A healer who walks
the path she teaches
I was first attuned to Reiki at ten years old and bring more than three decades of experience with energy work to my private women's healing space in Mitcham, Melbourne.

More than a practitioner.
A guide you can trust.
I was introduced to energy healing and attuned to Reiki at ten years old. That early experience began a lifelong journey with energy work and other holistic modalities, which I have continued to study and practise for more than three decades. Today, I am a certified Reiki Master Healer and Teacher in the Usui Reiki lineage.
Although naturally intuitive, I also have a strongly analytical nature. My own path has involved asking questions, looking for evidence, and learning to make room for experiences that cannot always be neatly explained. That balance keeps my work grounded: open to mystery, but never careless with a client's trust.
For me, healing is an experiential journey towards feeling calmer, more connected, and more loving towards yourself, even when external circumstances remain difficult. My sessions are unhurried and non-judgmental, with space to arrive fully, let go of expectations, and rest.
My clients span a wide range of backgrounds and experiences. Many come in during life transitions — navigating burnout, grief, relationship changes, health challenges, or that quiet but persistent sense that something is out of balance. Others simply come to maintain their wellbeing, returning monthly as a practice of self-care and energetic maintenance.
I am equally passionate about Reiki education, offering training from Reiki Level 1 through to Master Teacher level in the Usui tradition. I believe that the ability to work with life force energy is not reserved for a gifted few — it is a skill that can be learnt, refined, and shared, and I take great pride in supporting my students every step of the way.
"I invite you to let go of preconceived ideas about what is possible, and allow yourself to experience calm, connection, and loving healing."
This conviction — that healing is not something done to you, but something awakened within you — is not just a philosophy. It shapes every session I offer, every Reiki class I teach, and every conversation I hold with a client who arrives feeling lost, heavy, or simply depleted.
Gratitude is central to my own practice. I approach each session with respect for the small and unexpected moments that can help a person feel more whole, while remaining honest about what Reiki can and cannot offer.

The principles at the heart of this practice
Safety above all
Every woman who walks through the door deserves to feel completely safe, unhurried, and free from judgment. Nothing in a session happens without your knowledge and comfort.
Deep presence
I bring my full attention and intention to every session. You are not a booking on a calendar. You are a whole person, and you are treated as one.
Innate empowerment
The goal is never dependence on a practitioner. My work aims to reconnect you to your own inner wisdom — so that you leave feeling more yourself, not more reliant on others.
Honesty & care
I will always be honest with you about what Reiki can and cannot do. It works best as part of a holistic approach to wellbeing — and I will always encourage you to maintain your existing medical support.
The Usui Reiki tradition
I am trained in the Usui Reiki tradition — named for Mikao Usui, the Japanese Buddhist who is credited with developing the Reiki system in the early 20th century. The Usui tradition is the foundation from which most modern Reiki practices worldwide have grown.
As a Reiki Master Teacher, I hold the highest level of Reiki training — which means not only the ability to practise Reiki at the deepest level, but also the knowledge and authority to attune and teach others. This lineage, passed from teacher to student across generations, is part of what gives Reiki its integrity.
When you work with me — whether as a healing client or a student — you are connecting with a tradition that is both ancient in its roots and quietly powerful in its application.

"Shilpa is truly gifted and very intuitive. She patiently answered all my questions, made me feel comfortable, and was open to having honest and meaningful conversations throughout the process of distant healing. The sessions gave me a real sense of calm and clarity."
"Shilpa is amazing, and I thoroughly enjoyed my reiki session. It’s given me more clarity, plus a sense of ongoing calm. She is intuitive, warm and made me feel welcome and comfortable."
