Welcome. Breathe.
Let the gentle practice of Reiki hold space for you to just be.
Rest your body deeply, quieten the noise, and return to yourself.I'm Emma, a veterinary nurse of 10 years who took a step back to start a family. This chapter let me reconnect with the parts of myself I'd lost touch with, while making sense of who I had become as a mother.
It deepened my understanding of our connection with each other, with ourselves, and with the world around us.
So after a lifetime of fascination with the spiritual world I finally trained as a Reiki practitioner in 2026 after experiencing its profound effects on multiple occasions throughtout my life.From here I created Heartwood Vale, a destination for those who:
💫Know they must care for themselves before they can care for others
💫Are feeling stuck, overwhelmed or burnt out and long for a return to peace
💫Crave that feeling of deep relaxation they haven't had in far too long
💫Want a quiet space where they can tune into their body, their intuition and their own inner needs
💫Appreciate loving kindness and a judgement-free zone where they can put down their worries for an hour
💫Share their life with an animal companion and would like to explore Reiki as a complementary wellbeing practice for them too.So, what is Reiki?
Reiki is a Japanese energy practice that uses ki (the life force or energy that flows through all living things) which is traditionally channeled through the practitioners hands and simply allowed to flow to wherever it's needed.
Think of me as a watering can, offering the energy and letting your body receive it in whatever way feels right for you.You don't need to force anything or try to get anything right. Just settle in and allow yourself a little rest.
Contact me
Are you ready to feel held?
When you're ready to book in, just fill out the contact form on this page and we will arrange a time that suits you.
Sessions are held in your own home, I will bring everything I need. All you need to do is pick a quiet room in which you will be able to fully relax.If booking for a companion animal, please fill out the appropriate form. These sessions are led by the animal, we go at their pace and their comfort is the top priority always. They are generally shorter than human sessions as animals are extremely receptive to reiki energy.I also offer the option to receive distance reiki if, for example, you are outside my travel zones or have an animal that would be more comfortable with this. Reiki is unlimited by time or space, and so can be sent by intention and received anywhere, at a time agreed by the consenting parties.If you have any questions at all, please reach out ♥️
Warm wishes,
Emma x
