Reiki Barcelona – Reiki Training and Healing Sessions in E'ixample
My Barcelona practice is based in Eixample, where I offer Reiki trainings and hold individual Reiki sessions. I am Hande Özerden, founder of Reiki Gaia, and this is the city where my Reiki path first opened more than twenty years ago. After two decades of living and teaching in Spain and England, working here still feels like returning to the source. Sessions and trainings are available in English, Spanish and Turkish, and my door is open to the international community that makes this city what it is. Come with whatever you carry — a restless mind, a heavy heart or a medical process that needs gentle support — and you will find sincere, conscious guidance.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese practice of energy-healing, and words only carry you to its doorstep; the rest is lived. The universal life energy meets body and mind exactly where they are and gently walks them back towards their own balance, without ever forcing. On the What is Reiki page, I explore where this practice comes from and what it can open in a life.
Discover ReikiReiki Sessions in Barcelona (In Person & Online)
One thing is asked of you in a session: permission. I open the space and channel the energy; you sink into a deep quiet where the body remembers how to settle itself. We can work face-to-face in my Eixample space, or through distance Reiki (online), wherever in the world you may be.
Experience HealingReiki Training in Barcelona – In Person, in Small Groups
A Reiki training adds nothing foreign to you; it uncovers what was always yours. I teach only face-to-face, in small groups, with personal guidance and an internationally recognised certificate, and I stay beside you from your first attunement all the way to Master level. Trainings can be held in English or Spanish.

Welcome to the Awakening!
May your transformation be filled with joy and grace. As the deceptive images of the past gently fade away, may you realize how great and powerful you truly are!
Sound reaches places hands cannot. When the quartz crystal bowls begin to sound, their resonance moves through the body in slow waves, and the mind gives up its noise almost without noticing. Woven into Reiki, the experience goes deeper still. You can find everything about my individual sessions and group sound circles on the Sound Healing Barcelona page.
Reiki Barcelona: Why Reiki Gaia?
Barcelona is not simply one of the cities I work in; it is where everything started. More than twenty years ago, in this city, I began studying under Reiki Master Virginia Gomar. The years I had the privilege of spending in her presence and learning from her wisdom left a lasting imprint on me and shaped the healer I am today. Since those first days, I have remained faithful to the lineage and standards of the Spanish Reiki Alliance.
Life then carried me between Spain and England for twenty years, and Reiki travelled with me the whole way. Sharing it across so many cultures and languages taught me that healing speaks every tongue; today I continue that work between Barcelona, Istanbul and London. Each person who finds their way to me brings a story of their own, and in every session and every training, my intention remains the same: to meet that story with an open heart and from an honest place, so that it can finally begin to flow.
I also keep my trainings deliberately small. In a small group, every student is truly seen, receives personal guidance, and is given the space that real transformation needs. Whether you are taking your very first step into Reiki or deepening a practice of many years, I am here to walk beside you—with presence, with the clarity of Truth, and from the heart.
If you are curious about my path, my About page tells it in full, and on the Reiki Reviews page you can read what my clients and students say.
The Roots of Reiki Gaia:
Whispers of Lemuria and the Pleiades
The name Reiki Gaia carries a story. For the ancient Greeks, Gaia was the Earth herself: the living mother who feeds us, carries us, and heals us. I chose this name to honour a connection that moves in two directions at once: down into the Earth and up towards the stars.
My own path has never been shaped by traditional Reiki teachings alone. Alongside them walks an older wisdom, one I have come to know through Lemuria and the Pleiades. It has accompanied me quietly for many years, like a teacher who never raises her voice.
Everything I offer in sessions and trainings comes from this same place. And the intention behind it has never changed: to open a safe space where you can return to your own essence.

“What can I say about Hande that her eyes don't already tell you? Those eyes that speak without words, transmitting all her energy, peace, and every other quality that brings harmony. I discovered Reiki 12 years ago, but at that time I only completed the first level. Then, in the summer of 2010, something happened in my life that led me back to Reiki (and that's when I found Hande). It's a path that offers nothing but good things. Those things we search for throughout life but can't seem to reach because of the hectic pace of daily life. With Reiki, you can stop and appreciate all the good things we're missing along the way. If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it. You'll discover something within yourself that you didn't even know existed... Thank you, Hande, for being in my life. A huge kiss.”

