One of the most important lessons I've learned on my path is, that I'm good enough. Sounds simple doesn't it? But it took me years to accept and really understand what that meant....
As a child I suffered from low self esteem, a lack of confidence and terrible anxiety. At school, I often felt overwhelmed and out of place, absorbing everyone else's emotions like they were my own, what I didn't realise at the time was, that I was an empath.
I just knew I couldn't wait to get home at the end of the day.
I thought that leaving school meant leaving the bullies behind, but in my very first job I found myself working with two bullies only this time, they were adults.
In the next few years my brother as well as my best friend lost his life to cancer after a long fought battle, I didn't know how I would carry on.
I'd also got married but quickly realised it wasn't what I'd hoped, I was often alone, even at night, but with two small children and a low self esteem, I ended up staying for years.
My Dad had been meditating for a few years and when my children were seven and ten he suggested I try it. I put it on my to do list, but with two young children it was a while till I finally got round to giving it a go....and wow that's when my life began to change!
The things I felt and experienced in meditation were addictive, it was incredible and I couldn't get enough, I meditated as often as I could. One day whilst meditating I got a message through loud and clear "learn Reiki and open a business..."
My self esteem and confidence were virtually none existent, but the message was so clear I looked Reiki up.
Was it an actual thing?
As at this point I'd never even heard of Reiki, so I read all about it and booked myself a Reiki healing session.
When telling people my plans to train in Reiki and set up a business the questions and doubts came from people thick and fast.... who'd come to you? Where will your customers come from? etc I didn't have any answers but knew one thing, if spirit was for it, it wouldn't fail, this was meant to be.
As well as training in Reiki, I trained in Reflexology, Aromatherapy, massage, crystal healing and anything else I could find. It was like I'd been thirsty all my life and had only just been given water, I couldn't get enough.
My business had been open less than a year when when my marriage finally ended, I walked out with nothing, only a car full of children, pets and clothes and no idea how or if I'd make it.
I battled with anxiety on a daily basis, I was told by many Christian friends and family members that they didn't approve of meditation, yoga, angels, energy healing, crystals and many other things that made me who I was.
They came to me concerned telling me I should give it up now, I questioned myself and wondered if they were right.
I stopped all courses and stayed stagnant, I didn't know what to do, I questioned myself and ignored my intuition.
I started to suffer with alopecia and crippling IBS, as the stress and pressure of being a single mum, financial struggles and pressure from other well meaning people started to get to me, using all my new healing techniques I managed to get over them both as my confidence and self esteem grew.
Over the years I've learnt to trust myself and listen to the wisdom that guides us all if only we let it.
I've `been in business over ten years now, everyday I feel so grateful and blessed that I get to do something that I love.
It's my mission to help and guide individuals in discovering their life purpose and aligning with their true selves. Through compassionate spiritual guidance and holistic healing, I empower others to heal, grow and live with clarity, balance and fulfilment.
I can not praise Anne Marie enough....!!! I look forward to my reflexology treatment. I have been coming here every month for the last two years now and I haven't looked back. I always leave feeling totally rebalanced. Thank you

Never had this before I was a bit worried before I came as I've had a stroke but it was so good and relaxing I fell asleep. I had swollen legs and feet before she started but the reflexology and massage has helped this. Anne Marie was very professional, caring and understanding, I would recommend her to anyone.

Anne Marie's Reiki sessions have been amazing for my anxiety. After a few sessions, I felt a noticeable reduction in my stress and anxiety levels and much calmer. Anne Marie's warm, healing energy helped me release the tension I was holding onto, I left each session feeling lighter and more peaceful. I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with anxiety.
