About Thea Annya Nathan
Thea Annya Nathan is a Certified Reiki Master and founder of the Reiki Training Institute, with 30 years of international experience across the United States, Europe, and Asia. She is 12th in the direct lineage of Dr. Mikao Usui and is authorized to initiate others into this sacred practice. Renowned for her exceptional ability to facilitate profound healing and transformation, Thea is regarded as one of California’s most sought-after practitioners.
Her path was deeply shaped early on through her work at the Anne Sippi Clinic in Los Angeles, where she offered Reiki to AIDS patients—an experience that awakened her calling to serve in the field of death and dying.
She went on to receive her VA Hospice Certification through the Twilight Brigade and is a Certified Death Doula and Midwife. Supported by a lifetime of spiritual study and over two decades of devoted mentorship under Bodhisattva Shree Swami Premodaya, Thea offers a rare presence—one of depth, grace, and unwavering compassion—guiding individuals and their families through life’s most profound transitions.
"Thea is one of the greatest blessings in my family’s life. My dad, unfortunately, was hospitalized and began declining rapidly. I am so grateful for Thea’s supportive presence in the hospital, especially during one of the worst moments of my life.
My dad passed in peace, surrounded by so much love and family. And I believe we were able to create a loving and peaceful transition for my dad because of Thea’s loving guidance. She maintained such dignity and care for my dad. She was his advocate and even provided Reiki for my dad, my mom, and me.
Thea was such a blessing even after my dad passed away. She was ever present during the difficult moments of his viewing and witness cremation. We loved her so much that we invited her to my dad’s celebration of life.
I highly recommend Thea. Her death doula services brought so much love, understanding, hugs, and needed emotional support.”

" Working with Thea for nearly two years has guided me through both emotional and energetic blocks, hurdles, and challenges that life presents me with. In some sessions, we talk; in others, I relax as Thea works her Reiki magic - even over Zoom. The grace and happiness awakening in me are a testament to how effective and deep the work is. I highly recommend Thea's holistic and diverse approach to traditional therapy and Reiki."

“Thea has been an important healer and dear friend in my life for more than a decade. She has provided some of the most profound healing and grounding I have experienced, and that is saying a great deal more than you likely imagine. Thea has been all four legs of the table for me when I had none of my own. Her heart is huge, and her capacity for intuiting and supporting what is needed is profound. May you, too, find the connection I feel.
— Mitch M.
Thea is eternally grateful to her Guru, Bodhisattva Shree Swami Premodaya, whom she met over 24 years ago. His never-ending spiritual guidance, encouragement, and support continue to enrich Thea’s life to this day. 🙏🏼
