HOLISTIC CARE DURHAM
Reiki Treatments & Usui Reiki Training in County Durham. With Leanne Barker, Reiki Practitioner, Teacher & Author
Professional Reiki treatments, massage and reflexology in County Durham, alongside traditional Usui Reiki Ryoho training from Shoden through to Reiki Master Teacher level. Training is available in person and 121 online.
Treatments
I offer professional in-person and online Reiki treatments from Holistic Care Durham Therapy & Training Center, supporting people through stress, overwhelm, fatigue, pain, illness and periods of change. Reiki and therapeutic touch are at the center of my treatment work. During sessions, you are given time to rest and receive your treatment without pressure, diagnosis or expectation. For those wanting a longer hands-on treatment, Nervous System Reset combines full-body massage with Reiki, 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 Training Centre
Holistic Care Durham offers professional in-person and live online 121 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.
KOKORO MAIL CLUB
A monthly letter from the North East landscape, folklore and intuition. Each month, Kokoro brings a real package through your door, together with a Month Ahead reading, original art, folklore from somewhere I have visited, a photograph from the landscape and a small piece to keep, make or explore.
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.
