Feel More Balanced and Peaceful with Jikiden Reiki

Why Jikiden Reiki?

Jikiden means ‘directly transmitted’ it is considered to be one of the most authentic styles of Usui Reiki. The seminars replicate the style and content of those held in the 1930s by Chujiro Hayashi, a student of the founder of Reiki, Mikao Usui.

 

From then on she practiced Reiki every day of her life. She successfully used it for commonplace ailments and first aid as well as serious conditions, and raised her 4 children with Reiki only. 

 

Chiyoko passed away in 2003. Her son Tadao, and teachers trained by him, are now making this knowledge and experience available to people all over the world.

This knowledge was passed down unchanged through my teachers.

I am a verified Reiki Practitioner registered with the Complementary Natural Health Care Council.

You might be stressed, anxious, struggling with sleep, or have a physical issue that is preventing you from living life to the full. If this is the case for you, I am here to help.

I had never had a Jikiden Reiki treatment before. From the first treatment I felt so much better in a way I find hard to describe..calmer...peaceful...just lighter...


Jikiden Reiki is Reiki as it was originally taught in Japan. It is simple and extremely effective. I have learnt it as it was originally taught. Whilst I teach both Jikiden and Western style Usui Reiki.

My preference for treatments is Jikiden style. It is so effective.


Sometimes we need some extra help

Releasing tension from your body will help you feel less stressed, sleep better, and have more energy throughout the day. I draw on a range of natural and practical energy techniques to support you to a balance in mind and body.

I listen closely to what you need and use established healing techniques to restore balance and calm, bringing body, emotions, mind, and spirit into unison.

I can't quite put into words how I felt after the treatment, but it was more how I have felt for the last few weeks ... its like I've been recharged..sort of lifted up in some way



I offer Reiki treatments in Exmouth and Exeter

These are fully clothed and can take place lying on a massage table or in a chair.

I also offer a range of Reiki courses and workshops.

What Can I expect during a Jikiden Reiki® Treatment?

During a Jikiden Reiki® treatment, you lie fully clothed on a therapy bed (treatments can be delivered seated if required). The treatment is conducted in a calm, quiet environment away from distractions where you can really relax. Jikiden Reiki is generally a hands on treatment Usui Sensei taught this approach as practitioners are able to feel areas of the body that appear to have a build up of toxins that can directly impact on the body's natural healing ability to restore and rebalance. This is known as byosen.

I use cotton cloths (tenugui) to cover your eyes to aid relaxation. I start at the head unless I am treating a specific area/ symptom on the body e.g. physically injury. I place my hands to where the imbalance is found and then channel Reiki energy through my hands to your body, which your body absorbs, this focused channeling of Reiki works to dissipate areas of tension and support better energy flow to promote balance. (Hand placement will be discussed with you prior to the treatment, with any modifications made to ensure you feel totally comfortable with the process). during which time you relax and unwind to some calming music.

Individual experiences of Reiki treatments can differ. However, Reiki is commonly experienced as a gentle flow of energy promoting a deep sense of relaxation, which commonly continues after the treatment has ended. Clients may or may not feel sensations during a Reiki treatment. Benefits reported by clients include deep relaxation promoting a calm, peaceful sense of well-being on all levels, improved sleep and a general feeling of lightness.

Enkaku (Distant healing)

For those who cannot travel to an in-person Reiki treatment. Reiki is still effective at a distance.

As a Jikiden Reiki® practitioner I will use a specific method of using Reiki energy for you as an absent receiver. Although, an in-person hands on treatment has the additional healing power of touch I am still able to feel the byosen (the body’s reaction/sensations from the illness, stress, worry or injury).


Who can benefit from an Enkaku treatment?

  • Those who cannot travel to me in person wherever they may be in the world
  • Those who may be in hospital
  • Those who are struggling with stress, anxiety or worry who may need a little support through unexpected events or news.


What do I need to do?

I will arrange a time with you to speak prior to the treatment for a short consultation. Choose a time for the treatment when you can fully relax and be undisturbed. It is best if you can continue to relax for a short while afterwards.

My work in Reiki

My work in Reiki covers a number of areas; this may resonate with you too. The Reiki journey takes us on different paths at different times, it is not just about being a practitioner giving treatments or teaching. My journey has involved both those aspects but probably the most important part for me is sharing how living a life infused with Reiki brings joy and balance.

My everyday work in Reiki is focused on family and friends, this is known as 'folk Reiki' and this is all I practiced for many years. Reiki is for sharing

I love offering Reiki treatments here in beautiful Exmouth.

I also offer treatments at adjusted prices to those facing longterm health issues or critical illness. Contact me if you think I can help.

Reiki is a complementary therapy that supports the body's natural healing. It does not replace any medical guidance and advice. Always keep your medical team informed.

I have also worked with other members of the Jikiden Reiki® UK Association to develop the Jikiden Reiki® Verified Practitioner status awarded by the Reiki Council meeting the standards required by the CNHC. I am one of the first Jikiden Reiki® Practitioners in the UK to gain the award.

I am a teacher/assessor for the programme and guide others who also share my passion to enable Reiki to be more widely available in hospitals and other medical settings.

You can be confident you are choosing to work with an experienced passionate Reiki practitioner!

I love to talk about Reiki share success stories, practical approaches and how I live my life with Reiki at its heart. Please contact me if you would like me to give a talk to your group.

Okuden

The Deeper Journey

✨ One-day — 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM

✨ Certified by the Jikiden Reiki® Institute, Japan

Step into the deeper flow of Reiki with the Okuden (deeper level) training — a continuation of connection to Reiki from your Shoden journey. In this course you’ll receive two more traditional Reiju, which will enable you to feel your increasing natural sensitivity to Reiki energy expanding your ability to work with it and gain deeper insight into your own practice.


✦ What You’ll Experience:

  • Two additional Reiju to deepen your energetic capacity and intuitive sensitivity.
  • Enkaku Chiryo — Distance Reiki: Learn how to send Reiki across time and space, offering healing where hands cannot reach. Whether supporting a loved one far away or responding to life’s unexpected moments, this is a beautiful tool for connection and care.
  • Jumon: A key vibrational component that supports distance healing, anchoring intention into resonance.
  • Second Shirushi (symbol) and its use in Sei Heki Chiryo, the psychological treatment that brings support for emotional balance, habit release, and transformation of patterns.
  • Kotodama: The sacred sounds and words that carry healing energy, used within psychological treatment to align mind, body, and spirit.
  • Sei Heki Chiryo: A gentle, traditional Japanese technique for addressing emotional, mental, and behavioral challenges — ideal for supporting both yourself and others with issues such as fears, limiting thoughts, emotional distress, or trauma.

You’ll also deepen your understanding of Japanese spiritual principles and mindset, which sit at the heart of how Reiki is practiced and shared.


 Who is this for?

This course is open to those who have completed a Jikiden Reiki Shoden training with an accredited Jikiden Reiki teacher. Okuden gives you powerful, refined tools for healing and support.

Most students choose to take both Shoden and Okuden separately although three day combined option is a more traditional approach. However, there are aspects of the teaching that relate to the history and culture of the time that are essential to this lineage and you will enjoy more learning in a less pressured additional one day course. This also allows for adequate discussion and practice times within the teaching days.

My personal preference is to teach Shoden and Okuden separately. This allows you to become more settled in your own personal Reiki practice before deepening your practice. You will be a confident Jikiden Reiki Practitioner.

I am offering Okuden as part of a 3 day course in January if there is sufficient need.


Pricing:

£260 (from September 2025)
