The birth of Bear Hands

The day that changed everything

After University, and a year as a post production runner spent trying to climb the TV production ladder, the financial pressures took over and the 9 to 5 life in office based work began. Despite being able to pay my bills and loving my work family, I was missing a feeling of purpose. I began researching complimentary therapy and felt a strong connection with the practice of Reiki healing. However, the lack of confidence took over and I found myself shutting my lap top down along with the self belief that I could truly make a difference to people. That same week, an invitation came my way to join some friends for an evening with a spirit medium offering individual readings. Before I uttered a word about myself, he simply looked at me for a few moments and said, “Have you been thinking about becoming a Reiki Practitioner?” Gobsmacked, I just about choked out the words “Yes, how on earth did you know?” and his response changed my life forever;

“Because my dear, as I look at you now, I can see smoke rising from your hands. It’s what you are destined to do.”

The reiki training was booked the very next day and my heart finally knew it’s true purpose.
