About Me

Hi I am a reiki and massage therapist working in the west of Edinburgh. I also teach and play the guitar. I'm interested in any thing new age/ spiritual/ pagan etc.You can find out more at www.SmithReiki.co.uk Please check out the link to Brans Cauldron's myspace. My reiki teacher David Tyrell has just released a cd of guided meditations which is availble from this site or from cd baby, www.cdbaby.com/cd/davidtyrell.Reiki opened my eyes to things that I had kind of suspected were 'out there' but had no confirmation of. I have just completed my advanced practitioner level in energy system which we used to call sekhem or Helen Belot Sekhem, short description is that it is a bit like reiki. However there is some sort of legal situaion which means that I cant describe my self as a sekhem therapist at the moment. However I am still availbale for treatments. :)My son is 21 (aahhhh) and more or less doing his own thing which gives me time to explore all the things haven't had time for over the last few (21 aaaaaaahhh)years.The song on here used to be The Daffodil Song, a single I was in involved in for the Marie Curie Cancer Care. Its my little brother Gary singing and I'm playing guitar. Please buy it!! All profits to Marie Curie. You can find it at myspace.com/thedaffodilsong or just click the link below. The piece you are listening to now is Supporting the Sky. Its on a forthcoming album, the 8 Strands of Silk Broccade by Brans Cauldron. You can find out more at www.ujazz-records.com Anyone interested in having a treatment or learning reiki can contact me on [email protected] or phone 07899 775499

Complimentary Therapies

It still surprises me that people refer to reiki, sekhem etc as "alternative" therapies. If you come to me then dont stop taking the pills, I can only "compliment" your conventional treatments.
