 Reiki
(pronounced Ray-Key) is a safe, gentle, non
intrusive ‘hands on healing’ technique that provides optimum relaxation to
help heal, balance and revitalise the mind, body,
emotions and spirit. Reiki means ‘Universal Life
Force Energy’. It helps promote balance and harmony
in the whole person, helping the body’s natural
energy to function and self heal. Find out

Swedish Body Massage |
|
Massage has existed in one form or another since
early civilisation. The word massage is generally
believed to derive from the Arabic ‘mass’ which
means to press softly. The physical and
psychological benefits of massage have been
recognised for thousands of years. Massage is the
manipulation of the soft tissues and muscles of the
body for therapeutic purposes. More information on

Reflexology |
|
Reflexology is a holistic treatment that
works on the feet and hands to balance the whole
body. It includes both massage and pressure point
techniques to have an effect on the energy pathways
or reflex zones of the body.
Reflexology calms the nervous system,
circulation improves and all the cells are
oxygenated; all the systems of the body function in
a more efficient and cohesive way, cleansing the
body through the lymphatic, excretory and
integumentary (skin, nail, hair, sweat and sebaceous
glands) systems of toxins. Find out

Hot Stone Treatment |
|
Hot stone massage is a variation on a classic
massage therapy. Flat, smooth stones are immersed in
water and heated in an electric heater until they
are within a certain temperature range. The stones
are placed on key points of the body, usually either
side of the spine, in between the toes, in the palms
of the hands and on the abdomen. The massage
therapist also holds the stones and uses them to
massage certain areas of the body using long smooth,
nurturing strokes over its front and back. |

About Me |
This website is aimed at anyone interested in
healing, holistic healing, and self development
using the healing energy of Reiki. I have always had
a genuine interest in working with and supporting
people; I worked in the social care field for 16
years in unqualified and qualified positions. During
this time I experienced four major life events which
made me re-evaluate my whole life. ‘Your Balance for
Life’ is one part of my journey. I completed the
‘Reiki Practitioner Diploma’ at the Royal Forest of
Dean College, Gloucestershire; I have continued my
Reiki studies to Master/Teacher level.
I practice the traditional Japanese form of Reiki
known as ‘Usui Reiki’, as re-discovered my Dr Mikao
Usui early in the 20th century. My values and
methods are as true to the original system of Reiki
as possible, as they have been handed down to me
from my Reiki Master. My teaching lineage can be
traced back through to the original Reiki system of
Dr Mikao Usui.
If you are new to Reiki, please visit my page on ‘What
is Reiki’ Here you will find some useful
information on the Reiki energy healing system and
how it could benefit you.
