Hi, I’m Sara – the creator of Star Reiki. Part therapist, part guide, fully human.
My path here hasn’t been smooth.
I’ve navigated anxiety, addiction and depression.
I’ve been a carer, a single mum, and the one holding everything together while supporting my daughter with Aspergers into independent living.
Somewhere along the way, I realised I needed more than just coping. I needed a way back to myself.
That search opened the door to Reiki, massage and energy work… and to a quieter kind of spirituality that lives in everyday life, not just in workshops and books.
“People often tell me they feel calmer the moment they arrive. Not because I’m doing anything dramatic… but because I’m real with them”
What I offer now is a safe space to come and unwind where we customise your treatment based on your individual needs:
I work with people who look “fine” on the outside but feel overloaded inside.
City workers, carers, parents, therapists, creatives… people who are often the strong ones for others.
In sessions, I combine hands‐on therapies like Reiki and aromatherapy massage interweaved with guided relaxations, simple, honest conversation and a lot of presence.
Sometimes we talk.
Sometimes we don’t.
Sometimes you just need to lie down and let your system do the work.
There’s space here for both:
“The experience was deeply calming and grounding… Highly recommend for anyone needing time to reset.”

This is not about all the extra certifications, but the presence and attention I hold for you.
I’ve sat in the dark many times and had to find my own way out, collecting tools and practices that now come naturally when I’m guiding others back to their strength, (inner power, God‐given gifts) and hidden talents.
We all have an innate knowing and wisdom – sometimes we just need a steady hand to help us recognise ourselves again, beyond the stories and circumstances that keep us stuck.
If you’re tired of holding everything together on your own, this is a place where you can put some of it down.
We all need time to recharge and reset.
My role is to help you clear what’s been building up and reconnect with yourself again.
If you’re tired of holding everything together on your own, weighed down or spun out with emotions or pain, and you feel that something in you is ready for a kinder softer way of living… this is your welcoming place.
We all need a chance to recharge and reset.
Clearing the cobwebs away and reminding you of your gifts is my happy place.
Another thing I love is empowering you to use these tools and techniques for yourself in everyday life – through Reiki trainings, retreats, workshops, circles, exhibitions and corporate wellbeing days.
Whether you meet me in London Wall or at the Riverside retreat, I always prioritise a friendly and warm space and my intention is simple:
that you leave with clarity, feeling inspired and recharged with your own special
glow.
I’ve been working with Reiki and holistic therapies for over a decade. I’m a Reiki Master Teacher, trained in aromatherapy massage, NLP, hypnotherapy and other complementary therapies, and a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT).
Beyond certificates, I’ve lived through anxiety, depression, addiction, single parenting and navigating the system with my autistic daughter. The tools I use aren’t just things I’ve studied – they’re things I’ve used to rebuild my own life and support others through very real and complex challenges.
I love watching people soften and remember who they are.
When someone’s face changes on the couch, when they sit up from a session feeling clearer, or leave a retreat standing a little taller… that lights me up.
I’m happiest when I’m creating calm, cosy spaces, cooking simple food, walking by the river, laughing with people and helping them see their own gifts again.
I’m inspired by people reclaiming their lives in quiet, steady ways – women who start to trust themselves again, use the tools and step into their own strength and purpose.
I don’t see healing as fixing or becoming a different person.
For me, healing is about coming back to yourself. Letting your body feel safe again. Letting your nervous system settle so you can hear your own truth.
Sometimes that looks like pain easing or sleep improving. Sometimes it looks like finally setting a boundary, leaving an old pattern, or feeling more kindness toward yourself.
My role is to walk alongside you, not tell you who to be.
There have been times I felt completely lost.
Leaving a high‑control spiritual group.
Facing my own addictions and depression.
Raising my daughter alone while she struggled with anxiety, autism and an eating disorder, and feeling like I had to hold everything together with very little support.
Those seasons broke me open – and made me very real. I don’t judge where people are. I know what it’s like to feel like you’re just surviving.
A big turning point was a Reiki retreat in Glastonbury with my daughter, where we both trained and something shifted for us.
Seeing her move into independent living, thriving and creative after everything we went through is one of my greatest joys.
Star Reiki grew out of my own need for a safe, grounded space.
I wanted somewhere that wasn’t clinical, but also wasn’t fluffy or performative – just real, kind and effective.
It began with treatments in the City, then naturally expanded into the Riverside retreat, trainings and circles as more people wanted a place to rest deeply, go further and stay connected. I couldn’t find the exact right place outside so I thought I’d create it myself
Yes. Many people who come to me are curious but unsure, or have had odd experiences elsewhere and want something more grounded.
You don’t need to know anything about Reiki, crystals or healing. You just need to be willing to show up as you are. We’ll go at a pace that feels right for you.
