Biography
Last summer I returned to Surrey, B.C. after living in Osaka, Japan for five years. I began studying Reiki in the spring of 2004 when I took the First Degree Reiki class (Shoden) of the Komyo Reiki Kai school founded by my teacher, a Buddhist monk called Rev. Hyakuten Inamoto. Since then, I have been studying and practicing Reiki healing, and I eventually became a Reiki Teacher so I could share the gift of Reiki with others.Before going to Japan, I completed a Bachelors Degree of English Literature and Canadian History, followed by a Post-Baccalaureate Diploma of Journalism (pending completion of internship). In the fall of 2008 I will complete a Bachelors Degree of Education.
In September 2006 I began a journalism and public relations internship for the Canadian Reiki Association. I am currently teaching Reiki in Surrey, British Columbia.
Professional Association
I am a registered member of the Canadian Reiki Association, a non-profit organization committed to promoting ethical practices and teaching of Reiki, and encouraging professionalism and educational standards for all members.
