Victoria works privately as a Reiki practitioner in London and is employed part time at University College Hospital. She works in a team employed by UCLH NHS Foundation Trust which is funded by charities. They offer complementary therapies to patients, carers and staff in Cancer Services. Victoria currently sees an average of 25 people a week at UCLH, who come from different cultural backgrounds and whose ages range from 2-92. Victoria practices in the out-patient radiotherapy department and on four inpatient wards.
Victoria was born with a condition, which took her straight to Great Ormond Street hospital for sick children. She had operations as baby, child and teenager and she has had numerous x-rays, injections and clinic appointments. As a teenager Victoria was moved into adult services, which meant she had to attend many different hospitals. In her twenties she had more operations and still has clinic appointments, scans and tests at UCLH.
Victoria found moving into adult services confusing and traumatic much like adolescence itself. A portion of Victoria’s work at UCLH now is giving Reiki to adolescents; she is part of a multidisciplinary team who care for patients also going through the transition from child to adult services. It is a testament to the progress of the NHS and the recognition of people’s emotional and physiological needs that this is supported today 30 years after Victoria’s experience. Victoria is extremely grateful for the NHS and now understands why certain negative experiences had to be the way they were. Medical staff time tends to be at a premium and conditions and treatments were not always clearly explained and this caused her emotional and physical side effects. People were treated in sections, one department for one part, and one department for another so the body was not treated as a whole. Victoria uses Reiki to treat the whole person, body and mind.
Victoria recalls, “In my late twenties whilst in The Middlesex Hospital, I was in a great deal of pain and recovery seemed slow. Someone on the ward recommended Reiki. A gentleman came in and gave me a treatment, my life changed from that moment. Instantly I had no pain and a quicker recovery. Emotionally I was less stressed and more contented. This was something that I hadn’t found anywhere else in the NHS and was in my opinion the missing link.
I knew I needed to find out more. Reiki level one is about working on oneself, so in 1997 I took this level. I used Reiki on myself in waiting rooms, whilst having x-rays, blood tests and on the wards, I can honestly say that my whole hospital experience changed I felt alert and well. My anxious feelings were calmed, my mind was more focused for questions, I felt more informed and clear about my situation and I received the support I needed. Within the past 12 years have had no complications from my condition. I can’t say this is all due to Reiki but it is what I have done differently and treating myself is an important part of my continued development.
It is a dream come true for me, working in the NHS hospital where I started my Reiki journey. Having a vocation as a Reiki practitioner who gives treatments that are seen to be beneficial to patients and complementary to conventional medical treatments is incredible for me and I see the benefits several times a day.”
