Discover the spiritual healing art of Komyo ReikiDo
Reiki is a gentle, yet profound, healing art and spiritual practice that originated in Japan a century ago by a spiritual teacher and healer named Mikao Usui.
I teach all levels of Komyo ReikiDo, a true Japanese-style Reiki that presents this spiritual healing art as it was understood and commonly practiced in Japan in the 1930’s.
Komyo ReikiDo is Usui Reiki in form and practice, because it retains the concepts that originated in Japan with Mikao Usui and were transmitted forward via his successor, Chujiro Hayashi.
I was certified as a Komyo ReikiDo Shihan (teacher who can teach other teachers) in 2010 by Hyakuten Inamoto, a Japanese Buddhist monk from Kyoto, my direct teacher and founder of the system (see my story.)
I am the first fully qualified Shihan to practice and teach Komyo ReikiDo in the Southeast, and have been doing so regularly for over 10 years. I have sat for full Komyo ReikiDo training four times with Hyakuten Inamoto, also hosting him twice in Atlanta.
I was also certified as a Reiki Master in 2006 in the Usui System of Natural Healing from Brad Dixon.
Why choose to train with me?
Teaching Reiki is one of my big joys in life and I am honored to share this practice with you.
Reiki is so much more than a technique or modality for hands-on healing. Reiki is a complete practice for personal well-being and spiritual growth that reconnects us with the miraculous and sacred energy of the universe.
Whether you are interested in learning Reiki as a personal practice for self-care, would like to eventually practice or teach Reiki professionally, I am here to mentor and accompany you on your journey. I have been teaching Reiki and facilitating workshops regularly since 2009.
What sets me apart from many other Reiki teachers is that my Reiki practice isn’t something I do as an add-on to my healing practice, or something I occasionally enjoy sharing with other people.
Reiki is my primary spiritual and healing practice. My deep experience with Reiki practice benefits you directly because I have nearly two decades and thousands of hours of Reiki practice to draw from when I teach my classes.
As an experienced teacher, I offer the education, tools, and support to help you make the most of the practical and spiritual aspects of Komyo ReikiDo practice, including:
- Official Komyo ReikiDo manuals
- Group and individual mentoring
- Video series to support your daily practice
- Private community Facebook group
- Private student practice days (online and in-person)
- Continuing education workshops
What is Komyo ReikiDo?
Komyo ReikiDo is a complete system of traditional Japanese-style Reiki. Each level is meant to build upon each other in the context of a Japanese approach to spiritual healing, philosophy, and practice.
The purpose of Komyo ReikiDo is to strive for the improvement of mind and body through Reiki practice, to cultivate a healthy and peaceful life.
In Japanese, “do” means ‘a way, or a path’, especially in context with a spiritual training or practice. The emphasis of Komyo ReikiDo teachings have always been on Reiki practice as a pathway to healing and a ‘gateway to spiritual awakening’. Enhanced healing ability comes naturally when we grasp our innate connection to the Universe.
Komyo ReikiDo Levels
I welcome students from any lineage or level of practice. However, Komyo ReikiDo International requires that all students interested in learning Komyo ReikiDo must start at Level I (Shoden), regardless of previous training in other systems of Reiki. This is to ensure a full understanding of our approach to this spiritual healing art and practice.
Shoden (Level I): This introduction to Japanese-style Reiki teaches you the basics of hands-on healing to take better care of yourself, as well as caring for family and friends. You will be taught about the Reiki Precepts and how to use them; be introduced to Japanese spiritual concepts, spiritual lineage, and ancestral practice; and learn daily meditations to increase your vital energy. Shoden is taught throughout the year. Fee: $250
Chuden (Level II): This intermediate level teaches you traditional Japanese Reiki healing techniques utilizing 3 symbols and mantras for focusing energy, mental/emotional healing, and facilitating distance healing. You will also learn hands-on approaches for vital energy balancing and toxin release. As part of your training, you will also be introduced to energetic and meditative practices for your continued spiritual development. Chuden is taught several times a year. Fee: $275
Okuden (Level III): This advanced level supports your inner growth as a Reiki practitioner, and introduces you to the deeper spiritual aspects of Reiki Ryoho. You will learn one additional symbol and mantra as a personal empowerment. This class completes all of the practitioner-level KRD training, which means you must maintain a consistent practice with Komyo ReikiDo to be eligible. Students must wait a minimum of 6 months after taking Chuden before taking this level. Okuden is taught once or twice a year. Fee: $375
Shinpiden (Level IV): This level is offered by invitation only for students who are serious about their Reiki practice and intend to teach Komyo ReikiDo. It takes a minimum of 2.5 – 3 years for students to complete the practitioner-level work necessary to qualify for teacher training. This is a path of personal commitment, deep practice, and spiritual growth. Once you are initiated into Shinpiden, you must complete a year-long apprenticeship with me before you are given permission to begin teaching Komyo ReikiDo.
Note: Like many other Japanese-style practices (martial arts, flower arranging, calligraphy) proficiency in practice and understanding of spiritual concepts must be demonstrated in order to advance to the next level of Komyo ReikiDo training.
Post-class practice exercises and assignments must be completed in order to receive certificates, and to be eligible to continue training at intermediate and advanced levels. My students also regularly re-sit for classes at a reduced fee to refresh their knowledge.
