Natasha is passionate about the positive benefits of Reiki and enjoys giving treatments as a way of helping others to obtain a calm and balanced outlook on life. Reiki is especially useful as a relaxation tool but also has beneficial affects on the body’s healing process, and is particularly good as a way of balancing the body, emotions and spirit in order to initiate a positive frame of mind, helping clients cope with the stresses and strains of life.
Reiki treatments are non tactile and entirely safe.
Reiki is now a popular form of energy healing which originated in Japan. It is a holistic treatment which balances, rejuvenates and harmonises the body. Reiki utilises the universal energy around us, resonating through our bodies in order to achieve balance within all levels of the energy field that surrounds us.
The system was developed by a Buddhist priest called Dr Mikao Usui, who following a 21 day meditative retreat was given a series of Sanskrit symbols, together with explanations of how they should be used to awaken spiritual energy.
Mrs Hawayo Takata discovered this system in the 1930’s following several successful treatments and subsequently trained to become a Reiki Master herself under Dr Chujiro Hayasi, who in turn had been trained by Dr Mikao Usui himself. When Mrs Takata died in 1980 she had trained 22 masters, who also trained their own masters and in this way the practise has spread to the whole of the world.
Reiki healers act as a channel for the flow of universal energy for the well being and benefit of the person receiving a Reiki treatment. The healer places their hands in various positions around the body prompting the body to naturally heal on a physical, emotional, and spiritual level.
The use of Reiki with a drum is a relatively new technique which was brought to this country in 2007 by Sarah Gregg. It allows the beating of the drum to introduce Reiki to the body’s energy fields, as well as to shift energy blocks and bring about deep relaxation.
Reiki Drum journeying is also available which uses the drum to create a deep meditative state, in order for information to be gained to guide the client in any area of their life that is required.

My first Reiki treatment was shortly after the birth of my third child in 2003. I had suffered with very swollen ankles and even after the birth, they continued to hurt. My mother suggested that I go and have a Reiki treatment with a lady called Rosie who taught her Tai Chi and as she was highly recommended, and I trusted my mother’s opinion, I went. I did not know what to expect and do not think that I relaxed very well at all as I was too busy listening to what she was doing, and where she was standing!
At times in the beginning I did question whether Reiki is affective and why I was learning to give treatments, but I have never really thought seriously about stopping my use of this therapy. Something has always drawn me back, and I believe that it was due to the fact that I always came away from giving and receiving treatments, feeling as though my batteries had been recharged.
If you choose a Reiki Drum treatment then I will use the drum to pass Reiki into your energy field. Drumming is known to lower the speed of your brain waves, so that you can enter a deep meditative state. This has a very calming effect on the body which lowers blood pressure and reduces stress. 
Reiki Drum journeying is using the drum to enter a deep meditative state, and requesting answers to some of life’s everyday problems from your own inner wisdom. When we quieten the mind of everyday concerns, the answers to issues that we have may become very apparent. As you are participating in resolving your own problems this can be very empowering and can positively affect a client’s self esteem.
If you should wish to receive a treatment or discuss any aspect of the treatments shown please contact me by email, when I will also be able to advise you on availability and cost.
