About the Indigo Hut
About The Indigo Hut by its founder, Gail Holdsworth.
In addition to practising and teaching Reiki, I am also a qualified aromatherapist, reflexologist and Indian head massage therapist, working in Long Eaton, Nottingham.
In 1997 I graduated from the Open University with a B.Sc.(Hons) and Diploma in Applied Social Science. I had intended that to be the end of any studying but when my mother was ill in hospital later that year an aromatherapist at the hospital gave her a hand/arm massage. This gave my mother such comfort that I began my journey as a complementary therapist at that point and the studying continued. And still continues!
I have worked as a complementary therapist for over 12 years, and for nearly11 years have been part of the complementary therapy team at Treetops, a local hospice. The therapies that are offered there are Indian Head Massage, Reflexology, Reiki and Aromatherapy.
I have also taught OCN taster courses in aromatherapy, reflexology and massage at South East Derbyshire College in Ilkeston.
As well as teaching Reiki at all levels throughout the year, I run a Meditation workshop.
I have written an article about using Reiki in a hospice and this can be seen on www. reiki-evolution.co.uk.

- The Federation of Holistic Therapists
- The UK Reiki Federation
- The Complementary Therapists Association
