Stratford Upon Avon, Warwickshire
HELLO & WELCOME TO MY WEBSITE…
Reiki practitioner in Warwickshire
My name is Jan. As certified Reiki practitioner in Warwickshire I offer reiki training courses and reiki treatments which take place at the beautiful Old School Yoga Studio, just a short drive from the charming town of Stratford upon Avon in Warwickshire.
How my Reiki journey began…
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 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 the examinations I was 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 own reiki journey.
What is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese healing technique that promotes stress reduction, relaxation, and overall well-being. During a session the practitioner will use gentle touch to transfer positive energy to your body, helping to balance your energy flow and promote healing.
Where am I now?
During my years of reiki training I always maintained that I only wanted to learn reiki for my own self care but my own 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 techniques I had learnt along the way, in order to help others and I haven’t looked back since.
I am pleased to say I am now a reiki practitioner in Warwickshire and so fortunate to be able to offer treatments and training from the yoga studio where it all started for me. The Old School Yoga Studio is such a serene venue and the ideal place where you can unwind and restore your inner harmony.
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 but Reiki will always be my favourite practice. I 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. I hope to welcome you there soon!

Reiki Training Courses
I offer Reiki training courses in the traditional way over stages or levels: First Degree (Level 1) focusing on self treatment; Second Degree (Level 2) focusing on using the Reiki symbols and treatment of others (this allows you to gain insurance and work with clients if you wish); Second Degree Practitioner – a mini top-up for those who wish to become verified practitioners (if you wish to work in hospices or hospital settings); Third Degree (Level 3) is for those who wish to deepen their awareness of Reiki and…Master Teaching Degree is the final step – although you never stop learning with Reiki!
Nidra Meditation
A Nidra meditation is an amazing technique if you need to unwind and especially if you struggle to step away from your work at the end of the day (or week!) perhaps lying awake at night tossing and turning thinking about the things you need to do or replaying in your head ‘all that stuff’ from your day.
It’s usually practiced lying down and I will guide the session to draw your attention inwards and bring you into that half-conscious state between being asleep and awake. This allows your body to find its natural state of equilibrium (homeostasis) and from this place you can recharge and restore.
Sound Bath
All you need to do is turn up, lie down and get comfortable with blankets and pillows as you relax and “bathe” in the healing vibrations of sound. A number of different sounds and instruments will be played during this sound/gong bath, so you will experience many different vibrational frequencies washing over you.
Touch for Health Kinesiology
Touch for Health (TFH) is the most widely used system of kinesiology in the world – systems of healing that use manual muscle testing to determine which stimuli stress the body and how that stress can be decreased.
One to One Sessions
I offer one-to-one sessions for individuals or couples all designed for slowing down and chilling out….whether that’s a sound bath, guided nidra meditation (using sound and voice) or resting your mind with the sound of the frequency tubes.
Please do get in touch to find out more
BRIEF INSIGHTS
Group and One- to-One Sessions
I hold regular group evening sessions locally in Stratford Upon Avon, as well as one-to-one sessions for individuals or couples all designed for slowing down and chilling out….whether that’s a sound bath, guided nidra meditation (using sound and voice) or resting your mind with the sound of the frequency tubes.
If you’re not sure what to expect with a guided nidra meditation then find yourself a quiet spot where you won’t be disturbed, lie yourself down, make yourself comfortable and take a listen to my short recording.
Training Courses and Workshops
REIKI RAINING COURSES : Some feedback from my previous Reiki I training course….
“Fantastic course I can highly recommend. Jan is such an intuitive teacher. Can’t wait for level 2!”
[RW Stratford Upon Avon]
“Taking the Reiki Level 1 with Jan was transformative. The whole weekend was engaging, but it was the attunements that I found especially powerful. I’ve since integrated Reiki into my daily spiritual practice and really feel it has elevated my connection.”
[SD Alcester]
KINESIOLOGY TRAINING COURSES AND WORKSHOPS : Some feedback from one of my short workshops….
Dear Jan,
I wanted to thank you for such a wonderful kinesiology course. You created such a warm and inviting atmosphere that made us all feel really comfortable.
I really enjoyed learning about all the processes and it was great for us to be able to discuss our different ideas and expectations.
Your teaching was really clear and easy to absorb. Being able to practise on each other what we had learned was invaluable.
I feel really confident that I will be able to use my new skills competently and effectively. I really appreciate you making the class so comprehensive and enjoyable.
Many thanks,
Jo C.
Testimonials
My reiki sessions with Jan are the highlight of my week. After being diagnosed with fibromyalgia I have been in physical pain and feeling very low. My sessions with Jan made me feel lighter and calmer.
Jan has a lovely personality and instantly made me feel comfortable. Thank you Jan!
EK Stratford Upon Avon
Jan is amazing. I am an event manager and working on a huge conference at the moment so I usually go to Jan frazzled. I can honestly say the sessions I have had have left me a lot calmer, I have slept so much better and my stress from the day melts. Thank you so much Jan and keep up your healing ways. You are a beautiful gentle soul.
