REIKI
About
with Heather

"Reiki is the secret art of inviting happiness, through many blessings"
~ Mikao Usui, Founder of Reiki
Heather first experienced a reiki treatment in the early 2000’s and it had a profoundly healing and transformational effect on her. Throughout the years that followed, her curiosity towards Reiki continued with various other treatments along the way, including enjoying antenatal Reiki sessions during her pregnancy with her second child. This curiosity piqued further in late 2011, when she decided to book a course of treatments that lead Heather to making the decision to begin studying Reiki herself in early 2012. This resulted in Heather completing her training in Usui Reiki Evolution training to level three, or master teacher level with her teacher Irene Forsyth by the March of 2014. That same year saw Heather also gain a diploma in Indian Head Massage with teacher Susan Cross, leading swiftly on to Heather beginning an intensive study and practice of Kriya Yoga, both in the UK and India over the 10 years that followed and in which she became qualified to teach in 2018.
Heather's lifelong interest in all things mystical and metaphysical, her connection to India and the yogic sciences, her personal journey with self-realisation, along with her affinity with the violet flame, Arch Angels and her deep love of astrology; both western tropical and sidereal Vedic, all serve to inform, as well as feed into her desire to serve and to share the benefits of Reiki and spiritual nourishment with others.
Coming full circle, back to where her Usui Reiki journey began, Heather is currently offering Reiki treatments on Saturdays at The Zentist in York.

Reiki is one of the most calming and beautiful experiences. I've received reiki from Heather both in person and at a distance and both have had a big impact on me. I am an anxious person and a worrier, but reiki has helped me to de-stress during exam periods, sleep well when I'm feeling run down, relax me before important events, and help me feel grounded when I needed it. I also suffer badly with digestive problems, for which medication can't be prescribed, and reiki is one of the only things I have found which can decrease the discomfort and tightness. It feels like I spend my life holding my breath, and reiki allows me to release it!

Having never had reiki I didn't know what to expect, however Heather soon put my mind at rest, literally. It was the most peaceful relaxing experience, I drifted away to who knows where and afterwards felt a great sense of joyful, inner contentment.

For all the unpleasant times that we all have to deal with and carry through our lives, Reiki with Heather helped me to open my eyes to what really mattered, and to gently close them to what didn't. Thank you Heather.

Reiki with Heather is a wonderful experience. It makes you feel so relaxed.
I often drift off to sleep throughout and it puts a spring in my step afterwards too.
I also find I always have a really good night’s sleep following a treatment.

Before Reiki, I found it difficult to meditate, but after receiving my first treatment I was able to remain focused and really feel the energy of the Reiki. I highly recommend Heather as a Reiki practitioner. She is knowledgeable, kind and compassionate. I would encourage anyone who is thinking about working with Reiki to go for it. It's a life changer.
Nick, York
I can thoroughly recommend Heather's Reiki healing services. The sessions helped me to slow down and focus on relaxation both during and after the sessions. I found myself in such a state of Zen. A++!
