A fantastic experience. A beautiful space with outdoor space for breaks in between the workshop. Chris is such a supportive and caring instructor and truly makes a difference in students lives. Highly recommend for anyone interested to get a treatment or be trained read more

Highly recommend Reiki level 1 classes, Christopher is great teacher and person, explain concepts and practice in a way that make it feel simple. read more

I recently took a Level One Reiki class at the San Francisco Reiki Center with Christopher, and it was an incredible experience. The class was extremely well organized and professional, and I learned so much in just one weekend. Christopher's knowledge of Reiki is vast, and he shared the history and practice in a way that was engaging and easy to understand. What stood out the most was his compassion and teaching style, he made the material accessible, meaningful, and inspiring. I've taken many classes in different fields, and no other teacher stands out as much as Christopher. His combination of expertise and heart truly sets him apart. He is great and so were the other students. I met some amazing people that weekend! If you're interested in Reiki, I cannot recommend this class enough. It was informative, empowering, and absolutely worth it. read more

Can't speak highly enough of Christopher, this space or his amazing students! So patient and kind, I was on the edge of my seat in his class soaking up his expertise and stories -- and was truly blown away by how much I learned, and by the power of the Reiki I experienced in a community clinic session. Thank you!! read more

I finished the first degree Reiki training yesterday. Christopher is a wonderful teacher. I didn't really know what to expect when going into the training, and found it to be an amazing experience. For me, I felt such calming and grounding energy flowing through me as I received the attunements and practiced Reiki on my classmates. I enjoyed the "lecture" and storytelling part of the training. It was a highly interactive experience and I was able to ask a lot of questions and felt very comfortable. Cristopher has a warm, friendly, funny, grounded and kind energy. His sense of gratitude and positivity is infectious. It is a beautiful experience to be in his lovely space and to be in his presence and learn from him. I am so excited to practice Reiki on myself and my family and friends. I will be back to SF Reiki for more education! read more

I took the two day Reiki Level 1 course at SF Reiki Center and it was profound, fun, exhilarating, informative and all around wonderful. Christopher Tellez is a wonderful Master Teacher, at times funny, very human, delightfully engaging, always patient and very informative. His class ran very smoothly even though we had a lot of questions he always took time to listen, consider us, and respond. If you are considering becoming a Reiki healer for yourself or others I highly recommend SF Reiki Center! read more

Excellent healing services of all kinds. Took a class and was very impactful, more so than I anticipated. And so many opportunities for continuing education and community after reiki I class as well. I love SF Reiki Center and am very grateful to have it so close to my home! read more

I've had a wonderful, profound experience while taking Reiki first degree class with Christopher.

I recently had my reiki 1 class with Ann & it was overall an amazing experience. I felt really cared for in the class & I learned a lot about how much gunk I had in my energy & how that affected my day to day as well as the history of reiki. read more

Had my first Reiki experience through the community clinic. After being laid off, an affordable treatment was just the thing to help me get out of my energetic funk and put me on a path to wellness. Can't wait to go back! read more

Trust is so critical when it comes to energy work and particularly when someone is working on your body through touch. Christopher is an angel, a guide, a blessing on Earth, who is sent to do phenomenal work. Receiving Reiki from him is a special treat. I started my journey with SF Reiki Center at first, by going to the clinics, where I experienced the healing hands of students under Christopher's instructions. That was a nice, economical way to experience Reiki. I recommend it if you'd like an introduction to Reiki and need to be mindful of what you can afford. I then wanted to experience a full treatment and that too with Christopher. These treatments tend to be calming, cathartic, and complete in their emotional and physical relief. Reiki has a strong healing element, and Christopher's masterful touch is elevating. I find Reiki worth the investment, like a spa treatment for your soul. I am also proud to say I have had the honor of receiving my level 1 & 2 certifications Reiki at the SF Reiki Center. The courses are theory and practice based, if Reiki calls to you, this is the place to trust learning the art with full authenticity. My path was as a client at clinic, to client at regular sessions, and finally receiving my Reiki certification. The entire journey was full of warmth and care. I truly value the SF Reiki Center for providing me healing, guidance, and the ability to serve through energy. See what your path brings! All I can say is, trust it! read more

