The History of Reiki

Reiki Waves • June 16, 2020

Where did Reiki come from? This non-invasive healing modality has its roots deep in Japanese culture. A culture that I feel intrinsically connected to through my Japanese ancestry in my mother's and grandmother's lineage. This is an awesome article of Reiki history. From Mikao Usui in Japan to Chujiro Hayashi to Mrs. Hawayo Takata in Hawaii. Click on the link to check it out. ✨🙏✨😘❤️


"The following referenced history of Reiki is taken from Reiki, The Healing Touch, by William Lee Rand and has been carefully researched to contain verified information from dependable sources.


Many consider that Mikao Usui or Usui Sensei as we reverently refer to him, was the creator of Reiki and that the word Reiki applies only to the healing modality he discovered and developed. Yet, when researching the facts concerning the origin of Reiki as a healing modality, we find that prior to Usui Sensei developing his style of Reiki, there were at least four other styles of Reiki healing that were being practiced in Japan. This information comes from Hiroshi Doi Sensei and from Toshitaka Mochitzuki Sensei, two Japanese Reiki researchers. A more detailed understanding of this subject is explained in the book, An Evidence Based History of Reiki.(1, 2)"

New Location at Chadds Ford, PA

September 6, 2023
 It’s been a while since I’ve written a blog! Hope everyone has had a happy and healthy summer! We are at the beginning of the Fall season. The leaves are starting to fall and the morning air is beginning to get crisp! A change of seasons is always exciting for me. New schedules, new routines and never forgetting Self Care because you cannot pour from an empty cup. Speaking of New beginnings, I have the wonderful opportunity with expanding into an additional location inside Dr Jill Chiropractic in Chadds Ford. I first met Dr Jill at the Women’s Professional Group Network in Glen Mills. I made an appointment for a chiropractic adjustment and loved her professionalism and gentle touch. The rest is history! I have many clients that routinely book their massages on the same day of their chiropractic adjustments. The goal is to have your muscles loose and pliable because muscles move bone. A Chiropractic adjustment moves bones. The result is that the client receives a better adjustment and that adjustment lasts longer. It is the perfect combination of therapies that compliment each other perfectly! The best way to optimum health always consists of multiple modalites and factors. I am looking forward to seeing many if you at either my Sola Salon Studios Glen Mills or Chadds Ford locations. If you have any questions, please feel free to email, text or call! I will be more than happy answer any questions you may have! Always Keeping Your Highest Health, Happiness and Healing in Mind!
