Maki Kogure, Intuitive Healer

Maki started off her practice as a shiatsu practitioner when she first moved to Vancouver back in 2000. She learned her techniques from her home country, Japan. Coming to Vancouver, she realized that there weren’t a lot of forms of alternative therapy being offered at the time. She continued to work on her own for almost a decade until she decided to pursue the world of energy medicine. Through her readings, she recognized that her strength was in the form of reiki and psychic healing.

She found herself continuously helping her patients with deep rooting conditions that they may not have known – recognizing healing in conditions such as severe clinical depression, physical conditions such as bone breaks, skin burns, and ligamentous/muscular tears. She has had a tremendous effect within the community, slowly offering workshops to help us find the healing power within ourselves. She plans on expanding her healing in areas such as psychic healing, increasing the strength in her own healing and meditation. She also plans on pursuing her workshops to a greater scale with larger audiences. In her spare time, you can find her on the soccer field or softball diamonds playing hard and having a great time amongst her friends. She has a strong connection with the spiritual world and finds herself in nature or continuing her own practices with other like-minded practitioners. Also, finds she is a total animal lover! You will always see her around all the puppies.

She plans on continuing her education in areas such as myofascial stretching, craniosacral therapy, osteopathy and energy healing. Her mission with her work is to educate and spread awareness on how to become better for YOU. What factors help and what factors deter our progress? She offers guides and routines to help with your self care. In her spare time, you can find her in the forest, enjoying nature walks and surrounding herself with positive energy. She enjoys being outdoors, learning about anything pertaining to health and staying active for her own self care.

She then went on to study TCM in China from 2003 to 2008 and started practicing Acupuncture and Qigong healing in Hong Kong thereafter. Subsequently, she moved to Vancouver, BC and furthered her study for two years, and earned the qualification of Registered TCM Practitioner from CTCMA, and started practicing in North Vancouver since 2016.
