Reiki Classes Near Sterling Heights

Until the 1950s, much of Sterling Heights was farm country, with rhubarb grown here and sold in Detroit markets. Today it is the fourth most populous city in Michigan, and plenty of people who live and work along Hall Road or Van Dyke Avenue are looking for something quieter to learn. The Ascension School of Healing Arts in Ferndale offers Reiki and energy healing classes that Sterling Heights students can attend in person or join live on Zoom.

Our classes are practical and hands-on. You learn how a Reiki session is structured, practice with fellow students, and ask questions as they come up. Many students begin with the first level, spend time practicing on themselves and their families at home, then come back to keep learning at their own pace.

Learning in Person at Our Ferndale Classroom

Some people simply learn better in a room with others. In our Ferndale classroom you can feel the rhythm of a session, watch hand positions up close, and get gentle feedback while you practice. Donna Lakes, who has been teaching since 1999, keeps the atmosphere warm and grounded, so newcomers and returning students both feel at ease.

Sterling Heights students often tell us they like having a set class to look forward to, a few hours away from the noise of a busy week. You do not need any experience before your first class. Wear comfortable clothes, bring curiosity, and plan to spend much of the time practicing rather than just listening.

Live Zoom and Self-Study Options

If your schedule or family life makes a trip to Ferndale hard, the live Zoom class gives you the same teacher, the same material and the same chance to ask questions in real time. Students join from home, follow along with self-practice, and stay connected with the group between sessions.

We also offer self-study courses for people who want to read, watch and practice on their own timeline. Some Sterling Heights students mix all three, starting online, coming to Ferndale in person for a level, then using self-study to review what they learned.

Quiet Practice in a Busy Manufacturing City

Sterling Heights is known for building things. The Stellantis plant here assembled its two millionth Ram 1500 in April 2025, and General Dynamics Land Systems designs vehicles for the armed forces from its campus in the city. In a place that works this hard, a simple daily Reiki practice can be a calm way to start or end the day.

Students often take their self-practice outside, too. Dodge Park along the Clinton River, home to Sterlingfest during the last week of July, has open space and a farmers market pavilion, and the Upton House Museum is a reminder of the city's farming roots. With a deep mix of Chaldean, Assyrian, Polish, Macedonian, Italian and German families, Sterling Heights students bring many backgrounds to our classes, and everyone is welcome.
