Bronwen Logan

Bronwen Logan

Bronwen Logan, also known as Bronwen Stiene, is an educator in the Japanese art of Reiki, as well as a writer, an animal lover, a thinker, a podcaster, a feminist, and a catalyst for spiritual and personal empowerment. With 25 years of teaching experience and counting, Bronwen’s teachings extend beyond the conventional, inviting you to explore the deeper, transformative elements of the system of Reiki.

Bronwen’s interests include studying meditation from a variety of cultural influences, writing about her spiritual experiences from a philosophical and practical perspective, discovering more about the importance of Japanese culture and philosophy in the system of Reiki, embodying the role of women in the healing arts, supporting the wellbeing of animals through healing work and more.

A driving force in the Reiki community, Bronwen is the founder of Reiki with Bronwen, the home of everything she teaches today. Earlier in her career she co-founded both the International House of Reiki and Shibumi International Reiki Association. She’s the co-author of respected works such as The Reiki Sourcebook, The Japanese Art of Reiki, and Your Reiki Treatment. Her extensive publications and teaching materials have been a cornerstone for students globally, offering guidance that blends scholarly accuracy with heart-centred intuition.

Bronwen’s soothing voice has guided many through Reiki audiobooks, blogs and a wide range of meditations and web classes. Always focused on her students’ well-being, Bronwen supports her work with certifications in Teaching Training and Assessment, TEFLA, Senior First Aid, and Counseling.

Today Bronwen teaches almost entirely online. At the heart of her teaching is Shinpiden+, her signature course for anyone who has completed Reiki III. It took 18 months to create and takes students back through the whole system of Reiki from a Japanese perspective.

Alongside it sits the Shūyō App, a daily companion that helps anybody practise the system of Reiki from a Japanese perspective, and her regular online classes: weekly Reiju, the fortnightly Online Reiki Coaching Group and the monthly Tea Time. Together they offer a complete and comprehensive understanding of the practice.

Bronwen also speaks internationally about the Japanese aspects of the system of Reiki, including waka poetry and its place within the system.

Bronwen lives at Tomah Retreat in the Blue Mountains of Australia, where she has created a haven for the many rescue animals in her life. In-person teaching and treatments are still available there for those who can make the journey.

From her early studies with pioneering Reiki researchers Light and Adonea to meeting icons such as Mrs. Yamaguchi and studying with Pure Land teacher Hyakuten Inamoto, Bronwen’s roots in the practice run deep and wide. Her continuous exploration of the system has also led her to study Qi Gong with notable teachers like Li Ying and Master Robert Peng.

In a world that often seeks to sideline the spiritual, Bronwen shines as an advocate for holistic well-being, especially elevating women’s voices within the Reiki community. Tune in to her Reiki Women Podcasts for enriching conversations that bridge the gap between the esoteric and the everyday.

Bronwen is an ally in your journey towards wholeness and grounded wellbeing. Whether you’re a beginner on this path or a seasoned traveller, her teachings offer something invaluable; a renewed sense of connection, purpose, and inner peace.

What students and clients have to say about Reiki with Bronwen

  • I would highly recommend this class. Bronwen's encouragement helped me to find my own unique voice through the process of preparation and creative writing. She provided us with a very clear structure to start from, which made it easier to get going and allow the creative process to flow. The class was very well organized with slides, group participation through talk or chat, PDF's for later review and of course Bronwen's invaluable insight and help during class and through email. I looked forward to each session, the group of participants were such a joy to get to know and each one left me so inspired. I feel a lot more confident writing and guiding my own meditations now and have been writing meditations since the class ended.

  • I had a big emotional release during the treatment. I cried and cried and let it all out. I saw myself as a kid in my minds eye so guess she was popping up for healing!
    I feel so much lighter and more positive now.
    I'm feeling like myself again! Thank you!!

  • I would like to sincerely thank you for such an unforgettable experience of learning and receiving Reiki. I truly understood and connected with every message and piece of knowledge you shared. Everything resonated deeply with me. The knowledge you gave us was priceless and profoundly meaningful. I have followed many coaches, attended retreats, and taken various spiritual courses, but none of them brought me the sense of balance and fulfilment that I now feel after completing your Reiki school.