For me, it was a turning point in my life. Reiki, besides filling me with love and clarity, allowed me to experience life with a kind of joy I hadn't felt before receiving the first and second levels of Reiki from Hande. The essence she transmits is so full of light, love, affection, and wisdom that it's very difficult not to maintain a consistent practice. The monthly sessions open you to profound knowledge. So much so that I decided to be initiated into the third level and the Master level. After consistent practice and deep self-knowledge and enriching experiences, I was able to create a center where I offer Reiki to everyone who comes to me, both as sessions and as initiations. Twelve years later, by a twist of fate, I reconnected with this wonderful Master of life, light, and love, Hande. I now dedicate myself professionally to the service of Reiki. Eight years ago, while giving Reiki sessions, I met someone who was first a Reiki patient, then a student, and thanks to Reiki, we eventually became partners and colleagues. We have been working together for six years and continue to grow together. And now I can say that finding Hande wasn't a coincidence; it was the beginning of a new life, both personally and professionally. With Reiki, I was able to expand the services I already offered as a physiotherapist and massage therapist, helping patients' recoveries to be more conscious and profound. Thank you, beautiful sister. Thank you, Master. Thank you for crossing my path in such a loving and professional way. Thank you for so much wisdom. Thank you for sharing all your gifts and putting them at the service of humanity with such tenderness and awareness. I love you, I honor you, I acknowledge you, I embrace you. Hande, thank you for existing in this time, space, light, and love on all your paths. 🫂🤍🙏💫

Having a Reiki experience with Hande was amazing. She is a pure Reiki channel. She is always deep, has empathy towards all beings and has intuitive capacity to access higher dimensions. The years I had been initiated into Reiki with her, she patiently handed the symbols to me. Her presence was always a Light for me to follow. I am grateful for the divine within me that showed me the way to Hande's healing hands.Posted on Google![]()

Of Hande, I can only say that there are no words that can accurately describe what emanates from her. Ten years ago, I began my Reiki training with her, eventually receiving two Reiki Master certifications. At times, the results have been spectacular, and her teachings were so profound that even today, phrases and words of hers still resonate within me. Among the things that most surprised and captivated me about her were her humility, her simplicity and ease of communication, and above all, seeing that she was truly connected. Thank you, Hande. I am deeply grateful to have shared time with you and to have met you.

I had the pleasure of being on the receiving end of a magical initiation to reiki. Hande created an atmosphere of care and listened openly to my comments pre and post the experience. I was guided to her practice by a friend and have recommended her thereafter. She's a true healer, very connected to her calling and super approachable.Posted on Google![]()

I came to do Reiki Healing session with Hande about 2 years ago and it was my first time then. It was one of the most memorable experience I ever had. And so from time to time, I still do sessions with Hande especially if I needed my energy to be healed and my spirit guided. She gives light and love in each session and for that I am truly grateful! Her Moon Meditations are amazing and powerful as well! Thank you Hande for sharing your gift and healing with me 🤍🙏Posted on Google![]()

The place where I received my first reiki training. Hande is truly an extraordinary teacher and opens the doors of Reiki and many energy works to you with patience and great dedication. Reiki is not only healing, but also a person's journey of self-finding, and Hande will be an amazing guide to you on this journey. I highly recommend Reiki Gaia to everyone💖Posted on Google![]()

I first went to Handed a few years ago to do a course in reiki. I found her to be very kind and patient. She explained the concepts and practices very well. She has a very calm energy and this is evident in her manner and her work. I recently visited her for a reiki session in May 2024, as I felt I needed an energy balance. She took the time out to talk to me beforehand and understand my motivation behind the session. I've been for reiki before, but what I really appreciated from Hande was that she does not rush her work. She does a beautiful sound bath session before the reiki that really puts you in a meditative, peaceful state of mind. I felt less anxious and more in balance after my session and in the days to come. I'd definitely recommend Hande for reiki and energy work. She has a wonderfully special gift.Posted on Google![]()

After undergoing Hande's Reiki 1 and Reiki 2 trainings, I experienced a transformative journey that profoundly altered my life. The convergence of sound and healing marked a true turning point for me. Hande's healing sessions conducted through sound bowls filled me with deep peace and inner harmony. Hande's guidance has not only brought healing to my life but has also taught me the importance of self-care and self-reflection. Her presence is like a beacon of light, guiding me towards a deeper understanding of myself and the world around me. I am forever grateful for her profound influence on my journey towards inner peace and fulfillment.Posted on Google![]()

