A graduate of The College of Psychic Studies, Giancarlo Serra has studied many healing modalities, including Spiritual Counselling training, and is a healer, therapist and Reiki teacher.
I am an accredited Spiritual Healer, a Gendai Reiki Ho Gokuikaiden (Reiki Master) of the Japanese Lineage, a Usui/Tibetan Reiki Master, and a Holy Fire® Karuna® Reiki Master Teacher, and a Past Life and Regression Therapist.
I had a natural interest in the mysterious and unexplained from an early age and initially pursued studies in Environmental Engineering and Science, however I found that this did not answer all the questions I had in relation to phenomena that simply could not be explained by science.
Following a healing treatment, I received for myself in London when conventional medicine failed, I changed direction to follow the path of complementary holistic therapy and natural healing.
Since 2009 I have trained in a number of countries such as the United States, Japan, Israel, the United Kingdom, and Italy. My teachers include Brian Weiss, Hiroshi Doi, William Lee Rand, William Bloom, and Andy Tomlinson.
My training in healing and therapy work includes: Past Life Therapy training with Brian Weiss MD and Carole Weiss (Omega Institute, United States – 2023); Gendai Reiki Master Special training with Hiroshi Doi (Osaka, Japan – 2023); Holy Fire® Karuna Reiki® Master (Jerusalem, Israel – 2019) and Usui/Holy Fire® Master (Kyoto, Mt. Kurama, Japan – 2018) classes with William Lee Rand; Practical Spirituality and Wellness programme with William Bloom (London – 2017-2018); a one-year Spiritual Counselling course with Sue Allen at the School of Intuition and Healing (London – 2015-2016); a two-year Past Life and Regression Therapy training with Andy Tomlinson at the Past Life Regression Academy in England (2012-2014); a two-year Integrated Healing Diploma course at the College of Psychic Studies (London – 2011-2013).
The focus of my work is to establish the underlying causes of disease and support a person to bring balance and integration. On this path, the person becomes increasingly aware of their role in the healing process and the steps that are needed in order to bring harmony and balance.
The Lineage
Practitioners often choose to study with several different masters over time, and also add different types and styles of Reiki into their toolbox of healing techniques. The number of different Reiki styles is probably over 70 and will keep growing and this can be a bit confusing. However, this diversity does give each practitioner the choice to go to whatever system or style resonates with them at the time.
The significance of the lineage is far more than just the information about the parts of the genealogical tree. The lineage is a transpersonal pool of power that we can call upon to help us and tap into whenever we decide or want to.
The deeper meaning of lineage transcends time and space. It is a profound energetic connection, not just to the people in one’s own Reiki lineage, but to all the teachers and practitioners of all lineages, past present and future.
These below are my own lineages for the different Reiki styles I have studied.

Testimonials

I recently took my Usui Holy Fire III Reiki Master course with Giancarlo. During the class I received much healing and during one of the ignitions I even went back to a past life to heal something! Giancarlo is a very knowledgeable teacher and very patient. His delivery of the course materials made it very easy to understand and he even touched on things that were not in the course material, but that he thought would be very helpful in my Reiki practice. Take your Reiki practice to the next level and take a class from Giancarlo!

Giancarlo Serra has the ability to teach energy work in a way that adds a lot of information, supports the integration of that incoming information, makes it fun and adds the opportunity to begin to collaborate with others in the classes. I took the class on Chakras and I have taken in information that definitely adds to what I am able to add to my therapy work with clients. It added a very useful lens. I highly recommend giving yourself a chance to experience all that Giancarlo’s wisdom and kindness has to offer. I personally look forward to more. Thank you Giancarlo.

I had never attended a course anything like this before, I was worried I may not feel anything, but how wrong I was. I have been overwhelmed with the feelings of energy passing through me. Giancarlo is very knowledgeable, calm and caring - making everything simple to understand. I would recommend this course unreservedly and in particular Giancarlo.

Giancarlo is a beacon of light in an ocean of darkness. At some time, we all need to find a beacon of light to help us on the way. The beacon shines bright because it is lit by the love in his heart. If you work with people who come from such a place of love, then you cannot fail to find the path.
