“I HIGHLY recommend studying Jikiden Reiki with the wonderful Anja! Quite honestly, this course is life-changing. The teachings are beautifully simple, deeply sacred, and have opened me to a sense of possibility I didn’t know existed. As a mother, I feel profoundly supported by the universe.
Since I’ve been practising on my family, the results have been nothing short of miraculous. My daughter’s growing pains—gone. My partner’s back pain—gone. An issue I’d been dealing with myself for over a month with no relief—also gone. It’s honestly phenomenal.

Learning Jikiden Reiki has empowered me in ways I never expected. I now feel confident supporting my children through first-aid needs, sickness, anxiety, aches & pains and emotional dysregulation—Reiki truly helps with it all. How empowering is that? I’m also looking forward to utilising Reiki during the upcoming birth of my fifth child, and to support myself gently and powerfully in the postpartum period.

Anja is immensely knowledgeable and shares her wisdom with such clarity, warmth, and practical guidance that I can use every day in my family life. I truly pray that more people discover this beautiful practice. The world would be a very different place if they did.” Hannah

"Taking the Jikiden Reiki (Shoden) course with Anja was a beautiful experience. Her kindness, openness, and understanding created a safe and welcoming space for learning. The training was well-paced and covered the history and lineage of Reiki, which helped me appreciate its sacred roots. There was lots of opportunity to practice Reiki, understand how it works, recognize sensations, and ask all the questions that came to mind. Reiki is easy to learn but goes much deeper than expected—it teaches valuable life lessons and is a tool that truly empowers. As a mother, I now feel more confident in supporting my children through stress and illness, helping boost their natural healing and calm their nervous systems. My children feel more and more confident in their own bodies healing abilities and learn to trust on that. This course had such a positive impact on me and my families’ daily life, and I’m so grateful to Anja for guiding us with such care, wisdom, knowledge, and experience.“ Janneke

“Anja’s Reiki sessions have been an absolute balm for my nervous system. Her calm, grounded presence feels like an anchor. This commitment to self care is exactly what I needed as I navigate the beautiful chaos of motherhood on my own. Between the waves of toddler emotions and the constant pull to stay regulated and present, it’s easy to lose my center.

Each session with Anja brings me back to myself, helping me release the tension and restore balance. I leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more capable of showing up for my child and myself with gentleness and grace. Her work is truly a gift.” Christine

Yesterday at the women’s choir where we connect with our ancestral roots and heal through singing songs together our leader Jen guided us through a gratitude meditation, as the energy of Thanksgiving was still present.

After I visualized one of my ancestors and their strength that is also alive in me I was asked to bring the attention to myself and what I am grateful for in me.

In that moment I realized in a new way that I’m an ancestor. There have been many times where I didn’t feel strong, where I wished I was already more resilient after all these years of healing, healing the impact of trauma from my family lineage, the impact of war and fear that I feel deeply in my bones, as I carry more than is mine.

In that moment I could feel this strength in me and the gratitude for being able to do my healing work in such a profound way I do…do what my ancestors were not able to do. I’m grateful for my courage, openess, strong will and determination to free myself, my children and my grandchildren…as much as I am able to in my life time. I hope one day they will talk about me and be proud of me. ♥️

Thank you Jen for your moving share yesterday and for this wonderful gift of creating healing in community. ♥️

From my heart to yours
Anja

We don't need to run. We don't have to spend more energy when we already feel tired and depleted. We just need to walk.

This graphic says it all! Walk!

“I began working intensively with Anja in May, and since then, my life has been completely transformed. When we first connected, I was struggling deeply—mentally, emotionally, and physically. I was dealing with anxiety, self-doubt, stress, grief, and chronic sciatica pain that felt like it would never go away. I had recently found out I was pregnant with my fifth baby—joyful news, but overwhelming at the time, especially as I had only just started my healing journey.

From the moment I began receiving intensive Reiki sessions with Anja, everything started to shift. Healing is not linear, and at times difficult emotions rose to the surface, but Anja’s skill and compassion guided me through those moments. On the other side, I emerged feeling like a completely different person. My children noticed the change in me, and home life became lighter, more peaceful, and full of joy. I could see firsthand how healing from within ripples out to everyone around you.

Physically, my pain began to ease until, one day, I realized my chronic pain had simply vanished. This has been life-changing for my daily well-being—living without that constant heaviness allows me to be more open, present, and receptive to the blessings in my life. My body feels strong again, and I now move through this pregnancy with confidence and joy.”

It is my heartfelt desire to empower mothers bring healing, wholeness, joy and peace into their own hearts and to their families.

What is the ideal time for first time moms to learn Reiki?

Before or during pregnancy. 🌸🙏🏻✨Because as soon as your baby has arrived it’s difficult to participate in a training - it’s a real hurdle for moms with small children.

Your benefits of learning Jikiden Reiki.

