Reiki Master & Educator
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

About Me
Kerry Heritage
My family is part of the reason I started my practice 25 + years ago when my children were young I was looking for a nurturing and holistic approach to use for their general heath care. After looking at many options I finally found Kinesiology. I loved its simplicity and its profoundly effective treatment protocols. I was hooked.
Suddenly I had a system of effective remedies to treat my children and other family members, as well as myself. My life as a busy Mum got a whole lot easier using what I learned from Kinesiology.
One thing led to another and soon my friends were asking for treatments and then their friends were asking for treatments and suddenly what began as a personal hobby turned into a business.
So I decided to leave the corporate world where I had been working in marketing, training and business management for fifteen years and invest in my professional Kinesiology qualifications.
That was the beginning of my journey into the complementary health industry. Over the past twenty years I have found and added extra qualifications in other effective modalities such as Counselling, Hypnotherapy, Reiki, Ear Candling, Past Life Regression, CranioSacral Therapy, SomatoEmotional Release, and Sculptural Face Lift which also incorporates TMJ and Jaw IntraOral Treatments.
In the last 5 years, as the children have become more independent, I have followed my developing interests in Anxiety disorders, and have initiated working within the Mental Health and Adoption fields. (As I have a lived experience of Adoption - this is an area of work that I am very passionate about.)
Holistic therapy is not only my passion but has become a way of life for me. Every day I see the benefits of these therapies and the enormously effective impact they have on my clients.
My business background and complex life experience has given me a diverse pool of experience to bring to my practice. I am a proactive person who strives to empower people to live life, manage their stress and to be happy.
“Together, you and I can create the optimum health & wellbeing you have been searching for...”
I look forward be being your support person on your personal journey of discovery.
Kerry Heritage
