Reiki & Massage Treatment, Uniting Body, Mind and Spirit

We all need to relieve the stresses of the mundane so that we can begin to experience the inner peace. By using the Reiki energies combined with the oils of a gentle soothing aromatherapy massage you will start to remove those unwanted stresses and strains of the daily routine and enjoy the state of relaxation you need to recharge your energies.

 I have been using Reiki and Massage for many years, most recently aromatherapy massage in a hospice environment. I feel that with relaxation and a calm mind, our bodies are then able to start to heal themselves

Jane Bryan



My name is Jane Bryan. I have a background in pharmaceuticals but having been hit by major illness, I became very disillusioned with corporate life. In a quest to speed up my recovery I began to look at all forms of different complementary and well being therapies. With all of these therapies having had a positive impact not only on my illness, but also on my life, I decided to have a career change.

I started off this change by becoming a fully qualified beautician. However, I soon realised that my passion was also in complementary therapy and this put me on the path of Reiki, which I have been practicing for 3 years now. My husband suffers from quite a lot of stress in his job which he found was helped by having Indian Head Massage and so I undertook my training in this at the London School of Champissage.

It was there that I first came into contact with the Natural Facelift Massage, or Facial Rejuvenation, and having seen the results that can be achieved, I decided to study this - again under the tutorage of the London School of Champissage. In order to 'round off' these complementary therapies, I then studied Kansa Vatki Foot Massage - again with the London School of Champissage.

This then lead me on to Chakra Basti Massage and Ear Candling.
I have just become a fully trained and approved Environ Skin Care Professional and I continue my development by studying reflexology - which I hope to qualify in by April 2010.

My philosophy on therapy is that you need to treat the person as a whole - mind, body and spiritually.

The logo for my company - Hampshire WellBeing Company - is actually an MRI scan of my brain which was taken when I was seriously ill and it is there to remind me that I too have to keep my mind, body and spirit balanced.

Sarah Fulke

Sarah Fulke 

BSc.,  MAR,  KF Assoc.

 Associate of the Kinesiology Federation

I qualified as a Reflexologist in 2001 after training at The Academy of Aromatherapy and Massage in Falkirk, Scotland. I worked for a year in Scotland, during which time I decided to study Reiki. I moved to Belgium with my family, where I worked for three years just outside Brussels.

Whilst in Belgium I was lucky enough to experience kinesiology, a technique using muscle testing to identify stressors on the body..including food allergies. I was so impressed by this technique that I decided to study it. I found a Health Kinesiology (HK) course in London and travelled from Brussels when necessary.

Half way through the course I returned to the UK and moved down to the New Forest. I am now a qualified Health Kinesiologist, Reflexologist and Reiki practitioner.

I never tire of seeing the wonderful benefits people receive from these therapies and I feel very privileged to be able to help people make a real difference to their lives.

Justin Stynes



I have been aware of spirit from quite an early age.  During my younger years I had a lot of "strange" experiences that I couldn't explain.  But my most vivid childhood memory of spirit (although I didn't know it at the time) is of when my Gran died. We lived a few streets apart in a mining village in Coverntry. Gran had spent the day at our house because she was having building work done on her own.  When it was time for her to go home I was playing football in the street. She called me over for a kiss goodbye as usual. As she turned the corner I was overcome with emotion. I cried for ages but couldn't understand why because we were both happy and carfree and I would be seeing her later.  Gran was a very fit strong lady who had no health problems. However, I never got to see her again as she died suddenly that evening. I have since understood that spirit were telling me that meeting on the street would be the last time I ever saw her.
Many years later, during a holiday in Ireland, it was a chance meeting with a medium that encouraged me to develop my ability. When I got home I went straight to Charminster
Spiritualist Church and it is there that I met a lovely man called Bill Avery. He took me under his wing and helped me to pursue my mediumship.

The connection includes all the colours of the rainbow encased in a pearly white essence “the essence of God” reconnecting you to this source at a deeper level. This attunement can be given individually and on mass.

 

I also run workshops “The power of positive thinking and the art of manifestation” This workshop also includes the Light Of Vibration “LOVE “energy attunements. Let me share with you easy ways to manifest all the good things you desire, with simple effective ways to bring positive change right now.
