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.

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. 

Why did you get involved with Reiki Australia?

I became involved with Reiki Australia because it is important to me to see the profile of Reiki in Australia lifted. I imagine the day when nearly everyone knows what Reiki is and enjoys the benefits of its healing.

Debra Fidler
Director (Marketing)

Orange, NSW

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.

I recently retired from the position as Chair for Reiki Australia after my 3 year term and understand the commitment needed to run our Association, so continue to work in this role. I bring a strong commitment and passion for Reiki and as a Clinical Nutritionist, to the Natural Health industry as a whole.  It’s very important to me to encourage the advancement and recognition of Reiki within the wider community.  In this position I aim to bring fresh ideas, perspectives and work to support the team in propelling the association forward.
