PRACTICE | LINEAGE

Practice

The foundation of my practice is Reiki, a Japanese spiritual healing system that was developed in the 1900s. It combines meditation, breath-work, mindfulness, chanting, sound, prayers, self-inquiry, and hands-on healing. Through my 15 years of practice, Reiki has become a way of life. 

​

Reiki Lineage

My lineage includes both the Japanese and Western branches as my training has been in the traditional Japanese system of Reiki as well as in its Western modern form. I studied with William Rand, President of the International Center for Reiki Training (ICRT) as well as with Frank Arjava Petter and Tadao Yamaguchi while in Japan.  I am currently a graduate student of Frans Stiene, co-founder of the International House of Reiki (IHR). 

 

My Japanese lineage is Usui Reiki Ryoho: Usui Mikao (founder of Usui Reiki Ryoho and Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai)/Kanichi Taketomi (3rd President of Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai)/Koyama Kimko (6th President of Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai)/Doi Hiroshi (Member of Usui Reiki Ryoho Gakkai)/Frans Stiene (IHR)/Veronique Frede
