Mari Okazaki

Jikiden Reiki Dai Shihan

Mari is originally from Japan and spent the past 25 years living in Chilliwack, BC, Canada. Today she divides her time between the Goto Islands in Japan and Chilliwack. A Jikiden Reiki® Dai Shihan (senior teacher) recognized by the Jikiden Reiki® Institute, Mari has been both teaching and offering Reiki since 2006. She loves sharing Reiki not only as a gentle, effective home therapy, but also as a way to connect with the heart of Japanese culture. She regularly teaches Jikiden Reiki® Shoden and Okuden certification classes, and offers Shihankaku (assistant teacher) training upon request.

For more than a decade, Mari organized and translated Jikiden Reiki® seminars in Vancouver, and also traveled with Tadao Yamaguchi, head of the Jikiden Reiki Institute, to Halifax, Seattle, and San Francisco as his interpreter. During the pandemic, she felt deeply the importance of preserving Reiki in its home country of Japan. This calling brought her to the Goto Islands, where she has created a new base while continuing to support students and Reiki communities worldwide.
