In around 2016, I attended a volunteering day at the RUAH homeless centre in Northbridge, where I gave Reiki treatments to the centre’s patrons, alongside a few other volunteers. I used to work at RUAH Mental Health for a few years and they’re an amazing organisation. It was really good to give back to clients in a volunteering capacity using energy work. 🙌🏻 During one of the breaks I sat on the sofa next to a guy who I discovered…
When I started learning Reiki almost 21 years ago now, I was also learning Health Kinesiology. I studied three levels of HK, each level was a four-day workshop that included significant practice time during and after the course. There were 10 levels altogether plus many other required courses like Touch For Health and anatomy. 🫁 There were also loads of tools you had to buy, so the cost of the courses and the tools amounted to a huge expense.…
I started using healing and personal development tools in my early twenties. For a lot of that time I wasn’t that flush with money and for some of it, in loads of debt. 😬 In my business (coaching, energy work and teaching Reiki), a big issue for a lot of people is wanting to heal but saying they can’t afford to. But there is SO much you can do completely for free. 🤗 I’m constantly giving out my free…
When I taught my very first Reiki student over 20 years ago, I had no idea that one day I’d train more than 420 people in Reiki or that I’d keep going for as long as I have. I’m a Gemini and am always interested in learning so many things, often at the same time! I was learning loads of other things when I started Reiki. 🧑🎓 I definitely didn’t have some grand master plan and I never went…
I’ve been practicing energy work and teaching Reiki for over 20 years now, and I see keeping on top of my energy hygiene as being as important as brushing my teeth and showering every day. 🚿 🪥 WHAT IS ENERGY HYGIENE? It’s the regular practices you use to keep your energy, mood, nervous system, physical and mental health and emotional state clear, grounded, and not bogged down by everyone else’s shite. If I hadn’t kept on top of my…
I often come across Reiki students who are chomping at the bit to learn as much as they can about healing and personal development. I’ll be teaching them Reiki one day and they mention they’ve just learned reflexology, next minute they’re learning tarot, they’re going for a 4 day retreat, doing a bunch of other healing techniques one after the other to “heal” themselves. I don’t blame them – when I first got into this world I was soooo…
