Reiki
Reiki is a healing technique that is used to enhance wellbeing and to reduce stress and tension. Reiki also relieves pain and discomfort in the body. The word Reiki is made up of two Japanese words "rei" meaning universal and "ki" meaning life force.
The aim of the Reiki practitioner is to draw on this source of energy and allow it to flow through their hands to the person who is in need of the healing. The client is fully clothed throughout the healing session.
Reiki is also a powerful tool for personal growth and for improving quality of life. The techniques for using Reiki are easily learned, but first Reiki must be passed on through an attunement , or initiation, by a Reiki Master. Once you have the attunement you have Reiki for life. At its initial stage Reiki is for self-healing and for helping friends and family.
Alison is also a practitioner in Karuna Reiki, which is the next level after Master level.
Learning Reiki can also be an opportunity to be able to treat your horse or pet, in order to bring balance and harmony and to relieve pain. Reiki is, however, not a replacement for conventional treatment from a vet.

Bowen Therapy
Bowen Bodytherapy is a gentle series of precise movements, using the thumbs and fingertips over specific points on the muscles and soft connective body tissue. It brings about deep relaxation and aids lymphatic drainage, helping toxins to leave the body.
Bowen can be used as a method of stress release and relaxation and is an excellent treatment for:
sports injuries;
frozen shoulder;
tennis elbow;
hayfever;
headaches;
digestive problems;
neck problems;
back pain;
knee problems;
sinusitis;
migraines;
asthma.
Intuitive Guidance
Intuitive guidance is a way of accessing spiritual knowledge, which can help one to gain insights into all areas of one’s life including issues that appear to be blocking one’s progress. This takes place with the assistance of oracle and angel cards.
This guidance may include dealing with past life issues, unlocking subconscious self-programming from previous lifetimes that are inappropriate in this life. These may take the form of irrational behaviours or phobias, unnecessary relationship attachments or other such trappings that hinder good health and ambitions.
Intuitive guidance is given as a means to aid the client in attaining clarity in their life, resolving problems and restoring balance. This should not be confused with fortune telling practices or a means of entertainment, as the sessions can be profound healing experiences with the normal associated cleansing period afterwards. Other techniques, such as tie cutting can also be used to release unnecessary relationship attachments. This technique, as well as releasing past life issues, can be incredibly liberating and can bring about profound changes in one’s life.

Hopi Ear Candling
Hopi Ear Candling is an ancient therapy, which has been used in many civilisations from the Ancient Greeks to the Native American people. It is also known as Thermal Auricular Therapy.
Hopi Ear Candling is beneficial for ENT and sinus problems, equalises ear pressure, helps to clear out excessive compacted wax and helps reduce headaches and migraines. It also reduces stress levels and relaxes the mind.
The process involves inserting a lit beeswax candle into the outer ear canal. The candle then burns down to a safe distance from the ear and a chimney effect is created, which massages the inner ear. The treatment promotes relaxation and releases stress.
EFT Emotional Freedom Technique
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) can be described as a meridian energy therapy, and was developed by Gary Craig.
It involves stimulating certain meridian points on the body by lightly tapping on them, at the same time concentrating on an issue or problem that you wish to let go of.
It is extremely helpful in treating phobias, allergies, and mental blocks and has been used successfully in treating depression and giving up smoking. It can also be used to increase confidence levels and is helpful in enhancing sports performance.
Psychological Kinesiology
Would you like to change your beliefs and create a more positive outlook on life? Psychological kinesiology is a technique, which is designed to create a balance between the two hemispheres of the brain.
By using muscle testing and a specific balancing method, it helps to remove outdated beliefs and self-defeating behaviours from the subconscious mind, changing them to positive beliefs. The “balance” or technique used, transforms any subconscious resistance you may have to achieving a goal.
It can be used for any kind of issue including health, relationships, prosperity, grief or loss. I also offer a technique within Psychological Kinesiology called “Mind-Body Technology Belief Creation Process”. This helps to achieve a set goal, by releasing any negative beliefs, which are hindering the achievement of that goal.
I am also available for spiritual counselling sessions, in order that you may be able to talk through any problems you are facing and find appropriate methods to deal with them. For more information, feel free to contact me.
For Animals
Alison has now paired her extensive experience in complementary therapies with her love of animals, bringing clarity to unresolved issues between the animal and its owner. This has been mainly while working with horses, but she is also able to work with other animals.
Using Reiki as a means of connecting to the animal’s energy field, Alison can then tune in and receive messages from the animal, overcoming ‘language’ barriers between them and the people who care for them, as well as giving the animal the benefits of a Reiki treatment.
Training in Reiki can be a way of helping your animal through difficult times, whether this is due to illness, injury or a behavioural problem. It is possible to treat the animal on a daily basis, which will prevent problems occurring and help to counteract behavioural problems. There is no limit to how often to treat with Reiki and the animal itself will soon let you know when it has had enough. As the animal’s carer you will also be able to use Reiki on yourself and to treat yourself daily in order to keep yourself healthy.
EFT can also be used with animals to help relieve emotional and physical problems. When working with an animal it is often beneficial to use EFT for both the animal and the person who cares for it, as issues can be intertwined. Subsequently both the animal and the person who cares for it can benefit and a mutually improved relationship can evolve.
“Alison has communicated with a number of horses on our yard over the years, transferring knowledge from horse to owner in a sensitive manner. At times, her insights have been funny, at times distressing and at times revelationary; in other words, they have reflected what the horse has experienced or is fixated on, and this can be incredibly useful in solving behavioural or training issues."
(Lorna Anderson, BHS Approved Livery Yard owner)
Testimonials
Alison's guidance over the years has alway been spot on in her accuracy and I am amazed at the ease with which she does it. Her intuitive work is second to none and I would highly recommend going to see her, whether for a card reading or receiving channeled guidance. Alison is really tuned into her guides and Angels so her information comes straight from the highest beings of love.

