Studying Reiki changed my life. I am an empath, I feel things deeply, you may know this type of person as a HSP – a highly sensitive person or Clairsentient, meaning clear feeling in French.

Ever since I was young I have picked up on the energy of a room, or emotions of a person, I just knew things. Which is confusing as a child when adults tell you one thing, like “it will be ok or I’m ok”, but really their energy says something else.

If you know my story, you know I am passionate about art and photography, I studied Visual Art at University, and a lot of my work spoke about the mind body connection. Again following my passion, I looked for a holistic therapy to study to make sense of my world. I found Shiatsu and Traditional Chinese Medicine, my teachers would say “Feel the Chi flowing” and I was like WHAT THE?

They suggested I do a Reiki course

I was blown away, I loved it, Reiki changed my life! It confirmed for me everything I felt to be true about myself and the world. That we are made from energy, I am not crazy, I can really feel things and know things.

If this sounds like you, or a version of you, then perhaps you are a healer. We all have the ability to do this sacred work, it’s up to you if you choose to engage that part of you and practice the healing arts.

I encourage all parents, carers or people with elderly parents to learn. Reiki is a gift we can offer our loved ones when words aren’t enough. You don’t have to work as a healer or even practice on others. Reiki is a gift to heal and connect deeply with yourself, others and the world around you. A beautiful, gentle, loving spiritual practice to connect with divine energy of God and Gaia, Source or the Universal Energy Field.
