My work today as a Reiki practitioner and sound healer has its foundations in my career as a professional singer and singing teacher, and also my interest in people which I pursued through a psychology degree. Whilst working in the music business I realised not only the incredible power of music but also the ability of sound to heal and transform. This awareness, together with my desire to help people, drew me to holistic therapies and I did my first Reiki Master training in 2014, followed by my Sound Therapy training in 2015. Whilst practicing and offering treatments with both these modalities, I became interested in the origins of Reiki. I attended a course in 2022 at The Reiki Academy in London which introduced me to some of the elements of the traditional Japanese style of Reiki. After this I looked for a Reiki Teacher working in the Eastern tradition and found Frans Steine and The International House of Reiki. Attending the Shinpiden course with Frans in 2024 taught me that Reiki is so much more than a hands-on-healing complimentary therapy, although this aspect of Reiki alone can have beautiful benefits. Focusing on all five elements of Reiki and bringing them into daily life can be empowering; it allows you an active role in your own healing and self development, as you open up and reconnect with your own true nature and vast boundless light within.  With this focus I have been able to incorporate aspects of my sound healing, along with my earlier mindfulness training, into my Reiki work. Consequently I now feel my energy to be more free-flowing which enables more intensive treatments and believe that the simplicity of the Japanese style of Reiki allows it to work at a deep and transformative level. This can be solely from a hands-on-healing perspective of finding balance and unity within or, if you wish, also as a personal development, enabling its teachings to show you a way of being.

 

I am a member of the UK Reiki Federation and my focus nowadays is offering Reiki treatments and teaching from the Eastern tradition of Reiki. I love the transformative power of Reiki and supporting clients and students in their healing process. Watching as their energy realigns and strengthens which in turn enables them to reconnect with their true self, others and the universe is a real privilege. I also enjoy running my monthly Reiki Shares at The Subud Hall in Brecon; it is always a joy to be in a room of those attuned to Reiki. I still though believe absolutely in the power of sound, which is why I continue to offer sound bath treatments for both individuals and groups, an hour of being cocooned in sound can be a beautiful, relaxing and invigorating experience.
