Hello

I had a number of health issues in my 20's and 30's that led to three surgeries. The allopathic pathway had no answers and was seemingly exacerbating my symptoms; my quality of life was sub-maximal to say the least. Disillusioned and feeling very fed up with always feeling poorly, I began to look for answers elsewhere and sought out a number of Holistic methodologies. My health gradually began to improve, and I started to feel more reconnected with myself and my energy.

​

Energy doesn't die, it is abundant and ready to be tapped into at any given moment. We are all connected to the Universe, in every way. My journey back to full and vibrant health eventually bought me to Reiki. My first session was a very profound experience; I left feeling lighter and more spacious. I realised at this point how much I had been hanging onto emotionally; all that grief, sadness, worry, guilt etc. It was as if a veil had been lifted and the sunlight had hit my face again.

​

From this point onwards old injuries rectified themselves, I was able to pursue lost hobbies and past times again. My general well-being and resistance to fatigue also improved; held emotions lifted and I felt a freedom of vitality that is hard to describe. I felt more whole than I could remember feeling for a very long time. Indeed the sun was shining, both from the inside and out.

​

Not long after this I studied Reiki I, quickly followed by Reiki II - my life changed for the better, relationships improved, I was happier and full of gratitude, I have not looked back since. A year later I studied the first of my Reiki Master courses. These first three Reiki courses were aligned to the Western methodology of Reiki.  The lineage - Usui Shiki Ryoho. These three courses were enlightening and inspiring and instrumental in my hunger to learn more. My Mentor and Teacher was Tosh Brittan, a very gifted Healer and Spiritual Guru. My desire and interest to discover more about, and delve deeper into personal practice led me to discover that Reiki was a whole lot more than 'Hands on Healing'.

 

After reading a lot of literature that threw up further questions I discovered the work of Frans Steine of The International House of Reiki. Frans has spent decades researching the philosophy of Japanese Reiki and the intentions of Mikao Usui. Fascinated and truly intrigued by what I was discovering, I signed up for a four day retreat with Frans. Before lunch time on that first day, the decision was made to re-do my Reiki Master - Teacher Training with Frans to investigate the Japanese esoteric methodologies further, the lineage - Usui Reiki Ryoho. Many of the questions that remained unanswered were answered, it was a beautiful experience to feel the pieces of the jigsaw coming together. I continue to further my practice with Frans and attend his retreats annually. I also practice the Reiki Way daily through meditation, chanting and hands on healing.

​

The Reiki journey is an ongoing process, there is always a new 'direct experience' waiting for your focus and attention in the cosmos; one that guides you to understand exactly who you are - consciousness, a beautiful being of light full of love and compassion just waiting to be set free from the shackles of modern day life. To re-connect.......

​

Every journey is personal.

Thankyou for taking the time to read my story.....
