Reiki is a Japanese system of spiritual practice and natural wellbeing, founded by Mikao Usui in the early twentieth century. The word Reiki translates as spiritual energy — our true essence. It is not something outside of us that we channel; it is something we are.
My approach is rooted in Traditional Japanese Usui Reiki Ryōhō. Rather than treating Reiki simply as a complementary therapy, I hold it as a complete spiritual practice — one that begins with cultivating presence, compassion, and awareness within oneself.
When you become deeply established in your own practice, your presence naturally supports those around you.
With over 30 years of experience across both the Western (Usui-Takata) and Traditional Japanese lineages, I completed Usui Reiki Ryoho Shinpiden (Master Teacher) training with Frans Stiene at the International House of Reiki. I am a Verified Practitioner with the Reiki Council and registered with the CNHC.
The Five Precepts of Reiki
Just for today…
Do not anger.
Do not worry.
Be grateful.
Work honestly.
Be kind.
These five principles sit at the heart of the system of Reiki.
Your session takes place in my peaceful treatment room in Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire. We begin with a confidential consultation to discuss your intentions and any areas you would like support with. You remain fully clothed, resting comfortably, while I place my hands lightly on or just above your body.
The aim is to support the body’s natural return to balance — calming the nervous system, releasing tension, and cultivating a deep sense of inner stillness. You may feel warmth, tingling, or simply a profound sense of rest. Some people notice shifts in their emotional state; others simply feel deeply relaxed.
Some people come for a single session to rest and reconnect, while others choose a series of treatments to support them through periods of stress, change or recovery.
If you're new to Reiki, I generally recommend beginning with three sessions, spaced around one to two weeks. This allows us to build on each session and observe how your body, mind and nervous system respond over time.
From there, we'll create a session plan that feels right for you.
Distance Sessions
Reiki is not limited by physical space. I also offer remote sessions, allowing you to receive the full benefits of a treatment from the comfort of your own home — whether you are in Harpenden,
St Albans, Hertfordshire, or anywhere in the world.
