I am passionate about all my therapies and I have been in practice in both massage and Reiki therapies at Aston Clinic London since 2001. As an experienced massage therapist and Reiki practitioner I initially qualified as a beauty therapist over 45 years ago. Trained by highly experienced teachers, at the prestigious Ray Cochrane Beauty School in London, which is an internationally recognised CIDESCO approved school, still one of the leading schools in the UK. 

I now specialise in Swedish Massage and Indian Head Massage and use different massage techniques including acupressure points to achieve the best results.  

This can help relieve tension, headaches, sinus congestion, eye strain and promote relaxation, as well as full body massage. 

All massages are customised to the individual’s needs and the depth of pressure that is comfortable. 

In 1999, I trained first in Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki for my own personal wellbeing and experienced incredible changes in my life. I was so impressed I continued my training over a period of nearly 8 years to become a teacher in both Usui Reiki and Karuna Reiki®.  

A session is usually 60 minutes duration. An initial chat ascertains both a mutual rapport and what an individual is hoping to achieve from the session. The session is carried out with you lying on a massage couch, fully clothed, except for shoes. There are two options hands-on or hands-off, if you prefer not to be touched. 

The session commences and I will talk you through a relaxation technique and use specific hand positions over the energy centres of the head and body (Usui Reiki) or more concentrated areas (Karuna Reiki®) for medically accessed illnesses. A recipient may feel warmth, tingling or nothing, or just deeply relaxed. When you are ready you will be drawn to Reiki, you will find the time to give back to yourself and your journey begins.  

What is Reiki?

Having often been asked this question, here is small summary. Reiki works on the human energy system that runs through the physical body via meridians, chakras (energy centres) and the aura, the energy system surrounding the body. Once a practitioner is attuned to the Reiki, energy can be channelled to others. 

Each individual is in total control of what they wish to receive, either consciously or sub-consciously, and works for the person’s own highest good. You will never receive too much. 

I use Reiki all day, every day on myself and others, I have worked with children and adults. I have had the pleasure to support and help people going through the most extreme conditions, from young people with autism, clients with cancer, through to people that just find it hard to relax or cope with everyday life and stress. Reiki is used to help support others in hospital and care settings. 

Reiki is not associated with any belief system and can be learnt and used by everyone, and every living thing. It helps to repair the imbalances in our own physical, mental, emotional and spiritual body and promotes wellbeing.
