WHO ARE WE?

Profiles

Chris and Maggie met in 1996 when they trained as Reiki healers. Their journey in the field of helping people has been varied so they are able to offer a wealth of knowledge and techniques to individuals and organisations. They are also able to tap into a large network of other practitioners who can help people deal with stress.

They came together as Stress-Busting Angels in order to offer a complete package to individuals and organisations as dealing with stress is an ongoing task, not a quick fix technique of a stress management course.

Chris Guyon Has worked for over thirty years in the NHS as a ‘front-line’ worker in many different areas and knows first-hand what a stressful environment this can be. Wanting to help people led her to train as a Reiki healer and then as an EFT Practitioner. While living in Essex she worked for Thurrock Council providing Reiki de-stressing sessions for staff in the workplace under the ‘Healthy Together’ scheme which was so successful the Council won awards. Thurrock Primary Care Trust also invited her to de-stress staff in the workplace. Sessions were also requested by the staff at the Healthy Living Center, Carer’s Centre and a local GP surgery. Running a busy private practice gave her insight into the stresses that people can suffer from today and the experience of being able to lessen the effects.
As a Reiki Master she also runs courses on teaching Reiki so that clients can learn how to help themselves. She has been invited to give talks to Thurrock Business Club (of which she was a member until moving to Somerset), Retired St John’s Ambulance Brigade Members, Adult Education Centre (for Complementary Therapies course), Doctor’s seminar for heart patient’s and a Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards Centre to name but a few.
