About the Owner/Shihan (teacher)

​

Cerise LaCore is the owner and founder of Traditional Japanese Reiki. Cerise first studied Reiki in the early 1990's and received a very good foundation in western-style Reiki. She began teaching in 1997. Several years later she met and studied with Japanese Buddhist Monk, Hyakuten Inamoto, the founder of Komyo ReikiDo, and became a Certified Komyo ReikiDo Shihan (teacher). As she prefers the more spiritual emphasis of the Japanese style, Cerise now teaches the Traditional Japanese Reiki style exclusively.

​

In addition to providing individual distant Reiki sessions, teaching certified Reiki classes, and leading Reiki support groups in a live, online, interactive format, Cerise is also a state certified massage therapist as well as a practitioner of Ortho-Bionomy.

​

She is a Summa Cum Laude graduate of Clayton College of Natural Health and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Natural Health with a Certification in Homeopathy. Cerise also holds a Doctorate in Divinity from Universal Life Ministries. She and her family live off-grid on 40 acres of land on a mountain-top at 3,000 feet in the Sierra Nevada foothills. She is an avid organic gardener and herbalist, canning, drying, and preserving a lot of her family's food and natural medicines, and strives to live as environmentally earth-friendly a life-style as possible.
