Rika Saruhashi

(1959 – Okinawa, Japan)

Rika Saruhashi is a Japanese Reiki master who has been living in Spain for over thirty years. She met master Hiroshi Doi (Ashiya, Japan) in 1999, during a trip to Japan to study the situation of Reiki in its country of origin.

What she learned on that visit moved and inspired her. Although Reiki had helped and healed her greatly since she learned it in Spain in 1996, she finally felt that she had found the missing piece in what she already knew.

Since then, a series of events in her life quickly led her to work as an interpreter, translator, and organizer of international events to connect the West with Japan.

After completing her mission as one of the organizers of the historic Usui Reiki Ryoho Centenary, held in Osaka in April 2023, she now devotes her time to teaching Reiki seminars, workshops, and practices, while also translating and editing books on Reiki and Japanese culture.
