About Catherine

"Born in Toronto, Canada, I trained as a Reiki Master Teacher with Reiki Evolution in 2008, an organization that strives to follow the original Japanese Mikao Usui system of Reiki healing. I qualified in Reiki drumming Technique in 2009 and have been giving treatments and teaching courses ever since. I have over 10 years experience of working with energy, which first began with Tai Chi and Qi Gong. I continue to practice in this Martial Art which helps complement the energy work I do.

The first time I received a treatment, I found it to be a very personal and unique experience and I knew from that day forward Reiki would be part of my life! After a couple of treatments I took some healing courses in other various systems before deciding to learn the Usui Reiki System, and start my Reiki Evolution training in 2006.

I strive to develop my own healing journey through workshops, courses and continued personal development. I also enjoys helping others and empowering them to help themselves with self healing through meditation, visualization, movement, sound healing, Reiki and Reiki Drumming."

 “From the first contact Cathy  was very professional and made me feel I was making the right choice in course and teacher. The pre-course work book was really interesting and it helped loads. I was able to learn the history of Reiki and get a good basic understanding of Reiki and the techniques before doing the  course. Having the agenda for the day before attending also helped to know what to expect. The course met all my expectations. Cathy is a fabulous teacher. The day felt very relaxed and went by quickly even though we covered so much. We went through techniques, felt energies and were able to give and receive treatments. I left feeling extremely relaxed and at peace, inspired and really connected. It was a wonderful course and I would fully recommend it"                                                                                                                                                       C. Pressland - Bedfordshire

***********************

“Having previously known very little about Reiki, it was after a lovely treatment with Cathy that I became interested in this form of therapy and decided to further my knowledge with Level 1, and later, Level 2. Cathy provided me with course information and pre-reading material in advance, and the content of the course was thorough, clearly presented and we had plenty of chance to practice what we had learnt. Cathy was a patient and enthusiastic teacher and clearly enjoyed sharing her years of knowledge with us. It was a pleasure learning from someone so passionate about what they are teaching and I highly recommend Cathy to anyone wishing to embark on their own Reiki journey)"

  “I loved my Reiki training with Catherine Birkinhead. I found her to be really kind and patient and made me feel at ease straight away and I could tell she knew her stuff. The course materials with Reiki Evolution were really easy to understand and grasp. The course fulfilled my expectations and I really enjoyed everything about it. The practicing on each other, sending energy, the meditations…..all in all a great experience and I would love to do it  again."

I would consider her course of the highest standard and outlined in a way I can truly apply in my everyday life. My course with Cathy was life changing and gave me a better understanding of Reiki and a more intuitive knowing of my true healing potential. Cathy has such a professional approach to her course that I feel I gained every essential element to become a practitioner myself. I would recommend Cathy to anyone wishing to understand more about the sacred power of Reiki.”
