My name is Elaine, I was born in the early 1980s in Edinburgh, Scotland. In 2007 I decided to take a little time to follow my heart’s desire and do a wee bit exploration of world. On that trip while spending time visiting family in Arizona before a trip through Central America, I met my husband. We married, and I moved to the USA in 2013. While the Arizonan landscape is in sharp contrast to the lush green countryside and bountiful rivers of Scotland, the majesticness and beauty of the desert stole heart and I have lived in Arizona ever since moving to the USA. 

I was led to Reiki in 2022, I had heard of it, but did not know much about it. At that time I had been suffering from prolonged hip pain for around 2 years. I had explored various approaches to finding relief, and then came an inner nudge to try Reiki. I was fortunate to find a wonderful Reiki practitioner. I was a little nervous to try it at first, not really knowing what to expect, but I had a truly lovely experience. While I did notice a sense of relief and improved wellbeing, what I hadn't anticipated was the feeling of being so genuinely cared for, supported and able to completely relax. That sense of calm, compassion and the space to simply be, became just as meaningful to me as the Reiki experience itself. Since that first visit, Reiki has become a valued part of my own self-care practice.

From somewhere within I had a desire for a long time to help others on their personal wellness journey, however, to begin with, I did not have a clear vision of what that looked like. Inspired by the nurturing Reiki sessions I received, and all in the right timing, I felt called to take a course in Reiki and I have not looked back. 

I look forward to providing you a Quiet Haven for rest and renewal and supporting you on your personal and unique wellness journey!
