About Fiona Phillips |
Approach, Practice & Lineage
Within The Space is a professional Reiki practice in Melbourne, led by Fiona Phillips, a Traditional Japanese Reiki Shihan (Master) whose work is shaped by many years of personal practice, client work and teaching.
With extensive training across multiple Reiki systems and lineages, Fiona has dedicated herself to preserving and sharing the original spiritual and healing practices of Reiki through ongoing study, practice and teaching.
Her work is now predominantly informed by training in Jikiden Reiki ® and the Arjava Reiki Institutes, both of which honour the traditional system of Reiki in its original form (without any adaptation, Western or otherwise).
Fiona offers Reiki as a complementary practice to support wellbeing alongside appropriate healthcare and life supports. Sessions and courses are held with compassion, professionalism and integrity, drawing on traditional Japanese Reiki methods and teachings that are less commonly taught within mainstream Reiki today.
Lineage & Traditions
Jikiden Reiki ® (which means “Direct/Original Teachings) is a traditional Japanese Reiki system developed by Chiyoko Yamaguchi, a direct student of Chujiro Hayashi, who was trained by Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki.
The Arjava Reiki Institute, was founded by Frank Arjava Petter following his retirement as Co-Principal of the Jikiden Reiki Institute ®. Also a direct student of Chiyoko Yamaguchi, Arjava continues the teaching of traditional Japanese Reiki and its spiritual practices as well as additional practices from the Usui Reiki Ryōhō Gakkai.

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

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 of practice, study and teaching, Reiki has become not only a healing practice in my life, but also a deeply meaningful spiritual path. I have always been drawn to the depth, simplicity and power of the traditional Japanese system and the profound ways it can support healing, personal growth and inner transformation.
