Claire Ibbotson

Hi, I'm Claire, a holistic life coach and energy healer. I specialise in helping the spiritually curious through life's major transitions using my unique blend of coaching and energy work.

I also offer crystal therapy and Reiki as mobile therapies in Haywards Heath and surrounding areas, as well as at Fountain Therapies in Handcross, near Crawley. 

Crystal Therapy:

Crystal therapy is an ancient healing practice that works with the natural vibrations of crystals.
Each crystal carries its own unique frequency – like a tuning fork for the body and soul – that can help clear, balance and re-energise your system. Unlike Reiki, which channels universal energy, Crystal therapy draws upon the earths own gifts to support your healing journey.

In a session, you lie on a couch while crystals are placed under the couch in a 'grid' or in alignment with your chakras, in order to restore balance and flow. Their vibrations interact with your aura and energy field, helping to dissolve blockages, release old emotions and invite clarity and calm. Some people feel a gentle warmth or pulsing, while others experience a sense of deep grounding, or even visions that can bring in new insight.

Crystal therapy can ease stress, lift emotional heaviness, support restful sleep, and enhance spiritual connection. For those navigating life transitions – such as loss, change or new beginnings – crystals act like steadying companions, anchoring you during uncertainty and gently guiding you toward alignment with your next chapter.

What to expect 
Before your session, you’ll complete a short consultation form to share any relevant medical history and highlight areas you'd like to focus on.

The treatment is performed at either Fountain Therapies, in Handcross (near Crawley) your home (mobile) or remotely.

Mobile crystal therapy can be done using my massage couch, provided your room has sufficient space (dimensions 2.13m x 0.7m) and there is parking as it is heavy. Feel free to use your own pillow and blanket. Alternatively I can do crystal therapy if you are sitting on a chair with space for the crystals to go underneath and around you.*

If remotely you may wish to sit or lie down in a peaceful space, perhaps with soft music, a blanket, or incense — whatever helps you feel grounded and at ease. Have a glass of water nearby to help integrate the energy afterwards.

After the session you'll receive a follow up email (or if person I will talk you through the session).

As well as promoting a general feeling of wellness, crystal therapy may help with:

Trouble sleeping or restlessness
Stress, anxiety and emotional overwhelm
Low energy or fatigue
Aches, pains, headaches
Energetic imbalances and blocked chakras
A general sense of feeling disconnected or out of alignment

* Only available in Haywards Heath, East Grinstead, Forest Row, Burgess Hill, Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint. If your location is not listed please message me for availability.

Reiki:

Reiki is a gentle yet profound form of energy healing that originated in Japan with Dr. Mikao Usui.
At it's heart, Reiki works with universal life force energy – the vital flow that animates all living beings. When this energy becomes blocked or depleted, we can feel as it as stress, imbalance or emotional heaviness. Reiki helps restore harmony by clearing those blocks and allowing energy to flow freely again.

During a session, this healing energy moves through the chakras – the body's energy centres – and radiates into the aura, bringing balance on every level: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. Many people describe feelings of deep calm, warmth, tingling, or lightness as the energy moves, almost like being gently bathed in peace. Others notice clarity, realise of tension or a sense of reconnecting with themselves.

The benefits of Reiki can be far-reaching: reduced stress and anxiety, emotional release, improved sleep, greater resilience and an overall sense of well-being. For those navigating difficult transitions in life, Reiki offers a safe and nurturing space to pause, realign and reconnect with your inner light. 

What to expect 
The treatment is performed at either Fountain Therapies in Handcross (near Crawley) your home (mobile) or remotely.

Mobile reiki can be done using my massage couch, provided your room has sufficient space (dimensions 2.13m x 0.7m) and there is parking as it is heavy. Feel free to use your own pillow and blanket. Alternatively I can do reiki if you are sitting on a chair.*

If remotely you may wish to sit or lie down in a peaceful space, perhaps with soft music, a blanket, or incense — whatever helps you feel grounded and at ease. Have a glass of water nearby to help integrate the energy afterwards.

During the treatment, I’ll connect with your energy field and intuitively guide the Reiki energy where it’s most needed. You may feel warmth, tingling, lightness or deep calm — or simply a sense of peace.

After the session, I’ll send you a follow-up email letting you know which chakras or areas of the body I focused on, along with any intuitive insights that came through.

Reiki can support:

Stress, anxiety or emotional overwhelm
Trouble sleeping or feeling ungrounded
Physical tension or energetic fatigue
Chakra imbalances or emotional heaviness
A desire to reset, recharge or deepen your connection with yourself.

* Only available in Haywards Heath, East Grinstead, Forest Row, Burgess Hill, Hassocks and Hurstpierpoint. If your location is not listed please message me for availability.
