Christina McDonald:

I was born in Northern Ireland and completed my study at Queen's University Belfast training initially as a flautist. Having to deal with nerves and performance anxiety on stage encouraged me to become more interested in understanding the psychology of the mind and how we all respond to stressful situations. After a lot of planning and consideration, I eventually moved to London in 2004 with the goal of becoming a therapist. I was very interested in healing for a long time although I wasn't sure if I would ever find what I was looking for. Eventually, I found reiki and in all honesty, I haven't looked back.

I had been following a path of personal development for many years before deciding to become a therapist and with hindsight, much of my learning had already begun while I was studying for a performance degree in music which required me to develop regular introspection and a disciplined approach towards not only improving myself as a musical performer, but as a person too. As well as completing reiki mastership, I also hold qualifications in Hypnotherapy, Stress management, Counselling and Psychotherapy and Life Coaching.

It isn't always easy to escape stress but it is always possible to change how we react to stressful situations so we don't reach a stage where we feel overloaded and out of control due to the negative effects of stress. Reiki can really help you to find the balance you need and it can enable you to become calmer and more relaxed in your daily life.

    'When you were treating me, I felt a cool, tingling sensation all over my head and down the back of my neck which was amazing! Since having treatments with you, I feel so much more relaxed and I don't seem to react to the same stress I used to. I am a fan and I will definitely be exploring reiki further!'
