Our Team
Franki Mukai
Certified Reiki Master Practitioner & Emotion Code Practitioner
With life experience shaped by time spent living in Mexico, Japan, New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and San Francisco. Frank is on a journey of remembrance, returning to a life of purpose, gratitude, and service. He is committed to helping others heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves on this Earth. He deepens his practice by studying with teachers, elders, healers, and wisdom keepers across North, Central, and South America, as well as Asia, keeping ancient healing traditions alive and relevant.
In 2017, while in the rainforest of South America, Frank was reminded that his true path was simple, rooted, and ancient. This awareness eventually became a call to reconnect with the inner wisdom in all of us and to honor the ways of our ancestors.
In 2018, while in Central America, he connected with elders whose healing teachings emphasized truth, self-honesty, spiritual alignment, ancestral wisdom, releasing old patterns, and living with grounded clarity and purpose.
In 2021, he met his spiritual teacher in Northern California and began learning and deepening his understanding of being of service, eventually assisting others on their path of remembrance and healing.
In 2022, Frank’s Reiki journey began under Reiki Master Christopher Tellez, the founder of the SF Reiki Center. He completed his First and Second Degree Reiki certifications, and in 2023, became a Certified Reiki Practitioner. To honor the roots of his practice, he visited Mount Kurama in Kyoto, Japan, the birthplace of Reiki as taught by Dr. Mikao Usui, and paid homage at Miss Hawayo Takata’s first Reiki clinic in Hilo, Hawaii. He become a Certified Reiki Master Practitioner in February 2026.
In 2023, he completed a 52-week initiation with ancestral teachers, focusing on inner work experience, personal development and service to others.
In 2024, he completed the SoundMind Institute’s 12-month Facilitator Certification Program, led by Dr. Hannah McLane, preparing him to hold space and support others on their healing journeys. He also completed the hands-on practicum sessions in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
In 2025, he completed the Emotion Code Certification Program, a holistic energy healing modality developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson. And in December, he started the Body Code certification program.
Frank is a US Marine veteran stationed in Japan and San Diego during the early 90’s, followed by a career in the high-tech industry that lasted 30+ years. He also speaks Spanish and is a Certified Basic Life Support (BLS) provider.
Frank supports clients navigating stress, anxiety, depression, fear, and major life transitions, including those recovering from illness and or seeking peace, clarity, connection and balance. He offers private sessions both in person and online to assist in unlocking the healer within.

Why Reiki?
Reiki has been a profoundly transformative path for Keiko. Through her practice, she has cultivated deep spiritual growth and developed a strong awareness of the importance of balance across the physical, emotional, and mental dimensions of life.
She discovered that Reiki allows her to serve others by channeling universal life energy with intention and compassion. Studying under Reiki Master Christopher Tellez has been instrumental in strengthening her technical skill, intuitive sensitivity, and confidence as a practitioner.

KiKi Mukai
Energy Flow Advisor
Ki means life force in Japanese and Goddess of the Earth in ancient Sumerian culture.
KiKi joined our team in 2022. She is our beloved feline companion and an intuitive presence in our spiritual practice. Sensitive, calm, and deeply attuned to energy, KiKi often offers her quiet support and natural healing presence. Animals are naturally receptive to Reiki, and KiKi seems to recognize when someone needs extra comfort by simply holding space with her grounded energy.
Her presence reminds us of the power of stillness, trust, and unconditional love. There’s a peaceful energy that fills the room when KiKi is around. She is a cherished member of the healing space and a beautiful example of the connection between humans, animals, and the universal life force that Reiki channels.
Whether curled up nearby or softly observing from a distance, KiKi’s role is simple but profound; she helps people feel safe, seen, and supported, just as they are.
