About Alexis

 

I became interested in spirituality and healing in my teens. Comments from people that I came into contact with made me aware that they were experiencing a spiritual energy in my presence. At first I was confused with these comments and dismissed them.

Animals have always been a vital part of my life. Working with dogs in my teens I sensed their calmness and absolute trust in my presence. I studied Canine Behaviourism and opened a weekend training club at the school where I worked as a teacher. I believe that my knowledge of canine and feline behaviour has proved to be invaluable when giving Reiki to animals.

My background was such that I have always tried to help people improve their lives, whenever possible. With this intention in mind, I tried several avenues i.e. social work, teaching and finally counselling. I was interested in religion, researching several and finally being drawn to Buddhism.

I began my counselling practice in 1999 specialising in bereavement, divorce, separation, and relationship problems.

 

A friend introduced me to complementary therapies, while I helped out at her Homeopathic Clinic for animals and humans. This experience gave me a taste for complementary therapy and I went on to study aromatherapy, reflexology, and massage techniques. In more recent years I have been drawn to angel therapy, crystals and tarot. All of these therapies can have their place in healing. Depending on the needs of the individual and they are available, on request, at my treatment practice ‘Ambience Therapies’.

 

There have been many spiritual experiences in my life that I dismissed as coincidence.I now believe that ‘my natural spirituality’ was always trying to guide me but I turned away, until I was drawn to Reiki. It is sometimes said that Reiki finds you and in my case I believe it to be true.

I am not a sceptic but prefer to think of myself as an “intelligent thinking person” who does not accept what I read or hear, without thoughtful research and experience.

 

"Well, my first Reiki experience ‘blew my mind’ and there was no way that I could dismiss

it or believe that it was coincidence.Reiki has definitely changed my life, so much so that

I want to share the ‘Joy of Reiki’ with you."
