Healing Land Reiki was founded in 2016 out of a deep respect for Reiki’s Japanese origins and a desire to provide clear, accurate guidance on its practice.
Living and teaching in Japan, we have experienced firsthand how powerful it is to study Reiki close to its source. Practicing near Mount Kurama, where Mikao Usui received the gift of Reiki, has shaped the way we teach - grounded, respectful, and rooted in tradition.
Over the years, working with students from over 30 countries, we have seen Reiki support people through personal transitions, professional growth, and times of crisis and transformation. It strengthens the connection between spirit, mind, and body in a quiet but lasting way.
Our main center is located in Kyoto, with an additional branch in Sendai City (Miyagi Prefecture). We offer in-person training in Japan as well as live online classes for international students.
Healing Land Reiki serves as the official representative of the International Center for Reiki Training for Karuna Reiki®︎ and Holy Fire®︎ Reiki in Japan. As Licensed Reiki Master Teachers (LRMTs), we maintain professional standards while honoring the traditional roots of Reiki.
Our purpose remains simple: to share Reiki responsibly, authentically, and with integrity — from Japan to the world.

I was born in Ukraine and moved to Japan when I was 18.
After the Soviet Union collapsed, my family and many others were not having the best of times. I remember when there wasn’t any food, traveling or going to restaurants. Such things felt like something that only happened on other planets.
One of the reasons I loved summer time in Ukraine was because we could grow and harvest our own organic fruits and vegetables. Apart of growing our own food, we would get water from a well. My family is still getting their water from that well today.
Being raised in such a natural environment and seeing my mother using her herbs for medicine and food, planted the seed of my interest in using herbs and natural living.
Because of the prohibitive high cost of attending university in Ukraine, I went to a technical school. I learned how to design and make shoes. So I always had my own custom-designed, hand made clothes and shoes.
I was so surprised that from all the places that are in the world, life brought me to Japan in 2003. Coming from a post-Soviet Union country to Japan was shocking on all levels! I am very grateful for all the life experiences in Ukraine and Japan. I believe that it was preparation for me that led me to Reiki in 2015.

Greetings! My name is Muniqui Muhammad (pronounced “Muh-knee-Kai”), and if you’re here, I believe you’ve been guided to connect with me. I celebrate you for following that inner guidance.
If you knew me as a child, you probably could have predicted that I would get into Reiki or another healing art. Growing up, I’ve always interested in helping people be the best they could be. As a child, I always found myself “working with people“ (at least that’s what I called it) and I found adult conversations on topics such as “self-improvement,” and “Building The Will” more interesting than playing with children my own age.
Cultural Immersion and Early Beginnings
While in the University, I studied abroad in Mexico from 1994 to 1995. I learned to speak Spanish fluently and experienced the beauty of its people and culture. That experience was a part of my lifelong passion for understanding different traditions and connecting with people.
In 1998, I moved to Japan to teach English to students of all ages. While teaching, I discovered my natural ability to guide and support people through life’s challenges, cd them find hope. It was during this time that Reiki entered my life.
