Usui Reiki Master Teacher
Hello, I thought I’d tell you a little about myself and how I first discovered Reiki.
I’m Jillian, a qualified Usui Reiki Master Teacher based in Sunderland, in the North East of England.
My Reiki lineage traces back to Mikao Usui, the founder of the Usui Reiki system.
I’m also a member of the UK Reiki Federation and fully insured with Balens.
But qualifications aside, I thought you might like to know how I ended up doing something I love so much!
How Reiki found me
It wasn’t something I’d planned. In fact, until one particular night, I knew very little about it.
I was at a get-together with friends when I suddenly developed a terrible headache. It was so painful that I was ready to go home.
One of my friends asked if she could place her hands on my head and try something that might help.
Well, at that point, I was willing to try anything!
Within a few minutes, the pain began to ease, and before long, it had completely disappeared.
I couldn’t quite believe it.
“How on earth did you do that?” I asked.
She simply replied, “Reiki.”
I’d never experienced anything like it before, and I was fascinated.
I started reading about Reiki and energy healing, wanting to understand more about what had happened.
And that was the beginning of my Reiki journey.
What started as curiosity gradually became something that would play a very important part in my life.
🌿 Reiki Has Become Part of My Everyday Life
These days, I practise self-Reiki and meditation every day.
It’s a little time I set aside for myself, and I find it helps me feel calmer, more balanced and better able to deal with whatever life throws my way.
And like everyone else, I have those days when life gets a bit hectic!
What I love most about offering Reiki is being able to give someone that opportunity to stop for a while.
To lie down, get comfortable and have a little time when they don’t need to worry about anything else.
There’s something so satisfying about seeing someone arrive looking tired or stressed and leave feeling more relaxed.
🌼 Why People Come for Reiki
People come for all sorts of reasons.
Some are already familiar with Reiki, while others are simply curious and fancy trying something different.
People often tell me they’re looking for a little support with:
✨ Stress and everyday worries
✨ Feeling overwhelmed or emotionally drained
✨ Difficulty switching off and relaxing
✨ Sleep and rest
✨ Living with ongoing health challenges
✨ Taking some much-needed time for themselves
Reiki is a complementary wellbeing practice rather than a medical treatment, but many people enjoy it as a way to relax and feel supported alongside any healthcare they may be receiving.
And sometimes, people come simply because they enjoy it!
You don’t need a particular reason.
🕊️ Reiki, Without the Fuss
I know Reiki can sometimes sound a little mysterious, especially if you’ve never experienced it before.
But I don’t believe it needs to be complicated.
You don’t have to be spiritual, believe in anything in particular or understand how Reiki is traditionally explained.
You’re welcome just as you are.
My approach is simple. I want you to feel comfortable, listened to and completely at ease.
Whether you come for an in-person session or choose Distance Reiki, I’ll always do my best to make the experience a peaceful and positive one.
💗 A Little About My Distance Reiki
I also offer contribution-based Distance Reiki, because I appreciate that everyone’s circumstances are different.
Rather than setting a fixed price, you’re welcome to make a contribution that feels comfortable for you.
I believe kindness and consideration should always be part of the way we treat one another.
And if offering Reiki can bring someone a little comfort or a peaceful moment in their day, that’s something I’m always happy to do.
🌷 A Final Little Thought
Looking back, I still smile when I remember that evening when my friend first introduced me to Reiki.
Who would have thought that one terrible headache would lead me down a completely different path?
Certainly not me!
But I’m very glad it did.
If you’re curious about Reiki, please feel free to get in touch. I’m always happy to answer questions or have a little chat.
So, even if you feel like you just need to relax, please get in touch. Reiki can help you.
Go on give Reiki a try. You won’t regret it.
