Our Board
Carol Macrae
Director (Chair)
Dubbo, NSW
What do you bring to Reiki Australia?
I bring 25 years of experience teaching and using Usui Reiki and energy medicine to heal my own life, and the lives of my family, friends, students and clients. I am also a Clinical and 5-PATH Hypnotherapist, a Komyo ReikiDo Master, a Touch For Health Kinesiology Practitioner, and have studied several other forms of energy medicine, including Theta Healing. I originally trained as a Registered Nurse, and also owned and operated several fitness centres, including teaching Tai Chi and Yoga for more than 20 years.
Why did you get involved with Reiki Australia?
I joined Reiki Australia in 2011 as I was looking for an organisation that aligned with my values, to help spread knowledge and gain recognition for Reiki as a healing modality in the wider community.
I have seen the power of Reiki first hand when I was able to heal badly damaged knees healing my bone cancer and recovering from a double mastectomy and reconstruction. I love Reiki Australia. Together we can make a difference!
Who is the real Carol?
First and foremost I am a mother and grandmother. Family is everything. We have 3 adult children, are blessed to be raising our 6 year old granddaughter and have raised one grandson and helped raise another. Life is busy! I love to spend time with the kids baking, and teaching them life skills.
I meditate, play guitar, was a singer in a band with my husband for 15 years, and also have a black belt in Taekwondo. I love to do the super-sudoku on the weekends, enjoy the outdoors and my herb garden, and have a very busy Hypnotherapy and Reiki practice. Every spare moment is spent growing and nurturing my soul, learning more so I can help others.
I believe that there is nothing we cannot do if we put out mind to it. There are no obstacles, only opportunities to overcome and grow our soul.

Maja Jadrijevic
Director (Deputy Chair)
Essendon, Victoria
What do you bring to Reiki Australia?
I bring over two decades of living Reiki—not only as a practitioner and teacher, but as someone who has let this practice shape how I move through the world. Reiki is woven through every part of my life: in how I parent, listen, create space, and connect with others.
I bring humility, presence, and care. I know how to hold space without trying to fix or force. I also bring a deep commitment with integrity and honesty. I honour both tradition and evolution.
And I bring a love of community. Reiki Australia is a meeting place of many lineages and paths. What unites us is our devotion to this work. I want to help nourish that shared space with steadiness, warmth, and respect for the diversity of the Reiki journey.
Why did you get involved with Reiki Australia?
Reiki has changed my life and the lives of so many around me. But it’s not just about healing—it’s about remembering who we are and what we’re capable of.
I was drawn to Reiki Australia because I saw an opportunity to be part of a collective that honours the many lineages and expressions of Reiki, while protecting its depth and essence. A place that supports practitioners, raises the visibility of Reiki as a powerful and accessible healing art, and holds the practice with integrity.
I wanted to serve the community in a deeper way—beyond my own classes and sessions—and help ensure that Reiki continues to be respected, shared with heart, and passed on with care and truth.
Who is the real Maja?
I’m a mum who cheers at soccer games and packs snacks for the car. I love cooking and feeding people—it’s one of my greatest joys. I love to move—rollerblading, walking with my cavoodle Bruno, dancing in the kitchen, and practicing yoga in a way that feels nourishing and connected. I also teach yoga, and it’s one of the ways I support others in coming home to themselves—through breath, movement, and deep listening.
I laugh easily, cry when I need to, and find meaning in both the quiet and chaotic moments. I’m someone who leads with heart. I value honesty, humility, and presence. I care about connection and living in a way that feels real and aligned.
Above all, I’m human—flawed, wholehearted, and always learning.

Leonie Mahon
Director (Secretary) + PD Facilitator
Niagara Park, NSW
What do you bring to Reiki Australia?
My background is Teaching & Leading and I feel very humbled by the honour bestowed upon me as a Reiki Master. I am passionate about continuing to grow the Reiki Australia community by supporting and encouraging others on their Reiki journey. I have been running my own small business for the last 5 years and I am excited to offer my knowledge and experience to Reiki Australia as a Director.

