Ruth has taken the Native name of "Healing Heron" after the characteristics of her totem bird - heron.

Herons enjoy their own company. It is rare to see them flocking together, except in small groups. People with this power animal are independent and open to change whenever necessary. They often follow non-traditional roles and don’t feel the need to keep up with the jones’. Herons know how to take advantage of even the slightest opportunity. They are careful watchers and are very patient.

The heron and egret have a strong connection to the Earth element and those with this power animal must be aware and cultivate this connection. Mother Earth is a source of strength and will help you stand firm and strong.

This bird offers the gift of balance, allowing you to perform many tasks at the same time, keeping all in balance. If one way doesn't work, then another way will, heron and egret people instinctively seem to know this. Meditation on colour will provide insight.

The heron traits bring a balance and a keen sense of energy flow to Reiki treatments given by Ruth. She is grounded to the Earth energy and will focus that energy to those who need support and grounding.

Dianne has taken the Native name of "Calming Crow" after her totem bird - crow.

Many cultures consider crows to be the keepers of the Sacred Law, for nothing escapes their keen sight. To have a Crow as a power animal is extremely powerful stuff.

Crows often appear in groups, and though there seems to be no variation in their caw-ing to each other, each caw actually has a different meaning. Their complex vocabulary is one sign of their intelligence, and is also a sign of their significance as power animals.  They often make great noise when hunters are around, warning others. Crows easily recognise potential danger. 

Crow can also teach us to be mindful about judging people automatically. Be mindful of your opinions and actions. You need to walk your talk, to speak your truth and to know your life's mission. Again, trust your intuition and personal integrity, to create your own standards, whether or not they match those of the world around you. Be an individual, think for yourself, don't necessarily follow the crowd!

Crow is an omen of change and often are messengers. As crows are adaptable to all environments and can survive in almost any situation. Crow is surrounded by spiritual strength. If crow enters your life, get out of your familiar nest, look beyond your present range of vision, listen to the message(s) in its caw and act accordingly.

With her Crow characteristics, Dianne brings a deep wisdom and mindfulness to her Reiki treatments. She will listen carefully to the message of the energy flow and ward off any negatitivity surrounding you.
