I have seen many clients over the last few years who are undergoing treatment for cancer. Reiki, combined with Hypnotherapy, is a gentle treatment that can work alongside conventional treatment, supporting the body's natural abilities to heal, reducing anxiety and other side effects.

Cancer Research UK has provided helpful information on their website on the use of complementary therapy. It does not replace conventional medical treatment. But used alongside it, it may help you to feel better and cope better with your cancer and treatment.

Reiki is a type of energy healing and is a complementary therapy. It is sometimes used as a palliative or supportive therapy for people with cancer.

I have recently been accredited by the CNHC - Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council and am now listed on their approved register.

The CNHC is the UK's independent voluntary regulator for complementary healthcare practitioners, established with government support to protect the public. Its register is accredited by the Professional Standards Authority for Health and Social Care (PSA), an independent body accountable to Parliament. The General Medical Council (GMC) guidance confirms that doctors are able to refer patients to practitioners on a PSA-Accredited Register like the CNHC's. The Department of Health has also recommended that people seeking complementary therapies use a CNHC-registered practitioner.

🌿 Pain isn’t just physical — it’s also neurological.
Hypnotherapy works by calming the nervous system and changing how the brain processes pain signals. Many clients report reduced discomfort, deeper relaxation, and improved day-to-day functioning.

If you’re exploring natural, evidence-based ways to manage pain, hypnotherapy could be a powerful option.

So many of the beliefs we hold about ourselves – “I’m not good enough,” “I’ll never change,” “I can’t cope” – are rooted deep in the subconscious mind. They often formed years ago, sometimes from just one experience or repeated messages we absorbed without question.

Hypnotherapy works by gently accessing this subconscious part of the mind, where these old patterns live. In this relaxed state, you’re more open to new perspectives, allowing you to question unhelpful beliefs and replace them with healthier, empowering ones.

It’s not about “reprogramming” you – it’s about giving your mind the space to see things differently, so you can choose beliefs that truly support your wellbeing and goals.

🌿 Imagine shifting from “I can’t” to “I am capable.”
🌿 From “I don’t deserve” to “I am worthy.”
🌿 From “I’m stuck” to “I can change.”

That’s the power of hypnotherapy: helping you reconnect with your inner strength and create lasting positive change.

Thank you to my lovely client for sharing this feedback with me recently. I have been a bit quiet on social media but have still been seeing lots of clients over the summer. I have also had lots of new clients that have been referred through word of mouth. The very best recommendation!

Thank you so much for your ongoing support. It never feels like work, it always feels like such a privilege to share the power of reiki and hypnotherapy with people.

Many of my clients come to try Reiki when they are experiencing stress and overwhelm. Reiki is often used to reduce stress and anxiety through its calming, restorative effects. By channelling energy through the hands, Reiki helps clear blockages and restore balance to the body’s energy system.

Here's how Reiki may help with stress and anxiety:

Reiki encourages a deep state of relaxation by stimulating the body’s natural healing abilities. This can help lower heart rate, blood pressure, and overall tension in the body—leading to a sense of calm.

Reiki balances our energy field. When energy is unbalanced or blocked, it can contribute to emotional or physical discomfort. Stress and anxiety often stem from emotional imbalances.

Reiki helps to release trapped emotions and provide emotional clarity, helping individuals process difficult feelings in a calm, nurturing environment.

Contact me if you would like to have a chat before trying Reiki for the first time.
