About me
My journey into Reiki was very unexpected and sort of crept up on me, In 1998 I was working in Sheffield and having a hard time coping with lots of change in my life when my fiend Lisa said sit down I am going to give you a treatment? Being an inquisitive sole I did as I was told & experienced something that I still describe as a light bulb moment and I can honestly say from that moment onward I just found all of the blocks of my life slotting into place.
After many more treatments and more intense experiences with reiki I wanted to know more and started to read more about its origins. I think at that point I had the need to take my Reiki journey further and asked my friend how I go about leaning Reiki for myself. Turned out my friend Lisa was a Reiki Master Teacher, I immediately started studying for my Reiki level one with her. My first Reiju Empowerment was something else and I rushed home to reiki my dog, believe me when I say I have never has such a chilled out and relaxed dog.
After what seems a little bit life changing I began to understand my purpose and that helped me find a path to a life surrounded by Reiki. I moved to Kent and wanted to take my journey in Reiki deeper, So I sort out a Reiki Master Teacher who I jelled with and I trained in Reiki two ( Okuden) with Reiki Evolution and the lovely Kay Gillard. That deepening journey and the ability to start to offer treatments to other was another moment I can never forget and stays with me today.
I decided to set up my own Reiki clinic in Kent and The Reiki Practice was born I spent the next five years offering Reiki treatments to clients and carried on deepening my Reiki journey. I set up a regular Reiki share with some lovely like minded reiki folk in Kent and made some wonderful life long friends along the way.
I was still living in Kent but spending lots of time in the New Forest which I think was all part of my Reiki journey and learning how to become more grounded. I guess it was an inevitable part of my Reiki journey that I would want to train to be a Reiki Master Teacher myself, I had always found the Reiki Evolution site a wealth of knowledge on everything Reiki, So I searched for a Reiki Master Teacher near the New Forest and was drawn to the lovely Annie Bellows a Reiki Master Teacher who guided my through my own Reiki Master Teacher training.
Throughout my Reiki journey I have grown as a person and being able to support other on their own journey, I now live in beautiful Northern Ireland and own The Happy Mind Studio where I now teach Reiki, Mindfulness Meditation and advanced Reflexology.
Reiki Courses in Northern Ireland
My own courses are run regularly and are small, relaxed and friendly. I teach in a relaxed and friendly style which I find I encourage my students to be more focussed on the learning process. I like to be a first point of contact for all of my students from the day that they embark on their own reiki journey, I will always be there for them and be on that journey far into the future. I generally will only teach four students at a time but more than happy to teach on a one two one basis also.
The courses are help in the most stunning location in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh close to the Republic of Ireland. I also travel and hold courses in Belfast and Derry/Londonderry.
Reiki Shares
I have two different Reiki shares which any of my students can join, Monthly online Reiki share via Zoom and a Reiki Shares locally once a month. Should any on my students prefer to mee for a mini share I like to be as flexible as I can be and hold ad hoc shares when I can.
Can Anyone Learn Reiki?
I have always found that Reiki Evolution support and materials enable anyone to learn Reiki. I always say to my students always bring an open mind and allow what they learn to shape them. When I look back and see how reiki has changed my own life I want others to experience that. What I love about Reiki is that it dose not have to be complicated.
The gift of Reiki can suit anyone and nurture them on their own journey. I honestly think that without Reiki supporting me on my own journey it would have been far more turbulent, I would love you to experience that kind of support from this beautiful energy.
I find that people come into my own life with a familiarity or unknown link, Almost like we “just know each other” That link is lifelong.
