Hello there, and welcome to “A Healing Place”!

My name is Jenny and I grew up in Kent, moving to Hertfordshire over 20 years ago, and have lived in Stotfold for over 12 years now.

I have always been interested in meditation and spirituality, but a turning point came for me when I visited a Spa in Leicestershire some years ago and experienced a fantastic Reiki treatment. To be honest, I didn’t really know what I was letting myself in for. It just sounded interesting in the treatment booklet and I thought I’d give it a go – so I found Reiki completely by accident!

It was a real “Eureka!” moment for me. Emotion that I had carried around for 17 years was effortlessly dissolved, and I felt much lighter and brighter as a result. I also saw amazing colours and had an out of body experience – something I now know is quite rare, although not unheard of. Although I always see beautiful colours both when receiving and giving treatments, I think my first experience of Reiki was the most powerful I’ve ever had. I now think that this was meant to happen to ensure that I would go on to learn Reiki and share it with other people. On my return home I sought a suitable teacher and found one in Taggart King of Reiki Evolution, an internationally renowned school with which I completed all 3 levels of Reiki from Reiki 1 to Master Teacher. I have never looked back.

Reiki has been a wonderfully positive force in my life, making subtle changes to my attitudes and responses to life’s experiences. Looking back I can see how much I’ve changed and how much happier I am in my life now. Reiki can work in some strange ways, and at the time we may fight against it, but it is always for our highest good. For instance, I have known people who have broken up with partners, changed jobs, moved house etc which might seem traumatic events, but these were changes they needed to make in their lives, Reiki just gave them the strength and will to do so. Similarly, there are people whose relationships have improved and grown as a result of Reiki, and I like to think I fall into this group! I think I appreciate my husband more these days and I’ve certainly stopped trying to change him! I’ve come to accept we can only ever change ourselves.

It seemed a natural progression to go on to learn other therapies, and as you will see from this website, I have spent the last few years learning many new things, the latest being the Face Lift Massage.

I did a Level 3 Diploma in Reflexology in 2006/7, a level 3 Diploma in Head Massage in 2008, and in 2009 did a Reiki Drum course with Sarah Gregg of Reiki Drum UK and a Hopi Ear Candling course with Oasis Time in St Albans. At the end of 2010 I trained in Face Lift Massage at the London Centre of Indian Champissage with Kundan Mehta.

At the start of 2009 I also started teaching Reiki 1 and 2, and from 2011 am also offering the Reiki Master/Teacher course. I have been very privileged to share Reiki with a number of students over the last couple of years and it is something I am very passionate about.
