Glen first realised he could communicate with spirit at a very young age. Whilst growing up in Woodford Essex, he began communicating with a spirit named Kim. Kim would provide Glen with amazing physical evidence by writing her name on walls in is home. Glen then realised his passion lay with teaching and trained to be a primary school teacher. His natural mediumship skills and took on further development at the Arthur Findlay College in Stansted, Essex.

David has been actively involved with the world of Spirit for over 11 years. After joining his first development circle in Camberley, Surrey his desire to learn and grow has continued to this present day.

David initially trained as a Microsoft trainer for a large insurance company in the city of London, but soon realised that his calling lay elsewhere. When he moved to Essex from Surrey in 2001 he joined another development group and then took courses in Holistic Therapies including Reiki, Spiritual Healing and Regression Therapies.

David communicates with spirit via his guide Uni. Working closely with such a high energy gives David a unique ability to understand and teach higher spiritual lessons to members of the development circles Teaching Therapies run.

Although deeply committed to teaching Reiki & providing Reiki treatments in the traditional Japanese method, by being able to blend with his spirit guides higher energies, David is able to provide powerful and effective treatments.

In March 2007, David & Glen became official Civil Partners, and followed this with a spiritual Hand Fasting Ceremony which was held in Florida in October 2007, both cementing their physical and spiritual unity.