SF Reiki Center is a gem of a place in SF! I have been receiving reiki treatments from Christopher to help heal from some sleep issues as well as a lot of emotion, anxiety and grief I've been holding inside after the loss of my father. Christopher is an amazing, gentle, intuitive healer and I always leave my treatments feeling calm and balanced energetically. I'm also noticing an improvement little by little in my sleep and just a general feeling of "I can handle this" rather than the stress, hopelessness and dread I had been previously experiencing. I know some may be skeptical about reiki, and perhaps it seems too esoteric, but I am so grateful for the treatments I've been receiving from SF Reiki Center and can't recommend them enough!! read more

Reiki Master Christopher Tellez is an amazing teacher and has created a truly warm, caring,intuitive, educated and passionate teacher of Reiki. I completed Reiki 1 already knowing it is my path but now looking forward to the journey forward and continuing. If you are looking for a great and 'keep it real' teacher in a safe, supportive, comfortable, uplifting, authentic, friendly,engaging and fun environment, SF Reiki Center is for you. I also really appreciated the class syllabus, story time (love story time), and volume of information. Being able to practice- in person and being able to work directly with the teacher and other students was priceless. There is a good amount of hands-on time! Online training certainly has value but I am in gratitude of being able to practice with others. SF Reiki center also has a community clinic (in person)! Additionally, Masters in Training Anne and Laura were also straight up wonderful teachers and people. Reiki is now a party of my daily (okay, working on daily) practice and I honestly feel like it is life changing. I am so grateful and want everyone I know to at least take Reiki 1 with Christopher. Seriously. read more

It is a great class at a perfect pace; I am delighted I took this class. I am waiting for the right time to take Reiki 2.

I had a Level I Reiki attunement done in December 2022. Unfortunately, the Reiki was too strong for me. While Christopher seemed to be well-intentioned, his follow-through with this was inconsistent and disappointing. I have struggled with the energy from the attunement for the past 16 months. These attunements are not for everyone. I am 72 years old, and this has been the most disappointing and difficult experience of my life. If you are someone who is sensitive to energy it would probably be best to find another place to get an attunement. read more

I have attended and received my certification, in both Reiki 1, and 2, here at SF Reiki Center. I was comfortable, felt included, and enjoyed our classes, I am more than satisfied with the experiences. Everyone involved in teaching, and my fellow students, left me with inspiration and new flame in the fire of my soul. Very thankful, eternally grateful, and filled with an abundance of appreciation. read more

Its my right decision to join Reiki class at SF Reiki Center. After 2 full days in the class I totally can do Reiki at home for myself and others. People who want to treat yourself better, learn Reiki. APPRECIATE TO THE UNIVERSE BROUGHT ME TO REIKI. read more

I received 3 in-person Reiki sessions here last month and my experience was nothing short of amazing! My Reiki healer was Keiko and she is the real deal. I felt the energy shifting in my body during the session and felt very calm, grounded and peaceful afterward. Keiko went above and beyond to work with me, consistently checked up on me following each session and even printed out the plans I sent her of areas I wanted to work on. I also received healing from trainees in the community clinic, and they did such a fantastic job too! I'm blown away by how awesome my experience here was. I've been working through trauma for a while now and Reiki here has been integral to my healing process. You can tell the people here are passionate about what they do and take their craft seriously. I'm so glad I found this place. SF Reiki has my highest personal recommendation and I strongly encourage anyone considering Reiki to come here! read more

Just finished my 2nd Degree Reiki certification last night with Christopher and Dave . I felt very safe and secure with their COVID-19 precautions and cleaning procedures. That said let's get into the details! I completed my 1st Degree certification with Christopher in the summer of '17. I was in a really dark place at the time so I wasn't able to fully capture the experience. Once I got into a better place I met a Couple of Reiki Masters that took me under their wings and trained me to be practitioner. I knew something was still missing so I decided I was spiritually and emotionally ready for Reiki 2nd degree . I kept checking in on the SFREIKI INSTAGRAM about next classes . Christopher was very responsive and I felt very confident signing up. The training was LIFE CHANGING ! I carry a lot of trauma in my body so there were some pretty big releases as we worked on each other with our new teachings . I felt very seen and heard by my Classmate and my Masters. I would love to share more details but those are sacred and special to me and you're going to have your own experience so I highly recommend signing up ! Feeling grateful and blessed. read more

