Reikitime International, a legacy of transformation through Reiki.

We are Matías Mahia and Carmen Villarreal Alberich. Since 2004 we have guided people on the path of Reiki — healing, service and spiritual awakening. Reikitime is what grew from that: an international community of practitioners, facilitators and therapists, with a presence across Latin America, North America and Europe.

Who we are

A living community that honors the power of energy and your capacity for transformation.

Reikitime was born in 2004 with one purpose: to train people who want to explore healing, service and spiritual awakening through Reiki. Over these years we have instructed thousands of practitioners and therapists, blending the ancestral wisdom of the method with contemporary tools.

We were pioneers in creating the largest hospital Reiki volunteering program in Baja California, with over sixteen years of uninterrupted service, in partnership with the Tijuana General Hospital Trust. And in the midst of the pandemic, we implemented distance attunements with international endorsement, adapting with ethics and depth at every stage.

Today we certify in seven methods —Traditional Reiki (Usui), Karuna, Jin Kei Do, Buddho Enersense, Satori Shihan, Shamanic Reiki and Egyptian Reiki. The last two are our own creation: we developed them and extend their certifications. Our courses combine video, downloadable documents, audio and discussion forums, with unlimited ongoing support for students and trainers. We also offer in-person experiences — transformative and high-impact.

Integrity

Teaching grounded in authenticity and respect for holistic traditions.

Accessibility

Learning and growing without geographical or economic barriers.

Lineage

Training with global references —Japanese, Tibetan, Western— to keep the tradition alive.

Community

Human connection as the engine of growth and mutual support.

The lineage

A living tradition that reaches you.

In Reiki, the lineage is the family tree of the teaching. The instructions pass from Sensei to Sensei, giving support and solidity to the practice of those who are initiated. To know where your teacher comes from is to know where you come from.

At Reikitime we trained with global references: Lama Lhanang Rinpoche (Tibetan Buddhist lineage), Sensei Hyakuten Inamoto (Japanese lineage), William Lee Rand (Karuna lineage) and Claudio Marquez (traditional lineage).

Testimonials

What changed in those who passed through here.

What began as a simple curiosity became a path of life. Eighteen years of practice, healing and deep learning have passed, and today I have the honor of working in a rehabilitation clinic for war veterans, where I apply Reiki with extraordinary results.
Bertha Denton · Tijuana, BC
Doing the three levels of Reiki was a before and after. It helped me get through a difficult stage, understand my purpose and make important decisions from the heart.
