More About Kim

"From childhood I have always been interested in helping people, and all my work has been involved with what you might call “the caring professions”.  My interest in health and the real causes of illness began early on in life and continues today.

I began my working life as a Medical Secretary, and later trained as a midwife.  When my son was diagnosed with autism in the mid-1990s this heralded a great change in my life.  I needed more time to spend with him, and my work needed to fit round my family commitments.  I took up the interest in complementary therapies that had begun in my student midwifery days with my dissertation entitled “Homoeopathy for Pregnancy and Childbirth”.  Energy therapies, including homoeopathy, Reiki, crystal therapy and Energy Field Healing have proved to be of enormous help to all my family.

I qualified as a Crystal Therapist in 1998 and as a Reiki practitioner in 2000.   My teaching began around the same time when I was asked to teach anatomy and physiology to aromatherapy students, which I did for several years.  I trained as a Reiki Teacher in 2001 and began teaching Reiki the year after.  In 2004 I began teaching Reiki for Adult (Community) Education at the Tamworth Campus of Tamworth and Lichfield College (now part of the South Staffordshire College).  I am also an occasional Visiting Lecturer at the University of Wolverhampton where I teach about crystals and energy work on the Complementary Therapy Degree Course.

Over the years my sensitivity to energy developed and I began to sense colours and textures in the energy field; sometimes emotions or words as well.  My hands wanted to move, which is not part of traditional Reiki work, and I began to clear away the old, stuck energy I was sensing.  Sometimes I felt chakras that were damaged or stuck together and I worked on these, or on the outer layers of the energy field.  I felt I needed to progress my training to encompass these developing skills, and so in 2008 I trained as an Energy Field Healer, and began my training as a Shamanic Healer. I completed the Advanced Energy Field Healing Diploma in April 2009.

The Human Energy Field is endlessly fascinating to me.  I continue to be interested in why people become ill and how they might best be helped, and help themselves, to improve their health and sense of well-being.  Over the last 10 years I have come to understand that there is almost always an emotional aspect to physical illness, and that people may need different therapies at different times in their lives.  Optimum nutrition and sensible supplements are also part of the picture, and I encourage my clients to consider these aspects of their lives.

I practice what I teach, and enjoy taking good care of my physical and emotional health.  At home we use homoeopathy as a first port of call for almost any health problem, and I treat my husband and my son energetically.  I have energy work regularly myself, to help keep my own energy field balanced and clear.  I encourage my students to follow this example.

For relaxation I love reading.  I also enjoy studying Spiritual Astrology and attending TaijiQigong classes, as well as gardening and walking."
