Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach

26/08/2025

Since I started writing my Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach Blog, 18 months ago, there’s one subject I’ve always avoided writing about: cancer.

I’ve avoided it because, writing about cancer, and how Reiki can help, is a subject that’s so very close to my heart. Indeed, Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach only exists because my mam was diagnosed with cancer.

Although I've now had several miraculous experiences with Reiki, and witnessed its effects on cancer, I didn’t feel I wanted to defend myself in public with the inevitable critics who’ll no doubt disagree with what I’m about to write.

But last week I encountered three separate cancer diagnosis: two for very special friends of mine, and a third for a new client – who will very definitely become a special friend, as we work together on their cancer journey.

So, I think the Universe is giving me a nudge, and it’s about time I pinned my colours to the mast: Reiki helps in SOOOOO many ways when cancer comes calling, and this week I’d like to tell you about just a few of them.

Everybody knows that a cancer diagnosis can be one of the most devastating experiences in a person's life. So, it's hardly surprising that as the rigours of treatment take their toll, many people seek complementary therapies like Reiki to help them manage symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Reiki aims to support the body's natural healing processes. It’s a gentle, non-invasive approach, which involves practitioners like me channeling healing energy to the recipient, promoting relaxation and balance.

And while I’m the first to admit that more scientific studies on Reiki's efficacy are needed, anecdotal evidence (and my own, lived experience) suggests that this ancient healing technique really can provide important and vital benefits to cancer patients.

Reiki is now offered in hospitals, GP practices and hospices throughout the country, and Cancer Research UK have some excellent information on their website about how Reiki can help after a cancer diagnosis.

To learn more about how Reiki can help you or a loved one on their cancer journey, you can read my full Blog by clicking here: https://www.mintaka-reiki.com/blog

But in the meantime, if you’re one of those people stoically trying to keep your head above water, while at the same time you feel like you’re drowning after your cancer diagnosis, let me reassure you that Reiki really can be the light that guides you through the darkness.

In this week’s Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach Blog, I talk about a wonderful pick-your-own, organic flower workshop I visited earlier today. Nestled right in the heart of Sandbach’s amazing countryside, this was my first visit to the secret flower farm and it really was a joy to experience!

Katy, the founder of Grove and Green flower-farm (groveandgreen.co.uk) explained how she only started her business at the start of the year, and it really was a labour of love.

That’s when the similarities between our two small Sandbach businesses suddenly struck me: Katy plants her seeds, she makes sure growing conditions are just right – but then she has to stand back and hand over control to Mother Nature.

And that’s exactly what I do, too.

Every time someone comes to see me in The Cabin, I plant a Reiki seed, with love, but then I have to stand back and trust that my client has received everything they needed in order to bloom – because those Reiki seeds need time to grow.

But in the coming days, those seeds will always make their presence known. Perhaps pain will ease, or confidence returns, maybe stress won’t have so much of an impact anymore.

Often, the following morning when they wake-up after their Reiki Treatment they’ll perhaps feel ‘lighter’. But what they’re actually feeling is ‘normal’ – it’s how they should naturally feel every single day, if their Reiki river is flowing smoothly. Sadly, though, life gets in the way, and those rocks can start to dam up the stream again!

Of course, you don’t have to wait for a weekly or monthly appointment with a Reiki practitioner to have a top-up – by learning how to give yourself a self-treatment, you literally have Reiki at your fingertips, whenever you need it. It’s so easy to learn, and you can read more about my Reiki Training by clicking here: https://www.mintaka-reiki.com/about-2

It’s not like waving a magic wand of course, you have to practice, and be persistent – and just like Katy and her beautiful flowers, you have to be patient once you’ve planted the seed, recognising that we’re not in control how healing takes place, Reiki is.

But just like flowers bloom, healing always happens, when the time is right, and in a way that’s exactly right for you.

I love it when I get feedback from clients, telling me how much the healing energy of Reiki has helped them after visiting Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach.

It’s always wonderful to hear about breakthrough moments, or how pain has been reduced, and several of my clients have been genuinely emotional as they’ve recounted how their experience with Reiki has delivered much-needed healing in ways they’d never expected.