--------------------
After having met Alison, I can safely say that my life was guided and transformed in the most positive of ways with her help. As a trained scientist, it was instilled in me to question everything and never accept matters without proof. All the techniques that Alison and I worked with over many years and the ensuing results all gave me absolute certainty and faith in all of Alison’s fantastic gifts: intuition, healing, teaching and counselling skills, mediumship, nurturance, and Reiki Mastery. I was directed to Alison in a time of fear, uncertainty and loss in my life following the sudden death of my father. She ushered me through very difficult times with wise counsel and intuitive guidance and helped me discover how to best help myself along the way, perhaps the best gift that anyone could receive. With a further desire to self heal I requested if Alison would train me in the first Level of the Usui Reiki system. Alison is a fantastic Reiki Master teacher, who provided me with comprehensive information and background and who led me through the necessary steps with dignity, serenity, and grace. Reiki now forms a vital part of my daily rituals and to which I turn to when the daily grinds and stress of life affect the harmony in my life. Thank you once again Alison for all your help.

A fantastic woman, in every sense of the word. I met her three years ago in relation to an accident and she taught me about the power of energies in shaping our lives and the great positive effect they can have when channelled in the right way. I completed the Reiki 1 course
and can really feel changes in my life. Alison has also helped me develop my intuition and trust in the forces of the universe. She has a glowing presence and vast experience in the field of healing and alternative therapy.

--------------------
I thoroughly enjoyed my Reiki I & II training with Alison; she has a rare ability to empathise with a roomful of people on their own, very different, levels and ensure that each person receives what they’re looking for from the training.
(Lorna Anderson)
--------------------
I visited Alison to undergo an attunement and learning on Reiki 1. I consider Alison to be one of the most genuine, honest, compassionate and warm people I have ever met. I find the quality of teaching and support from Alison to be first class, and have always felt that she is very giving of her time, knowledge and wisdom to not only myself but to others that she takes under her wing. Alison balances the qualities of being enthusiastic and caring. It is so wonderful to find someone so nurturing and so supportive whilst you are being taught, undergoing a treatment or taking a workshop as Alison truly is. I recommend Alison wholeheartedly to anyone who is considering learning Reiki or considering visiting her for any holistic treatments and/or workshops.
(K. Murray)
--------------------
People come in and out of our lives all the time. I will be eternally grateful to Alison for flowing into my life with such gentleness and changing my life forever. Alison would answer all my questions and still continues to answer my endless supply of questions with such patience and understanding. She knew what I was going through without me saying a word, as I questioned my whole life. At my first Reiki session I was unsure of what to expect, however, Alison put me at ease, allowing me to relax and enjoy my first Reiki experience. This led me to wanting to know more about Reiki. I am so pleased Alison guided me through my journey of Reiki 1, as this has equipped me with the ability to cope more with my emotional rollercoaster, which is a much gentler ride these days rather than the terror ride of the black hole. I know I will continue on to Reiki 2, however there is no pressure to do so and gives me something else to look forward to. A wonderful warm welcome awaits everyone who meets Alison, I know my life is so much richer from sharing my journey with Alison. Thank you Alison.
