Hi, I'm Kate,
Reiki Master Teacher & Founder of Little School of Reiki
Over the past eight years, I’ve had the joy of guiding hundreds of students through their Reiki journey, and witnessing how transformative this practice can be when it’s nurtured in a supportive space.
Whatever invisible thread drew you here, I’m so glad our paths have crossed, and I look forward to getting to know you better too 💛
MY REIKI JOURNEY
What began as a spark of curiosity soon unfolded into a profound journey of self-healing and awakening — one that completely took me by surprise.
But first, let’s backtrack a little…
TURNING POINT
It was 2015, and everything was looking good on paper —
I’d graduated with a First in Fine Art, been approached by an agent to represent my artwork, and landed a job coordinating a major London art fair.
But beneath the surface, I’d been running on empty for some time.
The exhaustion and disconnection I’d been ignoring finally caught up with me, and I knew something needed to change.
FOLLOWING THE PULL
At the time, I had no plans to leave England — or even London — but I came across a three-month volunteer project in Borneo, and it turned out to be the catalyst I needed.
So I left my London job, packed my bags, and set off for Borneo.
After the project ended, I spent several months travelling around Southeast Asia — aware that I was searching for something I couldn’t yet name.
Eventually, I stumbled upon a job at a yoga centre in Cambodia that really resonated with me, and soon after, I found myself working there.
DISCOVERING REIKI
The lady who ran the centre was a Reiki practitioner and teacher, and it was there that I experienced Reiki for the first time.
Every session I received from her left me captivated — by the tangible sensations moving through my body, and how accurately she seemed to be able to read my energy.
I always left her sessions feeling light and rejuvenated.
So when she offered to teach me, I was incredibly excited.
At that point, my only experience of Reiki was receiving treatments from her, so I assumed I’d be learning a modality to offer to others.
What I didn’t realise was that Reiki is also a spiritual self-practice — and that side of it opened a door to a whole new reality for me.
HEALING FROM THE INSIDE OUT
Right from the start, I was deeply motivated to practise — having never considered myself particularly disciplined, this newfound dedication caught my attention.
It didn’t take long before the practice started to affect me in ways I’d never expected.
As I healed from within, my outer world started to shift too —
…excess weight fell away effortlessly,
…a new layer of healthy hair began to grow through,
…my teeth became whiter,
— just some of the visible signs of a much deeper transformation.
COMING HOME TO MYSELF
Reiki didn’t change who I was — it helped me remember and embrace who I’ve always been.
For years, I’d tried to hide the sensitive, introverted parts of me that I once saw as weaknesses.
When Reiki started to dissolve those inner blocks, I finally stopped pushing against my nature and started working with it instead.
It became clear that living in a city, doing fast-paced nine-to-five office work was not serving me — and that spending too much time around too many people drained my energy.
So I began crafting a more nourishing life for myself.
A PATH UNFOLDING
After a year in Cambodia, I continued exploring — travelling to Thailand, where I spent nine months studying Reiki, yoga, and meditation.
Eventually, I found my way to Indonesia, which became my home for the next eight years and marked the beginning of my professional Reiki practice.
THE HEALER'S CALLING
Those years of exploration profoundly shaped the path ahead — guiding me towards a life I hadn’t even realised I was searching for.
I never set out to teach Reiki — it just became the next natural step.
When people began asking me to share what I’d learnt, I discovered how fulfilling it was to guide others — and how teaching deepens my own relationship with Reiki too.
Reiki has transformed my life in countless ways.
It’s a path of ongoing discovery — one I feel truly grateful to walk, both as teacher and student, alongside others who feel called to do the same 💛
TEACHING APPROACH
Because Reiki is an unregulated industry, the quality of your training depends entirely on the integrity of your teacher.
At Little School of Reiki, I’m committed to maintaining the highest standards of authenticity and care.
The practices I teach are the same ones I use in my own daily life — because they truly work.
Trainings are small and always taught live, blending grounded philosophy with hands-on practice, Q&As, and ongoing support to help you integrate Reiki into everyday life.
Each course is thoughtfully crafted to offer a balance of clear guidance and structure, while allowing space for the experience to meet the unique needs of each group.

LINEAGE
Did you know there are now over 150 different lineages of Reiki?
Many of these are modern variations of the traditional system created by Mikao Usui.
Like many people, my Reiki journey began with a modern Western-style training, without realising there were different approaches or lineages.
It gave me a solid introduction to energy work and opened the door to this path — but over time, I felt drawn to explore the roots of Reiki more deeply.
This led me to retrain in traditional Japanese Reiki — specifically Usui Reiki Ryōhō — which is considered the closest to Usui’s original teachings.
This shift profoundly shaped the way I practice and teach today.
The trainings I offer are deeply grounded in traditional Japanese principles, yet never dogmatic — weaving in supportive, contemporary insights that keep the teachings practical, accessible, and adaptable to each student’s individual needs.
To date, I’ve guided over 500 healing sessions, led more than 200 trainings, and certified over 400 students.
Sharing this work, and witnessing the transformations it brings, remains one of my greatest joys 💛
