Heal through Reiki with Makiko at Rayki School

Makiko, teacher and healer at Rayki School, believes in a one-on-one approach with her clients. She explains, “Every being is special, unique and divine. It takes time and needs special attention.” This is a primary reason why her offerings are broad and deep, including Reiki, Soul Reading, Craniosacral work and Quantum Healing meditation. She also offers intensive healing retreats throughout the year for those who are ready for the higher vibrational healing, including one that is scheduled for the end of this year.

A unique aspect of her healing technique is to combine modern science with Eastern healing modalities. Makiko has an extensive science background as well as spiritual roots. Born in Japan, she was spiritually guided by her grandmother who practiced reiki. She explains, “I show the energetic transformation using a technology for those who need that type of information. Others trust their feelings and sensation as biofeedback.” The more tools you have, the more successful your healing journey will be.

Makiko studied Biomedical Sciences at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and cancer biology in various institutions including Johns Hopkins University and Meiji University in Japan. She possesses an innate ability to perceive energy from chakras and tune into the innate rhythmic vibrations of life. With this accumulated knowledge, she continues to explore how the human body and mind are interconnected, and how to maintain perfect harmony to stay young and healthy. Her focus is to spread her knowledge and share how every person can utilize this innate tool to reduce stress and ignite their power within.

Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
