About Me

Whatever may have led you here today, I welcome you with light and love.
I’m Lorraine, the founder of Raine Healing and Wellness.

The reality is, life brings its own set of ebbs and flows for each of us, like the tides we have moments of challenges and triumphs, shaping us into the resilient individuals we are meant to be.

What do we do to maintain that feeling of being well and above all else what do we do
when we don’t feel well within ourselves, be it physical, emotional or both?

I've always held the belief that the body, mind and spirit can be healed holistically. This being the Eastern way of treating medical diagnoses, and was influenced early on from my travels to Thailand and India where yoga, herbal and Ayurvedic medicine are the norm. A seed was planted and my journey to healing and wellness began.

I was naturally drawn to Reiki, firstly receiving treatments as a client, then following training 25 years ago, at a time when I was fully immersed in my career, working in the corporate world. Around that time I was diagnosed with gynaecological issues, which caused deep physical pain and a decline in mental health. After being told by the gynecologist I wouldn’t be able to have children, I was devastated. This encouraged me towards a journey of deeper learning and study about natural healing remedies surrounding women's health, including alternative practices such as acupuncture, reflexology, nutrition, plant medicine and somatic movement, Then serendipity played its role and I was sent on a 10 day press trip to a yoga and meditation retreat for work purposes, which happened to include juicing and Reiki. 

This came to be a significant turning point in my life as four weeks after the trip I was feeling nauseous and a close friend suggested I could be pregnant. Being 31 years old, what I'd been told by the doctor back then had stuck in my mind and body for 10 years. Sure enough, I came to find out I was pregnant. It felt like a miracle, but I believe that my encounters with alternative healing over those years allowed this shift, by releasing blockages.

During motherhood came a painful time of separation and grief, whilst I was still working in the corporate world and bringing up two children on my own, I started to subconsciously cut off my emotional openness, vulnerability and empathy to survive the daily grind. The fatigue and pain became debilitating and I felt disconnected from who I was. After months of testing, and referrals, the rheumatolgost diagnosed me with Fibromyalgia, just before the pandemic hit.
At the worst point of the condition, I knew I had to reconnect to healing and wellness once again – rather than prescribed drugs – building on the knowledge and experiences I had built on over the years and with my own research. I began to go deeper and heal gradually with self-reiki and meditation practice.

I had reached a time in life, where the universe had aligned and I sensed this was the right time to pursue Reiki further and I decided to study, retrain and qualify as a Level 2 Reiki Practitioner with the Maya Centre in London. I came away with a passion to heal those around me. Grateful for case studies to expand my learning and practice, I have naturally acquired the ritual of cultivating a nurturing, safe space for individuals to begin their healing journey towards a higher self through balancing and shifting energy. 

The many steps taken during those times, had naturally led the way on my path into
healing and wellness and for that I am forever grateful.

I now know that my true life’s purpose is to inspire and support others, who need an energy reset or could be struggling with their own mental health, in reconnecting, promoting balance and finding their inner peace through Reiki.

With Light + Love
