The teacher at Komyo ReikiDo Melb is Sally Wain, a highly experienced and certified Komyo ReikiDo Teacher. Sally has been practising Reiki since 2006, immersing herself in its principles and techniques over the years. She initially became a Western Reiki Teacher in 2007, dedicating her time to learning and teaching the Western variant of Reiki. However, as she delved deeper into the practice, she found that the Western Reiki system did not fully align with her personal beliefs and teaching style, prompting her to seek an alternative path that resonated more with her values. In 2012, her journey took a pivotal turn when she attended a Komyo ReikiDo (KRD) Shinpiden seminar. The teachings and philosophy presented in this seminar deeply resonated with her, igniting a profound connection and a sense of alignment with her own ideals. Inspired and moved by this experience, she decided to fully embrace the more traditional Japanese Reiki system, choosing to devote her efforts to teaching and promoting this authentic practice at Komyo ReikiDo Melbourne.
She went on to co-host Hyakuten Inamoto, the founder of Komyo ReikiDo in Sydney 2015, then hosted him in Melbourne in 2017 and 2023. She was host of the Kyoto Shinpiden tour in 2024. Sally became the Komyo ReikiDo Australian and New Zealand representative for Hyakuten Inamoto in 2015. Sally hosts the monthly online gatherings with Inamoto Sensei for the KRD community in the Australasian area and the Americas. She is one of the senior teachers in the Komyo ReikiDo International community.

Sally is committed to providing her students with a genuine and enriching experience through her authentic Japanese Reiki courses and treatments. She ensures that each individual who participates in her classes or receives treatments can fully experience the myriad benefits of this wonderful healing practice for mind and body.
