“ I had the best couple of days doing Reiki training with Helen aboard her beautiful boat. Helen is an amazing teacher and the venue for the course was just perfect! I would highly recommend Healing in the Harbour as Helen is such a lovely person and very knowledgeable too. Thank you Helen! ”

“ I took my Reiki 2 training with Helen. I highly recommend it for the following reasons: It's one of the few Reiki 2 course conducted over two days so there's a very relaxed feel to the training. The location of the training (Bristol riverside) is beautiful. The training felt personalised; Helen helped me to apply the Reiki 2 principles/possibilities to my own life. The meditations (and attunement) were very relaxing. Finally, Helen was open and shared her experiences with me which was helpful. I would recommend! ”

“ Wow! Helen is a wonderful lady! You cannot help but feel super comfortable and at ease around her. Have to say my Reiki treatment was one of the best experiences I’ve had. I could certainly feel movement of energy, and although I started off feeling a bit tense anyway (just from general life stuff), come the end of the session I felt so calm and clear. Helen gave me a run down at the end, and any intuitive thoughts that came by for her, which completely resonated with me. I would recommend Healing on the harbour to anybody! ”

“ Wow what an amazing experience with Helen and I can't recommend her enough.I am a male and paid for 3 reiki sessions and just felt so relaxed and felt a shift and could feel her hands radiating through me. Helen is so easy and genuine and so easy to talk to and is full of wisdom and kindness. My daughter is going to have some sessions.The strange thing is I had a big growth come up on my head about the size of a hazelnut and was getting bigger and had a doctors appointment booked as I wanted to make sure it wasn't skin cancer.After 2 sessions it has completely gone and really strange as I had it for a year. Just go for it and you will love it,plus the messages are amazing.Rob ”

“ I had an amazing healing with Helen last week. I was feeling burnt-out, tierd, was lacking any focus or clarity and just kit my self. Straight after the session I felt more clear headed, lighter and just more alive. This week I have noticed the benefits of my session with Helen so much and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reiki treatment in the lovely harbour side. It's a perfect location.”

“ Received my Reiki 1&2 here and I'm glad I chose Helen - She's approaching you very much like an individual in her teachings as opposed to adhering to some general script that might fit - without losing any of the knowledge that is required for you to have. Very patient with all my questions and bursts of enthusiasm, lovely and welcoming atmosphere on her boat - you feel quite safe there with her. Thank you for everything, Helen! Much love!”
Beatrice Theyrer     November 2020 Reiki, Google review rating

“ I am extremely grateful to have had my Reiki attunement 1 with Helen. Throughout the entire day we spent together I felt safe and cozy, two elements which I perceive to be essential. She shared all information in a loving and simple manner and then showed me in a practical way how to do everything. Every question I had, she was able to answer and she shared her personal insights and stories with me which really helped me gain a deeper understanding of the blessing that Reiki really is. She is truly a beautiful teacher and soul, couldn’t recommend her enough.
Since the attunement, I traveled a lot and Reiki kept me grounded, and during this pandemic, it has helped me to feel protected. Reiki has given me back the trust I needed in myself and the connection with the universe I was so deeply desiring to recover. Truly words cannot express my gratitude for the role Helen has played in all this. ”

“ A little gem tucked away in the harbour! Helen was extremely warm and welcoming from the moment I emailed to actually meeting in person. She helped create a very comforting and peaceful environment on the boat as well.
I have really benefitted from our Reiki sessions and could not recommend it enough! It has been just the thing i've needed to to realign and refocus myself.
Very positive and loved receiving the messages at the end of each session! Thankyou! x ”
India Mercer     August 2019 Reiki, Google review rating

“ Helen is such a lovely, kind and supportive healer! When I first went for a reiki session I was figuring out if I should get the 3 session deal or just stick with the one I had gone in for, after our first session I felt amazing, everything seemed perfect in the world, Reiki had really helped me balance my energy and so I decided to come in for a couple more sessions. Helen's boat, Miss Daydreamer is such a peaceful place to have Reiki on, the calm water below and getting reiki while floating on harbour side is such a beautiful experience! Would 100% recommend her. I will be going for more sessions soon as well, looking forward to it! Thank you Helen :) ”

“ Helen is a beautiful spiritual warm loving healer. I felt immediately comfortable and held in her presence. I’ve had a number of reiki sessions, I also want a yoni steam. I could not recommend Helen more highly. Having a session with Helen is giving yourself the very best self loving hug and we all need those! ”

“ I've now had two Reiki sessions with Helen, and not only has it been really helpful, insightful, and stress-relieving in the moment, and the days following but it's also really helped me to further my understanding of my own body. The gentle swaying of the boat is a wonderful plus to the deep-relaxation you experience with Helen. Thank you Helen! ”

“ Helen is a warm, kind, caring person who makes you feel instantly at ease. The space is beautiful, both inside and outside the boat and I felt instantly calmed just being there. Every session has left me feeling peaceful, safe and loved. Thank you Helen for your wonderful work. ”
Chloe Perkins     January 2019 Reiki, Google review rating

