My Story
As someone who loves spending time outdoors in nature, I have always felt a deep connection to the Earth and its healing energy. If I can be in the woods, the sea, on a mountain; I’m instantly content and all earthy worries disappear and feel insignificant. I find nature and creativity are the most powerful tools for healing.
Life felt so busy; with our time consuming family business, young children, the demands of life, and my chaotic on the go energy; I wanted to do something to take a step back. This is what inspired us to move to a space surrounded by nature, and led me to follow my passions in nature, photography, creativity and to become a Reiki Master. In my own life, I would have Reiki to slow my mind down and get rid of the clutter; and I would feel peace wash over me; just like when I'm outdoors.
I found a wonderful Reiki Master to teach me, taking me through practitioner, master and teacher training; and who continues to mentor me. Following my creative and expressive passions, I then began my sound healing journey, and continue to follow both of these paths and use my peaceful space here; and my qualities of positive energy, empathy and creativity to work with others.
Whatever you need, Reiki has a way of knowing; whether it's physical, spiritual, emotional - I hope I can support you on your journey to wellness and wholeness.

My Approach
I believe we can accelerate healing when we immerse ourselves in nature and find a place where we can truly quiet the mind. In my idyllic countryside location, you will find a peaceful and tranquil setting in which to connect with yourself and the world around you. I offer balancing and healing Reiki energy treatments in my calming outdoor room and also outdoors in nature. If the weather is fine, we will often start our consultation barefoot in the garden so we can ground our selves in nature before you relax and let go of your thoughts... or when indoors, I always like to ground the treatment bed with the earth and have the light and outdoor sounds come into the room so nature is still flowing.
I continue my training in sound therapy to give your healing session an extra boost of magic, and will be offering other therapeutic and creative exploration experiences in the near future.
What is Reiki?
Energy is all around us and makes up everything in the entire universe! Energy cannot die; but only is manipulated and transferred. Reiki is a healing practice that works to clear the chakra energy system on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level. Through training and the process of attunements the Practitioner learns to transfer the Universal energy, qi, lifeforce, through themselves, and out via their hands into the person, place or situation their intention is to heal. Some access Reiki as a spiritual practice, where their guides and higher self will work to heal them; others see it as a practical experience, having beneficial results on their wellbeing, where they feel peace a relaxation without rational explanation. You don't need to be spiritual to enjoy Reiki.
What might I feel?
You may see and feel things; or you may just relax and feel the quiet or fall asleep. I've had people see colours, or even images; but also just feel relaxed, like you would with other healing treatments or being outside in nature. Most report to come out of a session feeling calm and peaceful and rejuvenated. Some report feeling warmth, or even cold from the hands of the practitioner.
More about Reiki...
Reiki is an ancient Japanese energy technique developed by Mikao Usui. The word means universal life energy (rei is universal, ki is life energy). It’s the vital force that flows through everything, and can be activated for a powerful form of healing. It was bought to the West by Mrs Takata in 1937, and it is now used by private and public health practitioners as a complementary technique to support other medicine and practices. It can assist in healing emotional, and physical blockages through the rebalance of energy. Treatments aim to provide relaxation and relieve emotional stress and tension, and often help to cope with difficult situations and improve overall well-being.
What is Sound healing?
Sound healing is another modality that works to clear the energy field on a physical, mental, emotional and spiritual level.
It's a powerful therapy that is highly effective at triggering our relaxation response by altering our brain wave states. It combines healing sounds, music, and instruments to bring our bodies vibrations into balance, improve our well-being and reduce stress.
Sound therapy techniques are delivered using instruments such as Tibetan and crystal singing bowls, gongs, drums, tuning forks, and more, both during a one-on-one sound healing session or sound bath.
I use Sound within some of my Reiki treatments to further promote calm and relaxation.
