Film about Reiki and Interview with Martyn Lewis
Here is the film about Reiki I helped to make last summer which received its first screening at the CAM Expo on 23 October and was shown at the NHS Alliance conference on 18 - 19 November. A small extract of the film was also shown at a dinner at Clarence House, hosted by Prince Charles on 8th July as part of a 5 minute feature on integrated health. You will see me towards the end of the film talking about the Reiki Council. Also in the film is Dr Rosy Daniel, former director of the Bristol Cancer Centre, talking about how beneficial Reiki can be for cancer patients.The Reiki Council was also given the opportunity to have an interview filmed with Martyn Lewis at ITN studios in London and I was nominated to do the talking! So here it is:

Hear me in conversation with Phyllis Furumoto
Phyllis Furumoto interviewed me last summer for her internet radio show "Reiki: Balancing Form and Essence" which is broadcast on www.7th Wave Network. We talked specifically about Reiki community and Reiki as a public practice - including current developments in the UK with regard to Reiki practitioners working publicly. If you would like to hear it please CLICK HERE.
I was honoured to be invited to talk with her again recently about my own healing journey with Reiki. It was broadcast live on 20th August and you can find it on the 7th Wave Network website.
Phyllis has dome many very interesting interviews for her programme, so I encourage you to find her programme on the 7th Wave Network website: look for the Phyllis Lei Furumoto programme 'Reiki: Balancing Form and Essence'
The programme has now moved to a new website: http://www.reikitalkshow.com/
Video about Reiki in a Hospital
Here is a video about the use of Reiki at University College Hospital, London (UK) for patients with cancer. Click Here to watch. It includes interviews with staff and patients and shows how Reiki helps people emotionally as well as physically.Help for your Animal
In addition to offering Reiki to people, I also treat animals. I am also trained as an Animal Communicator, which can be very helpful when there is a problem. If you would like to know how I could help you with your animal please click here.
Shopping!

Treatment Couches
I am often asked about how to choose a treatment couch. My own couch is a Starlight, which is very light and portable. It was a big investment, but I have found it well worth the money. There is a useful article about choosing a couch on their website: http://mirrormill.com/cgi-bin/clientdev/starlight/choosing.htmlOne thing to bear in mind when choosing a couch for giving Reiki is that you need to be able to sit comfortably at the end: many massage couches have some kind of blockage at the end, usually a support strut, making it impossible to get your knees under the couch. This can be very uncomfortable and you need to think about taking care of your back by having the best posture, not twisting or leaning too much.
