FAQs

Reiki is an ancient healing and self-development therapy that was discovered in Japan by Dr Mikao Usui. This healing method combines Reiki energy with the warmth and healing power of touch. Reiki is usually done by placing the hands in a series of positions over or slightly above the body (your choice).
Reiki promotes healing by activating the relaxation response, allowing the body to balance itself on a deep level. Reiki energy fuels the body’s healing system, allowing it to work more efficiently. It relieves stress and anxiety, improves sleep, relieves pain and discomfort, eases muscle tension, promotes peace of mind, and heals the body and spirit.

All of my Reiki sessions include the following:
* Pre-consult chat, including chakra check (energy centres in the nervous system)
* A 45-minute hands-on intuitive healing session
* Sound healing
* Crystal healing
* Post-chakra check
* Post-consult chat

Sound Healing, also known as Sound Therapy or Sound Bath Therapy uses instruments such as Himalayan singing bowls, koshi chimes, tingsha bells, sound healing bars and tuning forks to bring vibrational healing in and around the body.
The soothing vibrations from sound instruments and singing bowls trigger the body's natural relaxation response, which then activates its innate healing mechanisms. This stimulates cellular regeneration and invigoration. The sound waves flow to where they are needed, creating the ideal healing conditions for you. The transformative sound unblocks stagnant energy, restoring balance and health. These healing vibrations have a rejuvenating effect on the entire physical body, as well as the energetic system. The result is a harmonises state of being across all levels - physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual.
Your Reiki session will end with this Sound Healing experience. The instruments are specifically chosen for their unique frequencies and tones, which are believed to have a beneficial impact on the body, mind, and spirit. The vibrations and harmonics produced by the instruments help balance the energy centres (chakras) in the body and stimulate the natural healing process.

Sound healing offers numerous benefits, such as reduced stress, deeper relaxation, better sleep, and emotional release. Additionally, it is regarded as a valuable tool for cultivating mindfulness and enhancing meditation practice.

Reiki and Sound Healing sessions can be different for everyone. This is because Reiki and Sound Healing works energetically with what YOU need during your treatment. You will most definitely experience a deep sense of peace, calm, and relaxation during the session. You can also feel grounded in your body with a renewed sense of vitality. These feelings often continue after your healing session. You may experience an emotional release during or after the session. The vibration of Reiki and Sound energy is a high, loving vibration that will always work to support your highest good, so any emotional release that comes to the surface is doing so because you are ready to release it.

You will lie down on a massage table and will remain fully clothed during your session.
I will show you which of your energy centres are open, partially blocked or blocked. Our aim is to open each of these centres along the body so that stagnant energy is released, and the healing energy can flow through all of the centres.
I will place crystals on these energy centre points along your body. Different crystals are associated with each of the 7 energy centres and help to open, balance and harmonise these centres.
I will lightly rest or hover my hands over various parts of your body where the energy is said to flow most (reiki). The hand positions are designed to cover three main areas: your major organs, your major chakras and your major meridians (energy pathways). These particular areas can be found all over your body so I will touch or hover over your head, arms, torso, legs and feet.
During this time, you may listen to a meditation or relaxation music.
After the Reiki healing, I will conclude the session with Sound Healing using the instruments mentioned above.

You will feel like you are having a facial or massage – deep relaxation where you can drift off to wherever you want to go.
Throughout the session you may feel fluctuations of ki energy moving within.
* you will probably feel heat (my hands get very warm)
* you may feel twitches
* You may feel buzzing, tingling, pulsating as the energy goes where it needs to heal
* you may feel goosebumps or chills
* you may see colours or patterns
* you will feel rested and very calm afterwards, lighter in emotion as stress and /or anxiety is released.
* if you have any physical aches or pains you will notice a change the next morning
* you’ll sleep better
The healing will continue for several days and if you have any physical ailments, the reiki energy will cause the toxins to be released. They will go back into your blood stream so drink lots of water to flush them out.
It’s just a relaxing and beautiful experience. Take an hour out of your day to rebalance

Everyone! Reiki and Sound Healing is open to all people to experience and can be sent to any living thing, such as animals, plants, and food. Reiki is a natural healing technique that is non-invasive and painless. Therefore, a Reiki treatment can be provided for anyone of any age. This includes pregnant women, babies, pets, people with illnesses, and older people.

Your physical body will give you clues; you only have to notice and pay attention to those clues. Stressful thoughts and feelings can lead to physical symptoms such as tension and tiredness. Reiki and Sound Healing is an excellent opportunity to let yourself stop and listen to the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs your energy system is trying to communicate with you.

