lineage

Reiki is transmitted from teacher to student through attunements. You can call it an energy transfer that includes symbols and mantras. Every Reiki practitioner should be able to track their lineage back to Dr Usui. The lineage of your Reiki practitioner is an important factor, especially when you want to learn how to give Reiki.

Class Structure

Usui Reiki first degree class and attunement

Reiki is a Japanese technique that reduces stress, helps the body to relax and promotes healing. It is works through the palms of the therapist’s hands and is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy flows through us and it is this energy that keeps us alive. If our life force energy is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more able to be happy and healthy. Reiki works on the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing.

i was also invited to presented a mindfulness living talk to the union of jewish women in port elizabeth. they gave me this amazing out of print book as a thank you. i am so grateful for my life!

i also hosted two meditation classes in south africa at the yoga studio in port elizabeth. my view was that of cows grazing across the road.  what a magical experience. the energy in the room was so beautiful and filled with light.

while i was visiting africa i rented a space at the quarterly windsong bohemian market in port elizabeth and did some tarot readings. the experience was amazing. and as a bonus a beautiful cat came and join me on the table for a while. i did ten human readings and every person was open to what the cards shared with them. to me a tarot card reading is a therapy session. i also believe that the cards show us possibilities. what we do with those possibilities are up to us.

about a dreamer’s life

Do you dream of freedom? Do you wonder what it would feel like to be completely free? To step into the world with only a suitcase and a passport? To quit your life? All of your life? Your marriage, your job, your home, your stuff? 

This book gives you a glimpse inside the mind of a woman on such a journey. She shares her most intimate moments of despair, but also shows us the mysterious joy that empowers you when you accept yourself exactly as you are. 

Take a journey of self-discovery, one that weaves between dreams and reality. From meerkat encounters in Namibia to the streets of London, from small towns in South Africa to snowy Chicago Winters. Between these pages you’ll find stories and people, both real and imagined. 

A Dreamer’s Life is a disarmingly honest and ripples with passion, melancholy, humility and gratitude.

what they are saying about a dreamer’s life

“A really enjoyable and interesting read of a journey of self discovery and understanding. I felt like I was right there, travelling around South Africa with the author and sharing the experiences.”