But what I REALLY love, is when a Reiki sceptic finally sees the light! And that happened again this week.

In my Blog this week, I explain how, for years now, I’ve offered Reiki to one particular friend (let’s call him Bob, to maintain client confidentiality) whenever he’s been experiencing life’s lows.

But Bob’s always refused it.

As a practicing NHS professional, it’s Bob job to help people heal. So, it’s perhaps understandable that when I talk about this unseen ‘energy’ that I somehow channel into people to also help them heal, he flat refuses to accept it.

To say he’s a Reiki sceptic is an understatement!
For anyone who doesn’t know, Reiki is a safe, natural, and simple healing technique, centred on relaxation and stress relief, which in turn helps to heal the body, mind and spirit. It’s based on the belief that an unseen life force energy flows through us all, affecting both our physical and emotional health.
During Reiki sessions, practitioners like me use hands-on techniques to transfer energy to a client, promoting healing and balance.
Needless to say, Bob thinks it all sounds a bit far-fetched. But as I explain in my Blog, after his first Reiki session with me, he’s now very much a convert.
Bob’s experience got me thinking about those of you reading this who, like him, may be a little sceptical about whether Reiki ‘works’ or whether it’s right for you.

There really is only one way to find out, and that’s to have a Reiki Treatment. And hopefully, like Bob, once you’ve felt the blissful healing benefits of Reiki, and discovered for yourself how it can help both physical and emotional needs, your scepticism can finally take a step back.

I’d like to invite you to learn Reiki with me! My next Reiki Training workshops are: Reiki I on Saturday September 13th and Reiki II on Sunday September 14th.

If you've had a Reiki Treatment with me, or any other Reiki practitioner, then I hope you'd agree it was also a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience.

So, imagine what it would be like to feel that sense of calm and balance every day, whenever you needed it... because by learning Reiki for yourself, you can!
That means the next time you wake-up in the early hours, your mind buzzing with anxiety or worry, you'll be able to give yourself a soothing Reiki self-treatment - without even having to get out of bed - helping you drift back to sleep quickly.
Reiki I is the first Reiki level and is the ideal introduction to this ancient Japanese healing practice. As a Reiki Master/Teacher with over 16 years of experience, I will teach you not only how to give yourself a self-treatment, but how to treat family and friends, too.

As a Mintaka Reiki student, you’ll also have access to a monthly Reiki Share in The Cabin, where you can meet fellow Reiki people, practice, and receive Reiki for yourself – completely FREE.

Taking Reiki II Training is for those who have already taken Reiki I (either with me, or elsewhere). This training deepens your knowledge of Reiki and attunes you to ancient symbols and techniques, which not only enriches your own self-treatment, but shows you how to ‘distantly’ help others, too.

My next workshops are: Reiki I on Saturday September 13th and Reiki II on Sunday September 14th.

Full details are available on my website: https://www.mintaka-reiki.com/about-2

So, what do you think? Is Reiki calling you to explore further?

It’s almost 18 months since I opened Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach and in this week’s Blog I explain that I’ve had around 200 clients coming to The Cabin to enjoy a natural, relaxing, and healing Reiki Treatment.

With so many of them returning for regularly Reiki, I know without doubt that this ancient healing technique is helping them turn things around, and nothing gives me greater joy then to see the remarkable healing effects of Reiki… except, maybe, to see people learning how to give themselves Reiki, by attending one of my one-day Reiki Training days!

For anyone who doesn’t know, Reiki is a safe, natural, and simple healing technique, centred on relaxation and stress relief, which in turn helps to heal the body, mind and spirit.

Last week, as I greeted a new client to Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach, I could tell straight away that he felt very nervous, and was clearly apprehensive about what he’d been signed up to!

Now, I always try my best to put everyone at ease when they come to The Cabin, and I like to think I usually succeed, but this one chap… well, it took just a little bit longer to calm his nerves, and in this week’s Blog I explain how his first Reiki Treatment went.

