Mark Barwell

Mark has been actively working on his spiritual development since 1996, initially with a strong foundation in Shamanism and then incorporating additional interests in Reiki Healing and Tarot Reading. He has since gone on to become a teacher in each of these 3 areas of his life.

Shamanism provides the "roots" of Mark's spiritual practices and he feels that this connection with natural energies and spirits provides not only an empathy with the world around him but also a great deal of comfort and sense of self. To solidify his years of experience, he also gained a Diploma in Classical and Cross-Cultural Shamanic Studies with the Four Gates Foundation.

With an emphasis on the practices of his Celtic heritage, Mark teaches empowering techniques in Shamanic Development as well as offering guidance on working with your spirit guides or how to make your own Shamanic Drum. Deep-rooted blockages and life problems can be explored and resolved during Shamanic Healing sessions.

In 2004 Mark discovered Reiki, a therapeutic form of energy channelling and healing that originated in Japan. Having studied the first two degrees, Mark then embarked on a two-year journey of personal discovery and graduated as a Master/Teacher in traditional Western and Japanese styles of Reiki. He is pleased to offer these teachings in whichever style is more suited to your requirements as well as providing continuous support and development in the form of workshops and opportunities to share Reiki with fellow students.

Mark is available for Reiki Healing treatments and can also arrange for healing energy to be sent at a distance without the need for face-to-face contact. He is a registered Master/teacher with the UK Reiki Federation and the Reiki Association.

Mark's chosen form of divination is the Tarot, a set of picture cards that can be used to provide guidance and advice for current and future situations. Mark offers readings as well as the opportunity to learn how to read the cards and then develop your intuitive and Tarot skills further.

Together with his mum, a fellow therapist, Mark owns and works from a therapy space and shop in Westcliff-on-Sea. He is constantly looking to expand his experience and is currently pursuing his interests in Taoism and Oriental medicine with a 3-year practitioner's course in Shiatsu, a form of body and energy work.

Mark's focus is on providing guidance, support and empowering tools. He is more than happy to hear from you and find out how he can help you to move forward!
