Learn more by checking her certificates, qualifications, and resume. Read her journey from corporate life to offering healing in Sayulita here.

Tanya Schwarz, Reiki Therapist & Trainer

Reiki Master Tanya completed her Reiki training in 2022 and immediately felt called to offer healing sessions. Guided by her deeply intuitive nature, Tanya creates a safe and nurturing space where others feel seen, supported and restored. Her Reiki sessions are grounding yet expansive, helping clients reconnect with their own inner clarity and balance.

She first completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training in Sayulita in 2019 and has since blended her love of mindful movement with energy and sound healing. Originally from Calgary, Canada, Tanya left her career as an engineering technologist to follow her heart—driving to Mexico with her family and small dog to begin teaching yoga and sharing Reiki. Her background includes Hatha Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, and Thai Massage, which she weaves into her holistic approach.

Natacha Radojevic, Reiki Therapist & Trainer

With over 20 years of combined experience as a surf coach and holistic energy worker, Natacha brings a unique depth to her healing practice. Her extensive travels throughout Polynesia have shaped her intuitive style, always rooted in connection with Pacha Mama. A professional musician, she weaves traditional medicine songs into her sound baths, creating profoundly sacred experiences. Before beginning her Reiki journey with Chel in 2023, Natacha was already deeply grounded in energy and sound healing. Today, she blends her trainings to guide others in discovering the powerful connection between mind, body, and soul. Surf with Natacha here.

Reiki Certification FAQs

  • Reiki 1 & 2 No experience necessary! Anyone can learn Reiki. 

    Reiki Master: Reiki Levels 1 & 2 are required prerequisites. I recommend giving yourself 6 months to 1 year of regular Reiki practice before moving into Reiki Master, as this integration time helps you truly embody the energy and teachings. If you feel called to begin sooner, the training is open to you—just know that the depth of your practice will continue to unfold over time. There is no need to rush into Reiki 1 & 2 because you can offer professional certifications after level 2 training!

  • To keep the costs lower and shorten the duration of the training, 1:1 sessions with me are are not included in my Reiki training courses. They can be added on and booked separately. They are included with the expanded retreat option.

    Some students like to experience first-hand how I personally go about offering a Reiki session. Reiki is a healing art and every practitioner will offer them in their unique way. You can schedule one anytime, I recommend before your training.

    There is no need to do a 1:1 session with me beforehand, but I’m happy to offer it. Before is better because you will already receive a lot of Reiki during the training.

    What is included in the Reiki training, is a powerful 10-minute attunement for Reiki initiation. This is very healing and transformative.

  • Yes, you are qualified after Reiki 2 to offer professional Reiki sessions. Many of my students now offer Reiki in spas and hotels internationally.

    Many students start with a few free practice sessions on friends, then start charging at $35-50 for a practice session.

    Experienced therapists charge upwards of $100/session, so you can quickly earn back your investment from Reiki training.

    You may also simply use this training for your own personal development and healing. There is no requirement to offer Reiki Sessions professionally.

  • Yes. The International Center for Reiki Training advises a method for a two-day Reiki intensive for levels 1 & 2. My workshop is set over two days to accommodate learning and processing at a relaxed pace.

    Minimum advised group class hours are 5 hours for Reiki 1 and 5 hours for Reiki 2 - this certification allows up to 12 hours of training. 1:1 training may be a little shorter in duration as we move more quickly through the material.

  • Trainings are relaxing and flow with ease. Reiki 1 is mainly lecture and discussion with peaceful meditation and self healing practices.

    In Reiki 2, we learn more practical techniques and do some hands-on work, offering a practice Reiki session to another student or friend.

    Most students feel energized from the training, so you can plan to enjoy other activities/social engagements on the same day as the training.

    In Reiki Master, we focus on advanced Reiki techniques, which can occur over one or two afternoons. There is more meditation involved in Reiki Master. Because the practice is more intense, we will take a break mid-way through the day.

  • Yes, you can learn 100% online.

    There are many Reiki courses online, but be aware that the only way to practice Reiki is to be attuned directly by a Reiki master. If you do a mass-produced online course, be absolutely sure you trust the facilitator to do a Reiki personalized distance attunement.

    My online courses offer live and interactive instruction and individual interaction with each student. We will work together personally to ensure you are supported in your journey. Contact me to set up a date for your online certification!

  • To learn Reiki, you must be initiated with an “attunement,” which is when a Reiki Master sends you the universal flow of Reiki from the masters in a short, powerful Reiki ritual. In this certification, you will receive Reiki Level 1 and Level 2 attunements. Master Level will receive Master attunements and learn how to give attunements.

    Keep in mind attunements are a critical part of Reiki Certification. A mass-produced online course that lacks this component will not prepare you to offer Reiki; you will have the knowledge but will not be able to connect with it.

    Reiki attunement takes about 10 minutes, but it is a very profound and essential process. It will have lasting healing effects and stimulate necessary transitions in your life. My attunements can be done at a distance with you online or will be done in person while in Sayulita.

  • During the training, eating healthy, getting lots of sleep, and drinking plenty of water to prepare is best.

    Wear comfortable clothing for the sessions and bring a pen and paper to take notes.

    Do your best to avoid excessive alcohol for a few days before and after your attunement. Bring snacks and water so that you can stay refreshed.

  • Sayulita Reiki & Yoga is proud to be the first dedicated Reiki school in Sayulita.

    The program is founded by Chel Rogerson, who began practicing Reiki and energy healing in 2013.

    Together, they have offered healing sessions to 1000s of clients. The curriculum shares the wisdom from their extensive practical experience.

    We are recognized in the Sayulita community for integrity, intuitive wisdom, compassion and professionalism.

    While our trainings are deeply spiritual and intuitive, they are also grounded in study, knowledge and disciplined practice.

Everything You Want to Know About Reiki

What Is Reiki?

Reiki is a holistic healing therapy whereby the energy worker uses hand placement and/or conscious focused intention to channel healing energy. This energy flows through areas of the client’s astral (energetic) body that need clearing.

It’s a gentle, relaxing practice that helps release energetic blockages, ease stress, and bring your body into a theta-wave state of healing.

When energy is stuck, it often shows up as physical tension, emotional overwhelm, fatigue, or even illness.

Reiki helps you release the blocked energy of old patterns and emotions and reconnect with your inner clarity and intuition.
