Your teacher - Reiki with Nix in Nature. Nikki Skittlethorpe (BA Hons, MFHT)

Nikki

I have been studying Reiki since October 2012 and use it everyday. Reiki is a gift and joy and has positively transformed my life in so many ways.  In addition to my daily Reiki, I have studied intensively with my Reiki teacher for two and a half years to be a Reiki Master teacher.   You would be joining a pure and traceable lineage where each teacher has dedicated their lives to self growth and helping others to see and being their true potential.


You can read more information about my Reiki journey and training on my page, My Reiki Training.
