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. Six years on, she is in mainstream school and living her life.

Once I became attuned to Reiki, I just wanted more of it. So, I went on to train as a Reiki practitioner and then qualified as a Reiki Master/Teacher under the Holy Fire system and 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 and since that discovery, I now always combine sound healing with my Reiki sessions. This is always following a discussion with the client and the client's consent. I have yet to meet a client that didn't welcome the added healing.    

I hope to meet you soon for a Reiki Sound session or one of my training classes. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Much Love
