Jikiden Reiki — Traditional Japanese Energy Healing

Stressed? Aching?
There is Another Way.

Everyday stress. Confusion. Lack of meaning. Muscle aches. Menstrual cramps. Reiki addresses all of it.

Reiki is a Japanese energy technique that channels multiversal energy to heal — an intelligent energy that goes exactly where it is needed. Whether you are carrying the weight of chronic stress, searching for clarity and purpose, managing physical pain, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, Reiki meets you there.

Sessions are conducted seated in a chair with no touch required. No prior training, no preparation, no experience necessary — only an open mind and a willingness to receive. Most people leave feeling a peace they did not know was still available to them.

The Practice

What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced "ray-key") is a Japanese healing art rooted in the Jikiden tradition — the most direct and unaltered lineage of Reiki as it was originally taught in Japan. The word combines Rei (universal wisdom) and Ki (life energy) — the same vital force known as chi in Chinese medicine and prana in Ayurveda.

What makes Reiki unique is its intelligence. Unlike meditation or chi kung, where you work to generate and circulate energy yourself, Reiki arrives as an external, responsive force — drawn through the practitioner and delivered precisely where the body needs it most. It doesn't follow instruction. It simply knows.

Many people first find their way to Reiki through meditation, yoga, or chi kung. As those practices deepen, the awareness of ki moving through the body becomes impossible to ignore — and with it, the appetite for something more. Reiki is that next step: deeper, more direct, and profoundly restorative.

Your Session

What to Expect

🪑

Fully Clothed & Seated

Sessions are conducted with you comfortably seated in a chair — no need to lie down or remove clothing. Simply wear loose, comfortable attire and arrive ready to relax.

🤲

No Touch Required

Jikiden Reiki sessions are non-contact — the practitioner works with hands hovering above the body, never touching. Many clients report sensations of warmth, tingling, or waves of deep relaxation.

⏱

30–45 Minute Sessions

Sessions run 30 to 45 minutes. Arrive a few minutes early for your first visit. Afterward, drinking water and resting is encouraged to support the integration process.

🌿

Zero Preparation Needed

No prior experience with Reiki, energy work, meditation, or any healing practice is required. You do not need to believe in it for it to work. Come exactly as you are.

🔇

A Quiet, Sacred Space

Sessions take place in a calm, peaceful environment. Soft music or silence supports the healing atmosphere. Your comfort and sense of safety are the highest priority throughout.

💬

Post-Session Check-In

After your session, there's space to share your experience and ask any questions. Every person's response to Reiki is unique — Brett will guide you with care.

Brett Jaye

My path to Reiki was not linear — I came to Reiki through meditation and yoga, and a desire to find meaning and connectedness. From my very first session, something shifted: a recognition that there is something a lot bigger than us, and yet at the same time something that is part of us. This brought an amazing sense of peace, groundedness, and an appreciation for so many things often overlooked in our hectic day-to-day lives.

I searched for instructors and was able to complete my Reiki II and Reiki III formal certifications under Akiko Hoshihara — a Japanese Reiki master trained in the Jikiden lineage, the most direct and unaltered transmission of Reiki as it was originally practiced in Japan.

Over the years, the work has expanded to encompass study across energy healing, spirituality, and the nature of consciousness — always in service of one goal: helping people reconnect with themselves, find relief from what is weighing on them, and remember that wholeness is not something to be achieved, but something already present, waiting to be uncovered.

Equine & Animal Reiki

Reiki for Horses

Brett specializes in Reiki for horses, having trained in animal Reiki at a horse ranch in Malibu, California. Horses are sensitive, perceptive animals, and learning to offer Reiki on their terms shaped Brett's patient, unhurried approach.

Brett works with racing stables, breeding farms, show barns, and private owners, supporting equine athletes through the demands of training and competition, travel and layups, foaling, recovery, and retirement. Because Jikiden Reiki works without touch, the horse stays free to move, approach, or step away at any time.

Reiki is also available for dogs, cats, and other companion animals.

🐎 Specializing in Horses

Racehorses, broodmares, stallions, sport and show horses, and much-loved retirees. Sessions take place in the stall, paddock, or wherever the horse is most at ease.

✈️ Available to Travel

Brett travels to farms, training centers, and racing and breeding facilities, and can stay on-site for extended engagements of a week or more when a horse needs consistent, ongoing support.

🐾 The Animal Leads

No animal is ever held or restrained. Brett works alongside owners, trainers, and grooms, following the animal's comfort and the barn's routine.

Animal Reiki is a complementary practice and is not a substitute for veterinary care. Please continue to follow your veterinarian's guidance.

Performance & Recovery

Reiki for Athletes

Training hard asks a lot of the body and the mind. Reiki offers athletes a deeply restful reset: a quiet half hour that helps the nervous system settle, so recovery and focus have room to happen. Sessions are seated, fully clothed, and no-touch, so they fit easily into a training day or before an event.

🌙

Recovery & Rest

Support for deep relaxation between hard sessions, after competition, and during heavy training blocks, when quality rest matters most.

🎯

Focus Before Competition

A calm, grounded mind before race day, game day, or a big event. Many athletes use Reiki to quiet nerves and settle into the moment.

🔄

Alongside Your Care Team

Reiki complements the work of coaches, trainers, and physical therapists. Brett can also travel to training facilities and events for individuals and teams.
