Olaf Böhm:
Olaf Böhm became a Reiki practitioner in 2003 while in India. In 2008, he attained the title of Gendai Reiki Ho Reiki Master under the guidance of Doi Hiroshi Sensei and also became a Komyo Reiki Kai teacher (now Komyo ReikiDo) with Inamoto Hyakuten Sensei. Driven by a passion to understand the origins of Reiki, he has made regular trips to Japan to meet his teachers and uncover the last traces of Usui Mikao Sensei and his students, especially since information on Usui Reiki therapy before World War II is scarce.
In addition to his journeys to Japan and India, he works in mental health care services in Germany. He is dedicated to sharing his knowledge and plans to offer more history workshops and Reiki classes in the near future. His teaching philosophy focuses on preserving the authenticity of traditional Reiki while making it accessible and relevant to contemporary practitioners.
Olaf is becoming well-known in the global Reiki community, contributing to discussions and collaborating with fellow practitioners to advance the understanding of Reiki. He was one of the main presenters at the centenary of Usui Reiki Ryoho in 2023 in Osaka. His future projects include further research into Reikis history and the publication of additional works on the subject.
