My first experience of Reiki was quite profound. After an hour on the couch I had a huge release of emotions. The healer explained that I had a build-up of stress and emotions that I had been holding onto and was causing me to be ill. I went back to see her a couple of times over the following weeks and when she told me that I could do what she does I almost fell off the couch. Me? Do what you do? Never!

The more I thought about it, the more interested I became in learning more about holistic therapies. Within months I was attuned in Reiki and using it on myself to heal emotional or physical imbalances. I progressed on to further Reiki attunements along with other relaxation techniques, which then allowed me to help others which I found extremely rewarding.

The next milestone was attending an intensive personal development weekend in London. I only went along to support a friend who was studying NLP and Hypnotherapy at the time. Little did I know that it would change my life for the better!

Following one of the hypnotherapy sessions, I turned to my friend and said “Oh my god, I visualized that I was cutting the ceremonial ribbon at the opening of my own Health Retreat!” It seemed so far fetched but at the same time felt right. I could see that I was making a positive difference to people’s lives. The idea of providing a ‘haven of calm’ where people could get away from it all and be treated by some of the best holistic practitioners in the business was something I began to feel extremely passionate and excited about.
