My focus is very much on practical application to help you realise opportunities and address challenges: make more sales, reduce unhealthy conflict, manage important stakeholders, align and motivate your teams and organisation, achieve clarity of purpose, drive change programmes, etc.

A former senior RAF officer, I have held roles that included interim director, senior trustee, enterprise architect, consultant/coach and course designer/lead instructor. Activities included BD, change programme leadership, commissioning consultants, senior stakeholder management, key position recruitment, etc.

Other qualifications include:
- BSc (Open University) – General Sciences and Astronomy/Astrobiology
- Programme Management – MSP
- Project Management – PRINCE 2 (Practitioner), APM Certificate

Hello!&nbsp;
I am Emy, your Reiki Master, Crystal Healer, Sound Healing Facilitator and Yoga Teacher. I founded ChokuReiki Healing in 2019 to bring healing energy and positive vibes to you.
?I am originally from Colombia and started exploring my spirituality in 2009. Reiki came to me from a divine guidance to channel my energy to help people out. I started my Reiki journey in 2014 studying at the London Reiki Academy where I qualified as Reiki therapist and Reiki Master following Mikao Usui techniques.
?I started practicing Yoga in 2012 because I wanted something that would give me the freedom to move my body and tuned in with my energy. I started my Yoga Teacher journey in 2020 with a school in India as I wanted to learn the classic Yoga style and get to understand the Yoga philosophy from the source.
My brand ChokuReiki Healing is all about sharing love and positive vibes to support people&apos;s energy and mental health through my work as energy healer and my handmade healing products (candles, crystal jewellery, oils and salts).
