Biography

Born and raised in Japan I absorbed the perceptions and ways of thinking of the Japanese through osmosis.. From my earliest recollections I have been interested in the stories of the "bushi" (samurai) and their code of conduct and training methods. The lighter side of my interests include a love of dance, music and reading. All of this became a good catalyst for me later on when I discovered "ki".

The spiritual aspects of a person's life - be it a religious calling, or a personal journey - has always fascinated me. I have always been comfortable with the idea of being a spiritual being in a physical body and that we are part of everything around us. Natural healing is an offshoot of this thought.

I came to Canada over 40 years ago and call it home. Continuing my never-ending search for "something", Life finally in 1995 led me to a group of healers in various professions. I chose Reiki after my first experience because I felt very much at home both with the concept and the feeling. It was very definitely a feeling of "coming home". At the same time I felt a need to do Tai Chi and started in 1996. These 2 Asian arts have sustained me through the years and I take much joy in both practicing and teaching.

I offer free-of-charge individual consultations and informational talks to groups who are interested in learning more about the therapy and lifestyle of Komyo Reiki.