Before birth:
✨ You can give Reiki to your unborn child to support your bonding and a healthy development
✨ It’s a beautiful and simple way to connect and care for your baby
✨You can give Reiki to yourself when you feel stressed, anxious or have pain
✨ Giving Reiki to yourself also relaxes your baby

After birth:
✨ You can support your own recovery from birth
✨ You can do Reiki for your baby to help with adjustment, support bonding, for soothing and sleeping
✨…

And here is why I recommend for your partner to learn Jikiden Reiki as well:
✨ He can support you through all stages of your early motherhood journey - pregnancy, birth and postpartum (and onwards)
✨ To support you with pain, discomfort, anxiety, stress and worries
✨ To feel more confident himself as he feels good about being able to help you (anywhere)
✨ During your birth process he can support you to relax, connect with your body and to feel safe - which is essential for a successful natural birth and bonding experience
✨ Especially supportive for births in hospitals, as it is an unfamiliar environment which can be stressful
✨ Postpartum - he can support you with your overall physical recovery including birth injuries, sleep & emotional balance
✨…

You don’t need a massage table, you don’t need a special ritual. You just put your hands on the body. Either when you snuggle on the sofa or you lay in bed, or sit on a chair. It’s really simple. That’s Jikiden Reiki. It’s a home remedy. 🙏🏻🌊🌳☀️

A question I have been asked a few times working as a nanny. Because beside the mom I seem to be the only one who is able to put the baby to sleep. ☺️

My answer is short: “Reiki.” ☺️🙏🏻✨

I have always been lucky to support family’s who were open and welcoming Reiki as part of my child care. And it has not only served the little one and the parents but also me.

Reiki is very soothing and relaxing for babies and makes them feel safe. So when I see the first cues of tiredness, I take them in the carrier, walk around slowly, sing a lullaby and put one hand on the head and the other on the back for Reiki. It’s always really sweet to see them fully surrender and relax to this peaceful and calm energy of Reiki.

And it gives me so much confidence in my child minding to know that I can comfort them and they feel safe.

Reiki is especially beneficial to moms, to anyone in and outside of families who look after children, for birth workers and doulas.

If you want to experience or learn Jikiden Reiki here are your options.

I offered Reiki to a mom who was in a lot of distress. She responded that she might take the offer when she has made it through her crisis and feels better again.

Do you recognize yourself?

When a lack of support has already been a pattern in our maternal lineage or we have not received sufficient support as a child, it can shape us to a woman that continues to be the “maid-of-all-work” carrying all the mental load for her children and family.

It is the lack of female role models and the lack of the experience receiving support when we need it that promotes this continued pattern of managing it all alone, not even being aware of it and burn ourself out.

Because asking for help is so difficult. Maybe we judge ourselves for being weak if we did, or we just don’t know how. Maybe there is shame around it. Maybe we think we should be able to do it all on our own and just can’t open ourselves up to receive (yet). Or we are simply not aware and in survival.

In the idea to just push through and then we can focus on healing we unconsciously continue to sacrifice ourselves…our health and wellbeing, our presence and connection with our children and partner, and ultimately our own life quality.

Reiki is there for you to support and strengthen you through and finding your way out of that crisis, and to reconnect with yourself through the experience of deep relaxation, nurturing, inner peace, release and realignment.

My clients report that the world always looks brighter after their Reiki session and they feel relieved, more ressourced and hopeful.

Even in challenging times we can experience moments of peace, light and hope.

Now imagine you could learn Reiki and bring that source of peace, connection and emotional regulation in your every day life, beginning your healing journey together with other moms.

I often hear people say that you can’t really prepare for motherhood.

I don’t agree with that.

Of course, you don’t know how this experience and transformation will exactly change you. But there are many things we know of what to expect and that we can prepare for.

Here are 3:

1. Strong & healthy body: Motherhood asks a lot from your body, from nourishing another tiny human in your womb to sleep deprivation, constant demand and nursing.

The better your physical health the better the conditions to conceive, to maintain a healthy pregnancy, for a successful natural birth, postpartum recovery and managing stress.

2. Emotional healing: Often people start their healing journey when they have become parents because they run into overwhelm with raising their children, not knowing how to deal with strong emotions, conflicts and difficult situations.

Did you know that your child will inevitably trigger you in places that are still unresolved within you, places where you are still wounded but not aware of? Prioritizing your emotional healing, best before you become a mother, allows you to be more aware of what is happening in you, to gain more control of how you can respond in a healthy way. To me one of the most important aspects of preparing for motherhood because when your child is there, so much is going on for you, so much demand on you physically and emotionally already, it’s good when you have already achieved some level of emotional stability.

3. Education about physiological birth: When we give the responsibility for our birth experience entirely in the hands of other people, we do not fully show up for ourselves and our child. We are easily manipulated, insecure, might make choices that unintentionally can be harmful and we might regret later…just because we don’t know. It is your body, your child, your birth. Reconnecting, building a loving relationship with your body, educating yourself about physiological birth and choosing the right place and people for your birth makes you strong for you and your baby.

Would you agree that you can prepare for motherhood? How was it for you?

I’m curious about your opinion.

From my heart to yours
Anja

You are more powerful than you think.

There might be many moments where you don’t feel in control, when life just seem to happen to you and even though you give your best it still never feels good enough.

The inner and outer chatter from society can become so loud that you can’t even hear your own inner voice anymore. All the ‘shoulds’ of how to be to be a perfect mother can put you under immense pressure. It can literally burn you out.

What if this image that you are chasing (and many mothers around you) is not realistic? What if this actually doesn’t relate to any mother’s real life and experience?

At least that’s what I hear and see all the time. Moms under immense pressure to perform, having to know everything, doing everything right, having to have endless energy, always having to be in control, calm and balanced, and if there is something going wrong they even carry that guilt as well.

This is not an image of a human being. It’s an illusion. You don’t need to chase this anymore, no woman need to.

Instead empower yourself.

Prioritize your wellbeing and self development to get more in control, educate yourself on topics that honour your health, learn skills that give you more confidence in parenting and caring for your family’s health and wellbeing, become part of a like minded community. You can reconnect with yourself…one step at a time. But only you can make this change.

Learning Jikiden Reiki together with other moms who support each other in their journey towards self empowerment is one skill you can easily achieve.
