My name is June and I am a Reiki Master. I am developing this website (along with James King, my website designer, without whom this project would never have got of the ground) to raise awareness about the sense of freedom and wellbeing complementary therapies can bring to our lives. It is important to also state that in no way should they replace allopathic medicine. But I do believe they have a genuine place alongside, to enhance and complement all forms of medicine.

I first began my journey of discovery and using complementary therapy when I received my first ever treatment of Reiki from my dear friend and Reiki Master and Teacher, Linda Thornally I went for my session with an open mind and no knowledge of what to expect but came out feeling lighter and the most relaxed I had been in years. I also had a sense I needed to find out more about this.

I received many treatments over several months and began to read books to develop my knowledge before embarking on the next step and studying First Degree Reiki with Reiki Master/Teacher Ann Preston. I followed this by receiving attunements to Second Degree and Advanced Reiki Practitioner.

My Reiki journey is now part of my daily spiritual practice as is meditation and I have now completed my attunement to Reiki Master/Teacher with Linda and a group of wonderful friends.

I have studied and qualified in many holistic therapies as I wanted to be able to offer a truly holistic experience, tailored to individuals needs for those who asked. From the onset of meeting my client, we work together and it is my endeavour to help the recipient feel empowered in their choice of therapy. It is important that the recipient feels they have time to discuss their issues, they will receive the highest standard of therapy that is tailored to their specific needs.

Throughout my studies I have used all the therapies as part of my own self-healing. The most profound and self-empowering technique I have the privilege of being qualified in is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). I trained and qualified with EFT Master, Tania Prince and am now myself an EFT Trainer.

I am a qualified Colour Breathing Practitioner and use colour in many ways within my therapeutic practices. I am qualified in Indian Head Massage and I hold a Diploma in Holistic Therapies through the awarding body VTCT. My diploma qualifies me to practice many forms of massage, aromatherapy, reflexology and holistic facials. I am also a Certified Trainer in Baby Massage. Currently, I am studying my Certificate in Education with the University of Huddersfield as it is my intention to continue to put on workshops and courses to a professional standard but also to make the knowledge accessible to all.

My career background is varied and has always been interesting. I started in commerce and then took time out to raise a family. I worked in education with children with special needs and for a four and half years taught children Art and crafts. I have just relinquished my part-time post with a Hospice environment to develop my own practice which has been building steadily and for which I am truly grateful.

So, here I am embarking on the next stage of my journey. Putting my trust in the Universe that the knowledge I have gained and through the love of my work and love of people, we can work together and help bring about a sense of freedom and well-being that is within us all.

What Reiki Means to Me

Reiki is the path I have chosen to follow (or perhaps, the path that has chosen me) to help me live a fuller, more loving life, free from limiting beliefs. Reiki is part of my spiritual journey as well as there to help balance the physical, emotional and psychological aspects of my life. I believe Reiki to be a self-empowering tool that is available to all who choose to use it in restoring balance, harmony and love into their lives.
