Margaret Cook

I am a Reiki Master and a Personal Development Coach. I work with healing energy and give therapy treatments to enhance well-being. I first trained in 2005 and this is when I started teaching reiki and giving healing sessions.

I retrained in 2009 with Penelope Quest, who is an international author of several best-selling reiki books. She only taught a couple of reiki courses each year as she was so busy writing. I couldn't wait to enrol on her next course, where I learnt many of the traditional Japanese methods of reiki healing.

Previously, I was a business studies lecturer for 13 years and I was also a mentor for the Princes' Trust, helping others to develop their skills into a full-time business. Currently I coach my own students in the area of personal development such as goal setting, managing emotions and building confidence.

In my teaching I am always delighted to share my knowledge and experiences of reiki and personal development and my students come from all over the UK.

When I am not working I enjoy singing, reading and I have been learning Italian for a couple of years.
