I am trained in traditional Usai Reiki. It is an energy-based healing therapy. Reiki is Japanese for ‘universal life energy’, Reiki treatments can help bring about an improved sense of wellbeing, a feeling of deep relaxation and a sense of emotional balance.

Treatment is simple. The recipient remains clothed and comfortably lies on a couch or sits on a chair. The practitioner gently places their hands non-intrusively, on or near the head and body. There is no massage or manipulation.

Practitioners send healing energy to areas of the receiver’s body, working on subtle energy.

The Reiki technique is a unique approach to integrating the healing process between mind, body and spirit.  Reiki treatment is effective in boosting the immune system, improving circulation, alleviating stress and anxiety. It can help Increase and maintain your physical, emotional and mental strength, release past traumas, and blockages caused by suppressed emotions.

Recipients may, or may not,  feel sensations during a Reiki treatment. Some people feel heat, tingling, or experience seeing colours, whilst others can have an emotional response, indicating that shifts are taking place, allowing harmony to be restored.  Some recipients do not feel any sensation other than deep relaxation, a sense of peacefulness and wellbeing.

Reflexology treatments

I have a diploma in Reflexology from the British School of Reflexology.

Reflexology is a simple, effective, natural way to help overcome many common illnesses and ailments and enjoy better health.

Reflexology is a natural healing science which works by applying pressure to minute points on the feet, which creates a stimulating effect in corresponding areas throughout the whole body, working through the nerve pathways, creating an energizing effect and stimulating the body’s natural healing processes.

Reflexology has been found to be beneficial in relieving Asthma, Bronchitis, Migraine, Anxiety Attacks, Back Pain, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS), Arthritis and a variety of other stress related conditions.

The basic concept underlying both reiki and reflexology is that the body is made up of energy and the flow of this energy is central to the health of body and mind.  This energy travels in pathways that can become blocked or weakened. This idea of energy flow in the body is also a central concept in Ayurvedic medicine and traditional Chinese medicine, including acupuncture.
