Katalin Koda has been practicing Reiki for ten years and teaching for nine.  She has given hundreds of Reiki sessions and taught many students from around the world.  She studied and earned all degrees of Raku-Kei Reiki with Reiki Master and High Priestess, Rowan Wilson. 

After learning Reiki One and Two in Spring of 1998, she spent the following year practicing earnestly on friends and family while finishing her B.A. in socio-cultural Anthropology at the University of Maryland: College Park.  She volunteered at the Reiki Clinic in downtown Baltimore, Maryland, where she experienced the healing art of Reiki with a number of different practitioners of various lineages. 

A year later she earned her Reiki Master degree with Wilson.  Katalin also spent a year working with Wilson, learning and perfecting the crafting arts of Wicca, contemporary paganism.  This includes the art of casting a sacred circle, drawing down the moon and Tarot symbolism. 

Over the next ten years, Katalin has continued her practice and teaching of Reiki supplementing her study with the Chakra System, Hatha and Kundalini Yoga and the Tibetan Dharma.  She is a certified Sivananda Yoga instructor from Sivananda Ashram in Neyyar Dam, Kerala.  Coincidentally, during the writing of Sacred Path of Reiki, Katalin dedicated herself to the path of Tibetan Buddha dharma, by taking refuge with His Holiness Gyalwa Karmapa, leader of the Karma Kagyu lineage.   

Katalin currently divides her time between the U.S. and India where she continues to practice Reiki, teaches all degrees of Reiki Warrior, provides chakra and human energy field training for new practitioners and working healers as well as running her non-profit organization to help women and children of India.
