Karen Caig is a Professional Member of the Reiki Membership Association of the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT). This membership guarantees that all her training was provided by Licensed Reiki Master Teachers with the ICRT.


She herself was accepted into the rigorous Licensed Reiki Master Teacher program in March of 2018. Completion of the additional test and research paper as well the mentoring program usually takes three years, and it has trained some of the best Reiki Masters in the world.
