We all get to a stage in our lives, often several stages over the course of our lives, where we need a change of direction. After teaching Reiki since 2006, I’ve decided I need to change the way I do things. I’ve been running one to two group Reiki workshops for the last few years and I’ve loved every minute of it, and still do. But after this year of group workshop dates wrap up, I’ll no longer be setting…
