Over twenty-five years ago, I was about to sit my massage practical exam and had badly hurt my back - I genuinely didn't know how I was going to stand for the full 90 minutes it needed. A friend I was having lunch with introduced me to someone else in the college cafeteria who "did Reiki."

 

I'd never even heard of it. I sat in a chair while she put her hands on me and chatted away about all sorts - none of it about my back. I remember thinking it was all a bit too woo-woo for my liking.

​

Then we left the canteen to walk to the exam hall, and I realised I couldn't feel any pain at all. Not just that day, either - it never came back. I was sold. I went and did my research properly and trained with who I believed to be the best in the field, with the strongest values and integrity - the same standard I've held myself to with every treatment I've trained in since and values I hold when I train my own students.  

​

I've been practising Reiki for fifteen years now, and in that time have worked with clients dealing with work stress, grief, chemotherapy recovery, fertility treatment, and miscarriage, as well as more everyday things like headaches, insomnia, and back pain.

​

Like all of the holistic treatments I offer, you don't need to be unwell to benefit from Reiki. It's just as valuable as a way of staying well as it is for treating something that's already gone wrong — some of my clients come in simply to maintain the balance they've already found.

 

Reiki isn't just something I offer clients — it's part of my own daily wellness routine. I use it on myself almost every day: sending Reiki to my food, my water, to difficult situations, even to past events I want to bring some healing to. And, frequently, to my laptop when it's playing up.

​

I'm also a Reiki Master/Teacher, and I offer training for anyone who wants to learn Reiki themselves.

Sessions are available at my clinic room in Helston, at your home, or remotely via distance Reiki.