I can honestly say it was a privilege to meet him. And I’m very grateful that he agreed to carve out some time for himself and accept his wife’s gift of a Reiki Treatment. Because he really did need some time to dedicate entirely to his own well-being.

For anyone who doesn’t know, Reiki is a safe, natural, and simple healing technique, centred on relaxation and stress relief, which in turn helps to heal the body, mind and spirit. It’s based on the belief that an unseen life force energy flows through us all, affecting both our physical and emotional health. During Reiki sessions, practitioners like me use hands-on techniques to transfer energy to a client, promoting healing and balance.

Sadly, so many people don’t give themselves that same space. They allow their nerves about trying something new to get the better of them (not that energy healing is a new therapy, it’s been around for thousands of years). But people just soldier on, putting everyone else’s needs before their own, until finally they break under the strain.

Time spent with Reiki, however, is time dedicated to a re-set. And when life starts to overwhelm us, we all need one of those every now and now.

I’m pleased to report that, by the end of our Reiki time together, all my client’s nerves had gone, and there was nothing but positive energy in the room.

He admitted he hadn’t felt so relaxed in years – and he definitely didn’t want to get off the treatment bed. Result!

So, if you’re worried about taking that first step and exploring Reiki for yourself, I hope you’ll feel a little less nervous after reading this. It really is such an uplifting experience, and I’d love you to experience it, too.

Don’t be nervous – just press the button, I promise you won’t regret it.

Being a Reiki person, I like to think I don’t worry. Whatever happens, whatever challenges life throws at me, I really do my best not to worry about ‘what ifs’ and to trust that all will be well. Because it always is. And I know that worrying is such a waste of time!

That said, I’ve been tested recently, which I talk about in this week’s Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach Blog.

I’ve been doing a lot of self-practice, giving myself Reiki, and that always lifts my spirits. And I suppose a really positive side-effect of my own lowered mood is that it’s helping me empathise even more with what so many of my clients are going through.

Whether it’s feeling overwhelmed with life, struggling with exhaustion, or simply being unsure where to turn to next, the effects of worry and stress can manifest in so many different ways, and no two people experience it in exactly the same way.

But just as I have found this week, there is always one constant resource out there that can help you with your worry and stress: Reiki.
For anyone who doesn’t know, Reiki is an ancient Japanese energy healing practice, which is centred on relaxation and stress relief. It’s based on the belief that an unseen life force energy flows through us all, affecting both our physical and emotional health, and a Reiki practitioner like me uses hands-on techniques and focussed intention to realign a client’s energy, thereby promoting healing and balance.
Reiki allows your energy to flow freely again, so as your stress and worry starts to melt away, clarity returns, and a feeling of spaciousness and lightness grows.

So, if you are feeling stressed or worried or anxious right now, why not prioritise yourself for a change, lighten the load, and be kind to yourself? Allow Reiki to be your friend.

I recently started watching that new Noel Edmonds documentary on ITV: Noel’s Kiwi Adventure. Like me, Noel’s big into the benefits of energy healing and is on a one-man mission to heal himself.

Most people don’t have the kind of money Noel has to invest in a holistic lifestyle. But as I write in this week’s Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach Blog, that doesn’t have to stop anyone from seeking out energy healing to help them with relaxation and stress relief, which in turn helps to heal the body, mind, and spirit.

Indeed, in episode two of this three-part documentary, Noel explains his new mission to build New Zealand’s first Energy Garden – and it suddenly occurred to me that Noel and I also have something else in common.

Because I already have an energy garden! And everyone who comes to The Cabin for a Reiki Treatment can experience it’s healing benefits.

It’s a well-known fact that being outside in nature instantly starts the healing process in us all. People come to The Cabin for Reiki for a multitude of reasons – from stress, anxiety, pain, infertility… you name it, I’ve seen it. Without exception, however, everyone who comes also share one thing in common: the need to STOP.

And that’s what Reiki does – it helps you to take time out of your busy life, to concentrate entirely on your own wellbeing. Reiki offers a peaceful sanctuary from the outside noise.

