Jikiden Reiki® Training
I offer Japanese Jikiden Reiki® training, rooted in a direct lineage that preserves the original teachings of Reiki as passed down in Japan. My teaching is supported by many years of full-time work as both a practitioner and teacher, ensuring that students receive clear, respectful, and authentic instruction.
Training is suitable for those seeking personal healing, as well as for those who feel called to practise Reiki professionally. Courses are taught in a supportive and well-structured way, allowing students to develop confidence, sensitivity in their hands, and a deep understanding of Reiki as it has been traditionally practised.
As one of a small number of senior teachers (Dai-Shihan) able to guide students to advanced levels, I place great importance on safety, integrity, and ongoing support throughout your Reiki learning journey.
About Rika
My name is Rika Tanaka, and I have been practising Reiki since 2004. I was born and raised in Japan and now work full-time as a Reiki practitioner and teacher in London, offering both treatments and training grounded in traditional Japanese practice.
I trained directly with Tadao Yamaguchi, the head of the Jikiden Reiki Institute, and for many years supported his work in Europe as an interpreter and organiser of trainings in the UK. Alongside my teaching, I offer one-to-one Reiki sessions, available in person and at a distance, bringing a calm, professional, and caring approach shaped by long-term experience.
My background also includes training in a wide range of holistic therapies, which supports my ability to offer Reiki in a way that is thoughtful, well grounded, and responsive to each individual. My intention is to create a safe space where people feel supported, understood, and in warm, experienced hands.
Reiki Sessions
I offer one-to-one Reiki sessions for those seeking gentle yet effective, professional support for their physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. Sessions are available in person or at a distance, allowing you to receive Reiki support wherever you are.
My approach is grounded in traditional Japanese Reiki practice and many years of full-time experience. Each session is personalised, responsive, and carried out with care, supporting deep relaxation and helping the body and mind return to a more balanced state.
Reiki sessions are suitable whether you are experiencing stress, emotional challenges, ongoing health concerns, or simply wish to feel more centred and supported. Many clients describe feeling calmer, clearer, and more at ease after a session.
