‘I first came across Reiki in1995 as part of my journey into the world of the Oriental healing arts. In 1989 I and my friend Mel Cash had founded the London School of Sports Massage but in the early ‘90s I also had my eyes opened to the fascination of working with healing energy in a holistic way when I began studying Qigong under Chinese master, Zhixing Wang, in London. That was a turning point and Reiki healing followed on from it. In 1998, I set up Oriental Therapy International which then became the Reiki Way. Its main purpose is to offer to those drawn to it the opportunity to work with the spiritual healing energy of Reiki, both for their own healing and well-being and also for helping others and indeed all sentient beings. Reiki is a gift from the universe and it provides both healing and food for the soul.

I now work as a Reiki teacher and practitioner. I also write on matters of health and healing. My own Reiki master teacher is Frank Arjava Petter, researcher of Usui Reiki in Japan and also author of a number of books on the Usui Reiki healing system. I have a profound respect for his teachings. I now live in England, in East Sussex near the sea, and I also make visits to Italy and Thailand. I practise daily meditation and Tai Chi and swim and walk the hills whenever I can. What I have found in my experience is that Reiki can lead us to the way of peace, love and compassion, and also wisdom, which is surely the path we all yearn to follow. I feel blessed.’
