Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing, a type of alternative medicine. Reiki practitioners use a technique called palm healing or hands-on healing through which a "universal energy" is said to be transferred through the palms of the practitioner to the patient in order to encourage emotional or physical healing.

At the beginning of 1994, he came into contact with Reiki, attending a First Degree Reiki seminar run by a Reiki Master of The Reiki Network® with his parents.
Seeing Reiki's improvements to the whole family, they quickly went on to the Second Degree.
It became apparent to him that Reiki was one of the best tools for the non-invasive support of personal growth that he'd encountered, so he applied for training as a Reiki Master within the Network.
He finished his year's training mid-1996 and now gives treatments and teaches Reiki in English and German in England, Switzerland and Spain.
In 2004, he began a training course as an adult educator, which he completed in the following year.
As part of his training, he created the written training concept that The Reiki Network® now uses.
He has begun working on a second self-help book and a series of smaller information products for personal development.
In the meantime, he is writing novels in both science fiction and fantasy, plus several collections of short stories.
Presently, he has switched to writing fiction, specialising in science fiction, space opera, fantasy, urban fantasy, magical realism, slipstream, interstitial, horror, fairy tales, fairy stories, noir, detective fiction, action and thriller, humour, YA, and children's stories.
