Traditional, modern and intuitive techniques are shared, and Reiki 2 is also a professional qualification that allows you to offer Reiki treatments as part of a healing practice.

Joanne is delighted to be a Reiki Evolution associated teacher and is thrilled to be using their comprehensive resources.

It's the most beautiful, wholesome, place - especially for the curvy among us

06/01/2026

As we step into 2026, many of us are arriving with mixed feelings. Relief that another year has turned, but also tiredness, questions, and a sense that life is asking more of us than ever.

If your nervous system feels frayed, if your mind is busy, or if your heart is carrying more than you can easily say out loud, you are not alone. This is exactly the place from which real change can begin.

I offer different ways to rest and reconnect.
🪷 Yoga to bring you back into your body.
🪷 Meditation and Yoga Nidra to quieten the mind and support deep rest.
🪷 Reiki to support your energy.
🪷 Coaching to help you clarify what you want this year to look and feel like.

You can explore all of these on the Joanne Sumner Wellbeing website and follow the links through to what calls you most: https://joannesumner.com/shop/

January can be a shock to the system. We often go straight from the intensity of December back into work, family life and to do lists, without pausing to feel how we actually are.

Yoga offers a weekly anchor point where you can exhale, move gently, and come back into relationship with your body. In class we work with accessible postures, breath and relaxation to release tension, rebuild strength, and create a little more space in your day.

Classes run both online and in person, so you can join from home or in Bishop’s Waltham, depending on what works best for you.

Reiki invites you to rest in gentle presence. Hands are light. Breathing deepens. The nervous system settles and the fog begins to lift. Guidance is often quiet; it appears when the body feels safe enough to hear it.
