Restorative healing and energy for all areas, ages and stages of life.

Jikiden Reiki carries a beautiful legacy rooted in early 20th-century Japan. The word Jikiden means "directly taught" or "direct transmission", reflecting a tradition passed from teacher to student through personal instruction and hands-on practice.

Its roots reach back to Mikao Usui, who established Usui Reiki Ryoho in Japan in the 1920s. Among the important teachers who helped carry these teachings forward was Chujiro Hayashi, a student of Usui who developed a more structured approach to Reiki practice and teaching.

In the 1930s, Chiyoko Yamaguchi began studying Reiki as a young woman through the Hayashi lineage. She practiced Reiki throughout her life, preserving many of the traditional Japanese methods and teachings within her family and community. Decades later, she began teaching openly, together with her son Tadao Yamaguchi, helping bring this Japanese lineage to practitioners around the world.

Today, Jikiden Reiki is cherished for its simplicity, authenticity, and emphasis on direct experience. Rather than focusing on elaborate ritual, it honors the quiet practice of hands-on healing, self-care, and the transmission of knowledge from one generation to the next.
