🌿 In a world that never stops giving, give yourself permission to receive.
For busy individuals or for educators, caregivers, and professionals in high-stress, high-responsibility roles, the emotional toll of showing up for others can be deep and unseen. Whether you're holding space for vulnerable children, navigating complex systems, or simply keeping everything afloat—you deserve space to rest, reset, and reconnect.
That’s where Reiki comes in.
Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive energy healing practice that supports your body and mind to return to balance. It can help ease stress, reduce emotional overwhelm, and support recovery from burnout or trauma—without the need for words or explanations.
✨ Trauma-Informed, Grounded in Compassion
As a trauma-informed coach, Reiki practitioner, and former head teacher with over 20 years of frontline leadership experience, I understand the emotional demands professionals face—especially those in education, care, and safeguarding roles.
My Reiki practice is grounded, inclusive, and designed for those who rarely take time for themselves. Whether you're carrying the weight of others’ wellbeing or simply need to feel like someone sees you, my space offers calm, safety, and deep energetic replenishment.

Pooja from Solihull
Working with Nick has been a life changing experience. I came to him stuck , anxious and unable to break certain patterns that were holding me back. Through his calm presence and highly skilled hypnotherapy sessions, I was able to access parts of myself I hadn't been able to reach before. nick created a safe judgement free space where I could let go, heal and reprogram old habits and beliefs with surprising ease. Each session left me feeling lighter, clearer and more aligned with who I want to be. I'm deeply grateful for Nick's intuitive guidance and the practical changes that have come from our work together. I can't recommend him enough to anyone looking for real, lasting transformation.
