Reiki
In early 2014, Chloe was trained by a Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki Master in London to Practitioner Level (II). A technique to activate natural healing processes to restore physical and emotional wellbeing. It relaxes and calms the mind and brings a deep sense of peace, clarity and balance. Reiki is a fully clothed practice using gentle touch, which can be given sitting up or lying down.

Reiki Drum
Combining reiki and drumming brings healing to your whole being. This therapy can help people express and address emotional issues as the sound vibrations travel through the body releasing negative memories within the cells. After drumming over your body, a reiki treatment is given to integrate the healing and bring balance. You are fully clothed throughout, and Chloe will also work with intentions to help bring into your life what you need at that time.

Chloe has public liability and professional indemnity insurance and a current enhanced DBS check.

Fees
Counselling: 50 minute session by telephone, Skype or face-to face is £50

Reiki or Reiki Drum: 1 hour session is £35
