You've Stopped for the Evening.
Your Mind Hasn't.

Many clients feel exactly where I'm working without being told, with their eyes closed, whether they're on my treatment table or at home on a video call. That's often the moment people stop wondering whether they're imagining it.

If you're still wondering how something you can't see can have a real effect, it helps to remember how little of the world our human senses actually pick up. You can't see the wind, but you know it's there by the way the trees move. Your eyes can't see infrared light, yet you feel its warmth on your skin. Some animals perceive far more than we do: a mantis shrimp has up to sixteen types of colour receptor where we have three, so it sees light that's invisible to us. Even scientists believe most of the universe is made of dark matter and dark energy, which no one has ever seen. They only know it's there because of its effects.

That's how I think about energy healing. We can't see it, but we can feel what it does, and clients often feel it in the exact spot I'm working.

You don't need to believe any of this to book. Most people notice what they feel first and think about the explanation later.

Seichem is the name for the whole system, which has four energies. Reiki is the earth energy at its base, with the grounded, calming quality of traditional Usui Reiki. The other three are Sakara, the fire energy, Sophi-El, the water energy, and Angelic Light, the air or spirit energy.

The system also includes the Violet Flame, a transmuting energy. Rather than releasing what feels heavy or stuck, it changes it into something lighter and more harmonious, often in the bigger picture around you.

I let whichever energy is needed come through on the day, which is why a session can bring deep relaxation and noticeable change at the same time.

You join a live video call from home. Before your session, I'll send a few notes on getting comfortable, and you can sit in an armchair, lie on your bed or even on the floor. Many people relax more deeply in familiar surroundings.

The idea of healing someone who isn't in the same room can be hard to get your head around, and I was sceptical about it myself until I experienced it. From that very first distance healing session, it has never stopped amazing me. Before I started practising professionally, I gave more than 30 distance healing sessions as part of my case studies, and what people described was consistently striking. One client, who wasn't sure Reiki could affect him at all, felt an overwhelming sensation of floating in warm water during a session at home. Another told me that even though our sessions were online, she experienced them just as she would have in person, and could feel the energy flowing.

Time and again, distance clients describe the same warmth, tingling and deep relaxation as people who see me in person. That's what convinces me distance is no barrier to this work.

Whatever you're comfortable in. You stay fully clothed throughout, so loose, soft layers work best. Some people feel warmer during a session and others cooler as they relax, and layers let you adjust. In person, I'll have blankets and cushions ready for you. At home, keep a blanket and a pillow nearby so you can settle in properly.

One session can be enough to feel a real shift. Some people come back regularly, because the effects build over time: a calmer mind, and a balance that holds when life gets busy. If you'd like ongoing support, you can book a series of sessions. I'll only suggest further sessions if I think they'd help, and there's never any pressure to book them.

Yes. Reiki and Seichem is gentle and non-invasive, and I've worked with pregnant clients who found sessions calming and restful, especially later in pregnancy when proper rest gets harder. If your pregnancy is high-risk or you have any medical concerns, check with your midwife or GP first.
