Anu Butani is a Reiki Master & Teacher in Usui Shiki Ryoho system, a natural healing system founded by Mikao Usui in the early part of the 1900’s. Reiki treatment is an experience of hands on treatment which helps individuals release stress, relax and promote deep healing. Often it is described by clients as a grounding, comforting, deeply relaxing or even pain relieving. The sensations felt by clients are usually warmth/heat or some tingling in the area.
Anu’s journey into healing began long before she formally discovered Reiki.
As a certified yoga teacher, she often found herself instinctively placing her hands on her students’ foreheads, shoulders, and heads during class — offering silent support and intuitive comfort. It wasn’t until 2011, while passing through an international airport, that Reiki formally entered her life. That unexpected encounter sparked a deep inner shift — and from that moment, the Path of Reiki truly began. In that quiet moment of grace, something awakened within her. The shift was subtle, yet profound — and thus began her sacred calling on the Reiki path, a path of light, presence, and remembrance.
Anu took her first Reiki class in 2013, not knowing then how deeply it would transform her life.
She began quietly offering Reiki to her yoga students, guided by an inner calling to share what she was just beginning to embody. What became clear over time — and truly pivotal — was that the Usui System of Natural Healing is, at its heart, a sacred practice of self-healing. Through daily self-treatment, Anu experienced the stilling of the mind, a profound softening of the body, and the return to a place of inner balance. This quiet, nourishing presence became not just a practice, but a way of being — and continues to guide every aspect of her healing work today.
In 2014, she took her Second Degree Class. A year later she felt a strong calling to delve deeper into her Reiki journey and began her Master training journey in 2015. It came to completion in 2017.