Physical blocks can feel like tension and tiredness, causing muscle aches and pains. Reiki and Sound Healing is also supportive if you have been experiencing poor sleep. Emotional blocks arise from thoughts and feelings that are causing overwhelm or anxiety. Sometimes, there is a particular life situation that is causing stress to be held in your body, such as relationship breakdowns or job dissatisfaction

Those days when you just can't seem to shake the smallest of annoyances, when you're feeling perpetually tired, anxious, stressed, or worried - we've all been there. It's that incessant chatter in your head, the voice that tells you you're not enough, not good enough, not organized enough, not parenting or partnering enough. The one that keeps you endlessly rehashing past conversations and choices, over-analszing every "what-if" scenario. Wouldn't it be blissful to simply press a metaphorical "mute" button and unlock a profound sense of serenity, mental clarity, emotional balance, and a deeper connection with yourself? That's precisely what the transformative modality of Access Bars® can provide.
Access Bars® is a form of energy healing that involves the gentle touching or holding of 32 specific electromagnetic points on the head (16 on each side), which align with the body's Chinese meridian lines. When these points are lightly pressed, it can effortlessly and easily release the thoughts, ideas, beliefs, and emotions that have become stored within them, effectively "defragging" the brain. This process slows the brain's wavelengths, calming the body, mind, and spirit, and allowing the energy that was previously consumed by anxious thoughts and emotional turmoil to be redirected towards profound healing.
Access Bars® is remarkable for its ability to help individuals become more present in their everyday lives, free from the constant judgment of themselves and others. After a session, it's common to feel as though your mind has been reset - quieter, more spacious, and far more serene. This "brain defrag" allows you to let go of everything you've been holding onto, regulating your nervous system and shifting it from a state of "fight-or-flight" to one of "rest and digest." It's a truly liberating experience, offering a pathway towards greater trauma healing, anxiety reduction, and relief from depression. With Access Bars®, you can reclaim your mental, emotional, and spiritual equilibrium, empowering you to show up more fully in your life.
Activating these acupressure-like points releases the electromagnetic charge that causes
you to operate from a place of trauma and turmoil. 'Running your Bars' is like deleting files
from a cluttered hard drive - it releases the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that
keep you stuck in repetitive life patterns.

Neuroscientist Dr. Jeffrey Fannin has studied the effectiveness of Access Bars®,measuring the effects of meditation and belief change on brain function. Using electroencephalogram (EEG) technology, he has observed and recorded functional changes in the brain that correspond to the cognitive changes described by his clients.
Cognitive changes recorded by Neuroscientist, Dr. Jeffrey Fannin
Dr. Fannin studied individuals just before and immediately after their Access Bars® session and found that their EEG brain wave patterns slowed down and became more coordinated, resulting in their brain becoming more coherent in the way it processes information. According to Dr. Fannin, these changes are unprecedented. He says, he’s never seen brain wave patterns become coherent within a matter of minutes.
‘The Bars’, as they are known, was introduced by Gary Douglas in the early 1990’s and consists of sixteen bars of energy that run through and around your head. These bars of energy connect at specific ‘bars-points’, thirty-two in all, and correlate to different areas and aspects of your life, such as control, creativity, hopes, dreams, healing, sadness, joy and money to name a few.
Access Bars® has assisted thousands of people in 72 countries for over 30 years to change many aspects of their lives. People report better health, ease of sleep, weight loss, more ease with their body and relationships, relief from anxiety, less stress, greater clarity and so much more. See Dr Fanin and Dr Lisa Cooney MD on YouTube praising its merits and documenting the results

When The Bars are lightly touched, the brain waves actually slow down, allowing behavioural patterns, belief systems, and points of view that you have been running from childhood or from other lifetimes to be accessed. The brain wave’s change from beta waves, which are attentive mode, to alpha/theta waves, which are relaxed/fall asleep mode. Brain wave measurement shows increased brain coherence after receiving Access Bars. Access Bars optimizes brain performance, increase concentration ability and improve emotional stability.
During an Access Bars® Session you will relax lying on the massage table. During the session I will lightly touch the 32 points on the head, releasing thousands of limitations at a time, with total ease… Money, Control, Creativity, Ageing, Sexuality, Body, Joy, Sadness, Peace, Time, Space, Awareness, Kindness, Gratitude, Communication, Healing. This process will then begin to release the electromagnetic charge or polarity of the thoughts, feelings, emotions, ideas and beliefs as it is stored in your brain.

*It’s important to note that the benefits of Access Bars® may vary from person to person.

You don’t! The symptoms will go away when you and your body are ready to release the considerations (thoughts, feelings, emotions, beliefs, decisions, judgments from any lifetime) that are keeping the unwanted condition in place.
This process is not linear, which means that a condition that one person lets go of in one session could take many sessions for another person and there is no wrongness in this. It is just different. It is, however, possible to ask a particular Bars session to address particular symptoms or issues. The results are determined by the person receiving the Bars session and their body.

Access and the Bars are about choice. You don’t have to do anything. People who experience the greatest benefit from Bars are those who have it done repeatedly. It’s your choice.

Most people who have experienced Bars regularly report that their lives continue getting easier and better.

Children and babies benefit greatly from having their Bars run. They are often more willing to have rapid change in their bodies as well as in their being. It should be noted that children’s Bars can run very fast. Often they can tell you when each bar is done for that session and when to move on, and babies are even faster!

Absolutely! (Legally of course I have to suggest you ask your doctor first.) Women who have had their Bars done during pregnancy, especially on a regular basis, report having short and easy births and many have avoided c-sections.

Sessions are 1 hour or a shorter half hour session for children

A typical Indian head massage treatment, usually starts with the shoulders, working into this area especially as it often holds a lot of tension. The upper back may also be massaged working around the shoulder blade. Following this, flowing motions will move up the neck massaging and stretching to relieve any stress and tension. Finally, the scalp is then massaged along the accupressure points on the head followed up by the forehead and the area around the eyes. The upper back and arms can also be massaged.
