Your Dojo Reiki Practitioners
The Senior Instructors, Robert and Lorie Saito have been trained as teachers in 4 strains of Reiki, finally receiving their Shinpiden (Teacher) Degree from Inamoto Sensei in 2007. They now practice and teach a very spiritual path of Komyo Reiki, which focuses on reminding both clients and students of their beauty and empowering them to manifest the life they choose. Occassionally, our Okuden Students (3rd Degree) will practice for a time at The Dojo while they hone their skills.

Robert Saito
Shihan (Teacher)
Co-Founder of The Dojo
I was asked to tell you who I am. I am Love (most of the time) and Love is total acceptance. How I got here is the real question. I was taught many great things about life and healing from a great healer Dr. Roy Saito, my father. My mother, though, was the one who taught me acceptance. I started my big spiritual journey about 28 years ago. My wife Lorie was going to have our baby. We chose a different way and have been on that path ever since.
Meditation, conscious awareness, home births, creating our children’s life with less damage from society, building our home from straw bales and living more naturally became our truth and still accepted others in their truth was our challenge. So now THE DOJO.ca is our headquarters for Healing and Life Path guidance. We practice the healing art of Reiki, teach meditation and Reiki and help others see a spiritual gift in all of life.
Robert is available Tuesday through Friday for sessions. You can book a session here.
Lorie Saito - Shihan (Teacher)
Co-Founder of The Dojo
My days are made of the life I love. And I am so grateful for the experience that I’m having! I am married to Robert - the kindest, most unconditionally loving man I know and we have enjoyed 30 years together; I have three beautiful home-grown daughters, all graceful and lovely plus a glorious, spirited grandson. Each of them was born at home with midwives, the last one in a pool of water over 19 years ago. I have ‘un-schooled’ all three of them to un-graduation, focusing on allowing them to grow as individuals, to become aware of their truth and live by it.
Together Rob and I own a business doing the things we love the most. We are meditators, Reiki Instructors and Practitioners. My favorite thing to do is help people find a spiritual perspective on their life path, and I get to do it everyday. We live on an incredibly peaceful property, surrounded by wildlife and birds, living in an earthy, straw bale house that we built ourselves over 15 years ago. We have homesteaded and cleared and spent the last 20 years growing organically and creating a space of peace and unity. I love computers and graphic design and would consider myself a geek who meditates!
Lorie is available Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday for Reiki Sessions.
Kelly Martens - Okuden Practitioner
Hi my name is Kelly Martens, I am 42 years old and I have been happily married to my wonderful husband Brent for almost 20 years. We have 3 beautiful daughters Shaelynn, Morgan and Jocelyn. 6 years ago my life changed when I began my path of healing with Reiki and meditation. I had been suffering from anxiety, insomnia, depression and through Reiki sessions and meditation I found trust, calmness, peace, joy and got my life back better then ever. Reiki is a beautiful healing tool that I use every day on myself, my family and I now love to share it with others as a Reiki practitioner.
A big focus for me is our children, I feel that in todays society we seem to teach them to go mock all the time. Teaching them reiki, meditation and proper breathing techniques can bring all round health and happiness for them. Many children suffer from stress, anxiety and so many other things at such young ages that we need to give them tools to live peacefully and truly HAPPY!
Kelly is available Thursdays for Reiki Sessions.