I first met Hande back in 2018 for my very first Reiki initiation, and it was nothing short of magical. That experience opened up a new perspective on life for me and brought so many positive shifts along the way. From the very beginning, I felt an incredible sense of calm and safety in her presence—her energy is so grounding, nurturing, and full of light. The gatherings she creates are always such beautiful spaces—warm, heartfelt, and filled with deep, meaningful connections. They truly have a way of touching the soul and leaving you feeling inspired. I also deeply appreciate her authenticity and the way she brings so much wisdom and curiosity to every conversation. Hande is a true trailblazer and has been such a pivotal part of my personal Reiki journey. If you feel called to Reiki, I hope you get the chance to cross paths with Hande. She’s truly one of a kind, and her presence is a gift. Sending so much love and gratitude to Hande!Posted on Google![]()

I recently had a Reiki session with Hande, and it was truly exceptional. I’m very familiar with Reiki, having experienced sessions in London, Japan, China and many other places during my travels, guided by different masters. I was genuinely and pleasantly surprised by how powerful and deep Hande’s session was. She has a remarkable ability to help bring healing not only to the body but also to the soul. Her intuitive presence and energy made me realise important things about my own perception and inner state. Her studio is peaceful, easy to find, and very accessible. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking true energetic healing and deeper self-awareness. Thank you, Hande.Posted on Google![]()

Hande is a truly remarkable, loving and powerful healer. Her healing space is very calm, peaceful and soothing to the soul. The level of deep healing that Hande gifted to my mind, body and spirit throughout the whole session, has shifted and elevated me on a level that I was finally ready to receive and eternalize. I encourage you to have a session with her, leave all of your fear and worries at the door and prepare to be enriched in ways you’ve never thought possible. Enlightenment, empowerment, deep healing and love on an eternal level is what I’ve gained by having just one session with Hande here in Istanbul. She’s the real deal and I’m so grateful to have her part of my world now.Posted on Google![]()

I had a truly beautiful experience. The space felt calm, safe, and welcoming from the moment I arrived. The session was deeply grounding and helped me feel more balanced and relaxed, both physically and emotionally. You can really feel the care, intention, and genuine energy behind the work. I left feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected. Highly recommended for anyone looking to reset and reconnect with themselves.Posted on Google![]()

"I came to Reiki during a difficult time in my life, facing cancer. During my chemotherapy treatment, Hande frequently provided me with Reiki therapy sessions, which not only helped alleviate some of the side effects but also brought me inner peace and a deep understanding of what I was going through. This process made my healing more complete, in both body and spirit. My eyes shone with a sweet light, a love I had never felt before. As I neared the end of my treatment, I decided to receive my Reiki initiation. It was a significant step to reconnect with myself and to continue growing both personally and spiritually. Now, Reiki is part of my daily.." Click to Read More

"My first contact with Reiki was in Hande’s Reiki course in November 2010. The course took place over a weekend, covering the first and second levels of Reiki. For me, it was an unforgettable experience, marking the beginning of a different life in which I began incorporating my new knowledge into my everyday routine. It is wonderful to offer Reiki to people close to you and to yourself; it’s deeply gratifying and a powerful tool to address both physical and emotional pain, helping us understand ourselves on a different level. My experience that weekend marked a before and after in my life, something I recommend to everyone." Click to Read More

"I came to Hande and Reiki with many questions, looking for answers, and I found some just in our first interview. The rest came when I receive Reiki initiation from Hande. It’s hard to explain if you haven’t experienced it. I found peace within myself, which helped bring me greater clarity, strength, and mental, physical, and spiritual health. Reiki is wonderful, and Hande is a being of light who transmits the power of Reiki with an infinite strength. I love Reiki and the happiness it brings me. It has helped me accept myself as I am, forgive myself, and heal everything that needed to be healed. I cannot express in words what Reiki and Hande mean..." Click to Read More

"I started my journey two years ago with the intention of understanding myself and my surroundings better, not knowing exactly what it would mean in my life. After the Reiki initiation, I experienced radical changes that gradually took root in my life: nothing is the same, and I am not the same person. I have learned to know myself, value myself, and those around me. Everything has changed, and every day my life aligns more with what I desire, need, and came here to learn.
