San Diego Reiki

Dr Maria is an amazing Reiki teacher and amazing soul. This class was phenomenal, I got everything down pat. She teaches in a way that it really sinks in and with plenty of practice you absorb the teachings. She is friendly, caring and on a mission to bring healing to our world on a deeper and more profound level then any western healing could ever do. I am so appreciative to have taken part in this course as I have always been a natural healer, I knew becoming a traditional Reiki practitioner would completely equip me to make a huge impact within my practice, the community and the Gods willing world wide. Thank you Dr Maria for all you do!

I took the Shoden and Okuden seminar here. If you are looking for the real Reiki this is the place to go! Dr. Danilychev is so knowledgeable and patient. I never knew Reiki was this powerful!

It works! Shin Shin Kaizen Usui Reiki Ryoho: Usui Reiki Treatment to Improve Body and Mind. The traditional Japanese body and mind healing art is dutifully preserved and wonderfully taught by Dr. Maria Danilychev, MD, Jikiden (direct instructor lineage) Reiki practitioner & Shihan (Master Instructor). The first and second levels of practitioner training, Shoden and Okuden, conducted over consecutive weekends with multiple Reiju (attunement) sessions assure the would be Reiki practitioner of success.

Dr. Danilychev’s extensive medical experience effectively ‘won me over’ to even try Reiki. The physical and mental improvements I have experienced are remarkable. I don’t impress easily.

This was such a wonderful experience. I highly recommend doing reiki here. Dr. Danilychev is kind, intuitive, and a good listener. I’m so glad she had a space open up in her schedule for me! We will definitely be back to see her when we are in town.

Dr. Maria saved my life, in more ways than just one. I knew her before she introduced me to Reiki and she is probably the most genuine, pure-hearted and most loving person I've ever met in my life (without exaggerating). The reason why I wanted to learn Reiki and pursue it further was because of her. I believe it makes a great deal of sense learning Reiki from such a compassionate person.

Dr. Maria had taught me so much about Jikiden Reiki and does an EXTREMELY good job at teaching the foundation and lineage of Reiki based on Mikao Usui (the original founder of Reiki). She eventually asked if I wanted to become a Reiki practitioner, and even flew to Japan with me to be there for me while I got my certification to be a Shihan-Kaku! (Assistant level Reiki teacher)

To me, Dr. Maria is more than just a teacher, but a dear friend I will hold in my heart for the rest of my life. She is not only the best teacher I've ever had in my life, but the best friend I will have in my lifetime. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Reiki, or even if you need a good friend in your life thank you Dr. Maria.for everything!

I have been in practice for over 15 years as a certified Reiki practitioner in a Western lineage, and itching to seek out the original Japanese lineage for the past few years. Dr. Danilychev appeared on my Google search, and I travelled to see her! I've never had a Reiki session by Dr. Danilychev, but I can speak to her expertise and demeanor as she relates to Reiki training. Her authenticity, professionalism and experience in Jikiden Reiki is simply wonderful and beautiful.

Dr. Danilychev provided a highly informative workshop for Shoden and Okuden training. She demonstrated a lot of patience answering the multitude of questions I had throughout the workshop, careful to delineate the differences between my old lineage and Jikiden Reiki. This was important for me to understand so I didn't mix the two lineages and so I could appreciate the differences. Dr. Danilychev is very down to earth, never condescending or judgmental yet also very honest about expressing her opinions about certain topics we discuss. Dr. Danilychev has a unique take on Reiki being not only a Reiki shihan, but also a medical doctor - a perfect blend of intellect between the sciences and an energy healing art. Dr. Danilychev brings not only a sophistication to her training, but also exudes Reiki in her persona!

Coming from a Western lineage, it was beautiful to learn the original Japanese lineage. Jikiden Reiki certainly radiates with a different quality energy. I don't think one is better than the other, there is something worth appreciating in both lineages. The intricacies of traditional Japanese art, however, is seen in Jikiden Reiki, which has been lost in the Western lineages. I learned that the Japanese culture in general has been removed to some extent in the Western lineages and has evolved to something of its own. The Jikiden Reiki Kenkyukai (institute) in Japan has vetted its knowledge by going to the source and confirming its information, so you know this is the original lineage closest to Mikao Usui sensei. The spiritual component of Jikiden Reiki is not consistently passed on in the Western lineages, and this matters so much to Reiki practitioners whether they know it or not. Pursuing Jikiden Reiki training has been not only eye-opening for its style and techniques, but also has contributed much to my appreciation and cultural sensitivity for Japanese culture. As a Reiki practitioner coming from a Western lineage, I strongly recommend learning Jikiden Reiki with Dr. Danilychev!

Wow! A must try! Dr. Danilychev, technique was so relaxing and peaceful! I felt like after receiving Reiki all of my stress and pain in my body disappeared.l felt grounded, and I slept really good that night.
Thank you Dr Danilychev for the experience.

Incredible in-depth training from Dr. Danilychev! I'm so glad I learned the original Japanese lineage as now everything makes more sense. It's a great addition to my knowledge as a oriental medicine practitioner and I'm already seeing great results with my patients!

Dr. Danilychev is truly an amazing Reiki Master! She is very knowledgeable and skilled. She is also one of the most caring and empathetic people I have met. The Reiki sessions I have received have been crucial in my recovery from long COVID, both physically and mentally. I felt significant improvement since the first session, and it has helped speed my healing process over time. It is one of the few things that gave me hope and kept my spirits up during this very difficult time. It has also been one of the most relaxing and euphoric experiences. I highly recommend this to anyone seeking help healing in any aspect of their lives!

I have only gone to one session and have made more progress from it than I have with the numerous other things I have tried so far. Reiki can not only heal the mind and body, but also the spirit and heart. Dr. Maria Danilychev provides a wonderful service. Please give it a chance.

I know from my first visit that Dr. Maria Danilychev is a true healer and is highly attuned to her patient’s wellness. After a car accident, I went to see Dr. Danilychev for some spiritual healing through Reiki. It was simply amazing and not like anything I have felt before. She truly has a gift. I will definitely be going back for more Reiki sessions. And I highly highly highly recommend Dr. Danilychez for Reiki healing.
