"When I first began practicing massage 6 1/2 years ago, I was very excited at the measurable benefits that I could achieve through the manipulation of soft tissue. The more I practiced and the more experience I gained, I became aware of other sensations that massage could not address. It was then that I became more interested and intrigues by the energy aspect of my work. 

After discussing Reiki in detail with a colleague at work, I decided it would be a great addition to my practice. 

Mari was very knowledgeable and through about both the history and principles of Jikiden Reiki making her a fantastic teacher. Her patience and respectfulness of the information, she was passing on to us gave us all a complete understanding of how sacred this discipline should be treated. Her enthusiasm and passion of what she does was very infectious and made for a very positive learning experience. 

I have received both level 1 & level 2 Jikiden Reiki from Mari and am very grateful that our paths have crossed. 

Jikiden Reiki has been a great addition to both my life and my practice. I knowit has made a difference through the affirmations I have received from my clients. 

I respect and admire Mari for her great gift that she has chosen to share with all who wish to accept and receive it into their lives. I am extremely grateful for Mari and the door she has opened for me to encorporate Jikiden Reiki into both my professional and personal life. 
Thank you, Mari "
