Reiki, pronounced ray key, means life energy and was developed in the early 1900's by a man called Mikao Usui in Japan and brought over to this country and taught to a group of people where it is widely used today. Reiki is a system of enlightenment and uses both hands on and distant healing. Like Crystal Therapy, it promotes deep relaxation, increases energy, removes energy blocks, reduces stress, enhances health & well being, removes aches and pains and can build confidence and self belief. I like to use a combination of both the reiki and the crystal therapy to achieve a total therapy and one of which has effects long after the session has finished. With any healing, the process is a constant action that works on every individual in different ways and no two sessions will ever be the same. Reiki as with Crystals, enhance your life.

Crystals are a love of mine and always will be. They come from deep within the earth and each crystal has its own property which can be used in a variety of ways, either on the body, around the body, under your pillow and in gem essences/elixirs to promote deep relaxation and enhance health & well being. Many therapists use dowsing with crystals to determine the answer to various questions that we ask. In fact crystals have been used way back in time by all of our generations in history. Used in our modern watches and clocks, Quartz is an essential part of our modern living. Our makeup that women wear has been adapted from as early as the egyptians and history shows that as with our plants & trees, crystals have a major role in life as we know it. Crystal Therapy is now as well known as Reiki and Acupuncture.

I have been trained by Safe Salons Ltd, the first independent assessment scheme for nail salons and technicians in the uk. I understand the importance of using safe and tested products and no salon or technician can subscribe to Safe Salons if they are using MMA in their Acrylic Nail Enhancement System. MMA (methyl methacrylate) is potentially harmful to the natural nail and has been linked to respiratory problems and allergic skin reactions. It is banned in some other countries but not yet in the uk. EMA (ethyl methacrylate) is a far safer chemical and one that is endorsed and used by Safe Salons. As a therapist and professional nail technician, I do not use MMA in my acrylic system and only use EMA. It is essential when choosing a salon or nail technician you look for the no MMA sign as a reasurance that you are being looked after properly.
