Consider a Reiki Class in East Tennessee

If you are considering combining a mini vacation with a Reiki Class here in beautiful and scenic Ooltewah TN, here are some travel tips for the Greater Chattanooga Area.



Ooltewah Tennessee and the Greater Chattanooga Area offer many attractions. If you can spare an extra day or two to look around you won't be disappointed. Ooltewah is about 30 minutes from many Chattanooga tourist attractions, restaurants and areas of interest and only 15 minutes from Harrison Bay State Park. There is something for everyone here whether you prefer tourist areas like Ruby Falls and Rock City, having an ice cream as you stroll across the famous Walnut Street walking bridge over the Tennessee River or taking quiet walks by the water, like the hiking trails in Harrison Bay State Park.


As you research the area for somewhere to stay, remember that it might be closer to go outside of Ooltewah for accommodations. Ringgold Georgia offers some nice AirBnbs and is not far at all from The Reiki Place. Collegedale is in the same zip code as Ooltewah, and Harrison and Cleveland are a 20-30 minute drive through some of Tennessee's finest countryside.


For your mapping convenience, The Reiki Place is located at: 7800 Steppingstone Ln, Ooltewah, TN 37363. It's a four mile drive up Snow Hill Road from highway 11 (exit 11 off I-75).


Prices quoted below are just a guide, change with the seasons and are quoted prior to an internet search will reveal plenty more options.


Camping: Harrison Bay State Park is just 11 minutes from The Reiki Place.

The Park incorporates Lake Chickamauga where you can go kayaking, paddle boating, rent a speed boat, go fishing, park your RV, or simply go for a hike or a bike ride around the lake. Other outdoor spaces include Booker T. Washington State Park, The Tennessee Riverwalk, White Oak Mountain Hiking Trails and Audubon Acres. The Collegedale Greenway and Wolftever Creek which is just a few minutes by car from The Reiki Place. There is a beautiful duck refuge there as well.
