Reiki
Something I live and breathe
The quiet, intelligent energy infusing every Altha Alchemy experience
Reiki healing
in Leeds and online
Reiki is the foundation beneath every Altha Alchemy treatment, every group session, every guided meditation, every breath I guide you through. It is the quiet, intelligent energy that moves through me, around me, and into the space I hold for you. I feel it constantly, and when I place my hands on or above your body, when I send Reiki across distance during an online journey, or when I move through a room of people breathing together, I step out of the way and let that energy flow.
Afterwards, people often sit in quiet wonder. Some feel lighter, held, finally still. Some sleep deeply for the first time in years. I can’t take credit for that. The energy flows through me, not from me. I’m the channel, not the source.
Testimonial from Ally, Leeds
“It’s like she plugs me into the mains so I can go to that blank space and start healing in the parts of my mind and body that need it.”
How I came to Reiki
My first Reiki treatment was over twenty five years ago, after I was diagnosed with M.E. I was in constant pain, overwhelmed by sensory sensitivities, struggling with constant low-grade fever, and exhausted in a way sleep couldn’t fix. A free taster session gave me relief so intense, so immediate, that I knew I had to understand what had happened. Since then, Reiki has given me a comfort and peace I have not found anywhere else.
That love led me to train. First Level 1, so I could treat myself. Then Level 2, after family and friends kept telling me something wonderfully beautiful was moving through my hands. I trained in the Usui Shiki Ryoho tradition with a Reiki Master whose lineage traces directly back just 11 generations to Dr Mikao Usui! This lineage matters to me. I honour it by practising with devotion, humility, and love.

What Reiki is
Reiki is universal life force energy. It is intelligent, flowing where it is needed. When our energy is blocked or depleted, we may feel pain, anxiety, disconnection, or exhaustion. Reiki helps restore flow, bringing the body, mind, emotions and spirit back toward balance.
It’s not tied to any religion or belief system. It is not something you need to understand intellectually. You simply receive it.
During a treatment, energy flows through a channel opened in the practitioner through attunement. Research has recorded the energy from a practitioner’s hands producing a bio-magnetic reading in the theta and alpha range, the same frequencies associated with healing and deep relaxation.
What happens during a treatment
You lie fully clothed on a therapy bed, keeping your socks on and your shoes off. A pillow and blanket are provided. Whether I place my hands on or just above your body is totally up to you and agreed beforehand. I work with your seven main chakras, also using intuitive hand placements and sacred Reiki symbols to encourage alignment and flow.
You may feel warmth, tingling, coolness, movement, or a sense of energy shifting. You might see colours or images behind closed eyes. You may drift into a deep, dreamlike state or fall asleep. Some people laugh or cry as something releases. Others feel very little in the moment, then notice subtle shifts over the following days.
The energy is intuitive. It goes where it is needed most for your highest good. You draw in exactly what you are ready to receive.
One-to-one Reiki treatments for women
What I offer
A private, welcoming, tranquil space where you can simply be. I’ll ask about your preferences for music, scent and lighting, and whether you would like hands-on or hands-off healing. Your comfort is essential. We agree everything together.
Reiki in Altha Alchemy sessions
Reiki is woven into every journey I offer, whether online or in person. The breath opens you. The music carries you. The Reiki lifts you higher, draws you deeper, softens you, charges you, clears you, and beautifies the whole experience. It is the invisible current that turns breath, sound and intention into alchemy.
In online sessions, I send distance Reiki throughout the SOMA® Breath and guided meditation fusion. In person, I move through the room, infusing Reiki throughout the space and giving each participant a minute or two of focused attention, so everyone feels held within the collective.
Reiki, chakras and tandens
Reiki channels Ki, universal life force energy, to promote relaxation, release tension and restore balance.
Energy Centres
Recognised across cultures and time. In yoga they are chakras; in Chinese medicine, meridians; in Japanese Reiki, tandens. The principle is the same, and Reiki works with that flow.
Hara
In Japanese tradition the centre of Ki is the Hara, below the navel. Reiki naturally guides energy here, supporting grounding and calm.
Both systems describe how energy moves through the body. When these centres are blocked or out of balance, we may feel unwell, anxious or disconnected. Reiki helps restore that flow.
In their words
“That was incredibly powerful. All that anxiety is gone.”
“That was incredible. I'm speechless.”
“I feel calmer and lighter.”
“Amazing. I felt so light and weightless.”
“That was really lovely. I didn't want it to end. I feel at peace with the world.”
“The best reiki I've ever had.”

The channel, not the source
The energy flows through me, not from me.
Come as you are
You don’t need to believe anything or know what you are supposed to feel. You only need to be willing to lie down, breathe, and receive.
Whether you are seeking emotional release, spiritual growth or simply a moment of deep relaxation, Reiki offers a nurturing space for healing. My approach is intuitive, compassionate and grounded in both traditional wisdom and modern understanding. Together, we can restore your energy, awaken your inner light and support your journey to well-being.
