About Melanie
I had my first experience of Reiki back in 2000, when I had a taster treatment after a tarot reading. It proved to be a pivotal moment in my personal and spiritual development, and I started to find out more about this simple but powerful healing energy.
Not long after this, I completed my Reiki level 1. The healing energy affects people in different ways, but I remember that night I slept deeper than I ever had before. After completing my Reiki level 2 a few months later, my self-healing journey really began. There were lots of life-lessons to learn and obstacles to overcome over the next few years, but it was all part of my self-healing process and taught me a lot about myself.
In 2007 my healing journey led me to discover Shamanic Healing techniques and sound healing, and I have begun learning both to incoporate them into my healing practice. I am also a singer so working with my voice and other forms of sound for healing is a natural and obvious progression. I hope to be a qualified Sound Healer by 2011!
Also in 2007, I became interested in Life Coaching and took a course with the UK Coaching Partnership. What I love about Life Coaching is that it ‘draws out’ of the client the answers that already lie within, and provides a way of talking through an issue without anyone else’s agenda but the clients – with no unwanted advice or instruction from the Coach.
In July 2008 I completed my Reiki Master/Teacher course with Reiki Evolution. Their way of teaching is closer to the original Japanese methods used in the 1920s and is ‘simple, uncluttered, intuitive, focused on self-development, and free from dogma and silly rules’, an ethic that suits me down to the ground!
I am an Indigo Adult, the awakening to this has been proably the most significant step in my spiritual journey so far. It explains who I am entirely. Please follow the link here to read more about what an Indigo Adult is - you might be one too!
Most of all I am interested in helping and supporting people on their own journeys of self-discovery and healing. My strengths lie in offering a non-judgmental space for healing and guidance, and realising that we are each the master of our own journey.
