• Physical sensations such as warmth, tingling, or a gentle wave of energy through your body

• Emotional release, deep calm, or a sense of lightness

• Colours, images, memories, or intuitive insights

• Or simply a quiet stillness and deep rest (common to fall asleep)

Reiki gently shifts energy in the body and supports your nervous system to shift into a parasympathetic (rest & repair) state, where self healing can occur. Everyone responds differently. Some people feel clear and energised, with a renewed sense of peace. Others may feel detox effects such as fatigue or digestive shifts (this is good as it means you have entered deep relaxation so your body can self heal). There is no right way to feel.

• Drink plenty of water as this will support your energetic system to process and clear.

• Go gently for the rest of the day and stay away from overstimulating environments.

• REST! Take a nap!

• You may feel more tired or emotional following sessions - simply observe this and offer yourself rest and compassion.

Reiki is one of the most researched energy healing modalities and has no side effects. It is safe for everyone.

No you don’t have to believe in it and I always welcome some healthy scepticism. Reiki is not attached to any religion and is for everyone. You will receive the deeply relaxing effects of Reiki even if you do not know much about it or are somewhat sceptical.

When I offer distance Reiki, I don’t conduct session online via video. I work through a surrogate item and I keep the space tech-free so I can stay fully present and grounded. This method has proven most effective for distance sessions. These sessions are potent!

I suggest you find a comfortable and quiet space where you will not be disturbed. Make yourself cozy with pillows and blankets, lie down if you can and you may like to play some soft music in the background. An eye mask or towel over your eyes is wonderful to create sensory deprivation. Following the Reiki, take some time to gently come back to alertness and to reflect on the experience.

Embodied listening is a gentle process of slowing down and paying attention to what your body is communicating as you speak.

Through guided somatic inquiry, we explore sensations, emotions and patterns that may be held beneath the surface of your words.

Rather than analysing or trying to fix anything, the focus is on bringing curious and compassionate awareness to what is present. This often allows emotions, insights and shifts to emerge naturally.

You’re welcome to bring anything that feels present for you.

This might be a pattern that keeps repeating, a life transition, emotional heaviness, stress in the body, or simply a sense that something is ready to shift.

You don’t need to have the “right” words. We begin wherever you are.

While therapy often focuses on processing past experiences and understanding patterns, mentoring is more relational and guided. It draws on lived experience as well as professional knowledge.

In mentoring, I walk alongside you - gently guiding you as you explore what’s coming up for you. There is space for both support and direction, depending on what you need in the moment.

My approach weaves in embodied listening, where we bring attention to the body’s experience in the present moment. By exploring sensations and emotions as they arise, deeper layers of awareness can emerge that aren’t always accessible through conversation alone.

The addition of Reiki supports the nervous system to soften, process, and integrate what has been witnessed during the session.

Rather than focusing purely on analysis or advice, this work supports you to build a trusting relationship with your own body and inner knowing - so your decisions and direction come from a more grounded, embodied place.

These sessions tend to resonate with people who feel ready to explore their inner world more deeply and are open to listening to the wisdom of their body.

Often clients have already done personal development or therapy but sense there is something deeper wanting to be acknowledged or released.

If you feel drawn to the idea of slowing down, being compassionately witnessed and reconnecting with your own inner knowing, this work may be supportive for you.
