How I can help you to experience and learn about Reiki.
My Reiki Journey
People often talk about their reiki journey spanning a lifetime once started. My first experience was with Western Reiki in 2006. I completed Level 1 followed by Level 2 a couple of years later.
I set up a Reiki treatment room at home giving treatments to family, friends, and acquaintances. I volunteered with a local Hospice as a Reiki Practitioner and went on to treat clients. I enjoyed this time, learning as I was giving treatments, and my know-how and confidence grew.
In 2018 I discovered Jikiden Reiki and knew that this was the next stage on my Reiki path. I retrained in its discipline, joining Shoden and Okuden training in 2018. I knew that I wanted to teach as well as practice Jikiden Reiki, and my background gave me some of the skills to do that. My experience of teaching began as a swimming teacher and coach in Australia and combined with over twenty years in U.K. retail management provided me with essential skills in training and mentoring.
Travel has always been a passion leading me to complete a CELTA qualification to teach English abroad. Though I never taught overseas, I found myself teaching English as a second language at home in Yorkshire.
I loved the grounding, simplicity and effectivness of Jikiden Reiki. Having found something special it was natural to want to share it and so I took the teaching level of Shihan Kaku in 2021 and Shihan in 2022. I have found that keeping it authentic and simple works best for me.
As a Jikiden Reiki Practitioner and Teacher I strive to live each day according to the Gokai - the five Principles of Reiki founder Mikao Usui, simple yet profound. If you are curious, follow the link here.
Connecting with a compatible teacher is crucial for our learning and growth in any subject. Reflect on your previous learning experiences; we thrive with the right guidance. I hope you will consider me as a potential guide on your Reiki journey.
I look forward to meeting you through Reiki.
