For me the experience of learning Reiki level two was a very powerful emotional and deep cleansing journey that I will never forget. At the time my life was a bit of a roller coaster with many changes taking place rapidly. I was going through the motions of immigrating to America, dealing with difficult paperwork and feeling the fear of beginning a new life that I was never 100% sure of.

A Relaxing Way to Detox

The Benefits of Reflexology

Perhaps understanding the many benefits of reflexology will encourage sceptics to try this wonderfully relaxing treatment. I have been successfully treating clients with Reflexology treatments for 10 years now and still enjoy the opportunity of helping others find balance in their life both on a physical and emotional level.

The Cleansing Process

This Reiki journey of self healing and spiritual discovery will in no doubt for some people bring many mixed emotions to the surface due to the changes taking place within the auric field.