Director (Marketing)

I am currently working in a rural community and based in Orange, Central West in New South Wales. I travel back to Sydney to visit my children, although we have the occasional adventure in the Blue Mountains.
What do you bring to Reiki Australia?
I have a holistic and spiritual background grounded in business and marketing, a mix of two worlds. I have worked for large organisations and run my own business, so I understand the intricacies and dynamics of a non-profit organization. Most importantly, I have long had a passion for helping others on their journey, and it is this aspect I love to bring to life in others.
Why did you get involved with Reiki Australia?
The simplest answer is to give and be of service to others. My spiritual name is Vanamali, and the essence of that is to be of service, the offering of the garland of flowers in the spirit of love and compassion to others. This vital aspect guides my life and my decisions when collaborating with others.
Who is the real Debra?
There is no hidden me! I work with compassion and love in service to the universe and the planet. However, I do have many roles; I am a mum, a sister, a teacher, a practitioner, a provisional psychologist, and a counsellor. I love nature, chocolate, and coffee and recognise I need to look after myself first so I can then look after others.

Meagan Roberts
Director
Naremburn, NSW
What do you bring to Reiki Australia?
Although my journey into holistic wellness began only five years ago, Reiki arrived in my life at exactly the right moment—as a deeply personal path to healing and growth.
Before discovering Reiki, I built a career in Human Resources and, for the past eight years, worked in a boutique financial services firm. I bring to Reiki Australia a strong work ethic, a practical mindset, and a systematic approach to projects. I find great satisfaction in seeing tasks through to completion—tidy endings bring me peace.
I offer Reiki Australia a grounded, heart-led approach: a blend of practical wisdom and spiritual sensitivity. I take joy in bringing structure to vision, in completing what I start, and in holding space for both the seen and unseen aspects of our shared work.
Why did you get involved with Reiki Australia?
I joined Reiki Australia to become part of a supportive, like-minded community. I also saw accreditation as a way to strengthen the professional foundation of my Reiki practice.
I’m passionate about helping Reiki grow into a widely respected and accessible healing modality across Australia. Being involved with Reiki Australia allows me to contribute meaningfully to that collective vision.
Who is the real Meagan?
At heart, I crave a simple, grounded life—being of service, doing an honest day’s work, and nurturing my relationships with my family and closest friends. (I may have watched a few too many episodes of Little House on the Prairie as a child!)
Together with my husband Ian, I’m a proud parent to three adult sons and two scruffy, loveable Border Terriers. Raising our boys has been one of my life’s greatest gifts.
When I’m not working in my small Reiki practice, I love immersing myself in sound healing—especially using Himalayan singing bowls—and spending time in nature. Glamping adventures with Ian are among my favourite ways to recharge. Relative solitude in the mountains or the beautiful Australian outback makes my heart sing.

Olga Duque
Director
Brisbane, Qld
What do you bring to Reiki Australia?
I bring 18 years of experience as a passionate Reiki enthusiast and a committed practitioner who lives by Reiki’s guiding principles and values. My professional background in education, in addition to a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership, has empowered me with the confidence and clarity to establish and run my own Reiki practice. This journey has not only deepened my own spiritual path but has also enabled me to share Reiki with others in a grounded, professional, and heart-led way, both through one-on-one sessions and by mentoring and teaching Reiki students.
As a member of Reiki Australia, I bring a strong dedication to the integrity of the Reiki tradition, along with the communication skills, leadership qualities, and community-mindedness developed through my years in education. I value professional standards, reflective practice, and spiritual growth, and I’m passionate about contributing to a larger movement that honours Reiki as both a healing art and a way of life.
My intention is to be of service, supporting the association’s mission by upholding ethical practice, fostering meaningful connections within the Reiki community, and advocating for Reiki’s recognition and integration within the broader wellness and health landscape in Australia.
Why did you get involved with Reiki Australia?
I joined Reiki Australia to align myself with a community that values integrity, professionalism, and the sacred tradition of Reiki. Being part of Reiki Australia allows me to connect with like-minded practitioners, stay informed about best practices, and continue growing both personally and professionally. I believe in the importance of maintaining high ethical standards in my work, and being part of a reputable association reinforces that commitment. It also offers the opportunity to contribute to the broader recognition and respect of Reiki within the wellness and health sectors, while fostering a supportive environment where practitioners can learn from and uplift one another.
Who is the real Olga?
My faith and spirituality have always been a quiet yet steady presence in my life, gently shaped by my Catholic upbringing and a deep, abiding love for nature. Even as a child, I was drawn to moments of stillness, reflection, and prayer; simple practices that helped me feel connected to my higher self and to God. My ancestral roots trace back to the Indigenous Americas, where my paternal grandfather was a respected curandero (healer) in his small town, surrounded by the majestic Andean mountains of Antioquia, Colombia. Growing up in a family that honoured natural medicine and traditional healing methods has quietly influenced the path I now walk. These early experiences continue to shape my values, as I do my best to live with integrity, compassion, and kindness. Above all, I hold deep gratitude for the life I share with my family, my friends, and the simple blessings of each day.
