What is Reiki?
Reiki is universal life force energy. Rediscovered in the 1920's in Japan by a gentleman called Mikao Usui, he taught others how to channel Reiki energy for cultivating stillness in mind and body, self-healing and healing for others, which laid the foundation for modern Reiki practices. Usui’s system was passed down through successive generations of practitioners, preserving his methods. The energy healing system was brought to the west by one of his students Hawayo Takata, initially in Hawaii and then introduced around the world.
Whether you are feeling unsettled emotionally, physically or mentally, this wonderful energy healing system could help. Reiki is a complimentary, non invasive and safe method for supporting your unique life path, and the body’s natural ability to heal and restore balance.
Reiki is an ancient, non-denominational form of energy healing, which pours life force energy into our whole system. Reiki soothes and regenerates, and brings a sense of calm and relaxation.
What can Reiki help with?
Reiki is a complementary therapy, that can work effectively alongside other prescribed remedies or treatments. For example, The NHS offers Reiki as a complimentary therapy for supporting cancer treatment, addictions and staff wellness. If you think you do have a serious medical condition, it is not for me to diagnose or prescribe, I will always suggest that you speak to your GP first.
One of the most commonly reported effects of Reiki is that of relaxation or a reduction in stress. It is believed that a link may exist between ‘energy’ therapies and activation in the autonomic nervous system (ANS) (Mackay et al., Ramnarine-Singh,1999).
For instance, Wardell and Engebretson (2001) measured the biological effects of Reiki on the ANS and found significant reduction of anxiety and systolic blood pressure.
Intention is important and we can explore where you feel you need the energy to flow to at the start of a session. Or, it may be a general sense of needing to relax, recharge and rebalance; allowing the energy to flow where it is needed, which Reiki always does. I have experience of helping people with unresolved loss, stuck emotions, anxiety, stress and overwhelm.
One session may be enough, or it can take several sessions for healing to take place, and there can be different reasons for this. I suggest 3 initial session's to start, with follow up sessions as and when required. I also offer distance Reiki treatment sessions.
What is it like to receive Reiki?
When Reiki energy flows, it may feel like warmth, tingling, or simply a sense of calm. There can sometimes be an emotional release, mental clarity and insights into past, or ongoing situations, as well as allowing clarity of potential changes to make. Very often the session can simply be a relaxing and restorative experience. It is important to say that it isn’t me or my energy that is healing you, it is the Reiki energy that flows through me to you. Reiki connects with your own energy system to flow where it is needed, always for your highest and greatest good.
What happens in a session?
In person:
Upon arrival I will welcome you into my therapy room, which is a comfortable and calm space. To start, we can talk through what brings you to seek Reiki, how Reiki works, what to expect in the session and answer any questions you may have. Remaining fully clothed, you can either lay down or remain sitting, whichever is most comfortable for you. At the end of the session we will have some time to share what you experienced and discuss any additional support you may need.
Distant Healing:
With the option to meet virtually on Zoom, or we can message at the time of your session, it is important that you are in a quiet, safe and comfortable space to relax. After setting the intention for where you need the energy to flow, simply relax to receive Reiki energy. At the end of the session we can then share what you experienced, any insights or areas of focus.
Your investment:
In person (up to 75 mins): £75.00 per session.
Distant Healing (up to 60 mins): £65.00 per session.
My Reiki background
I started on my path to be a Reiki Practitioner/Teacher in 2019. I have always been aware of, and sensitive to energies and curious around spiritual development, but this grew as my life progressed. As is often the case, Reiki found me. I started to talking to a lady at a holistic event one day, just before a workshop on energy. Little did I know that this lady was actually giving the talk, and would become my first Reiki Teacher. In 2019 I was lucky enough to learn levels 1&2, and be attuned to Reiki with my teacher and Reiki Master Charmian, who was trained by those close to Hawayo Takata who introduced Reiki to the western world in the 1980's. In 2024 I achieved my Master Teacher certification with renowned Reiki Master Richard Ellis. I am grateful to both my teachers for learning with them, and their ongoing support.
My lineage is shown here, so that you can trace where my teaching originates from, and see how close this is to the source of Reiki, preserving the legacy and integrity of this wonderful energy healing system.
I have personally experienced much healing and support from Reiki. I feel it is true to say, that you really do need to experience Reiki to understand its gentle power and how it can help.
Reiki & Energy Psychology – Science & FAQs
A. Yes. There have been over 200+ energy psychology studies published. 99 were randomised control trials, with 95 pre and post outcome studies. 99% of these studies show that the methods are effective.

A. Yes, the energy emanating from the hands of energy healers has been scientifically measured. The energy emanating from a physical body is 12Ghz – and this changes when energy healing is present.
(Baldwin, A. and Schwartz, G.E., “Personal Interaction with a Reiki Practitioner Decreases Noise-Induced Damage in An Animal Model”, Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, January 1, 2006.)
A. The controlled trial compared the energy in both healing practitioners and sham practitioners who were mimicking the trained healers. Oscillating energy of those doing real energy healing had a significant shift compared to the sham practitioners. The chance of this happening was 1 in million.

A. I prefer the term” Reiki Practitioner” It isn’t me that is healing, but the energy I am attuned to bring through to clients. As a client, the Reiki energy will link to your own and aid your own body to heal itself. I am a channel for the energy and hold a safe and ethical healing space to allow the right conditions for my clients to receive the numerous benefits of Reiki, EFT Tapping and time to talk through what they are struggling with.
A. A study in South Korea identified an entirely new system in the body, which hadn’t previously been located. This is called the “Primo Vascular System”. It corresponds very well with the meridian system. Researchers found that “transmission of Biophotons through this system, at the speed of light, may be the mysterious vital energy known as Qi in traditional Chinese medicine”.
A. In short, yes. An experiment where people placed intention on the items held in a box demonstrated how reality can be changed by both, on a quantum level. This was also conducted from a distance, with the same positive results and evidence to support this.

A. A study showed that those who got EFT(Tapping) saw their genes that had to do with strengthening the immune response were turned up, and the genes linked to inflammation were turned down. This shows that this is an Epigenetic intervention.
(The Energy Cure: Unraveling the Mystery of Hands-on Healing. Sounds True: Boulder Church, D., Yount, G., Rachlin, K., Fox L. and Nelms, J. (2015) “Epigenetic effects of PTSD remediation in veterans using clinical EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques): A randomized control trial”. Paper presented at the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology Conference, Reston, VA, May 30, 2015).
A. Yes, if you are open and willing to be a channel for the energy in an ethical and benevolent way.
Learning Reiki
Usui Shiki Ryoho, or the “Usui System of Natural Healing,” is a widely respected and traditional form of Reiki. This lineage-based approach emphasizes both healing and personal development. Key characteristics of Usui Shiki Ryoho include:
Structured Training and Certification – Practitioners and Masters undergo rigorous training and attunements to channel energy effectively.
Focus on Spiritual and Personal Growth – Usui Shiki Ryoho views Reiki not just as a healing practice, but as a path of self-discovery, towards stillness and healing in mind and body.
Established – With nearly a century of practice worldwide, Usui Shiki Ryoho has a rich history and tradition, a global following, and much research emphasizing its effectiveness.
