About Penelope
I’m Penelope Silver, a Reiki Master, advanced EFT practitioner, certified meditation teacher and life purpose coach. For twenty years I’ve helped people put down what they’ve been quietly carrying. I see clients on Mondays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at One Inner Beauty Studio in Alderley Edge, and I hold small grief meditation evenings for women.
How I found this work
I found Reiki and EFT twenty years ago, when I left my marriage and felt completely broken. I had never heard of either. Together with meditation, they helped me heal, and they became the start of my spiritual path.
My philosophy
I don’t believe in fixing people, because I don’t believe people are broken. I believe in noticing. In softening. In giving whatever you’re carrying somewhere safe to be put down.
Underneath the roles, the expectations, the years of being what everyone else needed, there is a version of you that never left. All of my work is about coming home to her.
What I’m here for
My mission is preventative Reiki: supporting you to rest and reset before you reach burnout, not only after. I also walk alongside people at different stages of spiritual awakening, wherever you are on that path.
Full moon rituals
Every month I hold a full moon circle at Yoga Sangha in Cheadle, in a larger room that gives us space to settle. Each one follows the moon and the wheel of the year. I write a bespoke guided meditation for the evening, and the themes lead on from one another through the seasons.
We also make something with our hands. In November we’re making a beeswax candle, and recently we made fire cider. It’s a gentle way to be present in the moment and live each moon’s theme, instead of only thinking about it.
The human side of me
I’m 85% deaf. I’m autistic and I have ADHD, and I wasn’t diagnosed as a child. I’m in perimenopause, and Reiki is part of how I look after myself through it. I carry grief too, from my childhood, from not being understood, and from losing my mum this year. I share this because I know what it’s like to feel different, and I’d like you to feel at ease with me.
How I work with energy
I’m highly intuitive, and that guides every session.
-
Clairvoyance means I see energy, sometimes as colours, patterns, images or flashes.
-
Clairsentience means I feel energy. I might feel a blockage in your body, or sense that you need more grounding.
I notice where the energy is coming from: up through my feet, in through my head or from my heart. Sometimes spirits make themselves known to me as a shiver through my body. In my experience, a shiver on my right side is a male presence and on my left side a female one. I share what I notice gently, and you can take from it whatever feels true for you.
