Hi I'm Steph, and I'm passionate about helping others, and sharing the gift of Reiki with the world.

I am a fully insured, and Reiki Federation accredited Reiki Master, who has been practicing Reiki for over 10 years. I have a thriving Reiki practice The Little Reiki Shed in Southborough, Tunbridge Wells | Online Distance Healing in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, and am now expanding my practice to London.

What is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced ray-key) comes from the Japanese words “rei,” meaning universal, and “ki,” meaning life energy. It is a Japanese form of alternative medicine related to energy healing that originated in Japan around 1920.

Reiki practitioners use a technique of hands-on healing on the body, along the chakra energy points through which the "universal energy" that is transferred from the palms of practitioner’s hands to the patient, to encourage emotional and physical healing. Reiki is chanelled through the practitioner as the recipient’s body draws the energy to the parts of their body that require it. Reiki is an intelligent energy. It goes where it is needed to do the greatest good.

My Story

I first discovered reiki in 2015. I had recently moved to Tunbridge Wells, with a young daughter, and a demanding full-time job, working long hours and commuting to London. One day I woke up feeling totally exhausted with a numbness in my leg. I took myself off the local homeopathic centre to see if they could help, and they suggested I try a reiki treatment. I had never heard about Reiki but was intrigued.

During my first treatment I felt so relaxed and saw a bright white light in front of my eyes, and heat around my body. It was a beautiful experience, and I felt so relaxed.

It reminded me that when I was little, when I felt unwell my mum and grandmother used to put their hands over my knees and ear, which used to provide a wonderful heat. They always used to say they were healing hands, which reminds me so much of reiki!

After regular treatments my overall health improved significantly, and I then trained in Level 1&2 in Holy Fire Reiki later that year, and in 2022 completed my Reiki Master training. In 2023, my business The Little Reiki Shed in Southborough, Tunbridge Wells | Online Distance Healing was born.

What happens during a treatment?

When you arrive, for your session we will go through a brief questionnaire, just check a few medical questions and what is currently going on for you, and any intentions you may have for your treatment.

The reiki session will last approx. 50 mins. A treatment involves you lying down fully clothed on the treatment couch, or sitting upright in a chair whilst the reiki practitioner moves their hands around your body, at different energy points or chakra's. The Reiki practitioner may touch you lightly or have their hands just above your body (we can discuss your preference before we start the treatment). 

A reiki treatment is gentle and non-intrusive and is very relaxing. There is no manipulation or pressure applied. 

There are blankets and cushions to ensure you are comfortable. Relaxing music can also be played during the treatment.

You may experience sensations in the body such as heat or tingling. Some people report seeing visualizations such as colours or pictures, or having memories appear. For others it can just be a very relaxing treatment.

There are occasions when people experience a slightly stronger reaction which we call a healing response to a treatment. This is absolutely nothing to worry about but just the energy going where it needs to go.
