Erin Somerset is a Jikiden Reiki Shihan (Teacher) in Los Angeles, California. As a full time Reiki practitioner, her calm presence and nurturing nature is infused with intuitive awareness which creates a very personalized experience for each individual. She is a facilitator and holistic healer specializing in etheric work- connecting the human experience with other dimensional energies for the health and healing of the whole person.

I had always been drawn to helping others but truly started to understand the impact that could have when taking care of my mother who had been diagnosed with cancer. Frustrated with her diagnosis, I started to look for answers around what causes illness and how we can address the whole person and not just symptoms. I discovered Reiki when taking my mother to her chemotherapy appointments. The Cancer Center she attended offered Reiki alongside as a complementary therapy. I started to make a connection that blocked, stagnant and unwanted energy that can originate from emotional, mental, and spiritual stress could be a potential cause of disease. I knew I had to learn more so I began to study about Energy work and Reiki.

After about 6 years working and teaching Western style Reiki I came across Jikiden Reiki in 2016. These concise, simple and deeply rooted original teachings had been passed down in Japan and untouched by Western or New Age thought. I felt like I had been brought "home". I was trained by the Vice President of the Jikiden Reiki Kenkyukai (Institute), Frank Arjava Petter and became a Jikiden Shihan Kaku (assistant teacher) in 2017. Continuing my Jikiden training with Tadao Yamaguchi, the President of the Jikiden Reiki Kenyukai and son to Chiyoko Yamaguchi-I became a Jikiden Reiki Shihan (full teacher) in 2018 and am the 403rd Jikiden Reiki Shihan in the world. Since Reiki created such a huge impact on my life, I am commited to honoring the original teaching from Japan supporting the culture in which it originated.
​
As a Reiki Teacher, I believe in a holistic approach to life- creating a mind, body, spirit balance through energywork, meditation and dharma. Healing the whole person for a healthy and abundant life full of love and happiness. During a session, I have witnessed clients often experience a strong sense of clarity, emotional resolution and a restored energetic balance. It is not uncommon for clients to experience lasting relief from their issues and ailments. Reiki has become more than a way of life for me and I love to see my clients leave relaxed with more confidence and a new found approach to taking control of their own healing.
