I am a Reiki Master with numerous Reiki lineages. However, my main practice revolves around Holy Fire Reiki.I practice and teach Reiki on both a one-to-one basis, and also with groups. So, unusually for a Reiki practitioner I can offer Reiki healing to any size of group, which is ideal for businesses or corporate organisation who are looking for alternate ways of helping their staff and colleagues to deal with stress and anxiety.I also regularly perform group Reiki healing at various different venues outside of the corporate world.As part of the group Reiki sessions I can, and usually do, incorporate a discourse around the origins of Reiki and what it is. Wherever possible I like this to be conducted in an open forum style to allow people to ask questions and get the most out of the experience.Please message me for details of pricing and availability.

I am an independent distributor for Life Vantage.Life Vantage are a Nutrigenomics company who have a unique, scientifically proven and patented set of products that combat the effects of aging. For more information please see the following links:

I started to study to be a Reiki Practitioner in the first half 2016 and became a practitioner in November of the same year.I was drawn to Reiki after I had personal experience of Reiki helping me with Anxiety and Depression and saw working with Reiki as an opportunity to help people who were suffering with a similar maledy.I aim to develop my Reiki practice and to suppliment it with other complementary practices such as massage and reflexology.