“ I had my first Reiki session with Helen, and I found the experience to be relaxing, enlightening and great for balancing my Qi and Chakras. She was able to pickup on issues I was aware of and issues I was unaware of which has been an amazing gift to help guide me in my spiritual and emotional development and growth. The gentle rocking of the boat on the water makes it easy to relax into the session. Helen is a very genuine and kind woman who I felt at ease with and could relax with to have an amazing first introduction to Reiki. I’m looking forward to our next session to see how her feedback has helped me find a better balance with my energetic self. ”
Simon from Bristol     January 2019 Reiki review

“ Helen has a really lovely set up - on the boat you feel far away from the everyday and her reiki and the way she shares messages with you creates a very healing and thought-provoking experience. ”
BP from Bristol     December 2018 Reiki review

“ I had an amazing experience with Helen she was very warm and friendly and I felt completely relaxed after the reiki the messages that came through really helped and Helen kindly records these and we had a nice chat after really lovely lady with an incredible healing gift!”

“ I just wanted to say a massive thank you for my Goddess steaming. Wow! Honestly! It was such a wonderful experience. My period started the day after and it felt like my body was purging all the things that no longer serve me. It was truly a powerful and humbling experience and I'm so grateful that I got to experience that with you! So thank you”
Anonymous     September 2018 Yoni Steam review

“ Healing in the Harbour is such a unique experience, you have to try it! Having a session on a boat with the sun streaming down on you is such a treat. Helen’s reiki therapy is amazing too. I’ve felt really energised and positive after, and hearing the messages she receives is a totally different experience to other reiki sessions I’ve had. I also find it really useful that the messages are recorded so you can listen at a later date, as I’m usually so zonked afterwards I would forget everything she’s trying to teach me! Can’t wait for my next session 😊”
Kate W     August 2018 Reiki, Google review rating

“ **** Updated review: since my last review, I have had a few more amazing reiki treatments, which I love; they always ground and energise me. The messages I get are spookily accurate.
Today I had my first goddess healing session, and I really can't even put into words how amazing it was! I've never felt such a deep sense of relaxation. I felt like I had moulded into the bed! I had various sensations, from goosebumps to tingling and a feeling of heaviness. Plus I had lots of lovely vision and colours swirling around.
I'd never heard of goddess healing before and thought it was a bit too out there for me, but after attending a few lovely group goddess meditations hosted by Helen, I thought I'd keep an open mind and give it a go.
The treatment consisted of drums and rattles and a seed rattle all over your body which feels amazing! Helen also put a lovely clay mask on my solar plexus to draw out anything that I needed to release. Then she called in various goddess energies to work with me. There was lovely music playing, and the swaying of the boat and gentle breeze was incredible.
It was so beautiful and powerful and I don't think I can wait another week for my next one! This is a must have treatment!”

“ I don't usually write reviews but Helen is an absolute sweetheart! I could tell that she has a beautiful spirit from the moment I spoke to her on the phone to book my first reiki session. She's a fantastic healer and I can't wait for my next session with her. Highly recommended, you won't be disappointed! ”
Steph LJ      July 2018 Reiki, Google review rating

“ I had a wonderful Reiki session with Helen recently and I am so pleased that my first ever experience of this treatment was with such a kind, warm and friendly person. I felt really looked after from start to finish, and the setting was just so perfect. During the treatment I felt the gentle rocking of the boat and it was so incredibly relaxing and peaceful. Helen had some interesting insights for me that she picked up on during the Reiki - I definitely went away with a sense of peace and a few things to reflect on. I am very grateful for this experience and I hope to book in again soon. ”
Hannah      June 2018 Reiki

“ Healing in the Harbour is an absolute MUST DO experience! Serene surroundings in which to enjoy a truly relaxing reiki session with the lovely Helen. I have been suffering with stress and anxiety for some time and seeing the positive differences Helen had made with a friend of mine, spurred me on to book a session. Helen makes you feels as ease straight away, I could literally feel myself floating away during the session. I'll definitely be back for more, its the most relaxed I've felt in a long, long time. The channelled messages that Helen past onto me were both very accurate and have helped to guide me in the right direction and made me more positive about my future. ”

“ I’ve had 4 reiki sessions with Helen and feel so much better mentally and physically. I have a more positive outlook, more energy and I feel so much more relaxed. Helen is lovely and puts you at ease straight away. Helen receives spiritual messages during the session and goes through them with you at the end. Every time I’m stunned by just how accurate they are. I feel like this has had such a positive affect on me and will continue my sessions as long as I can. ”

“ I have had two reiki sessions with Helen so far and can't recommend it enough. The sessions left me with a profound sense of relaxation and wellbeing. I felt like a weight had been lifted after both sessions. Helen is lovely and puts you at ease, and the lovely setting and motion of the boat adds to the peace and relaxation. I can't wait for my next session!”

