About me

Hello, My name is Gouri. I’m a Trauma-informed Reiki Master, Mindfulness practitioner and Hypnotherapist with over twenty years’ experience in Holistic therapy. I’m registered with the Reiki Association, CNHC and British Institute of Hypnotherapy, abiding by their professional standards and codes of ethics. 
 
My time in the therapy room has been spent compassionately helping empower people to dissolve their layers of fear so that they can arrive in a space of feeling like their true self. I myself continue to learn, keep my mind open and journey deeply. My self practice is not just a necessity but also a joyful way of life.
 
My aspiration is to understand your particular difficulties as well as your personality, hopes and dreams, in order to create a safe, trauma-informed space of healing that feels like it’s made just for you. 
 
Feel free to read a little about my background. 

My childhood was often spent naturally practicing hands-on-healing and experiencing spontaneous higher-meditative states. I had a thirst for reading about self-hypnosis, meditation, palmistry and yoga, knowing without a doubt that these practices could provide a direct path to human wellbeing. 
 
I also developed a strong interest in life itself, which in my early adulthood, led me to pursuing study in Biology to PhD level and a subsequent career in Public Health.
 
I loved science but my deeper purpose called me back into embarking on an in-depth Buddhist meditation programme where I simultaneously planted an intention to meet a Reiki Teacher, who appeared on the last day of the programme. From here I studied Reiki for three years and attained Usui Reiki Mastery.
 
My interest in hypnotherapy strengthened from a personal event, in which I used this incredible practice during the birth of my second baby to help heal my previous birth trauma. It was here that my interest in trauma began, and I was to learn and qualify in Hypnotherapy and Hypnobirthing.

Having held a healing space for thousands of clients, my journey of discovery continues. I enjoy updating my knowledge and staying curious, adapting my ways of working to create a more embodied, trauma-focussed practice in my work as a holistic therapist and as a Reiki Teacher.
