HOLISTIC CARE DURHAM
Treatments & Usui Reiki Training in County Durham
With Leanne Barker, Reiki Teacher, Practitioner & Author
Professional in person and online treatments, Reiki with massage or reflexology, and traditional Usui Reiki Ryoho training from Shoden through to Reiki Master Teacher level, taught in person and online
Treatments
I offer professional in-person and online Reiki treatments from Holistic Care Durham, supporting people through stress, overwhelm, fatigue, pain, illness and periods of change. Reiki is at the centre of my treatment work. You remain fully clothed and are given time to rest and receive your treatment without pressure, diagnosis or expectation. For those wanting a longer hands-on treatment, Reiki Plus combines Reiki with your choice of massage or reflexology, bringing both approaches together within one 90-minute appointment. Treatments are professional, individual and adapted to what you need from your time here.
Usui Reiki Ryoho Training Centre
Holistic Care Durham offers professional in-person and live online Usui Reiki Ryoho training, from Shoden and Okuden through to Shinpiden Master Teacher. My teaching has developed through years of practice, continued training and ongoing study of Japanese Reiki. I place particular emphasis on self-cultivation, the Reiki Precepts, meditation, ethics and lineage. Courses are taught carefully and in depth, with practical experience, clear guidance and continued support after training, so students can develop a genuine understanding of Reiki rather than simply complete a level.
The Reiki Dojo
The Reiki Dojo is my £12 monthly membership for Reiki students who want to keep learning and practising after their training has finished. Members have access to an expanding online library of Reiki teachings, Japanese practices, meditations and free CPD, alongside live Reiki Shares, Reiju, practice sessions and continued teaching throughout the year. It is open to Usui Reiki students from any lineage, not only those who trained with me, and gives you somewhere to keep asking questions, deepen your practice and stay connected to Reiki between courses. You also become part of the wider Dojo community, with online and in-person gatherings, member benefits and continued support as your Reiki develops.
Meet Leanne
I’m Leanne Barker, founder of Holistic Care Durham, Reiki Practitioner, Shinpiden Master Teacher and author. Before moving into this work professionally, I worked in NHS nursing, and I am a full member of the UK Reiki Federation. My Reiki teaching and practice continue to develop through ongoing training, study and research, particularly within Japanese Reiki practice and its wider historical and philosophical context. I believe becoming a teacher should never mean becoming finished as a student. Alongside my professional background, I’m autistic, which has shaped the way I learn, question, notice detail and communicate. I value clear information, individual needs and a straightforward approach, whether someone comes to me for a treatment or to study Reiki.
Ethics, Safeguarding & Professional Care
Holistic Care Durham provides a professional, respectful and appropriately boundaried environment for people seeking Reiki treatment, training or ongoing support. I work with people at many different stages of life, including those who are simply curious about Reiki, those experiencing stress or burnout, and people living with chronic illness, disability, grief or terminal illness.
Safeguarding, informed consent, confidentiality, dignity and professional boundaries are central to my practice. Touch is always explained and agreed, individual needs are taken seriously, and no client or student should ever feel pressured, frightened, shamed, manipulated or encouraged to hand over their own judgement. Reiki is offered as complementary support and is never presented as a replacement for medical diagnosis, treatment or appropriate professional care.
I’m Leanne Barker, Reiki Practitioner and Teacher, former NHS nurse and full member of the UK Reiki Federation. My aim is to offer care that is compassionate, clear, responsible and professionally grounded.
