Stephen’s Story: Four Swans Therapy and Wellness Centre My Path to Holistic Therapies
Many people who find their way into holistic therapies do so through deeply personal
journeys, and my story is no exception. My own path began in 2012 after a life-changing
workplace accident that marked a turning point and opened an entirely new world of
healing for me. Through this experience, I was introduced to new ways of thinking and
being. Concepts such as “energy,” “alignment,” and “self-healing” became part of my
daily life, showing me just how profoundly we can support both ourselves and one
another along the healing journey.
Discovering Reiki
The first healing modality that truly resonated with me was Reiki. This practice offers
individuals the opportunity to connect on a much deeper level, providing a sanctuary
from the noise and demands of everyday life. Even when it feels as if you are simply
resting, Reiki allows for profound inner work to take place gently and safely. As
practitioners, we serve as conduits—facilitating your reconnection with your innate ability
to heal.
The Power of Crystals
Another significant aspect of my practice involves working with crystals. These ancient
gemstones, formed over millions of years by the Earth’s shifting forces, each possess a
unique frequency and vibration. When incorporated into a healing session, crystals can
amplify and enrich the experience for both the client and the practitioner. I have found
that crystals consistently add something special to sessions, and I am always delighted
to offer them as part of the healing process.
Holistic Massage for Balance
For those seeking a nurturing and restorative experience, Holistic Massage is a
wonderful way to bring balance to your mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-
being. These sessions provide dedicated time for you to unwind in a safe and gentle
space, allowing for reconnection with your body and mind.
Access Bars
I also offer Access Bars, a subtle yet powerful technique that involves gently touching
specific points on the head, known as “bars.” Each of these points corresponds to
different areas of life, such as money, joy, and communication. This process helps clear
mental clutter, encourages greater awareness, and invites more ease and fulfillment into
everyday living.
Rahanni Celestial Healing
Rahanni Celestial Healing is a gentle yet powerful energy modality that works on a
vibration of pure love and compassion, helping to release fear-based thoughts,
emotional imbalances, and energetic blockages while bringing peace, harmony, and
balance to mind, body, and spirit. It connects deeply with the heart center, encouraging
forgiveness, inner healing, and a shift into higher consciousness. Guided by the
Archangels—Michael for protection, Raphael for healing, Gabriel for clarity, Uriel for
wisdom, and Chamuel for unconditional love—Rahanni opens the pathway to living more
fully from the heart, leaving you with a sense of lightness, calm, and renewed clarity.
Shamanic Practitioner Journey
I have recently qualified as a Shamanic Practitioner, trained in both ancient and modern
shamanic traditions. As a practitioner, I serve as a bridge between the physical and
spiritual realms, working closely with spirit guides, power animals, and the natural
energies that surround us. Through these connections, I help facilitate balance,
guidance, and transformation for those seeking support. For example, in a soul retrieval
session, I might use rhythmic drumming to enter a meditative state, journeying on behalf
of a client to recover lost or fragmented aspects of themselves. This often brings a sense
of renewed wholeness and vitality. In other cases, I may perform energy clearing—gently
removing stagnant or negative influences from your energy field—to promote feelings of
lightness and clarity. Additionally, I often draw on the wisdom of the elements and
ancestors, inviting their strength and insight to support your healing journey. Whether it’s
through a drum journey to gain personal guidance, connecting with a power animal for
protection, or honoring ancestral wisdom for grounding, these shamanic practices are
intended to encourage healing, nurture personal growth, and deepen your relationship
with both your heritage and the natural world.
My Purpose
The guiding principle behind all my work is simple: To hold a safe and compassionate
space where you can relax, release what no longer serves you, and rediscover the
wholeness that has always been within you.
