I am a writer and teacher on Reiki and personal development and an ardent believer in there being a spiritual dimension to all aspects of life. Although a school teacher by training, I began to teach Reiki in my home town of Rugby in central England during the late 90’s and at the time, I was one of only a handful of Reiki teachers in central England. Needless to say, I taught this method to a lot of people; some of whom became teachers themselves. After two or three years of teaching Reiki in the UK, I moved to Egypt where alongside my career as an art teacher there, I was able to continue my teaching of Reiki. I returned to the UK after three years in Cairo and began work on my first book. In September 2006 'Reiki Jin Kei Do: The Way of Compassion & Wisdom' was published. It was and still is, the only text on the tradition and lineage of Reiki Jin Kei Do and has become the standard text for teachers within the tradition. I am now in Khartoum, Sudan, teaching art at the prestigious Unity High School and where I am currently working on my next book, the working title for which is ‘The Complete Reiki Bible’. I am a regular contributor and feature writer for a number of magazines, blogs and websites in the spirituality and personal development fields, and will soon be releasing a series of self development and meditation CD’s. I am also in the process of building up ‘OmAhHum’ – a spiritually focused education company – the first part of which ‘OmAhHum Reiki’ is now well established. Reiki teaching continues to take me on journeys of the spirit as well as journeys of a more physical kind, from Lithuania in Eastern Europe to Cairo and Khartoum. Other courses are being developed as time permits. As well as my writing and teaching, as an artist I am currently building up work for an exhibition on the theme of Reiki, which I hope will be shown widely in the not too distant future.
