Why Your Reiki Teacher Matters
Reiki isn’t just something you learn — it’s something you receive. In many ways, the teacher is the channel through which your journey begins. That’s why the energy, presence, and integrity of your Reiki teacher matter deeply.
When you take a Reiki class, you’re not just gaining information. You’re entering a lineage. You’re receiving an energetic transmission — through a process called attunement — that stays with you for life.
At Beacons of Change, Michal’s students often describe her as grounded, intuitive, and deeply present. She creates a safe, welcoming space where everyone feels seen — no matter their background, beliefs, or life experience. Whether you’re brand new to energy work or already exploring a spiritual path, you’ll be guided step-by-step with warmth and clarity.

A Teacher with a Trusted Reiki Lineage
When you learn Reiki, you become part of something larger — a tradition that has been passed down from teacher to student for nearly 100 years. Your Reiki teacher is a link in that chain, helping preserve the integrity of the practice while guiding you into your own experience.
Michal Spiegelman belongs to the original Usui Reiki lineage, which connects directly to the founder of Reiki, Mikao Usui, and continues through:
- Chujiro Hayashi
- Hawayo Takata
- Phyllis Furumoto
- and into Michal’s own practice and teaching
Michal honors this tradition with deep respect while making Reiki accessible and relevant for modern life. Her classes balance timeless wisdom with practical tools, and her students often say they feel both grounded and uplifted by her presence.

What Students Say About Learning with Michal
Reiki may be new to you, but you’re not alone. Thousands of students have started their journey with Michal — many feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or curious. Again and again, they describe her presence as grounding, compassionate, and clear. Here’s how a few of them describe the experience:
“Michal’s approach is gentle, warm, and caring. She gives you the knowledge and tools you need, but also space to develop your own relationship with Reiki. That’s what makes her teaching so powerful.”
Why I Teach Reiki — A Personal Note from Michal
When I first discovered Reiki, it was during a time of deep personal transformation. I had been helping others for years as a social worker and coach — but something inside me still felt disconnected, as if I were giving from an empty cup.
Reiki changed that. It gave me a way to reconnect with myself, to find stillness and clarity even during life’s hardest moments. It wasn’t just healing — it was remembering who I really was.
That’s why I teach. Because I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, burnt out, or unsure where to turn. And I also know the power of a simple, daily practice that helps you come home to yourself — again and again.
If you’re feeling curious, open, or even just quietly drawn to Reiki, you’re in the right place. I would be honored to guide you.
With gratitude,
Michal