  • This class is fabulous. Bronwen is inspiring and so generous and supportive. I found my commitment to my practice deepened as well as my understanding of what my daily practice is for me. And, I began to become comfortable writing meditations and guiding them. Just an outstanding experience. Thank you, Bronwen.

    It's amazing what a little introspection can do for the soul under her skillful, soulful guidance.

  • I always learn so much from any course or program that I attend that Bronwen teaches. I have been creating guided Reiki (with animals) meditations for years now but I knew that I would be able to take what I am already creating, to a new level. I was so inspired. Thank you Bronwen for giving each of us some beautiful steps and techniques to use in our writing and meditation process. Each session we were given beautiful information and instructions that we would then put into practice in our own unique way. I loved listening to each of the other participants meditations. Each of us different but so beautiful and profound. We all actually have our own beautiful unique way of creating and sharing inspired guided meditations. I was so grateful for Bronwen's support and guidance as well as the feedback from the group. If you are considering creating your own guided meditations or deepening your meditations you must take this course. Thanks Bronwen.

    Bronwen, I have been listening to your CD set, Reiki Meditations for Self-Healing, and have recommended it to my students. Your gentle, non-judgmental approach to meditation and to Reiki is an inspiration.

  • I have downloaded the app and have completed 2 days! I have “forgotten” Reiki for a few months, with the busyness of life. It feels lovely to connect again. This morning I listened on the train, I wasn’t able to do dry bathing (too many people around!), it felt good to be relaxed in my practice and meet myself where I am able for today, if you know what I mean?! Thank you, it’s lovely!

  • I am loving this online course because: There’s reading, listening, watching, writing, and contemplation time. There’s regular Zoom coaching with Bronwen. It’s completely self-paced… though we are encouraged to take it slow, experience and embody… but to no finish by. There’s invitation and pathway to collaboration with other students. Bronwen’s presentation style is extremely engaging, and there’s a library of previous coaching videos, which are accessible when you subscribe to the fortnightly coaching class. I’m learning new content. The home study questions and reflection prompts are engaging. It’s really interesting.

  • I had to share and thank you for your the meditation CD. The day it arrived I put it the car and that afternoon I was working with a special needs adult with ADD. She was becoming increasingly anxious and upset.  I put on the CD and when she heard your voice she calmed down. We continued together to do the breathing into the hara while I was driving and it was amazing, we both were feeling balanced and relaxed.

  • I love beginning my day with the Shūyō meditation app. The practice helps me settle my mind and move into the day with greater presence and intention. I also appreciate the gentle reminders throughout the day. Even when I don’t have time for a full practice, the reminder encourages me to pause, take a breath, and reconnect to the present moment.

  • So grateful for this app. I have been practicing Reiki for over thirty years, but being retired I wanted something that would gently keep me practicing Reiki. I was hesitant at first as I wasn’t new to Reiki, but this is perfect. If I’m overtired then the ten minutes is a gentle hug and the longer one is blissful.
    Christine
    Shūyō App
  • The Shinpiden+ course and the Shūyō App are just right for me as it includes an easy as breath way, as you say, to practice a variety of techniques. I’m 75 going to be 76 in September, and this is a great early birthday gift from me to me. Thank you, thank you again!

  • I attended the two-day face-to-face Shoden Reiki 1 training with Bronwen. The whole experience was truly amazing. Bronwen is an exceptional teacher and host. I have been interested in doing my Reiki training for some time now, and after a weekend with Bronwen, I am more motivated than ever. Thanking you Bronwen.

  • I’m loving the Shūyō App, everything about it. I have a lot going on just now and it’s so helpful to have this guided practice. I love that I can choose a longer time or just 10 minutes on a busy day. I also love reading the Waka, this is a new practice for me.

  • I love your book, The Reiki Sourcebook!! You have done an excellent job of research and writing for this sensitive but important material. Thank you for your meticulous effort to provide unbiased information on reiki, which will help keep reiki from drowning in controversy and ego.

