As a Reiki Master with knowledge of the Cranial Sacral principles, I combine Homeopathy with hands-on touch during every session. Homeopathy and Reiki are both forms of energy medicine, stimulating a response from the body's own vital life force — prana, chi — to return to a place of balance. Humans are energy incarnate into matter.

I am a yoga teacher, reiki master and homeopath.

My journey to energetic MINDBODY healing came after the birth of my very premature son. Orthodox medicine had been a literal life saver, but we'd reached a point of repeating life-threatening infections where orthodox medicine couldn't find a cause. I was desperate and ready to try anything, and we found the most amazing homeopath and energy healer.

Following that positive interaction and outcome, I started exploring further the power of alternative therapies and approaches to run alongside orthodox medicine. All three systems — yoga, reiki and homeopathy — follow the belief that the MINDBODY is one (as contemporary science agrees) but also honour that the ENERGY-BODY is stimulated by our Pranic / Vital Life Force energy.

All three systems of medicine also acknowledge the spirit of the being and its evolutionary journey in this lifetime.

Homeopathy is a system of energy medicine based on the core principles of "like cures like" and extreme dilutions — often beyond substance level — to stimulate an energetic response in the body. It was developed in the 1790s by German doctor Samuel Hahnemann, who was looking for a way to reduce the side effects of orthodox medicines.

Homeopathic treatment is extremely safe as the remedies are either vibrational in energy or, when in trace substance, are non-toxic. They can be used by babies, children and during pregnancy.

Homeopathy looks at the whole person, so the peculiarities and particularities of any physical or emotional issue will be explored alongside all other complaints and concerns. No two people's experience of dis-ease is the same, despite shared diagnostic labels.

Homeopathy can not only alleviate physical and emotional symptoms, helping a person return to balance — it is my experience and belief that it has the power to evolve our very being.

Reiki, as defined by the Oxford English dictionary, is a healing technique based on the principle that the therapist can channel energy into the patient by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the patient's body and restore physical and emotional well-being.

The Japanese word 'reiki' literally translates as universal life force energy.

The reiki system of healing was developed by Mikao Usui in the early 20th century. It is a non-invasive, complementary therapy that has been taught and used in the UK since the late 1900s, although Eastern medicine has for thousands of years worked with this energy, recognising its flow through all living things.

Reiki supports orthodox medicine or can be used alone but is not a replacement for traditional medication or treatments.

From the UK Reiki Federation

Homeopathy and reiki stimulate the body's energetic system, promoting releases within the emotional and physical MINDBODY and supporting healing at a much deeper, whole-person level.

Both can safely be used alongside orthodox medicine — which typically treats a specific area of the body rather than the person as a whole — supporting the individual's experience of dis-ease as it manifests for them.

The body is our temple and is always trying to show us the way home to wholeness when dis-ease arises. What haven't we been listening to in ourselves, or what events have triggered our body's manifestations of dis-ease as cries for change — in our physical, mental or emotional environments?

Prior to the first consultation, a client questionnaire needs to be completed outlining the main point of dis-ease as well as a full medical history and any major life traumas or changes.

During the appointment I ask follow-up questions from the questionnaire to gather more information about the whole person. Once enough information has been gathered, you are invited to lie face up on a treatment couch with your shoes off for reiki. I place my hands on the shoulders, under the head and the ankles during the treatment so that I can feel the body.

Remedies will be posted or can be collected by the client at a later date.
