Explore Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki, Holy Fire III® Reiki, Karuna Reiki®
Usui Reiki is the foundation to all Reiki, Reiki "Reiki" (ray-key) is Japanese for ‘universal life energy’, a term used to describe a natural system to help bring about an improved sense of wellbeing and a positive feeling of spiritual renewal. This tradition was founded by Dr Mikao Usui in the early 20th century and evolved as a result of his research, experience and dedication.
It is a tradition that is open to any belief system and benefits may include deep relaxation and the promotion of a calm peaceful sense of wellbeing. The method of receiving a Reiki treatment from a practitioner is simple. The recipient remains clothed and comfortably lies on a couch or sits on a chair. The practitioner gently places their hands non-intrusively, on or near the body using their intuition and training as a guide. There is no massage or manipulation.
Reiki can be used on the person as a whole, or on specific parts of the body. It is also possible to receive Reiki at a distance. Reiki is taught by Reiki Master/Teachers, who have trained in the tradition passed on, in person, from Master to student. Students go through a process of initiation/attunement to the Reiki energy. They are then able to treat themselves and others, not only from a personal and emotional perspective, but also as an aid to individual development and spiritual growth.
The Cancer Research UK website includes details of why people with cancer use Reiki alongside their medical treatment. This does not mean Reiki is a treatment for cancer.
Choosing a practitioner It is important to choose a qualified practitioner who has undertaken all the necessary training to understand the theory and practice of Reiki. You can check whether a Reiki practitioner is registered with the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) by searching the register at www.cnhc.org.uk. By choosing Reiki practitioners registered with the CNHC you can be confident that they are properly trained, qualified and insured.
Holy Fire® III Karuna Reiki®
The Meaning of Karuna
Karuna is a Sanskrit word and is also used in Hinduism and Buddhism. It is translated to mean any action that is taken to diminish the suffering of others and could also be translated as "compassionate action." When individuals experience enlightenment, they report that all beings are known as one. Therefore, it is natural to extend compassionate action or Karuna to everyone without distinction because we are all one. As we help others and aid them in their healing process, all beings benefit. Because of the oneness of all beings, it is understood that Karuna is not only extended to others out of love, but also because it is an entirely logical thing to do. In the same way that you would want to heal your own wounds, you would also want the wounds of others to heal. It is also stated in the Buddhist literature that Karuna must be accompanied by prajna or wisdom in order to have the right effect.
Karuna is the motivating quality of all enlightened beings (also called the Brothers and Sisters of the Light) who are working to end suffering on Earth. They continually send an unlimited amount of healing energy and guidance to us, but not all are receptive to it. As you develop Karuna in yourself, not only are you helping others, but you also become more receptive to the Karuna that is being sent by the supreme being. Thus, your healing is quickened as well. Karuna Reiki® opens you to work more closely with the supreme being.
There are 8 beautiful symbols in Karuna Reiki, they can be drawn over the energy bodies, vocalised or visualised to deepen the experience for the client. they have specific frequency and vibrations.
Holy Fire® Reiki Overview in the words of William Lee Rand (Founder of Modern Day Holy Fire System of Reiki)
Holy Fire Reiki is a type of Reiki energy and a system of Reiki healing based on Holy Fire energy. Mentioned in the Bible, Holy Fire® energy has been active in the world since ancient times. Based on sessions with the late Janice Jones, a spiritual adviser, our understanding is that God, working through the Holy Spirit created Holy Fire® energy and Jesus is the one who first brought this healing energy to the Earth. While the words Jesus, God and Holy Spirit, are used in religion, in the practice of Holy Fire® Reiki we do not consider them to be religious, but instead, consider them to be spiritual in nature.
"It is important to keep in mind that the entire Holy Fire® Reiki system is not something I designed or created, but something that came to me as part of healing sessions I had with two talented spiritual healers who channelled illumined beings." Wiiliam Lee Rand
While Jesus was the spiritual master who introduced Holy Fire® Reiki, he is also part of a group called the Brothers and Sisters of the Light. This group is a combined force of all illumined beings and includes those beings from which all the world’s religions and spiritual paths have originated. Previously they were in the formless world but came into the world of form so they could assist us in the development, teaching and use of Holy Fire® Reiki. Its expression as a Reiki healing system moves Holy Fire® energy from being an experience that has happened occasionally throughout the past to those fortunate enough to experience it, to being an energy that can be utilised on a regular basis by anyone initiated as a Holy Fire® Reiki Master.
During a session Holy Fire III is used to introduce Reiki,
direct from source rather than through the
practitioner. The Holy Fire symbol is drawn and
the energy visualised before and during the session.
Personal Reiki & Restorative Energy Work
You’ve been holding a lot. Life moves fast, your nervous system stays on, and even when you finally stop, it can feel hard to truly switch off and rest.
These sessions are for the woman who needs space to soften and receive—to exhale, come back into her body, and feel steady again. If you’re at the start of your journey or not new to healing and you feel a little unsure of your next step, Reiki can be a gentle place to begin. It meets you where you are and helps you reconnect with your inner calm, clarity, and intuition.
My work is a quiet, deeply personalised blend of trauma-aware therapeutic support and Reiki-based energy work. We’ll start with what helps you feel safe and settled, and if you’re ready for deeper change, we can weave in Theta-based work within the longer restorative sessions—supporting the release of old emotional patterns, shifting what’s stuck underneath, and creating space for something new to take root.
If you’ve been looking for someone who gets it—who can meet you with warmth, steadiness, and zero pushing—you’re in the right place. We’ll go at your pace, and you’ll leave feeling more resourced, clearer inside yourself, and more connected to what’s next.
NOTE: I help all ages and genders, specialising in 50+ women on their spiritual path.
If you’re unsure which session to choose, start with the one that feels most supportive right now—your needs can change, and we can adapt as you go.

How I trained
I completed my first three levels & PRP in an apprenticeship-style way, with extensive practice on myself and with clients. This included 75 hours of documented case studies (and many more hours of practice) as well 100 hours of practiced self-care and invigilated assessment, to ensure my work was grounded in experience, not just theory.
I don’t align with the “learn fast, earn fast” culture. The Usui way is rooted in time, integration, and support. Mikao Usui spent time with his students—helping them learn how to connect deeply with the energy body and to recognise the hibiki (the energetic resonance/signals) of the client. Progression should come when a student has demonstrated understanding, practice, and readiness.
Leading on to IV Master Teacher where I not only completed this course in full, I also undertook a City & Guilds Teacher & Assessor qualification. This formalised 25+ years of experience in teaching, mentoring and training throughout my career.
For me, online courses without proper teacher and mentor support are best used for continuing professional development (CPD) only—an addition to, not a replacement for, high-quality in-person training and supervision.
Professional standards & accountability
Although Reiki isn’t formally regulated, there are meaningful ways to demonstrate commitment to professional standards. This is why I choose—voluntarily and at my own expense—to maintain registration with three separate professional bodies, including the CNHC. This doesn’t “over-regulate” Reiki; it supports good practice, ethics, and client safety.
Reiki does the work of rebalancing for the best outcomes. And when it’s offered appropriately, with clear boundaries and the perception and intuition of a skilled practitioner, it becomes an even more valuable and supportive experience.
