About the practitioner

Ellen Hawkins is a Reiki Master, Reiki Teacher and Reiki Practitioner who has been practicing Reiki on others and on herself for over seven years. During this time period Ellen has attended, and continues to participate, in a variety of workshops and training which compliment and enhance the healing attributes of Reiki. Ellen is currently a Student of Healing Touch International (www.HealingTouchInternational.org).

The journey into the alternative health field for Ellen began in the mid 1990's. It was during this time that Ellen was experiencing health issues herself and longed for methods that would nurture yet bolster her own bodies healing capabilities. The journey began with NAET (Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Treatments), acupuncture, herbs, homeopathy, flower essences, essential oils and diet changes. It was also during this time of movement towards regaining her own health that one of her Afghan Hounds began experiencing health issues. The search began for a healing method that would be suited to her canine friend and herself. A modality that would be non-invasive, gentle, calming and stress reducing. The wonderful journey into Reiki began!

Ellen credits Reiki, in part, for her well being and leading her to where she is today - more balanced on the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. She also credits Reiki for the health and well being of her canine companions who offer so much of themselves.

Ellen’s love of animals has always been in the forefront and in working with the Reiki energies has seen the profound health benefits Reiki can provide to all animal species.
