On writing my first Blog, I wanted to share with you my background and how it is I came to teach Yoga & Reiki.

My career up until I was 39 was Mechanical Engineering in the HVAC industry, so it may surprise you to know that I come from a practical ‘nuts and bolts’ background. My yoga practice was one of my hobbies and I decided to deepen my practice with a foundation course then teacher training. I discovered Reiki in 2005 and loved working with Reiki for myself enjoying the benefits until again I felt I wanted more, and to further my knowledge I took my mastership training. On completing this training no-one was more surprised than myself, that I felt ready to teach and share this wonderful skill with others.

Many of my students will confirm that I have a practical approach to my instruction, referring to many of the practices as ‘tools’ for our toolbox. Techniques that may help us, as long as we remember that we can pull from the tool box as we need them!

Holistic practices look at the person as a whole, this seems logical to me, we are spirit and yet we have body too! These do not have to be separate, if we view ourselves as the embodiment of spirit. If we consider physical, mental, emotional and spirit together, we are more able to treat the root cause of any ‘dis-ease’ or imbalance rather that putting sticking plasters on the various presenting symptoms.
