My Story

Welcome to Holistic Soul; I'm SO glad you're here! 

I first discovered Reiki in 2000 when I was part of a spiritual development group. I'd heard the word mentioned a few times but never really understood what it was. Seventeen years later, my husband (whom I'd met at my spiritual development group and was the one talking about Reiki) said he was going to be attuned to Reiki. I was excited for him and even brought him a book on it which I ended up reading, and he didn't. I became hooked and couldn't wait for him to sign up, but he kept putting it off. Ultimately, I booked into the class, and as corny as it sounds, it changed my life forever.

I wasn't prepared for the power of this incredible energy and the amazing healing results that followed. They say Reiki finds you when you need it most, and it certainly did for me. My 18-month-old granddaughter had been diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor just a few months earlier and was given only a 2% chance of survival. I spent every weekend in Bristol Children's Hospital giving my granddaughter Reiki; the difference it made to her was incredible. 8 years on, she is in mainstream school and living her life.

Once I became attuned to Reiki, I just wanted more of it. I then went on to train as a Reiki practitioner and qualified as a Reiki Master/Teacher under the Holy Fire system. More recently, I continued my training to the Karuna Reiki Master level, and I am a registered teacher at the International Center of Reiki Training. 

It was through the Karuna Master Teacher training that I was introduced to the power of sound combined with Reiki. Since that discovery, I have always combined sound healing with my Reiki sessions. This is always done following a discussion with the client and with their consent. I have yet to meet a client who didn't welcome the added healing.  

Today, I’m expanding Holistic Soul to reach even more people through both in-person and online offerings. These include:

• Guided meditations
   
• Hypnosis audios
   
• Digital healing workbooks
   
• Specialized packages for menopause, chronic pain and emotional wellness  

• And my brand-new Reiki Monthly Membership, offering discounts on block bookings and exclusive healing resources

Whether you’re new to Reiki or ready to deepen your practice, I’d love to support you through a Reiki & Sound Healing Session or by guiding you through Reiki training and certification.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch — I’m always happy to help.

Much Love
