My story
A gentle path to Reiki, guided by the animals and humans I've had the honour to hold space for.
Hello, I'm Lou Bailey. I'm a certified Reiki practitioner specialising in gentle, intuitive sessions for animals and humans alike.
My path to Reiki began with my own animal companions — discovering how deeply they respond to quiet, intentional energy. Today, I work with dogs, cats, horses, and humans seeking a softer way to support healing, ease anxiety, and reconnect with themselves.
I trained in Usui Reiki Levels I & II for both humans and animals, and every session I offer is held with patience, presence, and complete respect for the being in front of me.
Paws, hooves, or hands — every being is met at their own pace, never rushed.
