About the Business
I am a professional Homeopath and Reiki Master Teacher practising in Harrogate, North Yorkshire. I was introduced to homeopathy and Reiki as a patient in 2000 during a time of trauma and emotional stress. I was amazed at the subtle effect of the therapies - although my external circumstances hadn't changed I was much better able to cope with them and I felt much much better in myself.
In fact it opened up a whole new way of seeing things for me. Since then my whole family has used homeopathy - even my father who is a retired engineer and thought it all very suspicious. The scientist in him is honest enough to observe that hey - this works!
One of my daughters suffered from terrible earaches when she was little and I remember taking her to the doctors screaming her head off. We were shown straight to the consulting room and were then allowed straight to the front of the queue at the chemist's. Unfortunately it still took a while for the anitbiotics to kick in.
When I was studying homeopathy the same thing happened in the middle of the night - my daughter woke up screaming with pain. This time I was prepared - I gave her one dose of a homeopathic remedy (in her case it was Belladonna) and she stopped screaming,turned over and went to sleep. Using homeopathy with children is fantastic because they react so quickly.
I love the way that Reiki and homeopathy can be used side by side to enhance each other’s effect. A few years ago my husband broke his elbow badly and was told that he would never be able to straighten his arm again. He took remedies to help the bone heal and to sort out the accompanying bruising, sprains and shock and had regular Reiki treatments. His arm was back to normal in record time and his consultant was extremely surprised!
As for myself, homeopathy and Reiki allowed me to avoid a trip to the hospital for a nasty procedure last year for which I am extremely grateful!
As I hope you can see, I love these therapies and I want as many people to know about them as possible, because they are simple, powerful and gentle. I am also particularly interested in using the newer homeopathic remedies to support personal development.
I have a background in technical writing and worked for many years as a technical author in a software company in Germany. Before that I taught English as a foreign language. I speak German fluently and do occasional translation work (das Gespräch kann gern auf Deutsch geführt werden!). In my free time I enjoy yoga and music.

Reiki
Reiki is a touch healing therapy which is deeply relaxing. The meaning of the word Reiki is:
- Rei - Universal energy outside all living things.
- Ki - Life force energy inside all living things.
Reiki energy flows into the patient and gently balances the body. Blocks in the natural flow of energy around the body can lead to discomfort or disease and Reiki helps to dissolve these.
Reiki can be used to ease many conditions on the physical, mental, emotional and even spiritual levels. For example, sometimes physical or emotional trauma can get 'stuck' in a person's energy field leading to symptoms long after the event - people often say things like 'I haven't been right since that car accident/divorce/operation'. Reiki can find the trauma and work towards gently releasing it.
Reiki is useful in the management of stress and pain and for conditions such as insomnia and anxiety.
Because it is so gentle, Reiki is also very useful in palliative care or in other situations where someone is in great pain. The person can sit or lie in whatever position is most comfortable and I can give them Reiki without even having to touch them. Reiki is so soothing and relaxing that it really promotes a sense of well-being. It also boosts the immune system by clearing the energy field and supporting detoxification. Reiki is effective for everyone from babies and pregnant women to the very old.
What is Homeopathy ?
Homeopathy is a holistic therapy that looks at imbalances in your health and gently stimulates your body into healing itself. The aim of homeopathy is to tackle the cause of a complaint by looking at the whole person, not just at isolated symptoms.

I visited Sue for treatment a couple of years ago and she has helped me enormously! With great patience she listened attentively to all my problems in a safe and gentle manner helped me untangle what I could myself and then using her wisdom and insight gave me a remedy to help push me on further. I would highly recommend Sue to anyone seeking out a Homeopath. She is simply brilliant.
Thank you for introducing me to Reiki. I certainly benefited from your treatment. My leg is so much improved – as well as my confidence and general well-being. I look forward to meeting with you again for a treatment.