I took Christopher's Reiki 1 class this past weekend and the experience was excellent. His energy is so loving and sweet, and his heart and soul goes into his work. I felt the same vibes from his Reiki master candidate, Dave. Together, they created a space where I felt like I belonged. I feel so connected to the universe now more than ever, and I cannot wait to take Reiki 2 in 2021. The amount of information he manages to teach in only 2 days is astounding. SF Reiki center is THE place to go, for both learning and receiving healing. Christopher will take great care of you, and honor you like you were his own grandmother and it shows. Thank you!! read more

If you are considering getting Reiki, or learning Reiki from Christopher DO IT. Take my review as a SIGN and do it. I decided to take Reiki after having a lot of spiritual experiences. I lost my job last year due to covid. I also developed a pain disorder. I started meditating every day to relieve the pain. And then began having mystical experiences that can not be expressed with words. I have been practicing occult magick energy work for a long time. Some would believe before I was born. *giggles* So I am not new to woo woo. And yet, I was utterly impressed with what I experience in my Reiki 1 class experience. And it is an experience! It was intense. If you don't live in the city you might want to book a room like I did and just relax after. Drink lots of water. Get a HUGE water bottle. Wear comfortable clothing. My classmates were great and I felt extremly relaxed and connected to everyeone. Christopher is very covid aware and made sure all procautions were in place. So you feel safe. Masks on. There was 2 big windows with fans running fresh air in at all times. And a little heater for when it got cold. Christopher always checks in with each and every person. You can really tell he cares. I had a wonderful experience. I plan to be back in some form. Either getting work done or learning more. Good energy is everything in life. It is life. So if you are reading this...just do it yeah. :) Worth it, Rebeka read more

SF Reiki Center is simply wonderful! Had an incredible session with two truly gifted students who I believe were getting their Reiki certification. As they delicately applied their healing hands, I felt an overwhelming emotional sense of warmth, joy, care, connection and love. At a physical level, they thankfully released a chronic shoulder/neck pain, I've had for over a year. I left with a sense that everything is going to be OK. Christopher Tellez and Laura Brunow who were supporting the students were also so informative. Encouraging friends and family to seek this self-care. Highly recommend this experience to all. read more

I am so grateful for Christopher and his Reiki I training - I feel so much more connected to my own energy and excited to continue on with II degree, as well as volunteer at his clinic. I am sooo glad I chose this specific center and teacher, Christopher is very tuned in to the history of Reiki and his Reiki lineage. Learning the history and the masters before him was so vital. His work is very authentic to the tradition and I appreciate that under this lineage, it takes years of training to become a Master. If you want to learn Reiki this is definitely the one to go to! read more

I enjoyed my Reiki training with Christopher. He's a sweet kind soul and a great teacher. He created a comfortable environment to practice and ask questions. I never once felt that I didn't belong there. I enjoyed my lessons with him and feel so much more connected to my understanding of Reiki, including the history and how to use Reiki energy. I'm glad I choose SF Reiki Center and would highly suggest this class if Reiki is your goal. read more

I just finished Reiki level 2 with Christopher. The class brings me positive vibe. I just had an anxiety and tried to control everything. After I had done first day attunement and hand on reiki from my classmate, I felt calm and be able to focus. The study regarding mental healing is deep and realistic. I would recommend Christopher to be your reiki teacher. I am very thankful and grateful to attend this class. read more

I have taken two class classes and learned a lot. I am very happy with the instructors and the content. I love that they made sure we understood and we were well taken care of. I will definitely take more classes in the future. read more

I had the most incredible experience earning my Reiki I certification from Reiki Master Christopher Tellez at SF Reiki Center this weekend. Christopher is a warm, gentle, and inclusive teacher and our small group of seven students really bonded over the course of his instruction. I learned so much about the history and practice of reiki at the first degree level and would highly recommend Christopher and SF Reiki Center to anyone curious about the benefits of reiki. I can't wait to continue practicing reiki and look forward to attending other community events at SF Reiki Center. read more

Just finished my 2 day session at the SF Reiki Center with Reiki Master Christopher Tellez. His training was very well planned, holistic, and tremendously informative. Christopher provided a warm, nurturing environment for us to learn, as well as to ask as many questions needed. Little did I know the training would have such a profound effect on my life. Thank you for teaching me and helping me to heal. Helen G. read more

