Learn the art of reiki

Hello lovely one,

I’m Kate!

Reiki Master & Teacher and former Occupational Therapist with a background in the mental health.

Alongside my Reiki practice, I bring years of experience working in clinical spaces and as a healing arts practitioner, drawing on somatic and embodiment approaches.

My work sits at the intersection of the nervous system and the unseen world of the mystic. I have a particular interest in the ways our nervous system responds to stress and trauma, how we experience and process emotion through the body, and what supports us to return to connection and presence.

My approach is trauma-informed and grounded in an understanding of the body and how the nervous system processes stress & traumatic experiences.

This means your Reiki training is supported through a deep awareness of the nervous system, embodiment and the lived experience of the body, while also honouring Reiki as an intuitive and energetic practice.

My intention is to create a fun & relaxed training space where you can develop not only your understanding and practice of Reiki, but also your capacity to listen deeply - to yourself, to others, to the body and to what lies beyond what we can see.

Reiki to me is the art of deep listening. I see Reiki as a gateway to your higher self - your deep intuition, where you can access your own wisdom and learn to trust that healing comes from within. Your body is innately intelligent and has the capacity to self heal - and Reiki simply shows the mind, body & spirit the way.

While you will learn the traditional foundations of Usui Reiki, my approach is intuitive centred on embodiment, nervous system awareness, and developing trust in your own inner experience.

Drawing on my work as both an Occupational Therapist and practitioner in the healing arts, I bring a trauma-informed, person-centred lens to Reiki training.

For me, Reiki is one of the most profound practices of embodiment. Through attunement to the life force energy that is Reiki, we begin to attune to our nervous system, & build greater internal awareness of our sensations, intuition, emotions, energy, and inner knowing. Rather than looking outside ourselves for healing & answers, Reiki invites us into a deeper relationship with our own wisdom & the capacity to heal ourselves.

Throughout my career, I have supported people navigating chronic stress, complex mental & physical health challenges & life transitions. I also bring my own lived experience of being a highly sensitive soul with a history of navigating chronic health issues. This experience deeply informs the way I teach. I am interested not only in helping you understand Reiki, but in helping you develop the capacity to listen to yourself with greater clarity, compassion, and trust.

This is why I offer training as an intimate one-to-one experience. I believe each person’s journey deserves individual attention, support, and space to unfold at its own pace. Our time together is tailored to you - your questions, your experiences, your interests and your pace.

Whether you are seeking Reiki for self-healing, personal growth, spiritual connection, or to support loved ones, my intention is to provide a grounded, fun and supportive environment where you can learn the foundations of Reiki while developing confidence in your own ability to sense, feel, and trust what arises.

Reiki has touched my life in the most beautiful way and it’s my joy to share this ancient healing modality with you!

Frequently Asked Questions

  • No experience is needed! Anyone can learn Reiki and children as young as six can learn and be attuned to Reiki. Reiki is actually very simple.

    It is not about having some innate gift within you or some kind of natural superpower to heal others.

    I’m here to demystify this, because it is simply not true! Reiki doesn’t come from within you. You become the conduit for the life force energy to be channeled through.

    Anyone can be attuned to the life force energy that is Reiki, allowing you to heal yourself and others.

  • Reiki itself is safe for everyone. However I would not recommend receiving a Reiki attunement if you are currently in acute psychological distress or medical crisis (for example, active psychosis, severe destabilisation, or crisis states). It is important that you are supported through appropriate medical or mental health care first, and that any energetic practices are approached gradually and with care.

    Reiki attunements are best received when a person feels relatively resourced and supported.

    Reiki is intended as a complementary practice, not a substitute for clinical support.

  • Level 1 is focused on self healing and treating family and friends only. Professional practice where you can start charging for your treatments is developed at Level 2.

  • A Reiki attunement is a sacred guided energetic process that is traditionally given by a Reiki Master Teacher and is designed to open your connection to Reiki energy so you can channel it through your hands for healing.

    Everyone experiences their attunements differently. Some people feel sensations in their body like tingling or warmth, others see visions or colours, others simply feel calm or nothing at all. There is no right way to experience it - your system will integrate in its own way over time.

    As a student of mine I am here to support you after your attunement should you have any questions or concerns.
