I decided to try the three-day emotional healing reset with Janie at a time when I felt completely burnt out, overwhelmed, and I was struggling to manage my anxiety and think clearly. From the very beginning, I felt cared for by Janie, listened to and completely supported. The techniques she used have helped me feel calmer, more grounded and importantly, much more confident in myself. By the end of the three sessions, I felt blissful — something I hadn’t experienced for a long time! I came away feeling lighter, more positive and much more enthusiastic about what the future holds. I would wholeheartedly recommend Janie’s sessions to anyone who feels overwhelmed, anxious or simply like they’re struggling to cope. The experience was genuinely cathartic for me and helped me understand and address grief I was carrying from many years ago, finally letting me feel at peace. I will be forever grateful.

I booked a Reiki session with Janie to help relieve persistent back pain that just wouldn’t shift. Physiotherapy exercises weren’t making much difference, so I decided to try Reiki, hoping it might help on a deeper level. Janie worked her magic and I left feeling lighter after unexpectedly releasing some emotions I hadn’t realised I was holding onto, and by the very next morning, my back already felt looser. But it wasn’t just the Reiki itself that made such a difference - it was everything else Janie brought to the session too and the way she held such a safe space for me, her warm and welcoming nature, and the wisdom she shares so effortlessly! I couldn’t recommend her more highly, thank you Janie 🙏❤️

My friend, who has completed all levels of training with Janie, recommended the Level 1 training to me and it certainly lived up to my friend's recommendation. It is a beautiful and life enriching training and I would certainly recommend it to others. I would also recommend Janie's individual reiki sessions with her kindness and warmth and incredible gift of reiki healing.

I have attended the Level 1 Reiki training course with Janie and I can't express how wonderful this was. Janie is so warm, welcoming and encouraging and made me feel supported and encouraged throughout.

I have now completed three reiki trainings with Janie and all of them have been amazing. Each time the experience deepens and the results have improved. The training courses up to and including Master Level have been interesting, very thorough and really enjoyable. The supporting documentation is always beautifully presented and easy to read and understand. I was a complete novice with no real understanding of Reiki when I met Janie and now two years on I feel really confident practising as a Reiki Master. Thank you - highly recommended.

The havening technique is very gentle and calming and Janie is very warm and welcoming. Self havening techniques taught in the session are really helpful to use when needed.

Thank you so much Janie for the wonderful Level 1 Reiki course which I attended last week. I loved the way you offered the course, it was delivered with kindness and care, all information was very clear and given in a way that made it feel easy to put into practice. I'll definitely be doing the Level 2 in the future.

what happens in a session?

A Holistic Approach


My treatments are holistic, meaning I work with every level of your being: emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual.

How We Start


Every session begins with a conversation. This allows us to see where you are and how I can best support your healing journey.

The Experience


You will rest on a soft mattress under a warm blanket in a space designed for total relaxation. I usually begin with a short breathing exercise or meditation tailored specifically to you. As you settle in, I intuitively sense where your body may be holding stress or emotional blockages, identifying exactly where you need the most support.

The Healing Process


Using Reiki energy—delivered through gentle touch or working just above the body—I may also incorporate crystals or sound healing. This process clears unwanted blockages, accelerates your natural healing, and restores a profound sense of well-being.

ancient wisdom for modern life

I believe spiritual healing should be as reliable as it is profound. Whether we are working with Reiki or Havening, the goal is the same: to move you out of stress and back into a state of clear, connected peace.

about me

At a glance: I began my healing journey in 1996. With over 25 years of practice and six years spent managing The Isbourne, I bridge the gap between ancient healing and modern wellbeing. My approach is intuitive and spiritual yet grounded, informed by my studies in Health Sciences and Psychology at Birkbeck.
