Online Reiki and Energy Healing Classes for Waterford, Ireland
Reiki on Zoom for Ireland's Oldest City
Waterford was founded by Vikings around 914 AD, and its name comes from the Old Norse Vadrarfjordr, the windy fjord or fjord of the rams. A city that has kept its shape for more than a thousand years understands the value of steady, patient practice, and that is the spirit of the live Zoom class from the Ascension School of Healing Arts (ASHA).
People in Waterford can join our Reiki and energy healing classes online from home, whether that home sits near the old Norse walls of the Viking Triangle or further out across Waterford city and county. Each live Zoom class is taught in real time, so you can ask questions and practise alongside others, and our self-study courses let you go back over the material at your own pace.
A Quiet Practice Beside the Viking Triangle
Reginald's Tower, the oldest urban civic building in Ireland and the only monument in the country named after a Viking, is a reminder of how much a single place can hold. Reiki asks something similar of the practitioner: a calm attention to what is already present, built up gently, session by session.
The Medieval Museum within the Viking Triangle incorporates the 13th-century Choristers' Hall and the 15th-century Mayor's Wine Vault, layers of the city kept in plain view. Our courses are structured in the same layered way, with each level building on the one before, so a Waterford learner can start with the foundations and grow from there.
Fitting Reiki Around Waterford's Working Week
Waterford's economy is anchored by a pharma and medtech cluster, with Bausch + Lomb, established in Waterford in 1980, now the company's biggest manufacturing site worldwide. Shift patterns and busy weeks are part of life here, which is why the self-study courses sit alongside the live Zoom class, giving you a way to keep up between sessions.
Students at South East Technological University (SETU) and people working in Waterford's growing digital and creative services cluster already spend much of their day on screens. A Reiki class taken from a quiet corner at home offers a different kind of screen time, one focused on breath, stillness and the simple hand positions taught by Donna Lakes, who has been teaching since 1999.
Rest and Rhythm in the Crystal City
Waterford knows how to celebrate. The Spraoi Festival, running since 1993, fills the city with around 200 events of street theatre, circus and music across three largely free days, while hurling and the Déise keep civic life lively all year. Reiki offers a counterweight to that energy, a calm practice to return to once the crowds have gone home.
The city that gave the world Waterford Crystal and the soft, floury blaa has long valued patient hand skills. Reiki is also a practice of the hands, learned slowly and repeated with care, and people in Waterford can begin it from their own kitchen table through a live Zoom class or a self-study course with ASHA.
