ABOUT REIKI SHIZEN
Hello!
I’m Susan Horiuchi, founder of Reiki Shizen. I'm a state-certified Reiki Master Teacher in the Usui Shiki Ryoho lineage and a certified meditation teacher. I've been a Reiki Practitioner since 2015 and opened Reiki Shizen summer of 2022. We offer Reiki services, classes, meditation, holistic coaching, wellness events/retreats, and healing circles in our lovely studio in Issaquah. Many services are offered virtually as well.
At Reiki Shizen, we're committed to serving the highest quality of care to our clients by providing a holistic approach to wellness and healing through the practice of Reiki and meditation. Combined with our learning and coaching programs, we aspire to empower individuals to access their own inner guidance, wisdom, and healing abilities. We look forward to sharing these amazing healing arts with you!
My Story
My healing journey began in the mid-1980s, when personal health issues prompted me to explore alternative medicine. Through this process, I became a devoted student and patient of diverse natural healing practices and studies. During this time, I also expanded my physical, mental, and energetic health by attending countless workshops on qi gong and various martial arts styles under grandmasters, masters, and teachers from around the world. For nearly a decade, I studied Wing Chun and attained assistant instructor certification.
Today, I enjoy a daily practice of self-Reiki, meditation, and gentle yoga. I am incredibly grateful to have learned (and continue to learn!) such empowering disciplines and wisdom, and incorporate these amazing tools into my practice and teaching.
The Japanese word Reiki translates to "universal energy", and Shizen translates to "nature" or "a natural state." I'm inspired by the miracles of nature and its omnipresence offering gentle reminders of the present moment and our interconnectedness. It is through this connection that we can embody our wholeness and true selves.
Reiki Shizen represents a culmination of many years of unfolding growth and development. As a dedicated practitioner and teacher, it is my goal to share the transformative benefits of Reiki and meditation by offering personalized services, classes, events, and healing circles to help individuals unfold to a natural state of optimal health and well-being. We can do this!
“I was not in charge, yet life continued to unfold as if it knew just what it was doing.”
