About the UK Reiki Federation

Our Organisation

The UK Reiki Federation (UKRF) is an independent, not-for-profit, professional organisation run by members for members.

Reiki is our passion. We are fully committed to sharing our expertise and knowledge with our members and the general public to increase awareness of Reiki through education & information.

Since 1999, we have been at the forefront for developing the highest standards for Reiki education, training, research, and practice. We continue to be actively involved in high-level representative groups working on revised standards for training of professional practitioners in the United Kingdom.

Now the largest Reiki-only professional organisation in the UK and Europe, we are here for every step of your Reiki journey – from finding a certified Reiki practitioner for a Reiki session, sourcing an accredited Reiki course, or practicing and teaching Reiki professionally.

I joined the UK Reiki Federation in 2021. I am an Essex based Reiki Master Teacher. Before developing in Reiki,  I trained as a Clairvoyant. I learnt Reiki to support my working life balance and whether I am receiving, giving or teaching, I am always blown away by Reiki and the results Reiki provides.  Away from my Spiritual and Healing I have worked since 1994 as a Civil Servant dealing with Legality, Courts, Human Rights, Complainants and more  within Civil and Criminal Matters.   Every day working in partnership with Mayor of London’s Office, Police Constabularies, London Court Systems,  Complaints Departments.   My experience has been with  matters within The Supreme Court down to Magistrates Courts and Tribunals.  I have also completed Teacher Training and since 2002 have taught inside and outside of Spiritualism.    I am very privileged to be supporting the UKRF and all of its members within my role.

I began my Reiki journey in 2020. I have worked as a creative since graduating from university with a Master’s in Design. My skillset is varied and creatively I work from concept, through to campaign across an array of media channels including print, display and digital. I have experience in building and working with strong brand identities.

I love a challenge, and during lockdown I build my own campervan, touring northern Spain and Portugal for a month. I like to spend my weekends covered in saw dust, grease or paint, and when not building, chopping or fixing things, I can be found riding my motorcycle or planning my next big adventure.

Reiki has always been a part of my life however, my personal Reiki learning journey started during lock-down with online courses. However none of these were accredited, so my search for approved course providers brought me to the UKRF. I have always been fully aware and immersed in the power of energy healing, human connectedness and self healing which is the essence of Reiki.

I am passionate about bringing science and spirituality to the forefront and in favour of increasing the credibility of Reiki within the medical community. I support equality, diversity and inclusion within the UKRF and amongst its members. The skills I bring to the UKRF include marketing, communications, training, facilitating and coaching.

After years of receiving Reiki, I decided to start my own training. It has helped me manage personal loss, fibromyalgia, endometriosis, and other health issues, transforming my life in so many positive ways.

I’m passionate about animals and live with four cats, two therapy dogs, and work with a herd of amazing horses. Helping both animals and people is truly fulfilling. Joining the Reiki Federation is an exciting step, and I can’t wait to continue sharing the benefits of Reiki!
