Reiki  

I am a Reiki Master Teacher Practitioner and have been trained since 2000. Reiki addresses you as a whole, rather than targeting individual symptoms.  It can create subtle but meaningful shifts from deep within your own being. On the outside looking in, a Reiki treatment might appear to be merely a series of hand placements but it works to restore balance on the deepest possible level, which may result in the resolution of some health problems, a change in beliefs and attitudes, the ability to make decision that have been put off or ignored and the realisation of one’s true values and priorities in life.  

Trauma, dysregulated nervous system, mental and emotional health, deep relaxation and balance.

£60 per session – 1 hour  

Add an extra 30 minutes of Crystal Singing Bowls for £20

A course of three sessions is recommended for specific objectives.

Please note that any non arrivals or same day cancellations will incur a 50% charge (proven medical emergencies are exempt from this).  If your enquiry or booking is made through the website enquiry page you will have been expected to understand the above policy and will be charged accordingly. All consultation and assessment forms will have the cancellation policy included. New clients will need to pay in advance for first session.
