My Reiki Journey

My journey with reiki began a few years ago when I attended an introduction to reiki class one evening.

I decided almost immediately that I wanted to learn more about this modality, with the universe conspiring to allow me to attend the Usui Level 1 training only a few days later, and Level 2 around a year later.

Developing My Reiki Practice

Originally I was drawn to Reiki for self-healing, a big focus of Level 1 especially, seeing it as a way to have more autonomy over my spiritual journey, but little by little, I began offering reiki to others through reiki shares, practising with friends and family, and even offering reiki to my mum's dog whenever I was home for a weekend (she's definitely a big fan!).

Exploring Different Reiki Traditions

I was later drawn to Angelic Reiki (trained to Level 2), and to Holy Fire 3 & World Peace Reiki (trained to Master Teacher Level), with all three different types of reiki working together, while training with three different teachers allowed me to expand my perspectives and understanding of how reiki can work, and how to use it with clients, as well as in my every day life.

Crystal Healing

Since then, I've also completed IPHM accredited Foundation and Advanced Practitioner trainings in Crystal Healing, allowing me to integrate this into my reiki practice as well as working in a more focused way with crystals and their unique energies.

Cacao & Astrology

I’ve also recieved a certificate in Cacao Ceremony Facilitation (CMA accredited) and studied working with astrology in depth, with a specific focus on lunar energy, and I'm excited to begin offering cacao ceremonies and moon/women's circles locally in the near future.

Supporting Clients

My main motivation working with clients reflects my original reasons for studying reiki - I want to empower others on their own journey, whether that be supporting you on your spiritual path, or just in your every day life; offering you a space to pause, relax, reflect and come back to your centre, with reiki, cacao and crystals being perfect tools to help with this.

Continuing My Learning

I'm currently studying sound healing and sound bath facilitation, as well as taking part in a year long Hatha yoga teacher training (due to finish June 2027).
