I was born in Guildford, Surrey. At the tender age of 9, I went to live in Johannesburg in South Africa. This has had a profound impact on my life in which I view things in life. I was privileged to experience different cultural aspects, beliefs and methods, which began to open personal broader perspectives. Increasingly I recognised my own awakening sensitivities, intuitive abilities and subsequent experiences.
After returning to England as a teenager to complete my tertiary education, I returned to live in South Africa at the end of 1981 where I immersed myself in the commercial world where I recognised that although I had used these skills, I felt compelled to fully acknowledge develop the other side of my life to become balanced and whole in my spiritual self and apply developed and gained skills for assisting others. So in 1998, I entered the world of energy healing and Reiki.
This training provided me with the very valuable and important skills of being much more in tune with myself and sensitive to the needs of others. After setting up my professional practice in Johannesburg I helped individuals to overcome their life’s difficulties and problems in order that they should thrive and sustain themselves in this world whatever their lives brought them. In this process I have been able to assist these clients to reach their full potential and fully awaken themselves into being able to live a more fulfilling and meaningful life utilising all their attributes and abilities.
I continued to practise the ancient healing art of Reiki in South Africa up until 2002, at which point I left and spent a brief time living in Israel, where I continued to offer treatments, before returning to England in the heat wave of July 200. Thereafter I set about building up my English Reiki practice.
In the autumn of 2004 I founded “Your Hands Can Heal” with the intention of providing quality training and giving comprehensive treatments, which seemed to be in short supply. I concentrated on the A-Z of teaching a total novice about Reiki and healing.
I founded the school with the intention of producing confident therapists who would go on to practice their skills and possibly teach as well. Simultaneously, I gave people in need much needed healing and relief.
To date I have worked and taught Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki, KarunaⓇ Reiki and currently teach Tera-Mai™ Energy Healing which incorporates both Reiki & Seichem Healing modalities. In parallel I have organised a variety of workshops and events supporting that which I teach. I qualified as a Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Master Teacher back in 2000 and a KarunaⓇ Reiki Master Teacher in 2002. In 2011 I was awarded the WPF Certificate in Counselling Skills from the Counselling Centre in Tunbridge Wells. In 2013 I was one of the first Reiki practitioners in England to meet the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council’s criteria for admission to their register.
In January 2015 after experiencing a Tera-Mai™ Healing Treatment, I instantly decided that this was something I wanted to offer to both my clients and students. What I have discovered since converting to this incredibly well balanced healing system is that Tera-Mai™ Reiki Healing really does take healing to a whole new level, where previously the results I was looking for were not possible to achieve. I was subsequently invited to re-establish Tera-Mai™ energy healing in East Sussex & Kent, which has now been achieved. I am currently based in Alton, Hampshire, but still supporting my students and clients in East Sussex.
In 2022 I have been awarded the Petaltone Practitioner qualification and now offer Petaltone tone HEF clearings for my clients.