I had the pleasure of taking my Reiki 1 class with Dave Hadley this past weekend and he was great. I was blessed to have one on one experience due to COVID and not having anyone sign up the same time. Dave really took his time with great amount of patience, and loving energy to teach me what I needed to learn to be able to do Reiki I healing on myself and loved ones. He took all precautions in following COVID protocols to keep us safe and secure. I would recommend this to anyone interested in learning Reiki energy healing and connectedness to the universe. read more

The First Degree Reiki course was awesome! Very comprehensive. I walked away feeling confident in my ability to practice Reiki at the First Degree level. read more

I just completed Reiki 1 and it was such a wonderful experience. Christopher is a thoughtful leader and engaging teacher and the weekend flew by! It was great hands-on practice as well. Highly recommend if you are interested in the practice! read more

SF Reiki is as good as it can get. I recently completed my First Degree Reiki course with Christopher and let me tell you-- he is nothing short of amazing! Patient, kind, caring, thoughtful, aware, and down to earth, Christopher teaches as he is. Not only is he very thorough and knowledgable about the practice and Usui Reiki, he is very involved with the Reiki community. This puts a special touch to the entire experience. I cannot wait to continue to develop my skills under Christopher and his lovely practice. read more

Reiki entered my life as a suggestion. It was suggested to me by a few close individuals who have guided me along my journey of achieving balance. I was told I should look into the practice and so I became curious to learn more. My vibrations drew me to the SF Reiki Center, where I met Christopher. I initially went for a session during the Sunday clinic which was a low barrier to entry, since the cost was relatively affordable or rather donation based. In that first experience, I saw cobalt blue flashes during my treatment and walked away not knowing what I was supposed to experience or feel, but in the days preceding knew something in my energy had lifted. Today Reiki remains in my life as an energy source I go to replenish my own energy. Whether I'm emotionally, physically, mentally, or entirely exhausted across all horizons, Reiki revitalizes my energy. But at SF Reiki Center, it's not just about the Reiki, its about the healer. Christopher has the kind, humane, gentle energy where his care and genuine concern to alleviate you of your tension touches your entire being with compassion. When I go to SF Reiki and see Christopher I am filled with gratitude for his touch, an all encompassing touch that heals your soul, your spirit, and your heart. I always leave lifted and enlightened. While the art of healing via Reiki is a journey, one whose benefits aren't always apparent or effects immediately felt, it's also about being comfortable with the practitioner offering the healing. The relationship you form with a healer is critical to realizing the success of your journey and I couldn't have found a better partner to carry me through the process than Christopher. I entirely encourage and strongly recommend him as a Reiki Healer. read more

I'm always a skeptic about energy work, or really anything that isn't tangible, or that I haven't directly experienced. So, naturally, reiki wasn't my first instinct when it came to body work. As it turns out, reiki is great and Christopher is pretty magical. If someone had told me what reiki had been like for them (perhaps it's different for everyone), I would't have necessarily believed them. I would've never believed that a touch so gentle could move so many things around. Or that I'd feel things as intense as I've felt, on a deep deep level that I can only describe as supraphysical, although you do actually physically feel it as well. I would highly recommend reiki to anyone with physical or spiritual ailments, anger management problems, addiction, etc etc etc. Christopher is very intuitive and compassionate, and can help you work on your inner feng shui, perhaps even if you don't believe in that kind of thing. He is a master of his art, and you will leave feeling calm, relaxed, and perhaps even a little like you just got high. read more

You're in good hands here. Literally. Christopher is kind, compassionate, an experienced clinician, and just a wonderful person to spend time with an get to know. I lucked into the place. Google set us up when I wanted to take a Reiki class. The class & Christopher and Brian, the Master instructor, far exceeded my expectations. And then I came back and learned Reiki II. I've done a great deal of healing/body work over the years, and I've become particular about what qualities I'm looking for in a practitioner. At its heart, I'm looking for someone who has my best interests in mind and who walks his/her talk. Like I said, I've had my expectations exceeded. Not only did I enjoy the classes, I have come to value the community Christopher builds among the students, i.e., a monthly get together, a weekly opportunity to help out in the clinic. He's supportive and invested in all of us improving our skills. And he's quick with a text to respond to a question or comment I may have. I just feel very grateful to have (well, pretty randomly) found SF Reiki Center. I can't say enough good things about the place. Nor can I say enough good about the role that reiki now plays in my life in knitting my life together in a smoother way, in helping me feel more connected to my loved ones and friends, and the good that's out there. read more
