Margaret Gray MSW., D. Psych.Astrology., Reiki Master Practitioner

Healing energy is available to all of us and there are many healing techniques available to assist us in accessing it.  My interest in complimentary therapies started in the mid 80's when someone close to me was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumour. On hearing of the diagnosis friend kindly gave me the original book on the Bristol Cancer Help Centre, which outlined healing approaches for the whole person, rather then merely focusing on the illness. In the early 90's Usui Reiki first found me and I was attuned to Reiki 1 whilst living in the UK. I was rather surprised at the time that I did not experience very much during the attunement, but assumed it was because I was unwell and I did not pursue Reiki further. Instead, I chose to develop my psychological astrology studies, as well as completing a holistic massage course and two years of a movement shiatsu course whilst working as a clinical social worker. In 1993 I was diagnosed with a benign pituitary tumour and both before and following surgery, I went for healing. My surgery was a great success and the doctors and nurses couldn't understand why my face was neither swollen nor bruised!

Over two years ago, I returned to Ireland from Hawai'i, as my elderly father needed support and I had the great fortune of meeting Betty Cosgrave and experiencing Reiki Healing for myself once more. Through my astrological work, I am very conscious of the changes we are currently going through as individuals and as a collective and the time finally felt right for me to continue with my own Reiki training. My goal as a Reiki practitioner is to facilitate your healing as an individual as well as healing on a collective and planetary level.

I am very grateful to all my teachers who have helped me re-connect consciously with the healing energies of the universe once again.
