When I first started working for myself (and for many years into my biz, to be honest), I made myself available to my clients WAY more than I should have. Back then I was a “helper” type, which I still am, but a helper type without boundaries means having zero boundaries on your time, space and energy and easily shifting from helper into rescuer/enabler. 🫣 When you’re always available for calls, texts, voice notes, the “can I pick your…
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…
Imagine a world where we’re all taught how to regulate our emotions as kids, see our problems from a different perspective or as growth opportunities, and to have compassion and non-judgement for others. 🌍 A world where we process trauma as it happens, not when we hit a mid-life crisis.

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…
One of my favourite quotes is “some souls leave behind a trail of light that is never forgotten. ✨ I’m always saying to my Reiki students that I imagine we all leave a sparkly trail of light energy wherever we go. How positive (or negative) that energy is, is up to you. 🌀 The clearer we can keep our energy, and the higher we keep our vibration, the better – not just for us, but for…
