Beauty/Holistic Therapist – Reiki and Seichem Master Teacher
Holistic Training Courses
Reiki was rediscovered in Japan by Mikao Usui in 1922, Rei refers to universal or spiritual wisdom and Ki represents the vital life force energy that flows through all living things, reiki is often associated with the element of earth . Seichem means Power of Powers and contains the healing energies of air, fire and water. Reiki and Seichem are taught together as the combination of all four elemental energies provides deep emotional healing for the body mind and soul.
I originally trained in Usui Reiki in 2004 and then retrained in 2006 in Reiki and Seichem, I began teaching Reiki and Seichem in 2014 and I am a member of the Reiki and Seichem Association. I offer regular Reiki Shares so students can continue to practise and share with other reiki practitioner and students.
All of my Courses are accredited and validated by ABT. Courses include theory as well as practical instruction and come with a comprehensive manual to take home. By the end of each course I will ensure you feel confident and able to carry out a treatment on yourself and others.
