Approach, Practice & Lineage
Within The Space is a professional Reiki practice led by Fiona Phillips, a Traditional Japanese Reiki Shihan (Master), shaped by many years of personal practice, working with clients and teaching Reiki. As a spiritual and healing practice, Fiona embodies Reiki with passion, dedication and integrity.
Fiona has trained extensively across multiple Reiki systems and lineages, including both Western and traditional Japanese approaches, and has been committed to uncovering and preserving the traditional spiritual and healing practices of Reiki through ongoing study, practice and teaching. Her practice is now predominantly informed by her training in Jikiden Reiki and study with the Arjava Reiki Institute. This depth of study and lived practice informs her work with clients and students.
In both her teaching and practice, Fiona draws upon traditional Reiki methods and inner teachings that are less widely known and practised within mainstream Reiki teaching today.

HEALING THROUGH REIKI
Throughout life we experience physical and emotional challenges, stress and change.
Reiki is a gentle and powerful natural healing practice that many people have found to support deep inner calm, balance and a greater sense of wholeness on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels.
To heal is to restore to wholeness... physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
WHAT IS REIKI?
Reiki is a Japanese healing art founded by Mikao Usui in Tokyo. It harnesses the Universal or vital life-force energy that creates and sustains all life. 'Rei' signifies Universal, vital, ethereal life force while 'KI' means energy
Various factors in life effect our cellular frequency, chi strength and flow, mental, physical, emotional and spiritual well-being.
For centuries, people have experienced Reiki as healing on many levels, by helping clearing stagnation, support the natural flow of energy and bringing our whole system towards a more balanced, optimal state.
On another level, Reiki has a mystical quality and through its connection, can help restore us back to our true, spiritual nature.
During a Reiki session, a Reiki Practitioner places their hands on your clothed body, allowing you to connect to the healing energy of Reiki while you rest deeply.
"Life leaves its mark, much like footprints on sand. Reiki works like an ocean's wave, gently rolling in and restoring the sand to its pristine state"
Reiki Master Helen Callanan

Fiona Phillips
EXPLORE...
A warm, heartfelt welcome to Within The Space.
Practicing Reiki is a Great Love of mine! It is truly a joy and privilege to do this work...to witness the transformations and changes that my clients and students experience through their Reiki journeys.
Over many years, I have explored and trained in a wide range of Reiki systems in search of a practice that retained the integrity of Reiki’s original teachings and allowed for genuine spiritual depth. Through this process, I came to understand that the majority of Reiki practised and taught worldwide, including many systems described as “Traditional” or “Japanese”, are in fact Westernised or otherwise modified forms of Reiki. In many cases, original healing and spiritual practices were removed or fundamentally altered, including core techniques, symbols and even Reiju, one of the most essential elements of the system.
LINEAGE AND TRADITIONS
My Reiki practice and the system I teach here in Melbourne is the Usui System of Natural Healing, and is a Japanese, non-Westernised traditional practice of Reiki.
My Reiki practice is informed by the teachings of both Jikiden Reiki and the Arjava Reiki Institutes.
JIKIDEN REIKI “Direct Teaching”
Jikiden Reiki is a traditional Japanese Reiki system developed by Chiyoko Yamaguchi, a direct student of Chujiro Hayashi, who was the last teacher trained by Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki.
Jikiden Reiki is based directly on Hayashi’s teachings and preserves his original spiritual and healing practices, including Reiju, traditional techniques and original symbols, exactly as they were taught in Japan, unchanged.
Founded in 2025 by Frank Arjava Petter following his retirement as Co-Principal of the Jikiden Reiki Institute, the Arjava Reiki Institute continues the teaching of Usui Reiki Ryōhō in its original form.
A direct student of Chiyoko Yamaguchi, Arjava also shares additional practices from the Usui Reiki Ryōhō Gakkai, offering rare insight into the wider spiritual context of Reiki. His decades of study, time living in Japan and close relationships with those closest to Reiki’s origins bring depth, inand reverence to his teaching.
MY PRACTICE AND TEACHING
My practice and teaching remain untouched by Western adaptation, retaining the depth, integrity and simplicity of Reiki as it was originally established by Mikao Usui.
The original form of Reiki as both a spiritual and healing practice has always resonated deeply with me, in both my personal and professional practice as well as in my teaching. I’m drawn to the simplicity and power of the traditional techniques, which allow Reiki to be experienced as it was originally intended: as a pathway to inner peace, health and happiness.
If you are seeking Reiki sessions or are interested in learning Reiki here in Melbourne, I invite you to explore this website to learn more about Reiki, its history, sessions and courses. If you have questions or wish to connect further, I invite you to reach out and connect with me, I sincerely look forward to hearing from you.
