Kathy Araki

Kathy Araki was initiated by Hawayo Takata at the age of 17 years old with her siblings, shortly after her parents had met Takata Sensei and become initiated in Reiki. Reiki made an immediate impression and impact in Kathy's life. She became interested in holistic medicine and health, moving towards an eventual practice of soft tissue medicine through massage, Reiki and other manual and energetic modalities. A couple of years before his passing, her father, George, initiated her as a master. He was a master of HawayoTakata and was committed to the research of Reiki and other healing modalities. Kathy carries a quiet and steady energy that comes from her Japanese American background as well as her deep caring for human beings and the earth.
