For over 25 years I have worked full-time in stressful jobs, always conscientious, going the extra mile, working long hours and weekends too. I used to think that taking time out for myself was lazy and a complete waste of the precious little spare time I had. How wrong I was! Eventually my body protested and made me evaluate the way I viewed life and my health. When I found out that I had Fibromyalgia (M.E.) I was devastated and my whole world turned upside down. Initially through Tai Chi and Reiki I came to accept what had happened to me. I realised that I was responsible for my own health and well-being and that we do actually create our own reality. This insight led me to take a course in Usui Reiki Healing Level 1 and 2 so that I could help to heal myself. Through Reiki and a technique called 'Reverse Therapy' and Crystal Light Therapy I overcame the symptoms of Fibromyalgia and realised that there was something more I wanted to do with my life. I then went on to do my Usui Reiki Master qualification and was using this wonderful healing energy to help my family and friends, whilst asking the Universe how I could do this as a living.