That’s undoubtedly what Noel Edmunds is aiming to achieve with his New Zealand Energy Garden, and I like to think that’s what our energy garden does too – except you don’t have to travel 11,000 miles to experience it: just pop in to Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach!

I can’t even begin to tell you how excited and delighted I am by recent events – with news of TWO new Reiki babies!

Since starting Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach, just over a year ago, I’ve always felt that working with children and mothers-to-be would make up a very important part of my practice.

So, you can image how excited I was back in April 2024 when two of my very first clients who came to The Cabin for Reiki were two women who, although they each had very different stories, shared the same end goal: to get pregnant!

In this week’s Blog, I tell their stories, which has resulted in one client recently giving birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl, and two days later, client number two came to tell me that she was pregnant!

The joy I felt upon hearing the news of each of those two precious Reiki babies, was incredible. The timing was also perfect. Because although I’ve been working with each woman for roughly the same amount of time, they each had very different experiences to navigate along the way.

And it takes as long as it takes to do that. But Reiki was there for them, every step of the way.

“Reiki is what got me through a very difficult time. My appointment with Denise each week forced me to take time out of my busy week to be here, in The Cabin, where I could just rest, and relax, and be at peace. Talking with Denise really did change my mind-set, and it helped me believe that this really would happen for me. And now it has.”

So, for anyone else reading this, who’s also facing their own fertility journey, please know that you are not alone in this – Reiki really can help you, in so many ways.

I also offer special rates for anyone who wants to commit to regular Reiki in The Cabin, to help them on their fertility journey. So, if that’s you, or someone you know, I really would love to work with you. You can book an appointment by clicking here: mintaka-reiki.com/book-online

Are you dealing a health crisis that needs action RIGHT NOW? Maybe you’re facing a deeply emotional issue and don’t know what to do next? Are you about to start an intensive course of NHS treatment?

Then I’m hoping my new Reiki Intensive could be for you!

As word of Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach spreads, and appointments get booked up, I know from feedback from my clients that some have been struggling to find a free treatment slot – and for that I sincerely apologise, because when you need Reiki, you often need it now…not in two or three weeks’ time.

Hence, my Reiki Intensive!

I always tell my clients that you can never have too much Reiki, especially when facing life hurdles. And as it’s the cumulative effect of Reiki that often shows results soonest, I’ve come up with a plan whereby you come to The Cabin for Reiki for FIVE CONSECUTIVE DAYS.

You see, by having five consecutive Reiki Treatments within the same week – at a hugely reduced price – it’s my hope that your healing journey will receive the impactful kick-start it needs: and you’ll hopefully see significant, and more immediate, results sooner.

Appointment dates and timings will be arranged by mutual agreement – the only stipulation being that you book five Reiki Treatments on consecutive days (which can include weekends).

If this sounds like something you’d like to try, you can find out more by clicking here and going to my website: https://www.mintaka-reiki.com/about-5-1

You’d be amazed at some of the questions I get asked about Reiki, when people come to visit me at Mintaka Reiki in Sandbach. Will Reiki help with my morning sickness? Does it stop headaches? Can it help me not to worry?

And I always have the same answer: yes!

I know you might find that hard to believe, but I have never come across anything that Reiki cannot help to heal.

From the really big stuff to the small stuff, it has an impact on everything, and in this week’s Blog I explain more.

And yet Reiki is very gentle. It’s also deeply relaxing, so it’s easily adapted to most medical conditions and all situations. It can be used safely by people of all ages, including pregnant mothers, new-born babies, surgical patients, the frail, and the elderly.

Reiki is an “holistic” practice, which means it treats all of you – body, mind, and soul – but while Reiki is spiritual in nature, it isn’t based on any belief or religion, so you really don’t even have to believe it works, for it to work!

Ultimately, Reiki offers a pathway to unlocking the power within ourselves. And by embracing this ancient healing technique, we can find moments of peace and relaxation in our busy lives, restoring balance to our physical and emotional well-being.

So, why not take a step towards unlocking your own power within and explore the benefits of Reiki with me? I really don’t think you’ll regret it.
