Discover how Reiki can help you with a tailored treatment from Beautiful Reiki by Bella

Bella is an intuitive and psychic Usui Reiki Master offering a tailored treatment. Whether you require help with your emotional and mental well being; wish to enhance spirituality, peace and balance; or assist the physical body during a short or long term illness alongside medical treatment, Bella can help facilitate self-healing and energy flow where required.

Bella works with Usui Reiki energy through the chakras and aura, using her intuition and personalised intention for you. She works with light or soft touch and is respectful of boundaries and all clients’ needs. The overall experience is enjoyable and some clients have seen colours or visuals, experience a floating or out of body type feeling, energy moving within the body or sense “helping hands”, a phenomena of more than two hands working on your energy body at the same time. Bella uses her intuition, psychic clair gifts and empathic skills to guide her throughout. Talking through what comes up in the session can help you understand the root cause for any experiences in your life and may help guide you or assist in your spiritual or healing journey.

Bella’s work with nature, plants and the elemental world gives her a gentle focus and believes her connection to Spirit assists her practice on the aura and energy. For a 360 approach to your healing journey why not try a 360 Healing Appointment that includes a Tarot & Oracle reading and/or a Mediumship connecting to a loved one alongside a Reiki appointment? These sessions will allow you to broaden your understanding of yourself and the magic and beauty of Spirit and Source and a deeper healing and connection during Reiki energy work. Clients leave these appointments feeling lighter and happier with a bounce in their step and wonder in their eyes.

Our clinic is fully equipped with Lynton Lasers, trusted by the NHS and dermatology specialists across the UK. Every treatment is backed by science, delivered with precision, and tailored to your unique skin needs.

Our Specialist Laser & IPL Systems

Q-Switch Laser – Advanced Tattoo Removal

Our Q-Switch laser breaks down unwanted tattoo pigment safely and effectively, suitable for all skin types and a wide range of ink colours.

Lynton IPL Systems – Targeted, Intelligent Light Technology

We offer two specialist IPL wavelengths, designed to treat a wide range of skin concerns safely and effectively:

585 nm – Vascular, Pigmentation & Acne Control

The 585 nm wavelength is highly absorbed by haemoglobin and porphyrins, making it exceptionally effective for:

• Facial redness and rosacea
• Broken capillaries (telangiectasia)
• Vascular lesions
• Pigmented lesions
• Inflammatory acne

This wavelength offers precise, targeted treatment, ideal for clients wanting clearer, calmer, healthier-looking skin.

635 nm – Vascular & Pigmentation Treatment With Deeper Reach

Our 635 nm IPL setting offers:

• Effective clearing of vascular and pigmented lesions
• Deeper penetration due to a broader light spectrum
• Variable pulse durations for safe, customisable treatments

This wavelength allows us to treat concerns at different depths with precision, adjusting settings to suit your skin type — including more sensitive or higher Fitzpatrick skin tones.

Hair Removal for Darker Skin (Fitzpatrick IV–V)

We specialise in treating darker skin safely using technology designed to protect melanin-rich skin while delivering long-term reduction.

Er:YAG Fractional Laser – Texture, Scars & Resurfacing

Our fractional Er:YAG laser stimulates collagen and resurfaces the skin to improve:

• Fine lines
• Acne scars
• Enlarged pores
• Texture irregularities

ONDA Body Sculpting – Fat Reduction & Skin Tightening

Using Coolwaves™ microwave technology, ONDA reduces stubborn fat, smooths cellulite, and tightens skin — comfortable, non-invasive, and clinically proven.
