833, when Pekin Township was renamed for the red ford early settlers used to cross the River Rouge. Plenty of people here still write a Detroit mailing city, since ZIP codes 48239 and 48240 are served by Detroit post offices, yet the township keeps its own identity. ASHA brings that same steady, practical spirit to Reiki classes for Redford students.

Our school sits in Ferndale, and Redford students can join us in person or follow the live Zoom class from home. Many people try both, sitting in the room for hands-on practice some weeks and logging in from the house when the calendar is full.

Learning Reiki in person in Ferndale

In person classes give you a chance to practice energy healing techniques with a partner, ask questions as they come up, and settle into the pace of a shared room. Donna Lakes has been teaching since 1999, and her style is warm and plain spoken, with plenty of time to try each hand position yourself.

If you have ever heard the original 1928 Barton pipe organ at the Redford Theatre, you know how much a live, shared experience can add. Reiki practice is similar: the small details make more sense once you have felt them alongside other students.

Live Zoom and self-study options

Some weeks are simply too busy to leave the house. The live Zoom class follows the same lessons in real time, so you can still ask questions and practice along with the group from your own living room in Redford.

Self-study courses let you review at your own pace between classes. Students often pair them with quiet practice somewhere familiar, like a walk through Lola Valley Park along the middle branch of the River Rouge, the same river that gave Redford its name.

A practice rooted in community

Redford worked to keep its own footing, gaining charter township status from the Michigan Legislature in 1926 to halt further annexation. That local pride shows up in groups like the Redford Township Chamber of Commerce, chartered as a chamber in 1950, and in neighbors who look out for one another.

Reiki fits naturally into that kind of community. Learning to sit quietly, breathe, and offer gentle hands-on Reiki to family and friends is a skill you can carry home to Redford and keep using. Reach out to ASHA to ask which class level suits you best.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I take Reiki classes from Redford without coming to Ferndale?

Yes. The live Zoom class follows the same lessons in real time, and self-study courses are available for review between sessions.

Do I need any experience before my first Reiki class?

No prior experience is needed. Classes start with the basics, and Donna Lakes, teaching since 1999, walks beginners through each step.

Why does my Redford address say Detroit?

Redford ZIP codes 48239 and 48240 are served by Detroit post offices, so many addresses carry a Detroit mailing city even though Redford is a separate township. Either way, you are welcome at ASHA.