“ I've been having monthly Reiki sessions with Helen for about 4 months now, which have been really helpful for rebalancing mind, body and spirit. It's quite lovely having treatments on a boat, and an added bonus with Helen is that she is able to receive information/messages as she goes through the session, which she notes down, and then records for you afterwards. This is sent straight away in an mp3 file to your email. It's been a very valuable addition, and always gives me food for thought. ”
Dave     April 2018 Reiki, Google review rating

“ I have had a Reiki attunement and treatment just a few weeks ago with Helen at Healing in the Harbour and it was a truly magical experience. The setting is truly beautiful and together with the warm welcome creates a profoundly relaxing atmosphere. Helen is an excellent teacher - she is wise and funny and open to questions and proceeds at a pace that is tailored to exactly what is needed. The overwhelming feeling I have had increasingly during, and at the end of my visit to 'Healing in the Harbour' and beyond was one of Peace. Thank you so much Helen. ”

“ Thankyou so much Helen. I find Reiki so relaxing and it has helped relieve my sinus problems so that I no longer use Becanese daily. It has helped my backache and other ailments which I would normally need antibiotics for. My time with you improves both my physical and mental wellbeing. ”

“ Sacred foot bathing
A calming and peaceful experience which soothed all the senses, beautiful relaxation music and essential oil scents created a space to reflect. A deeply relaxing ceremony which Helen conducts with grace. I would highly recommend this experience. ”

“ I thought I'd book a yoni steam I was interested and had never heard of them before, so I booked one with Helen, before my appointment I googled yoni steam and here's what I found..... Ok so it's a vaginal steaming which makes sense we steam other parts of our bodies, so why not our vagina. Throughout history, many women have found yoni steams to have the following effects:

• Significantly reduce pain, bloating and exhaustion associated with menstruation.
• Decrease menstrual flow as well as reduce dark purple or brown blood at the onset or end of menses.
• Regulate irregular or absent menstrual cycles.
• Increase fertility, especially when combined with Mayan abdominal massage
• Speed healing and tone the reproductive system after birth.
• Treat uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, uterine weakness, uterine prolapse and endometriosis.
• Assist with the repair of a vaginal tear, episiotomy or C-section scar.
• Assist with the healing of hemorrhoids.
• Treat chronic vaginal/yeast infections, and works to maintain healthy odor.
• Relieve symptoms of menopause.
• Detoxify the womb and remove toxins from the body.

“ thank you! My Sunday session was so special and just what I needed. Relaxing and calming.., I definitely feel that I have more clarity since. Really worthwhile and I certainly feel less stressed. Can't recommend you highly enough. Claire. ”

“ I visited Helen on her lovely boat for a goddess healing session, I wasn't sure what to expect but Helen put me at my ease and explained how the treatment would go. It was a calming and enlightening session, Helen recorded her explanation of what she felt from the treatment, this is such a useful tool as it means that you can listen to it agin later when you might have forgotten those useful tips. Helen is a warm and caring healer and I always feel invigorated after a visit. Highly recommended ?? ”

“ Was in a totally relaxed setting, Helen made you feel totally at ease, The course was split into 2 days which was perfect. Good clear instructions and explanations. Lots of time for questions. Wasn't rushed. Loved doing the reiki on each other at the end. Ideal place to train people on water. Thank you Helen, the course was so enjoyable and totally relaxing. ”

“ I have had several Reiki sessions with Helen and they have been immensely helpful. I particularly appreciated her ability to visualise/perceive the symbols and issues. And the experience was enhanced by being on her cosy boat with its soothing, watery surroundings ”
Marina     November 2016 Reiki

“ My experience with Helen in 2 sessions of Reiki (one was long distance) was nothing short of incredible! I felt so relaxed and at peace after both treatments. The information she shared with me that she had received was spot on! She is so tuned in and lovely. I was so at ease with her because her manner is so reassuring and gentle. What a wonderful connection she has and it is obvious she enjoys what she is doing. I look forward to another meeting and I highly recommend her! ”

“ I would highly recommend Helen from Reiki on the Water, Bristol. I have had many Reiki treatments from Helen, both in person and from a distance. I can honestly say I have really benefited from her expert healing hands. She is very intuitive and I find her treatments always leave me feeling energetically re-balanced and refreshed. She always seems to get to the route of the problem and works on re-balancing the relevant chakra. Just wonderful!! ”
Debbie     February 2016 Reiki, Google review rating

“ A Reiki treatment with Helen is a deeply relaxing experience (sometimes I've actually fallen asleep midway through, which is completely fine!), but also an illuminating one. I've had sessions over a 2 year period, some in person and some long distance. I like the fact that, as well as working with your energy, after the treatment, she tells you what she has felt and seen in your energy-body and aura. It's fascinating. She sees amazing things! I think the sessions shift my energy to a new level... sometimes it's challenging in the days following the treatment, as things settle - but I think that's how it has to be for me, since my path is one of personal transformation. I think Helen is a gifted Reiki practitioner; she gets to the heart of you, and she senses exactly where you're at and what you need. I recommend her! ”
