About me
I am a Level 2 Reiki therapist, having embarked on my healing journey with Level 1 training in 2012. Over the years, I have deepened my understanding and practice, dedicating myself to the art of energy healing. As a parent to two wonderful children and a caretaker of numerous animals, I appreciate the profound connection between well-being, balance, and harmony in all aspects of life.
Reiki offers a gentle yet powerful approach to promoting physical, emotional, and spiritual healing. It works by channeling universal life energy to stimulate the body’s natural ability to restore itself, reduce stress, and foster relaxation. Whether supporting recovery, alleviating anxiety, or simply encouraging a sense of peace and clarity, Reiki is a holistic practice that honours the unique journey of every individual. My mission is to guide others towards this restorative experience, helping to nurture their inner strength and vitality.
what is Reiki?
Reiki: An Ancient Energy Healing Art Bridging East and West
Reiki, at its essence, is a spiritual-based practice rooted in the transmission of universal life energy through the hands. Originating in early 20th-century Japan, it was developed by Mikao Usui, who sought a method to promote healing and balance by aligning the body’s energy fields. Its foundations draw from Shinto beliefs, a spiritual tradition emphasizing harmony with nature and the flow of life energy, or ki.
In Shinto and other Eastern philosophies, the concept of energy flowing through all living beings is central. Reiki channels this energy to support physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. While inherently spiritual, Reiki transcends specific religious frameworks, making it inclusive and non-denominational — a quality that has contributed to its seamless adoption across diverse cultures.
As Reiki migrated westward, it evolved not only in practice but in its integration into contemporary wellness paradigms. Western Reiki practitioners often blend traditional hand placements and meditative techniques with modern understandings of anatomy and psychology. It’s widely recognized today as a complementary therapy, employed in hospitals and wellness centers across the globe.
Scientific curiosity about Reiki has grown significantly. Peer-reviewed studies indexed on platforms like PubMed offer evidence supporting its role in reducing stress, enhancing relaxation, and promoting recovery. These findings have bolstered Reiki’s reputation, not as a mystical cure-all, but as a valuable adjunct to conventional medicine.
Reiki’s power lies in its simplicity and universality — a reminder that healing begins with the flow of energy and intention. Whether embraced in the corridors of ancient Shinto shrines, Buddhist practice or modern healthcare institutions, Reiki continues to inspire balance, peace, and a profound connection to life’s unseen currents.
Lineage & Gratitude
With profound gratitude, I honour the Reiki lineages that have shaped and deepened my healing practice. I am honoured to carry two distinct streams of this sacred art, each enriching the energy I share in unique and transformative ways.
The first lineage is rooted in the Western tradition of Reiki, reflecting the modern adaptations and teachings that have broadened its accessibility and impact. This lineage, nurtured under the expert guidance of Laetitia Latham Jones, connects profoundly to the legacy fostered by Taggart King and the continuing work of his company, Reiki Evolution. It is through this lineage that I have been entrusted with a vibrant and evolving expression of Reiki’s healing potential.
Complementing this is the Eastern lineage which is also carried through my training with Reiki evolution. This flows directly from the enlightened teachings of Suzuki San—a Tendai Buddhist nun who trained with Sensei Usui and lived to over a century. Her intimate connection to the ancient Tendai wisdom imparts a pure and profound depth that beautifully balances the Western approach.
The convergence of these two lineages within my practice allows me to offer a synthesis of Reiki that honours both the enduring traditions and the natural evolution of this art. I hold immense respect and gratitude for all the teachers and spiritual bearers whose dedication has preserved and expanded this healing energy, enabling me to serve with integrity, grace, and heartfelt commitment.
