Just a few days ago we were visited by a friend who had fallen from her bicycle several days earlier, injuring and badly bruising her hip and elbow.

Now this friend is probably in the universe’s top 100 skeptics as far as a belief in alternative or complementary therapies is concerned. Unless you can produce undisputed scientific evidence then it’s does not figure in her belief system.

I immediately seized the opportunity to persuade her to have some Reiki while she spoke with my wife. Amazingly she agreed and I told her to just carry on and ignore my treatment of her leg and arm. A few minutes later she gave me a quizzical look and reported feeling heat on her leg and coolness in the elbow, and after a few more minutes I stopped.

Several days later she rang to speak about something unrelated and during the conversation I asked about her pain from the injuries. “Ah well maybe it’s a co-incidence but I slept OK that night with no pain and every night since, and strangely the bruising had changed colour next day which was quite odd”

I inwardly laughed and told her sometimes we heal up quicker than expected!

Reiki – it just works! (No belief required)

I just returned from a wonderful weekend visiting a good friend and fellow APHP hypnotherapist Dr Alberto Torelli at his practice and school in Cairo Montenotte, Italy.

Alberto had kindly extended an invitation to his seminar on treatment of IBS by hypnotherapy. For me it was a unique opportunity to discover the protocol he teaches for IBS treatment, and also to meet new friends and fellow therapists in a warm ( 38 degrees – pun intended) and friendly atmosphere.

Alberto’s enthusiasm for his work and his approach to IBS further re-inforced my belief and understanding of just how hypnosis can tap into the Sub-conscious and achieve success where other conventional methods of treating IBS usually fail.

I have been developing a complementary treatment treatment protocol for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). The results so far have been very encouraging, so much so that I intend to offer it as a programme of treatment to future clients.

I studied the many different therapies available that make use of the natural universal healing energy in all of us, and found Reiki best suited my style of therapy.”

“It is my firm belief that Reiki and Hynotherapy will allow me to provide the best possible complementary treatment for my clients, and that for certain conditions and ailments both therapies combined will create a powerful healing modality”
