Merrie Bakker, Reiki Master & Teacher; Healer, Reflexologist & Dowser

I have spent the last 15 years learning and teaching many forms of Energy Medicine and preventative health. In addition to teaching Reiki, Dowsing and Reflexology classes, I practice nutritional microscopy / live blood analysis and offer ozone/oxygen therapies.

I was introduced to Reiki, Reflexology and Dowsing in the late 1990's. After exploring many methods of self-awareness training, taking a plethora of energy work, body/mind, alternative healing classes, I knew I had finally found, amongst these varied and often awesomely inspiring and wondrous modalities, the key elements that were integral to healing the way I wanted to integrate and present them.

Reiki, Reflexology and Dowsing were also the tools I could use to take responsibility for my own health. I saw Reiki, Reflexology and Dowsing as giving us all tangible tools, effective on all levels ~ environmentally, physically, emotionally and even spiritually. When the various forms of Reiki, Reflexology and Dowsing that I had studied and used had became as comfortable as an old sock, I wanted to pass them on to others to use and so I began teaching.

In my youth I completed Lyceum in The Netherlands and then came to study Fine Arts and Architecture at UBC in Vancouver, BC.

More recently I was publisher and editor of The Healing Journal, a bi-monthly wholistic health magazine for the Greater Vancouver BC area in hardcopy from 2003 thru 2008. The Journal continues online. The Healing Journal was founded to provide clear honest information - to help level the alternative, health and healing playing field and to cut through all of the advertorial type of health information that is so prolific and often confusing. The content ranges from the physical, environmental to the metaphysical, spiritual and from the obscure to the political. Enjoy the many articles at http://www.thehealingjournal.com.

I write health articles for THJ and other publications.

My speaking venues include wellness centers and alternative health gatherings.

Special Acknowledgement
Many fine teachers have patiently inspired me - Eric Dowsett, Richard Gordon, Alain Herriot, Dr. Martine Faure-Alderson and others, to continue with this work.
Sometimes my clients have unwittingly inspired me when they showed what profound changes and shifts they could make with a little facilitation. They are a testament to open-minded strength, dedication and resilience to the best they can be.

Looked at a lot of classes and workshops and don't know which to sign up for?
Wonder how Reiki and Reflexology and Dowsing can be taught in a few hours by some and yet Pacific Holistic takes a whole weekend for class and each level?
Is it that simple?
Give me a call with any questions you may have and I will be happy to explain our class content. What do you have to loose?
