My Story

My Reiki journey started in 2022 when knee pain unexpectedly reduced massively with one treatment.​Reiki has considerably reduced my pain, anger, stress levels and .... Now I'm here to help you. ​I had only vaguely heard about Reiki so knew nothing about it until I met Sue from The Reiki Experience. Even after she explained Reiki I was very sceptical, but this soon changed. 

 

I had an accident at work back in 1998 and badly damaged my left knee, damaging the ligaments and cartilage which resulted in keyhole surgery.  Ongoing physio then gave me back some movement in my knee but did not reduce the pain a great deal. The aches and pain diminished slightly over the years but never completely cleared, especially in the cold weather. Prior to my accident I played rugby, squash and ran most days. The injury put a stop to all of this and I really missed not being able to do these.

​

Fast forward to 2022 when I met Sue and asked for a treatment on my knee. Something strange happened which made me think that there was more to Reiki than I had previously thought. As a result of just one treatment the pain in my problematic knee almost completely disappeared and didn't return, giving me hope of running again.

​

I wanted to learn more about Reiki. So, I soon enrolled on Sue's accredited Reiki level 1 (introductory) course and a year later,  I attended her level 2 training. I was then awarded my Practitioner certificate after achieving the required expertise. This is where I found that things became very interesting in the reactions I was getting from treatments on myself and other people.

​

It is in my nature to enjoy helping others in any way I can, and through Reiki, I now find I am additionally able to help others in a longer term way that benefits their health, be it mental health, pain or stress.

​

I have gone through a period in my life where my mental health was poor and I sought help through organisations such as Talking point. As a man we find it difficult to talk about these issues, and I found that the help gained was only short term. Since being introduced to Reiki, however, I have found that my mental health and stress levels have hugely improved on an ongoing basis. This changed me as a person and knowing what it feels like to suffer from mental health and recover, I would like to help other people in similar situations. ​In addition to my mental health improvements, I am now running again. I am a member of a running club and run at least three times a week covering distances of up to a half marathon, so far.

​

So this is where I am now, a true believer in Reiki, wanting to help others in the same way, along with any other issues that a client may have where I can help as a Complementary Therapist.
