What is Reiki?
Reiki is a hands-on energy healing practice that supports balance and well-being on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels.
Through Reiki, you learn to heal with your hands, working with energy to support healing in yourself and others while developing sensitivity and intuitive awareness.
At the American Reiki Academy, Reiki is taught within a traditional lineage, with an emphasis on practice, experience, and natural development of your skills over time.

What Students Say
"The Reiki training has been beautiful. I am now using Reiki along with acupuncture, pranic healing and Western medicine. Overall I have had tremendous success with the Reiki, the simplest and purest of these modalities. I will always be grateful for experiencing Reiki with Alexandra.” --S. Aviles, M.D., O.M. D.
"Your Reiki class was the most transformational experience I have had on my spiritual path, having taken many metaphysics classes. During the initiation I received colors, insights & sacred geometry and afterwards I had a complete sense of knowing I am on the right path. Thank you so much, Alexandra, for the gentleness, patience and pure love you convey so well through your teaching." --A. Martin, Yoga Teacher
Reiki Healing Sessions with Reiki Master Alexandra Savithri
Reiki Master Alexandra Savithri offers a limited number of private sessions for those seeking one-on-one energetic support and deeper spiritual guidance.
These sessions are intuitive and individualized, drawing from Reiki, Vedic Healing, and related spiritual practices as appropriate to the person.
Rather than working through a fixed method, each session responds to what is present—supporting the clearing of energetic blocks, rebalancing of the system, and greater clarity in one’s path.
Work may include hands-on or remote Reiki, subtle energy work, chakra balancing, and intuitive insight.
Sessions are offered in Los Angeles or remotely, by arrangement.
