Reiki healing, spiritual healing and chakra balancing all work with gentle healing energy to support balance in the body’s energy centres and encourage calm, relaxation and wellbeing.​
Whichever type of healing you choose, in our experience the appropriate energy flows to where it is needed most.
Sessions can focus on particular areas of concern and can support you on a physical, emotional, mental or spiritual level. Because healing can work across all of these levels at the same time, many find it supportive for their overall sense of wellbeing.
​
All sessions are available in person at our private therapy room, or remotely where you can receive distant healing in the comfort of your own home. Many people find remote sessions work well because spiritual energy is not limited by time or space.​
For your first healing treatment with us, we recommend a minimum 45-minute session with an initial consultation (by phone or video call if remote) so we can tailor the experience for you.
​
​
Healing sessions can be deeply calming and gentle to experience, helping to support a sense of balance and wellbeing. You simply relax on our professional healing couch while the healer places their hands lightly over different areas such as the head, shoulders, waist, arms and legs. Crystals may also be used to support the flow of energy, chosen intuitively for each session. For remote sessions, we suggest finding a quiet place to rest while the healing is being sent
.
We always aim to help you feel comfortable throughout the session, and many clients tell us they feel relaxed and at ease while the healing is taking place.
The session ends with a short discussion (by phone or video call if remote) where we share impressions and offer gentle spiritual guidance. Many people describe feeling calm, settled or more centred afterwards, as each person experiences healing in their own way.
​
As healers, we allow the healing energy to flow gently, and while we always aim to help our clients, we cannot promise or determine any particular outcome. In our experience, the energy often flows to where it is needed most at the time, which may be different from what you had in mind. The best approach is to stay open minded, let go of preconceived ideas and allow the session to unfold naturally.
​How long you continue with healing is entirely your choice. Many people like to have a block of sessions and then review how they feel, while others prefer to book from time to time when they feel it would be helpful. There is no set number of sessions, as each person's needs and circumstances are different.
​
Many clients tell us they feel calmer, more centred or generally uplifted after a session. Healing is a personal process and everyone experiences it in their own way.
​
Healing can support a sense of balance and wellbeing, and many people find it helps them feel calmer and more settled within themselves. Healing works with the body's energy system rather than only the physical body directly, so people with a range of circumstances or challenges sometimes choose it as a gentle, supportive addition to their usual care. Each person experiences healing in their own way.
​
When someone is living with a life-limiting or terminal condition, healing can offer a feeling of comfort, peace or emotional support. Some describe it as helping them connect with acceptance, understanding or a sense of being held with love during a difficult stage of life. Any spiritual guidance that arises is shared with sensitivity and aims to support the person in whatever way feels right for them.
​
​
Just try to arrive with an open mind. We are a friendly bunch and aim to help you feel at ease from the moment you step in, and we explain everything clearly so you know what to expect. For healing sessions, comfortable clothing and minimal perfumes or aftershaves are usually best, as this can help you relax into the session more easily.
​
We encourage clients to let go of any expectations about how things should feel, as every session is different and people experience them in their own way.
You are welcome to ask any questions during your session. Many clients tell us they feel calmer or more centred afterwards.
​
This can be for different reasons. Some people seek clarity around work, relationships, family or life choices, while others are looking for reassurance, guidance or a sense of connection.
Mediumship readings can offer a gentle spiritual perspective by linking with those in the spirit, sharing messages of comfort, reassurance and guidance. This can help people understand what feels right for them and what their next steps might be. Oracle card mediumship readings can also be helpful for life path guidance, and tarot card readings offer a focused psychic reading that explores where you are in life and the influences around you.
​
We all have free will, and it is always up to each person to decide what feels right for them. Many clients tell us that having a reading helps them see things more clearly so they can move forward with more confidence.
​
​
Mediumship readings work through a gentle blending of energy. The medium raises their energy and spirit adjusts theirs so a connection can be made. This creates a spiritual link based on unconditional love and allows the medium to sense information from those in the spirit.
​
Our mediums may work with a mix of spiritual senses, such as clear seeing, sensing, feeling or hearing, and use these to share messages of reassurance, upliftment and gentle guidance from spirit loved ones and guides.
​
Oracle cards can also be used during mediumship readings to offer intuitive life path guidance. Tarot cards provide a focused psychic reading with no spirit contact, using pictorial cards to explore where you are in life, including past and present influences and any that may be coming in.
For the best experience, our readings are exclusively one-to-one. This helps create a deeper personal connection and clearer insights tailored just for you.
​
Messages in our mediumship readings are personal to each client and are brought through with care and sensitivity. Our mediums blend with the energy of spirit to share information that may include feelings, memories, personalities, objects or moments that help you recognise who may be communicating. Alongside this, you may receive gentle guidance that relates to what is happening in your life at the time.
​
Every reading is unique. The medium’s own personality blends with the communicator, which means the style of the message can vary from one reading to another. Some details may feel very specific, while others may come through more subtly. Many clients find that the combination of evidence and gentle guidance helps bring reassurance and a sense of connection.
​​
As mediums, we allow the spiritual link to flow naturally, and while we always aim to help our clients, we cannot guarantee or choose who may connect or what information may come through, as the link is guided by spirit. In our experience, spirit brings through what is needed at the time, which may be different from what you had in mind. We do not claim to be fortune tellers or to predict the future. Sometimes future-related insights may arise naturally, although this cannot be promised. The best approach is to stay open minded, let go of preconceived ideas and allow the session to unfold naturally.
​
​
​​​Oracle cards are intuitive tools the medium may use during a reading to offer gentle guidance and insight. They can be helpful when you are exploring your life path, making decisions or moving through a period of change. The messages reflect the meaning of the chosen cards and are brought through to support your own intuition and sense of direction. Many find that the symbolism of the cards helps them understand what feels right for them at the time.
​
Tarot cards are used to give a focused psychic reading with no spirit contact. The pictorial cards can offer insight into where you are in life, how past influences have shaped your path, and what influences may be coming towards you.

We host a regular meditation group in our private therapy room, and it has become a popular space for people who enjoy a calm, supportive setting. We currently have a waiting list as places are limited. Simply contact us and we will get back to you.
​
As experienced mediums and healers, we take great care to create a safe, positive and relaxing environment for all our sessions. We work with spiritual protection as part of our practice, and our private therapy room is kept calm and energetically cleansed with methods such as crystals and gentle clearing practices. Many clients tell us they feel peaceful and settled in the space.
​
In spiritual practice, energy is often understood in the same way we understand people, with different qualities and characteristics. Simple practices like visualising yourself surrounded by light can help you feel grounded and supported in day to day life. Approaches like this are gentle, reassuring and easy for anyone to use.
​
People’s religion or personal beliefs do not affect the experience of a reading or healing session with us. We work with a gentle, universal energy that is not linked to any specific religion or belief system. Our sessions are offered with care, compassion and intuitive awareness, helping you feel comfortable whatever your background or beliefs may be.
