Quick answers about studying, booking and gathering at the Ascension School of Healing Arts in Ferndale, Michigan, and online. Each answer links to the page that holds the full details.
ASHA teaches energy healing and intuitive development at every level. You can start with a single Reiki I and II class, take a standalone 12-week course, follow the two-year certification path of Year One and Year Two, join the year-long Empower Me Program, or learn at home with a self-study course. The Healing Courses page lays out each option side by side, and All Courses lists everything open for enrollment.
Begin with Reiki I and II Certification, a five-hour live class that includes your attunement with Donna Lakes and lifetime access to the online student portal. No experience is needed. Reiki Master certification (Levels 3 and 4) is part of Year One, the Intuitive Healer Certification. If you would rather learn at home, there is also an Intuitive Usui Reiki I and II self-study course.
Year One is four 12-week courses taken over a year: Managing Your Energy, Self-Healing, Intuitive Development and Advanced Energy Healing. Students who complete it earn the Intuitive Healer and Reiki Master certifications. Year Two is the Ascension Healer Certification: 48 weeks of advanced study across four courses and four certifications, building on everything from Year One.
Not for Reiki I and II, and Year One welcomes beginners and seasoned practitioners alike. Year One does ask that you hold Reiki I and II first, either from ASHA or from another teacher with proof of your certificate. Year Two asks for Reiki Master and the Intuitive Healer Certification, and certificates earned outside ASHA may be accepted with proof. The Year One and Year Two pages spell out each requirement.
Yes. The 12-week courses, Year One, Year Two and the Empower Me Program meet once a week for a live class that you can attend in person at the school or join live over Zoom, and Year Two and Empower Me students may choose the format week by week. Reiki I and II is taught in person or by live video, and the Acu Aroma Reiki Certification is an online course.
Year One students can watch the weekly class recording, and Year Two students have lecture videos and class recordings they can return to at any time. For any other class, student support can help with times and schedules at asha@ascendmylife.com.
A self-study course is self-paced: video lessons, manuals, worksheets and guided meditations that you work through on your own schedule, with lifetime access to many of the programs. A live course meets with a teacher each week, in person or on Zoom, and moves forward with a group. Self-study versions are offered for Reiki I and II, Acu Aroma Reiki, Managing Your Energy and Self-Healing.
Yes. Intuitive Development, Managing Your Energy and Self-Healing are each offered as a standalone 12-week course, and each can also count as a step toward the full certification. Each course page shows what it covers and how to enroll.
Donna Lakes, ASHA's founder and head instructor, leads the certification path. The Meet the Team page introduces each of the school's healers, with a link to book a session with each one.
The Healing Services and Readings page lists every session in four groups: energy healing sessions such as Reiki Healing and Crystal Healing, deep healing and inner work such as Ascension Healing and Inner Child Healing, readings and intuitive guidance such as Tarot Reading and Mediumship, and botanical and specialty therapies such as flower essence consultations and Aura Photography and Reading. Each service has its own page with the details and its own questions and answers.

No. ASHA's sessions and classes are holistic and complementary. They work alongside, and never in place of, care from your doctor or a mental-health professional, so please keep seeing your own providers for any health concern.
