I'm a Reiki Practitioner in New Eltham (SE9) London.

I work from my house, I offer mobile sessions, and I can give distance treatments. I offer traditional Mikao Usui Reiki.

I worked as an AI Data Scientist for 23 years, most recently at Lloyds Banking Group. After being affected by Long COVID for four years and experiencing first-hand the benefits that Reiki can have on my well-being, I decided to change direction and devote myself to practising Reiki.

I believe Reiki should be available to anyone who feels drawn to it, regardless of their age, gender, background, beliefs, or previous experience. By helping to make Reiki more accessible, I hope to contribute in a small way to Mikao Usui's vision of sharing Reiki with a wider audience.

Mikao Usui, the founder of Reiki, was a lay Tendai Buddhist monk and discovered Reiki as a way to reach spiritual enlightenment. However, in order for clients to benefit from the emotional and physical aspects of Reiki, no particular spiritual or religious element is needed.

Research has also attempted to explain how Reiki works from a scientific perspective, without making assumptions about the nature of the energy involved. These explanations neither prove nor disprove whether Reiki energy exists as a spiritual force.
One possible explanation proposed by James L. Oschman in 'Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis' is that, during a treatment, the practitioner establishes a deep connection with the Earth's magnetic field and transmits that energy to the client through resonance, helping to initiate the healing process.

Reiki has so many useful applications that probably the best summary is Usui's own description of Reiki taken from his memorial stone: 'The secret art of inviting happiness. The miraculous medicine of all diseases' (this quote is not a medical claim).

My fee is £30 for a one-hour Reiki session, which is around half the fee charged by many Reiki practitioners. I want you to be completely satisfied with the benefits you receive from a Reiki session, so I only ask for payment if, within a few days of your session, you feel that you have experienced a benefit. Payment can then be made by BACS or in cash at your next appointment.

The benefits of Reiki are often dose-dependent, so several sessions may be needed to achieve the benefits you are looking for. By keeping my fees affordable, I hope to make it easier for you to receive multiple sessions without significant financial expense.

I practise from my living room at home, which I have deliberately kept looking like a normal living room rather than a traditional therapy space. There are no references to Japan, Reiki, or similar themes. I have included a few photographs so you can see the environment for yourself.

I give Reiki using a low-raised portable bed, which I find very comfortable for treatments and easy to carry around. I prefer this setup to a standard massage table because sitting closer to the floor helps me relax and feel a deeper connection with the energy.

I can do treatments between 12pm and 9pm.

Free parking is available in front of my house.
