Hello, I'm so glad 
you're here!

My healing journey

In August 2021, I was at my wits' end. For those who can relate to IBS (Irritable bowel syndrome), you can sympathise with sensations happening in the lower tummy. Sometimes feeling like there is a cannon trying to blast its way out. I needed a solution that didn't include pumping medicine into my system that came with a whole host of other symptoms I really didn't need.

At a family event, I got talking with my Great Aunty. She told me about a wonderful woman in Rochdale and her amazing skills relating to alternative healing methods. I was sceptical but interested.

My Aunty explained, "...if it wasn't for Reiki, then I would never have known about the cancer...". It was during one of her Reiki sessions that the practitioner explained they'd felt a strange energy in my Aunty's chest area and that she should go to the Dr for a check-up.

Turned out to be breast cancer. It was caught early enough that treatment was straightforward and the cancer is now gone. I was intrigued and had to know more.

I acquired the telephone number of this magical healer woman, contacted her and booked an appointment right away. I had no idea what to expect but I was excited!

I arrived at her house and was welcomed with open arms. The process was clearly explained and before long I was on the massage bed, cosy under a heated blanket, with my eyes closed. Calming music and the smell of citrus filled the room, allowing me to relax into the experience.

At first, I just lay there enjoying the comfort of my environment but not really feeling anything. After a short while, a tingling sensation started in my right foot and made its way up my leg. My excitement at being able to feel the healing energy enter my body made me want to laugh out loud. My first instinct was to laugh, my thought process was to hold it in and not ruin the experience by breaking the calmness with my hysterics... Following my thoughts was a mistake.

I felt wonderful at the end of the session and vowed to return for more. Before I left, the practitioner explained she wasn't able to work to her full potential during the session. I asked why. She explained, "...At some point during the healing, you blocked the energy flow..." I was gobsmacked, I hadn't done any such thing, at least not willingly.

All I had done was relax and enjoy the experience. I felt wonderfully calm, and even noticed that my tummy felt better after just one session!

Then the practitioner asked me, “Did you put up any energy barriers?” I remember thinking, What on earth is an energy barrier? And how do you even put one up? She paused and asked, “Hmm... did you stop yourself from doing something?”

It turned out that, without even realising it, I had been holding back. By stopping myself from laughing naturally, I had been preventing myself from fully letting go and allowing the experience to unfold. It was such a simple yet powerful moment of realisation, and one that stayed with me long after the session ended.

The Reiki worked so well that I decided to become a Reiki student. I wanted to not only be able to practice this skill for myself but to help others too. In April 2023, I completed my Reiki Level 1. July 2023, I completed my Reiki Level 2 and in August 2026, I completed my training to become a Reiki Master. The training is passed down the lineage from Dr Mikao Usui, I am 9th in my lineage line. It is an honour to be part of such an amazing lineage, and I look forward to using this sacred gift to support others on their own healing journeys.
