What do you bring to Reiki Australia?
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.

Why did you get involved with Reiki Australia?
As a member I was very impressed with the association. I observed a high level of professionalism, support and guidance matched with an innovative and progressive outlook. These qualities are what I believe Reiki needs to expand into the broader population, mainstream healthcare settings and to be acknowledged for the incredible healing modality that it is.

Operations Team
Amy Squires
Operations Manager
Mosman, NSW
What do you bring to Reiki Australia?
I grew up with Reiki as the key to keeping our family happy and healthy. Having a background in Paramedicine I have a passion for helping others and while I still take interest in emergency services I have moved my focus to raising awareness of Reiki, its benefits and how others can get involved.

Why did you get involved with Reiki Australia?
When I moved to Australia, I immediately recognized that I didn’t have the support or like-minded Reiki folk. Shortly after, I began seeking out a Reiki organisation with a friendly community and who were motivated in increasing the awareness and benefits of Reiki. After a few months of research, I attended a Reiki Share in Newcastle, which was hosted by Reiki Australia Members. It was then that I decided that I would apply to join Reiki Australia. It has now been almost 4 years and I have created, and continue to create, beautiful friendships and have been enjoying being a part of the growing organisation!
