REIKI
More information
Reiki translated means universal life energy. It's a gentle complementary therapy; the philosophy aligns to the energetic interconnectedness of all things.
The practice was discovered by Mikao Usui in the 20th Century, and based on traditional energy practices used for centuries in Japan.
The benefits can differ client to client, from feeling a sense of calm and clarity in an otherwise stressful situation, to helping surface emotions for release and acceptance.
Some clients attend Reiki to relieve discomfort and pain. Whilst Reiki cannot guarantee results and it is not an alternative to medical care, clients have felt improvements to ailments.
No experience can ever be guaranteed, but what is agreed is the soothing benefits of finding peace and relaxation, and dedicating an hour of stillness in a busy life to restore your senses.
Given it's gentle practice, Reiki can be used with children, the elderly and pregnant mothers.
It is not a replacement for medical treatment, but is often used as a complementary therapy to help support traditional western medicines and is increasingly being used in medical settings as a complementary therapy to aid the recovery process.
I will always recommend you seek medical supervision for any ailments and if undergoing medical treatment, let them know you are using Reiki as a wellbeing therapy.
Reiki is suitable for all, however aromatherapy (singing bowls coming soon) can also be included in the session. You will need to advise me when booking, if you have an allergy to essential oils, have a pacemaker* or are pregnant**.
*these preclude the use of singing bowls during treatment
**pregnancy precludes singing bowls and can preclude some essential oils
What to expect
Reiki can be done in-person in my therapy room in the Derbyshire Dales or can be equally effective sending distance reiki to your home.
You should wear comfortable clothes and long trousers, to help you relax. Reiki can be offered hands-on or hands-off depending on your comfort.
The appointment is one hour. You will need to complete a brief health questionnaire and what brings you to Reiki.
Soothing music and aromatherapy helps create a relaxing space.
If receiving distance reiki make sure you have comfortable surroundings, free from distractions. You may find it nice to play calming meditation music and create a peaceful, gently lit space.

My journey
Over the course of several years, I experienced a number of different complementary therapies, being curious how alternative therapies may support my wellbeing and lifestyle.
I discovered Reiki several years ago as part of this journey. My reiki experience helped me re-establish a sense of calm and alignment to my life goals and wellbeing and after being recommended to train, (plus more research!), I decided to qualify as a Reiki Practitioner.
It's been a privilege seeing how Reiki has supported my clients and made a positive difference across a range of motivations they've brought to our practice.
COMING SOON
Being a huge fan of sound baths, I decided to train in singing-bowls to bring the benefits of sound to my practice and amplify the calming and healing experience. I'll be including singing bowls and tuning forks to my practice soon in 2026 to enhance your Reiki experience.

Distance Reiki.
I can send distance Reiki to you whilst you relax in the comfort of your own home.
You can receive it whilst rested and awake, or whilst you sleep.
Recipients receiving night-time Reiki remark that they experience improved nights sleep, feel refreshed and energised, amongst other benefits.

I'd always had an open-minded interest in Reiki but no experience before. After talking with Alison I felt intrigued and comfortable that I had a practitioner who could guide me and who I could trust. My treatment was managed with care and awareness of where I was and needed to be.
I was in a period of competing demands with my career and heading into potentially emotive times over Christmas. I expected to hit new year exhausted and stressed as I would usually do when faced with mountains of work, a course and new business planning, plus the demands of Christmas. I had the total opposite experience.
The sessions were done at a distance which I had no idea was possible! We set some during the night while I was sleeping and some times while I could be awake but able to rest.
From the very first session onwards, I felt light, clear headed, energised and extremely positive. I felt coherence between my goals and my behaviours in a way that was easy. In short, I was clear of negative energies.
It's made such a difference to me and truly helped me carry myself with ease. It's been a spring-clean for the nervous system and I thank Alison for her skill and compassion delivering what has been a really valuable experience"

I was initially sceptical about the benefits of Reiki, but a trusted work friend recommended I try it.
Not one to meditate, from the first session I was surprised by the level of deep meditation I experienced and the whole mind and body relaxation.
I only intended to experience a taster session, but have routinely booked in each month. Having Reiki has made me consider how I create more stillness in my life day to day"

Alison is an amazing Reiki Practitioner. I've experienced an incredible improvement in my energy levels and overall wellbeing. Long-term issues with my throat and dry cough have disappeared. I'm recommending Alison to all my friends”

I've been receiving Reiki from Alison for the past three months, in-person and distance Reiki, and have really felt the benefit. Some previous aches and pains have felt much better, and in general, over this period I have felt calmer and more relaxed. The surroundings and atmosphere provided are very peaceful and relaxing. I would recommend Alison to family and friends”
