Master
I am a Holistic Therapist and Reiki Master specialising in a romatherapy massage, Reiki treatments and courses as well as Angel g uidance readings. Originally from Zimbabwe, I moved to the UK ten years ago in search of something new and to gain some life experience. I come from a very Spiritual family and I have communicated with Angels and Spirits since I was four years old. I started doing Angel readings for friends and family at the age of fourteen and after years of growth & learning, I now do distance and face to face readings for people all over the world with the help of my Guardian Angel, Archangel Michael. In order to continue helping others, I studied holistic therapies in my spare time to increase my knowledge and Spiritual awareness. After working in a very stressful, corporate environment, I decided to leave my job to follow my heart and start practising holistic therapies full time. My main aim in life is to make a positive difference in the world by helping others to find inner peace through relaxation and guidance from the Angels. We all spend too much time worrying and I believe that sometimes all we need to do is stop, ask the Universe for help and then trust its guidance. I love to share my experiences with others and I am always fascinated to hear their stories too, as this is how we all learn and grow. www.angelicwhispers.net
