HEALING THROUGH REIKI
Throughout life we incur physical and emotional traumas, challenges, stressor and injuries.
Reiki is a gentle and powerful natural therapy that promotes healing by repairing and restoring clients (layer by layer) back to physical, mental, emotional, psychological and spiritual perfection
To heal means to make whole, to restore to health physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
WHAT IS REIKI?
Reiki is a Japanese healing art founded by Mikao Usui in Tokyo. It harnesses the Universal or vital life-force energy that creates and sustains all life. 'Rei' signifies Universal, vital, ethereal life force while 'KI' means energy
Various factors in life effect our cellular frequency, chi strength and flow, mental, physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
For centuries, Reiki as an energy has facilitated healing on levels, by clearing stagnation, energy flow and restoring cells and our energy bodies to their optimal state.
On another level, Reiki has a mystical quality and through its connection, can help restore us back to our true, spiritual nature.
During a Reiki session, a Reiki Practitioner channels the vital, life-force energy by placing their hands your clothed body, connecting you to the healing power of Reiki.
"Life leaves its mark, much like footprints on sand. Reiki works like an ocean's wave, gently rolling in and restoring the sand to its pristine state"
Reiki Master Helen Callanan

"Reiki truly has been an extraordinary Gift in my life. I hope will all my heart that you give yourself the Gift of Reiki in yours"
Fiona Phillips
EXPLORE...
A warm, heartfelt welcome to Within The Space.
Practicing Reiki is a Great Love of mine! It is truly a joy and privilege to do this work...to witness the transformations and improved quality of life of my clients and students as a result of Reiki.
Over the years, I have explored and trained in many different Reiki systems seeking to find a system the retained the integrity of the original system and afforded me the greatest opportunity to deepen my spiritual path and be the best Reiki channel I can be. Along my path, I was surprised to discover that almost all systems of Reiki practiced and taught around the world, including ones with names like 'Traditional Usui Reiki, or 'Traditional Japanese Reiki' are in fact 'Westernised' systems of Reiki which have removed a large portion of the original practice and techniques.
LINEAGE AND TRADITIONS
My Reiki practice and the system I teach here in Melbourne is the Usui System of Natural Healing, and is a Japanese, non-Westernised traditional practice of Reiki.
My Reiki practice is based on the teachings of both Jikiden Reiki and the Arjava Petter Institute (and to the extent of its emphasis on Reiki as a spiritual path, Komyo ReikiDo).
JIKIDEN REIKI “Direct Teaching”
Jikiden Reiki is a traditional Japanese Reiki system developed by Chiyoko Yamaguchi, a direct student of Chujiro Hayashi, and her son, Tadao Yamaguchi.
Hayashi Sensei was the last teacher trained by Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki.
Jikiden Reiki is based directly on Hayashi’s teachings and remains true to his original spiritual and healing practices - including Reiju, traditional techniques, and original symbols - preserved exactly as they were taught in Japan.
Founded in 2025 by Frank Arjava Petter, following his retirement as Co-Principal of the Jikiden Reiki Institute.
A direct student of Chiyoko Yamaguchi, who studied under Chujiro Hayashi, Arjava continues to teach Usui Reiki Ryōhō in its pure form - unchanged from Hayashi’s original methods - while also sharing additional techniques practised within the Usui Reiki Ryōhō Gakkai (the association established by Mikao Usui).
An internationally respected author and teacher, Arjava has helped bridge Eastern and Western understandings of Reiki. His many years living in Japan, and his close contact with those nearest to Reiki’s origins, including Usui Sensei’s family and Presidents of the Gakkai, bring depth, authenticity, and reverence to his teachings.
MY PRACTICE AND TEACHING
My practise and teachings are untouched by Western adaptation, retaining the integrity, depth, and authenticity of the traditional Japanese practices created by Reiki’s founder, Mikao Usui.
Whilst many systems of Reiki use the terms 'Traditional Japanese Reiki', 99% of the systems practiced and taught are adapted versions. The original, unchanged form of Reiki has always resonated deeply with me, in both my personal practice and my teaching. I’m drawn to the simplicity and power of the traditional techniques, which allow Reiki to be experienced as it was originally intended: as a pathway to inner peace, health and happiness.
For those of you seeking to have Reiki sessions with me or are interested in learning Reiki for yourself here in Melbourne, I invite you to explore this website, which offers in depth information about Reiki, its history and various systems of Reiki, Reiki sessions and Reiki courses) and learn more about what Reiki may bring to your own life. If you have any questions or wish to discuss Reiki further, I invite you to reach out and connect with me, I sincerely look forward to hearing from you.
Warmest,
