Mariko Hiyama

(Founder Maitri Asia limited)

Before stepping into the world of holistic healing, Mariko built a successful international career in banking and insurance across the UK, Switzerland, and Japan. Driven by a passion for growth and venture creation, she went on to earn a Master’s in Entrepreneurship & Innovation from the University of Luxembourg. However, a deeper calling ultimately led her to pivot away from the corporate world. Guided by a desire to help others transform their quality of life, she founded MAITRI ASIA Limited in Hong Kong. Today, Mariko combines her strategic background with a deep dedication to body, mind, and soul alignment. Her overarching vision is to empower individuals through education which is mainly by teaching people how to practice basic therapeutic touch at home so they can bring healing, comfort, and connection to their loved ones.

Qi Gong

Qi Gong (pronounced “chee-gong”) is a traditional Asian mind-body practice that brings together gentle movement, conscious breathing, posture, and focused awareness. Practised across different parts of Asia, it offers a way to reconnect with the body, breath, and mind while cultivating greater awareness, vitality, and balance. For over a decade, Mariko has been training directly under Master Joe Lok, a gifted Taoist Qi Gong and Martial Arts master, and continues to learn under his guidance. Rooted in Taoist tradition, her Qi Gong teachings includes a range of forms and body-mind practices. Through her teaching, she invites participants to explore movement, breath, and awareness while building a deeper connection with themselves, nature, and the energy around them.

Mariko teaches Basic Qi Gong, Phoenix Qi Gong, and Immortal Crossing the Sea, along with Yoga and Qi Gong-based body-mind movements. Her approach draws from Taoist Qi Gong and explores the connection between movement, breath, nature, and universal energy.

Qi Gong encourages relaxation, mobility, body awareness, and a greater sense of physical and mental balance. Its mindful movements and breathing practices invite greater presence, focus, and connection with the body.

Qi Gong sessions are suitable for all fitness levels, from complete beginners to experienced practitioners. The practices can be adapted to different levels of familiarity and individual needs.
Sessions are available as private 1-on-1 sessions, group retreat masterclasses, and corporate wellness workshops. Depending on the setting, sessions may incorporate different Qi Gong forms alongside Yoga and body-mind movement practices.

On Media

Hiyama gave up her career in banking to become a regular yoga instructor seven years ago. Despite practising yoga every day, she found she was not seeing results in her face like she was in the rest of her body. Seeking a more “holistic approach to wellbeing”, she expanded her practice to include face yoga and facial reflexology.

“In Hong Kong people are very tense because of their lifestyle: the speed, the stress. Their facial muscles get stuck and they have poor circulation”
– Mariko Hiyama
