About Jiva

I have been practising Traditional Reiki for seven years now, and it has formed an integral part of my spiritual practice, in healing and developing compassion both for myself and others. I incorporate loving kindness meditation into my Reiki workshops, as I feel the attitude of compassion for all beings is essential for any healer to develop.

Reiki feels like a form of magic to me, and many times I have been overwhelmed by how effective it is, both in physical and emotional healing, despite its subtlety and gentleness. I feel truly blessed to have this power, and I deeply love being the vehicle to enable others to experience it, benefit from it themselves and pass it on.

I am also professionally trained in Ancient Thai Massage and have some training in Zen Shiatsu which I hope to take further. I also hope to study Shamanic healing in the near future.

I have been travelling, studying and practising in Asia, mainly India, Nepal and Thailand, for most of the last seven years. It has been a time of profound change and realisation for me, in which I have deepened my interest in and commitment to developing my mainly Buddhist spiritual practice, although I also practice Hatha Yoga. I consider my healing work an integral part of my spiritual path.

I am now living in Brighton. You can contact me by email at
jiva@reikijiva.com and I look forward to hearing from you.
