The Reiki School + Clinic

What The Reiki School + Clinic does

The Reiki School + Clinic is a private wellness school and clinic founded in 1999 in Philadelphia, PA, by educator Kim Fleisher (M.Ed) and George Barrick, and currently headquartered at 54 Coryell Street in Lambertville, NJ. The company delivers extended-format Reiki training across four sequential levels (Reiki 1 through Master Teacher, totaling approximately 259 instructional hours plus an Animal Reiki specialization) and operates a multi-modality therapeutic clinic offering Reiki sessions, licensed massage (Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone, Lomi-Lomi, Mu-Xing, Lotus, Arvigo, prenatal, and oncology), shiatsu, sound healing, clinical herbalism consultations, intuitive readings, and holistic nutrition coaching. Its training methodology is differentiated by a semester-length format — designed by educators and built on adult-learning principles — and by a documented Reiki lineage tracing directly to Mikao Usui via Hawayo Takata and the original 22 Reiki Masters.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model. Revenue is generated from one-time class tuition (typically paid via installments, with a $50 payment-plan fee), unit-priced professional sessions, herbal consultations ($99 initial consult), and recurring community events and workshops. Customers book online via Acuity Scheduling or contact the clinic by phone or email; an online Reiki 1 course extends reach beyond the physical catchment. Following the 2014 sale of the school by founder Kim Fleisher to Stephanie Palmer and two Reiki cohorts, ownership now includes Stephanie Palmer (School Director, Reiki Master Teacher, LMT, Shiatsu Practitioner), Vicki Zaharopoulos (Co-Director, Nationally Certified Massage Therapist, Reiki Master Teacher, Ayurvedic Health Counselor), and Alexandra DiFilippo (Community Development Director/Owner). The school maintains a secondary presence in Philadelphia at 1500 Chestnut Street.

The company's go-to-market is community-led and event-driven: weekly Reiki shares, monthly sound healing sessions, continuing-education workshops, free community clinics held approximately every four months, and a tuition-referral program ($50 credit per enrolling friend). It serves three primary customer segments — individual wellness seekers, aspiring holistic practitioners seeking credible certification, and (indirectly, via graduate placement) healthcare institutions including Drexel University's 11th Street Family Health Center and Penn Medicine. The company has no disclosed external funding, no institutional investors, no patents or trademarks, and a small headcount (approximately 14 staff as of the 2014 15th anniversary milestone).

Scale indicators5 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Pacific College of Health and Science: Accredited institution offering programs in massage, holistic nursing, and integrative health with clinical placements. Comparable training-and-clinic dual model, but at substantially larger scale and with formal accreditation; positions integrative practitioners in healthcare settings.
• Massage Heights: Franchised massage therapy chain offering therapeutic massage, skin care, and wellness services. Comparable through its licensed massage and wellness service offering, but operates as a scaled franchise network rather than an integrated holistic training school.
• Chopra Center for Wellbeing: Wellness brand founded by Deepak Chopra offering meditation, Ayurveda, Reiki-adjacent energy work, and certification programs. Comparable as a multi-modality wellness school + clinic with strong brand and online reach, but with much broader national positioning and corporate partnerships.
• Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health: Wellness retreat and education center offering yoga, Ayurveda, holistic health programs, and bodywork. Comparable as an integrated holistic school-and-clinic with strong community/retreat programming, but with broader geographic footprint and lodging-based business model.
• Omega Institute for Holistic Studies: Holistic education center offering workshops, retreats, and certifications in Reiki, sound healing, herbalism, and integrative wellness. Comparable in multi-modality training philosophy and continuing education model, but operates at retreat-center scale rather than single-clinic.

Emerging players

• Center for Reiki Research: Research-oriented Reiki organization studying clinical efficacy of Reiki in hospital settings. Comparable as it supports the school's healthcare-integration positioning at Drexel and Penn Medicine, though focused on research advocacy rather than direct training.
• Herbal Academy: Online herbalism education platform offering introductory to clinical herbalist programs. Comparable in the herbalism consultation and education pillar of The Reiki School + Clinic, but primarily online/distance learning rather than in-person apothecary-led training.

Direct peers

• International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT): The most established Reiki education organization globally, offering multi-level Reiki training and practitioner development. Directly competes with The Reiki School + Clinic in Reiki certification programs, though at much larger national/international scale and with different lineage roots.
• Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA): Holistic health and wellness school offering Reiki, massage, herbalism, nutrition coaching, and energy healing programs. Comparable in multi-modality training portfolio but operates nationally with broader online/distance options.
• Light Song School of Reiki: Reiki-specific training school offering multi-level Reiki certification with an extended, in-depth curriculum similar in philosophy to The Reiki School + Clinic. Competes for the same aspiring-practitioner segment seeking depth over weekend intensives.
