At present I am a student of the British Academy of Sound Therapy (BAST) and currently in the process of working towards obtaining my qualification in Group Sound Therapy... which is super exciting! Hence the resurrection and name change of this page :)
I am now at the stage of conducting the 9 required case studies towards my portfolio, with each sound session showcasing a different technique and experience. With this qualification I would like to help others- especially children suffering with illness, as it resonates with my own story. For each case study I require a minimum of 6 participants, and in turn you are helping me gain a step closer to my dream in helping many others. So I thank you in advance for your kindness and help... you’re amazing! For further information on the case study sessions & to book your place, please check out the events tab or you are welcome to contact me directly on 07709438800.
Not only this, but I am also a qualified; Usui Reiki Master, Shamanic Practitioner, Breathwork Practitioner, Sound Healing Practitioner, Facial Reflexologist as well as working towards my Nutritional Health qualification too, all as a result from my own healing journey.
You could say that I am finally stepping out of the shadows and into the light to help share my experiences, knowledge, quirkiness and love in the pursuit to help others discover their path to health and wellness. Currently I’m focusing mainly on my BAST qualification, but if you would like to discuss and arrange a consultation/ appointment regarding my other offerings please DM or contact me directly on 07709438800. All sessions will take place in my dedicated healing room within the comfort of our tranquil home in Maryculter.
My Story
My health story began over 30 yrs ago at the young age of 5, when suddenly out of the blue during a holiday to Shetland visiting family, I was struck down with severe asthma and 6 months later diagnosed with Crohn's Disease (IBD).
As a result I’ve spent most of my life yoyo-ing in and out of hospital, undergone 4 major abdominal surgeries ( 2 of which were emergencies), a close brush with death, countless procedures and pumped full of pharmaceuticals which unfortunately took a toll on my body. During this time I battled with crippling anxiety, severe stress, insomnia, PTSD, depression, fertility struggles just to name a few and then I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in late 2016. This latter diagnosis, as well as trying to start a family, was the major turning point in my life. I started heavily researching into a more natural, holistic path in order to heal the route causes, damaging belief systems and traumas that were making me ill and crucially holding me back from enjoying life and getting pregnant. My relationship with food, the products I use and my general life style was flipped on its head and I made it my goal to heal myself- mind, body, soul and spirit!
My holistic journey started 4 yrs ago (Sept 2015) when a friend recommended that I try Reiki in a bid to help control my crippling anxiety- I was regularly having panic attacks and couldn’t sleep without the use of strong sleeping medication- not the place you want to be in the build up to your wedding day! This is when I met Kat (Katrina Clark) who would later become my reiki master and now good friend.
In March 2016 I decided to do my Reiki Level 1 initially to help support both myself and my husband during our IVF process, and then went on to complete Level 2 in July 2016 and Advanced in August 2016 when I realised this was in fact my calling. The love, support, nurturing, healing, inner peace, space that Reiki has given me has been incredible. Not only did it feel natural, it felt like I belonged here. I originally set up this page under the name Urban City Reiki mid 2016 with the aim to launch my Reiki business, however I had to put that dream on hold when my health suddenly deteriorated and the diagnosis of Fibromyalgia followed.
With a strong connection with nature, undertaking Shamanic training at Lendrick Lodge throughout 2017 with Stephen Mulhern was a natural calling and I successfully graduated in October that year in various techniques. Both Calum (my husband) and myself completed our intensive Breathwork Training again at Lendrick Lodge in April 2017 with the amazing Peggy Dylan, the following month I went on to complete my Reiki Masters with Kat. In June 2017 I went on a wee adventure down to the south west of England to complete my 1-2-1 training in Sound Healing with Lesley Carol, which I successfully qualified in, in February 2018. Having always been interested in reflexology as well as enjoying the odd facial now and again (self love time), I jumped at the chance to train in Facial Reflexology with Jacqui Munro in 2018.
I slowly began to realise that each healing technique helped to unfold or unlock a new layer; to be acknowledged, to be healed, to be experienced, to be let go of- from its unique angle at the right moment of time.
Then the light bulb moment... a combination, a bespoke approach to health and wellness, is what we each require, after all we are each beautifully unique! Gathering different tools for our own health and wellness journey is crucial and that’s what I’m proud to uniquely offer at Labryinths... a fusion approach that’s bespoke to your path!
Thank you for taking the time to read about who I am, I hope in sharing some of my story it can help others know they aren’t alone and to reach out any time. It’s always nice to know someone can relate and understand what you are going through.
I look forward to supporting you through your health and wellness journey.
Much Love
Rebecca Aah ###
