reiki
I live in the Los Angeles area and practice Reiki in the simple traditional style of Usui Shiki Ryoho. I learned this folk art from Susan Mitchell, who in turn learned it directly from Hawayo Takata—the woman who brought Reiki to the West.
I have worked in the tech and entertainment industries for many years and first enrolled in a Reiki class seeking to help my wife. But I began treating myself and was surprised to see several chronic health issues quickly resolve, along with other noticeable changes in my life. Years later I continue to treat myself daily and am deeply moved by the evolving impact of this practice on my health and wellbeing.
I believe keeping this tradition unchanged as it was taught to me is essential in preserving it for future generations; I aim to share it in this unaltered form.
