Aroha Wellbeing Reiki
Reiki Master Practitioner, Life Coach & Founder of Aroha Wellbeing
Founder of Aroha Wellbeing, I’m a qualified Reiki Master Practitioner and member of the UK Reiki Federation. I offer one to one Traditional Reiki, one to one Reiki Fusion treatments and Reiki Bath group classes.
My Traditional Reiki treatments help you to re-connect, re-synch and re-balance with meditation, hands on chakra healing and Reiki symbology, to create profound spiritual, mental, emotional and physical transformations. It’s a time for your conscious and subconscious self to explore, unveil and heal inner emotional, physical and energetic imbalances in a safe space that is inspiring and non-judgemental. My treatments can help you gain a renewed sense of optimism and confidence, defuse stress and anxiety, elevate self-esteem and present solutions to challenges that are holding you back, whilst re-organising you at an energetic level. Reiki has the potential to give you exactly what you need, just when you need it the most / £65 for 1hr. Book on my website below.
My Reiki Bath Group Classes are unique and inspiring, where beautiful Reiki healing energy washes over you as you comfortably lie down on your mat. It’s a serenade of Reiki healing, meditative storytelling, sumptuous soundscapes, manifestation, intention-setting & Reiki self-care. Mats and blankets are provided, but you’re welcome to bring your own pillows, cushions and blankets, similar to what you may bring to a sound bath experience if this feels snuggly, as you explore your true self through Reiki energetics / £10 for 1hr. Book on my website below.
My Reiki Retreat Days run at various dates across the year, see my website below for more details.
I’m also a qualified Life Coach, having trained at The Mindful Talent Coaching Academy, and a member of the globally respected Association for Coaching. I believe you can make what you want to happen, happen. You are unique. Your story is yours and yours alone. I encourage, support and challenge you to achieve your goals. I actively listen and shape new ways to help you think differently, by shifting your mindset and driving you to reach your aspirations. I encourage you to innovate and create your own lifestyle design. My approach to coaching is structured, intuitive and adventurous. I follow a process with empathy, compassion, authenticity, creativity, pragmatism and candour. I dedicate myself to you wholly. I want you to succeed. With my direction and cultivation, I help you to achieve what matters most to you by empowering you to take control and unblock challenges that are holding you back.

Pilates Teacher
Charlie’s life has centred around movement for as long as she can remember. A certified Pilates teacher with the renowned Body Control Pilates, she seamlessly blends her dance background with her passion for movement and wellness. With extensive training at the prestigious London School of Musical Theatre and years of professional experience as a dancer and aerialist, Charlie brings a unique perspective to her Pilates practice.

After just one class, she was captivated by its transformative effects on her core strength, posture, and overall well-being. This newfound love for Pilates prompted Charlie to become a Pilates teacher, a decision she considers the best she has ever made.

Her deep understanding of movement and beautiful form resonates in her teaching, allowing her to guide others towards achieving their full potential and experiencing the joy of graceful movement.

Pilates Teacher
I have recently moved to this beautiful part of the world from The London/Surrey borders where for the past 20+ years I have taught Pilates in my own studios. I am an ex professional dancer and after retiring from the stage I re-trained as a Pilates teacher with The Body Control Pilates Association to Master trainer level.
I am also qualified as a Gyrotonic teacher which is less well known than Pilates but I allow this method, alongside my dance background to influence my Pilates teaching and to help my clients to achieve an ease of movement that they thought was lost in their youth. I see powerful changes in my clients every day and show them just how much potential is hidden inside them when you work with your body rather against it.
