Intuitive Training 101
With Max Baldytchev, M.Sc
Reiki Master Teacher
In this workshop you will learn:
- About the different levels of communication vibrations
- About the psychic senses and discuss them as they pertain to your own gifts
- To safely open and close your energetic field
- To practice the use of integrity and ethical standards when working with others
- To demonstrate a short intuitive + mediumship reading
The goal of the course is to promote and advance skills of intuition in a safe and ethical environment with the intention using it in service to others.
We often come across intuitive information in the practice of Reiki. Learn how we can harness this skill and make it the case of a dog (practitioner) wagging the tail (intuition) rather than of a tail wagging the dog. Furthermore, true intuitive work comes, just as Reiki, from a fountain of healing and help to others.
Max holds degrees in physics, math, and medical physics, and works as a medical physicist at Fox Chase Virtua cancer center. In the past several years he has been sitting in a development circle for intuitive work, mediumship, and healing, and has traveled around the globe with passion for learning, sharing and helping others. Having completed many weeks and classes with people like James Van Praagh, Robert Brown and many others, he feels ready to share simple guidelines for intuitive development in an effective and fun way.
Personal motto: take life seriously, but laugh all the way.

Here we rest, journal, share stories, sip tea, sing, give and receive bodywork, breathe, or whatever we feel called to do. Through these gatherings, ancient knowing and rhythms are being re-ignited.
The intention is for all women to feel welcome and at home.
Facilitated by Jessica Marino and Leah Jeannesdaughter - free of charge, held and sustained through voluntary loving donations. Please RSVP to jess@thereikischool.com

Treatment Room for Rent
The Reiki School and Clinic near South Street in Philadelphia has two treatment rooms available for rent by the session, the 1/2 day, or full day for qualified wellness practitioners. Our space is growing, and we have the opportunity to share available times with the wonderful energy of healing happening!
This is a great resource for new and developing practitioners.
When our practice first started we were lucky to be offered affordable space in another established healing arts center. This enabled us to grow without the fixed costs of owning expensive equipment or paying high rental fees that we couldn't afford. Eight years and two successful studios later, we'd like to extend the favor back to others who are truly wanting to be of service in this world while making a livable wage. This includes Reiki, acupuncture, massage, Thai bodywork, private yoga instructors, holistic health counselors, therapists, etc. If you feel this may be a good match for you, please email or call us and come in for an interview with the director of the school.
Please note that only qualified, certified practitioners are eligible, and the room rental does not include an official affiliation with The Reiki School and Clinic. We are providing lovely space, GREAT vibes, a warm open community, space for you to post your business cards/fliers, and interactions with lots of other amazing individuals coming and going on a regular basis. The treatment rooms are fully furnished, with a massage table, chairs, waiting area, music, etc. You are responsible for providing any sheets, oils, or other things you may need to serve your clients.
We also have a large (800 + sq foot) classroom space available some weekends and weekdays for workshops and larger classes.
Call or email for more information or to set up an appointment.
