What is reiki?

Reiki is a Japanese healing modality that works by healing the seven chakras. This happens by placing the hands on these areas over clothing to balance the chakras and overall energy.  It works on a physical, emotional and spiritual level, although you do not need to understand this to receive the healing.

What happens in a reiki session?

1. We have a 5 minute chat to begin

2. Then I spend 35 minutes using reiki to heal all of the chakras and focus on where you need healing most

3. We have a 10 minute debrief chat and I feedback images, symbols and messages I have for you

4. NOTE: for reiki and coaching combined, there will be an additional 10 minutes to allow 20 minutes for coaching activities

How does a life coaching session work?

This is a step to take to heal the issues in your life and helps you move forward and set and achieve your goals.  Just three sessions can set the wheels in motion for profound life changes and help you to evaluate your life in ways you may not have thought of.

An example session:

1. We have a 5 minute chat to determine a goal for you, using relevant questionnaires or pre-session information

2. We work through strategies to help you reframe or move forward with your goal

3. We discuss any blocks or limiting beliefs

4. I set you ‘homework’ of additional reading/watching materials that will support your growth or activities that will accelerate your goal

5. I follow up with an email check in to keep you on track and help me prepare for our next session

NOTE: Life coaching is best done in blocks of 3 sessions as a minimum. I believe in giving you as much information as possible as quickly as possible, but at a pace to suit you, You can also opt for email or online coaching or even walk and talk sessions in your lunch breaks.

How do group life coaching sessions work?

As above but with other people around you who are also working on their goals. You can choose to share or not share your ideas and book one-to-one sessions in addition to group sessions.

What happens in a combined reiki and life coaching session?

We begin with the coaching activities and spend around half the time on reiki healing. This is a powerful way to work on issues in a holistic manner.

What is a wellbeing workshop?

Wellbeing workshops are monthly events where I collaborate with local yoga teacher and reiki practitioner Hannah to provide an afternoon of goal-setting, information and relaxation with like-minded people. Please see ‘Services’ for more details. Spaces are limited.

Do I need to know anything about reiki to have a session?

Absolutely not - I can give you an idea but it transcends description, really. People often have profound experiences and feel deeply relaxed - like having a few drinks but without the hangover. I can tell you as much as you’d like to know and send you reading materials too.

What is a reiki attunement?

Reiki attunements are transformative ceremonies that open the energy channels within an individual, allowing them to connect more deeply with universal life force energy. The process unfolds in three distinct stages.

The first stage is the First Degree, or Shoden, which introduces the student to reiki and focuses on self-healing and hands-on techniques. During this stage, the attunement activates the energy flow, giving the person the ability to channel reiki for themselves and others.

The second stage, the Second Degree, or Okuden, enhances this connection and introduces the use of sacred symbols and mantras, enabling practitioners to direct energy across time and space for distance healing.

The final stage is the Third Degree, or Shinpiden, often called the Master level. Here, individuals deepen their spiritual practice and gain the ability to teach and attune others, embodying reiki as a way of life.

Each stage is unique and profound, offering opportunities for growth, healing and spiritual exploration. It’s like embarking on a journey where every step enriches your connection to yourself and the world around you.

NOTE: Not everyone decides to do all three but the option is there. I am currently attuning people from July 2025 to reiki levels one and two.
