Heal
True healing occurs on all levels of our being - spirit, mind, heart, and body.
Reiki (pronounced ‘Ray-Key’) is a gentle, yet very powerful energy healing practice created in Japan by Mikao Usui more than 100 years ago. In Japanese, Rei means “spirit” or “soul” and Ki means “the energy of the universe” - roughly translated as “universal energy.”
Reiki is based on the belief that an unseen life force energy flows though us and causes us to be alive. The lower this energy, the less good we feel and the higher, the better.
For in person treatments, hands are placed over the body to share this universal energy. Reiki can be used for emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual healing, to reduce stress and anxiety, and improve wellbeing.
Reiki has become increasingly popular, with both private and public health authorities (including the NHS) now recognising this method.

About Erin
No Fire, No Phoenix.
My recovery from trauma took me to hell and back, and the journey was nothing short of miraculous.
I was fortunate to try different healing methods from around the world as I focused on healing my mind, body & soul - therapy, yoga, reiki, vortex, watsu, boxing, crystals, somatics, sound baths, chakra cleansing, temple waters, meditation, earthing, inner child hypnotherapy, kirtan, yoni steaming, shamanic healing, circles, ceremonies, dance, acupuncture, cupping... the list goes on.
The three most powerful healers I found - energy healing, movement & connection.
I have always been highly sensitive to energy, in 2019 I decided to train formally as a Reiki practioner. This journey eventually led me to become a Reiki Grand Master in Bali in 2023 under the guidance of the highly gifted Punnu Wasu.
Years of dedicated yoga practice reshaped my life, helping me to ground, find strength, and reconnect to my body. Inspired by the teaching styles of Paul Teodo and Byron De Marse, I decided to undergo training with them to become a certified Power & Vinyasa Yoga instructor. I also specialised in Somatic & Integrative trauma recovery. I firmly believe that yoga enables us to come home to our highest selves by empowering us to grow through what we go through and connect to the innate wisdom of our bodies.
My mission is to create spaces for these powerful tools to heal others, just as they have done me. For when we are healed, we are not healed alone.
Love & Light,
Erin xx
