A bit about me
My Story
I’ve been interested in healing, wholeness and wellbeing for as long as I can remember. After witnessing the profound shifts that this path has brought for me, and continues to bring, my aim now is to be a channel for connection and healing for others in return.
Like many of us, a large part of my working life originally followed the ‘sensible’ route. I've had many traditional - and enjoyable - roles like teaching, Civil Service, academia, and roles within university professional services.
Alongside this more traditional path, I have always felt and explored an intuitive connection with the natural world, and I've have had a meditation practice for nearly 30 years following some transformative Vipassana meditation retreats in the late 1990s.
In recent years, listening to an increasingly strong inner voice, I’ve learned to allow more of my holistic self to surface. I’ve trained as a Community Herbalist, a Shamanic Healing Practitioner, and I'm an accredited Reiki Master Practitioner and Teacher.
Since moving to working as a full-time holistic practitioner, focusing on reiki to support connection, healing and harmony, I am more balanced, more aligned and more ‘me’. It’s my wish that the services I offer will enable you to feel the same.
My approach to healing
Many of us fear following our hearts. We may have been encouraged to choose the safer path, worried about stepping outside the usual mould, or doubted whether we could build a sustainable life doing what truly calls to us. We also often dismiss investing time in our own wellbeing as selfish or unimportant. These feelings are natural, yet they can leave us living with blocked energy, stifled longings, and disconnected from core parts of ourselves.
​
I am deeply interested in facilitating my fellow humans to reconnect with themselves, their true selves, and to revitalise their connection to the living planet around us. Much of our malaise — our dis-ease — comes from living fragmented and apart, and energy finds it hard to flow. Reiki is one of the modalities I offer to support this process of reconnection and healing.
My own wellbeing and wholeness comes from connection to the trees and plants, the sun and sky, the rain, water and wind. In this connection, I feel the energy of the universe that flows within and through all of us. My wish is that through reiki, your own life force can reconnect to that greater whole as well. Your healing experience with me will be underpinned by this connection. I have also trained as a shamanic practitioner, and this may gently inform my work where it feels supportive and welcome.
​
Above all, I meet my clients where they are. I offer reiki in a way that feels meaningful and supportive to you as an individual. I am a warm, person-centred and welcoming practitioner, and my intention is to help you feel relaxed, safe, and open to whatever healing or unblocking is right for you.
