We are Tania Bakas and Tracy Lydiatt, two Reiki gals who met while doing our Reiki Master training. We love practicing Reiki and have witnessed incredible events which have transpired because of using Reiki as a healing tool. We feel we are in a time of great transition on our little planet and need to contribute as much positive energy as possible!

We have joined together on a mission to inspire, educate and connect people to Reiki. Our main method of achieving this goal is to produce a book with inspiring stories.

Please help us and contribute your inspiring story about the power of Reiki healing. Visit the Reiki Vibes Book page to contribute your story. It is our wish to share these stories of love and healing and spread good Reiki Vibes!

Additionally, we are committed to offering high quality, creative, and practical products for Reiki students, practitioners and teachers on our online store.

Both Tracy and Tania are members of the Canadian Reiki Association.

Thank you for your continued support!

Tracy’s Bio

Over the years, I have come to realize that I am a healer and that when I work with my clients, family and friends, I feel so connected and fulfilled in my work. Like a curious child, I am constantly finding new modalities and enhancements to add to the Reiki training I have undergone. I am so excited to be a healer and to be able to support and contribute to better bodies, better health and a holistic way of life.

I love the earth and hold a B.Sc in Geology from the University of British Columbia. I have worked in the mining industry and constantly felt torn between being an environmentalist and a scientist. As I’ve come to understand the business side of the mining industry I realize that it’s possible to be both a scientist and environmentalist. I am looking forward to blending all of my skills and experiences from this industry with my passion for the earth and holistic practices by completing a Master’s degree in Sustainability in the next several years.

It is my ultimate goal to open a business that focuses on a holistic way of life, and blends my skills as a healer, scientist and environmentalist. It is my desire to offer my skills through this unique business that will fulfill both the healing needs of our bodies and the needs of business and community to become better educated in the importance of living holistic, sustainable lives.

I am filled with gratitude everyday for the gift of my life and only hope that my actions with Reiki Vibes will contribute to the health and well-being of those who feel a connection with our mission.

Tania’s Bio

Reiki really was the light at the end of the tunnel for me. I had heard of this healing modality a few years before meeting my teacher and Reiki Master, Barb Weston of Inner Focus Holistic Healing, but my journey was leading me through different experiences at the time.

I attempted to climb the corporate ladder of advertising in Toronto, Ontario and this quest lasted seven years. As my career advanced, my emotional stability declined. A little voice inside me was urging me to make some changes. I took courses in the Aesthetics field. I visualized becoming a home business operator and the idea of self employment became very appealing to me. For the next two years, I worked very hard. I dealt with financial difficulties, debt and daily pressures but most importantly, I fought hard to overcome deep-rooted negative thought patterns. I was on a mission to combat the negative thoughts and emotions that would invade my life and disrupt my harmony. During this quest for self knowledge and healing, I decided to move back to North Vancouver, BC — my hometown. I had once again started from scratch.

Shortly after settling into my new environment, I found Barb Weston. I barely knew how Reiki worked but was intensely drawn to it and was determined to learn about it.

Reflexology also entered my path unexpectedly. I started researching the subject and was very impressed. I felt that this healing modality would be very beneficial to my clients, especially when used in conjunction with Reiki.

Now I am happily self employed and run Giving Within Holistic Healing. I am so grateful to be here NOW and look forward to healing, helping and sharing the love of Reiki with the rest of the world through Reiki Vibes!

Every day is a learning experience, an opportunity to share and love.
