Meet Markia, Reiki Master in Seattle

My path to Reiki

My name is Markia, and my journey with Reiki began while I was searching for relief from chronic pain caused by severe arthritis. As I balanced work, family, and persistent pain, I discovered that Reiki offered more than physical support—it created a space for calm, restoration, and a deeper connection with myself.

That experience inspired me to study Reiki more deeply and continue along a path of learning and practice. I fell in love with the simplicity, wisdom, and transformative potential of this tradition, and I knew I wanted to share the same sense of peace and balance that Reiki had brought into my own life.

I created Ground State Reiki to offer a calm, grounded approach to healing—one that honors the roots of traditional Usui Reiki Ryoho while welcoming a thoughtful, contemporary perspective. The name Ground State Reiki draws inspiration from physics, where “ground state” refers to a system’s lowest energy state. For me, it represents a sense of settling—a return to stillness and a place to pause. In simpler terms, it’s the condition where something is at it’s most settled, balanced, and undisturbed state.

My sessions are designed to create a supportive space where you can slow down, restore balance, and reconnect with your own natural capacity for healing.
