Reiki

“Reiki” is a Japanese word meaning “Universal Energy”, or “a key to Universal Energy”.  ‘Ki’ or ‘Chi’ is an Eastern term for the energy that flows through all living things.  Its balanced flow in our energy field is vital to our health and well-being. 

Reiki healing is a simple, but effective method of energy work and personal development, developed by Mikao Usui in the early 20th Century.  It is a deeply relaxing, gentle therapy that is suitable for everyone. Many physical and emotional problems can helped by Reiki.  During a Reiki session the client relaxes fully clothed on a treatment couch and I place my hands gently on or just above the body. 

With gently focused intent I allow Universal Energy to flow through me, via my hands, to the client’s body and energy field.  Only as much energy as the client needs will be channelled, making Reiki appropriate for anyone of any age.

Shamanic Energy Medicine (Student Practitioner)

I am currently studying with The Four Winds Society to become a Shamanic Energy Healer.  Shamanism is the most ancient form of healing practice and every culture has its shamanic traditions.  Four Winds Society teaches practices that their founder, Alberto Villoldo, developed with his mentor during his many years of working with the South American shamans and their traditions.

The techniques taught by Four Winds work effectively to clear old, heavy energies and imprints (the energetic memories of trauma) from the Luminous Energy Field.  This helps us to release behaviours that continue to repeat in our lives, as well as releasing emotional memories that we find it difficult to let go of; old feelings such as grief, anger and fear.  I currently use the Illumination Process, based on the practice of the Q’uero shamans of Peru, and the Extraction Process, as well as Sand-Painting, De-coupling and Fire Ceremony.