  • Loved every class and a great investment of my time. Bronwen guided us to think a outside the box and took a gentle approach with us.  It was an opportunity to not only hone my meditation skills further but allowed me the confidence to write meditations and share it with the class. The group was global and each brought a different perspective to the classes.  Well worth doing Bronwen's meditation class and hope there is a part 2 , whatever format that may take.

Bronwen was very much  in tuned with each of her student that everyone became more confident within themselves.

    Thank you very much. I felt immediately relaxed and my back pain is gone. I didn’t realize how much it bothered me until I got up this morning and didn’t feel it. I am very grateful.

  • The Shūyō App is a miracle. This has brought me back to Reiki and to ease of practice. The practice has lifted my heart and my soul, washed away feelings of being lost, and deepened my practice. It has brought me lasting peace, deeper knowing, and self-fulfillment. I am loving it!

  • The Shūyō App is convenient to use and offers so much! It is set up to flow from one practice to another with ease. The choices of 10 minutes, 25-minute light, and full 25 minutes are truly helpful, and Bronwen explains that all of the choices are equally valuable. Bronwen’s warm, supportive voice adds to the content. There are opportunities as well for deeper reflection and explanation. Surprised myself how many days I actually did — a month!

  • I just wanted to say that I loved this meditation series. Bronwen, your voice is absolutely Divine! I would listen to anything you record! I loved that each meditation built upon the last and softly led the listener to a place of deep inner serenity. I will definitely listen again! With great gratitude…

  • I feel as though I have been reborn, leaving behind stress, the difficult experience of redundancy, and constant worry. Even my chronic back pain has somehow disappeared. I cannot remember the last time I slept without pain, and now I no longer feel it. I can honestly say that the deepest relaxation and mental clarity I have ever experienced happened with your teachings.

  • I very much enjoyed the 21 day course in finding my voice. I have been meditating on the precepts daily and have really taken a liking to chanting, which I never really connected with previously. I really enjoy the vibration through my being and the stillness it creates. It feels strange not to have a recording in my inbox daily from you. I can't wait to take more courses with you. You are absolutely living your purpose. Your beautiful energetic spirit, amazing voice, and guidance kept me so grounded through my recovery. Thx for your power, support, guidance,  wisdom, and calming vines. Wonderful to know you.

  • The 21 Day Journey to Finding Your Voice with Bronwen was a magical experience. With poetry, chanting, quotes, meditation, and her own healing energy, she guided and nurtured us to a deeper, loving relationship with our True Self as expressed through the Precepts. The course opened a door through which one can live a life of beauty, integrity and strength. Thank you so much, Bronwen

    AMAZING Bronwen thank you. That was a two for one deal. She only stirred twice. Once when you were around her head I think. Thank you so much. She snored mostly through it. Looking forward to seeing how she's feeling. My entire body is vibrating my hands and arms tingling so strong. Some emotions were brought to the surface for me. Thank you thank you.

  • I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the creative writing course and to thank you very much for your inspiration and encouragement. You gave me the confidence to have a go at the writing and I surprised myself what I managed to produce! I really enjoyed doing it and it has definitely helped me to get more from my meditation practice with looking at it from a different perspective. So many thanks once again Bronwen.

    It was as if the veil of any illusion of differences between species was pulled back and we were just all there together. We all sat there for some time after the session "formally" ended. None of us wanting to leave the space. I've never received distant Reiki with them, that is with me actually included in the treatment. It was a profound experience and I know we are all even closer because of it. It feels as if we understand each other better. And it feels as if the energies we share received healing. All of the animals are very peaceful tonight. It was as if the Reiki energy just swirled around the property and house in the most magical way.

  • I just wanted to tell you how very much I am loving this course! It is all I had hoped for quadrupled. Your videos are fascinating, and the resources breathtaking in their range. I was so stymied after my Japanese Reiki 1&2 in London last year, and unable to get my head around all the often-contradictory-seeming information, but I am now finally able to join the dots. You are a marvellous teacher!

  • I’m just loving Shinpiden+ with Bronwen Logan. I love her course so much and I recommend it to any Reiki practitioner regardless of whether they teach, work with others or with themselves only, as a way of settling into the mud, twigs, moss and clear mountain water of Japanese Reiki.
