ABOUT
I am a member of the UK Reiki Federation and certified Reiki practitioner based in the East of England with training in both Western and Japanese lineages in the Usui System since 2016. I studied at Reiki Academy London with Reiki Masters Torsten Alexander Lange and Anne-Marie Carruta. My training has included Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology and in the future I aim to do further studies into ReikiScience. I work one-to-one and offer distant sessions also. I regularly work with distant clients in London, Spain, South America & India. My spiritual journey into Mindfulness, Yoga and Meditation started over ten years ago with a health-related issue and I continue to explore what it means to live in balance in today's modern world. Developing a Reiki practice in 2016 has led me to a deeper core understanding of the positive effects that energy within and around us can bring to the mind-body when it's in flow.
Creative approach
With a background as a nature-based artist practicing environmental art as therapy, including gaining experiential training in some Ecotherapy modalities I strongly believe in nature as a healer, and how both our inner and outer environments need to align. I have a fluid approach and I work best for the client organically and intuitively with light movement or hand positions on the body's main energy centers trusting the subtle energies that exist.
Reiki is for everyone.
Originating in Japan over a hundred years ago, Reiki is a non-evasive, gentle form of energy healing using light touch and hand techniques on or off the body. Reiki does not require the removal of clothing. It's a simple and natural method of healing gaining momentum for its uniqueness and power to work with the universal life force energies also known as Chi or Prana, which is the vital essence that flows through all living beings.
Reiki healing is like an energy massage. Treatments leave you feeling more connected, relaxed, balanced, and open to how intuitive Reiki works for you. It can make you feel lighter, brighter, uplifted and re-connected promoting increased wellbeing. Energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or even emotional pain. In time, these energy blocks can cause illness.
Energy healing aims to help the flow of energy and remove blocks in a similar way to acupuncture or acupressure. Improving the flow of energy around the body can enable relaxation, relieve pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness. It can also help clear mental blockages bringing clarity during difficult times, when feeling stressed, stuck or during life transitions. Reiki can go beyond the surface working on a cellular level; it helps us to open up to the flow of life.
*DISCLAIMER: It is important to note that Reiki should never take the place of medical treatments. However, people living with certain health conditions may be interested in trying Reiki alongside their regular treatment. Your body will know what it needs!
TESTIMONIALS
“Sandra did a phenomenal reiki job on my mum who had fragile health at the time and was facing complications. My mum was immediately lighter after each session and Sandra was able to describe some of the health problems from her that I didn’t tell her in the first place. It was really impressive! My mum is now fully recovered and we will always be grateful for the fantastic reiki sessions!
Sandra is kind, compassionate, competent and a lovely human being too. The last session was very powerful and she holds a natural gift."

Distant session to Brazil
" I found the whole distant experience extremely calming. Afterwards, I felt a sense of inner peace and enlightenment as i had been struggling with anxiety and negative self thoughts.
As recommended by Sandra, I started the session by lighting a candle at the agreed time and made myself comfortable. After 15 minutes , my body felt a sudden sense of lightness and instant relaxation.
During the phone consultation shortly after the session I couldn’t believe it when she also felt a shift 15 minutes in, when my body became unblocked! She also clearly pinpointed some specific personal battles I had been dealing with. She discussed these beliefs/feelings/thoughts with me in such an empathetic and sensitive nature, offering words of encouragement and suggestions in order to help overcome these feelings. I felt safe and protected."

Distant session
I felt like a phoenix rising from a flame, its the most buoyant I’ve felt in weeks.

Distant session - April 2020
"Each session with Sandra leaves me feeling incredibly incredibly powerful - a soft strength that feels heart felt rather than ready for battle. My voice sounds louder, and my mind super charged- it’s always like recharging an empty battery.
I needed to feel safe and secure during some big cross roads in my life, and Sandras Reiki was powerful but with a light touch. I am so lucky to have found her as she is pure magic."

DISTANT HEALING /
£45 - 1 HR SESSION INCL TELEPHONE CONSULTATION
These gentle and often powerful sessions are not over zoom or anything and begin with both lighting a candle at an agreed time, together inviting the reiki healing to take place. Sessions are with or without music followed by a reflective telephone consultation.
Distant healings can be sent anywhere at any time, I have been known to do this for people flying. However making this space at home or somewhere where clients can relax is ideal for a truer experience.

My initial motivation for seeking Reiki was having long covid and although a lot better I was still immune suppressed, depleted of energy, feeling very low and with low mood due to the big change in my lifestyle as a result.
Meeting Sandra I instantly felt at ease. She is a special person, connecting immediately, a true professional. Neal's yard is such a lovely venue for a treatment room. Gorgeous products, surroundings, including a heated blanket all add to the experience of relaxing immediately.
I felt energised after the treatment and Sandra guided me on the after care.
It is important for me to be with someone I like, trust and makes me feel at ease, as well as a professional.

Neal's Yard Stamford, in-person session
"I have seen Sandra quite a few times over the last couple of years for reiki healing treatments. Sandra is a warm, approachable and nurturing therapist who seems to be very intuitive and focussed during the healings. I would recommend Sandra- I have always felt a shift on some level after her sessions."
