Lesley Batten

Complementary Therapist and Teacher

My journey into the world of Complementary Therapies began in 2004 when, after a year of personal emotional trauma, I was persuaded by a friend to take a short course at Grantham College which included introduction to a variety of therapies. At the same time, I was also studying for a Diploma in Anatomy and Physiology to enable me to take a Swedish Massage course and, during this, I made a new friend who told me about the benefits of Reiki and how it had changed her life.

I was fascinated by this and wanted to find out more so, in November 2004, I was attuned to Reiki Degree One and began my journey. Reiki Degree Two followed in February 2005 and, after practising on many, very patient, friends and relatives, I was approved by my Reiki Master, enabling me to be a practitioner. In early August 2005, I received my Reiki Masters attunement, allowing me to give far more effective treatments during Reiki sessions.

In February 2006 I completed the Reiki teaching course, enabling me to attune people to Reiki and I am now able to hold teaching sessions. To enhance my teaching, I have recently completed the City and Guilds 7302 Certificate in Delivering Learning. If you are interested in learning Thermo Auricular Therapy or Reiki and experiencing the benefits they can bring, please contact me, either by email or telephone.

I have also completed studies in Body Massage, Indian Head Massage, Japanese Hand Massage, Thai Foot Massage, Eastern Facial Massage, Thermo Auricular Therapy (Hopi Ear Candling), Reflexology and Hot and Cold Stone Therapy, and am able to offer these to clients.

Another exciting development has been training in Trigger Point Therapy for Temporomandibular Joint Disorder. To find out more, click on the TMJ page.

As well as offering a mobile service I have access to a treatment room within Sleaford town centre should clients prefer their treatments away from the home environment.

I am working towards becoming a practitioner in Earth Healing, so if you are interested in learning more about this, please feel free to contact me.

Member of the Complementary Therapists Association and Reiki Healers and Teachers Society and insured for all therapy treatments and teaching.
