My name is Jan and this page will give you a brief insight into some of the things that I do and what you might expect. All these things based around creating inner peace and calm. I am a reiki practitioner and I also offer evenings of meditation style sessions and sound baths as well as one-to-one sessions, workshops and training courses from my base at the Old School Yoga Studio near Stratford upon Avon town centre.




My interest in the mind body connection has been there for more years than I can remember now! When I was thirty something I started teaching accountancy and I was completely fascinated by techniques, such as Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), that offer insight and understanding into how people organise their thinking, feeling, language and behaviour to produce the results they do. This was so relevant to my teaching but also motivated me to start working on myself.
I started to practice Ashtanga Yoga, which combines the benefits of breathing, meditation and movement, but my muscles were so stiff. During those early days of learning this practice my own yoga teacher, Ben Beswick, used reiki on me as he was convinced that the stiffness in my muscles was caused by emotions held in my body and this set me off on my personal reiki journey.




During my years of reiki training I always maintained that I only wanted to learn reiki for my own self care but my reiki master would always just smile at me whenever I said this. She clearly knew something I didn’t and just after Covid I had the opportunity to start offering and teaching reiki, along with other energy healing techniques I have learnt along the way, and I haven’t looked back since!
I feel so fortunate to be able to offer sound and energy healing sessions, treatments and trainings from the yoga studio where it all started for me. The Old School Yoga Studio is such a serene venue and the ideal place to relax, unwind and restore your inner harmony.
