Reiki Master Teacher, NLP Counsellor, Life Coach and Holistic Therapist
Anne Bila has been working in holistic health and wellness for over 15 years. Her background is broader than most practitioners you will meet: a career in management consulting gave her a rigorous, analytical approach to problem-solving; a parallel and deepening commitment to energy healing and personal development gave her the sensitivity and compassion to sit with people in genuine difficulty. She brings both to every client she works with.
Anne is a member of the UK Reiki Federation and holds degrees in both Usui Reiki and Holy Fire Reiki. She is a Reiki Master Teacher and Master Practitioner, which means she not only delivers treatments at the highest level of practice but trains and develops other Reiki practitioners. She is also a qualified NLP Counsellor, Life Coach, Mediator, and Mindfulness and Meditation Teacher, a Neal’s Yard Remedies organic independent consultant, and facilitates health retreat days and workshops alongside her one-to-one practice.
Reiki Treatments
Reiki is a gentle, non-invasive energy therapy with roots in Japanese healing tradition, developed in the late nineteenth century by Dr Mikao Usui. It works on the principle that life force energy flows through and around the body, and that when this flow is disrupted or blocked, physical and emotional difficulties follow. During a session Anne channels healing energy through light hand contact or hands held just above the body, encouraging the release of energetic blockages and supporting the body’s own capacity to restore balance.
In physiological terms, Reiki supports the shift from sympathetic nervous system dominance into the parasympathetic state in which genuine rest and recovery become possible. The practical effects are wide-ranging: reduced cortisol, improved sleep, eased muscular tension and a more settled emotional state. Reiki is recognised as a complementary therapy by the NHS and works effectively alongside conventional medical treatment.
Anne’s reiki sessions are commonly sought for chronic stress, anxiety and burnout, emotional fatigue and grief, sleep difficulties rooted in nervous system dysregulation, pain and tension with a significant stress component, low energy and a persistent sense of being depleted, and supporting recovery from illness alongside medical care.
Reiki Training
Anne offers Reiki training for individuals and groups at First Degree, Second Degree and Master level. Learning Reiki is not only a clinical skill: it is a practice that deepens self-awareness and opens a lasting pathway to personal healing and development. Please get in touch directly for course details and availability.
Anne has written across all of her areas of practice. On the reiki side, her articles on what reiki is and what the evidence says, reiki and the nervous system, burnout, anxiety and energy healing and when conventional treatment is not enough provide a grounded and honest foundation for new patients. On the counselling and coaching side, her pieces on when to see a counsellor, what NLP counselling is, grief, therapy vs life coaching, why smart people stay stuck, career change and what a life coach actually does cover the questions her coaching and counselling clients most commonly bring to a first session. Her article on the physical cost of emotional stress connects these disciplines to the wider Hever Health offering.
Counselling and Life Coaching
Alongside her energy healing practice, Anne works as an NLP Counsellor and Life Coach, supporting clients through therapeutic exploration and forward-focused personal development. Whether you are looking for a space to process what you are carrying or the structure and accountability to move towards something new, Anne’s breadth of training allows her to meet you where you are and work with you in the way that is most likely to help.
