When I met Lyn in March 2025, she had been agoraphobic for around 5 years and barely left her room during that time. 🥺 She was estranged from her family, had survived abusive relationships, was living with complex PTSD after significant grief and loss, had very little support outside of her doctor and psychologist, and certainly wasn’t living the life she wanted. We initially had a video call to discuss her needs and a way forward. She has since…
(I honestly thought I was going to be bored out of my brain!) Years ago now, when I was still a freshie living in Perth, my friend Mandy took me to Freo for a huge group sound healing. 🎶 I’d been doing energy work for years by then and I’d gone through phases of meditating, but hadn’t yet realised my preferred style of meditation is much more active than passive. 🧘🏼♀️ So I remember thinking, “Wow, how am I…
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…

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…
