Meet Sammie
I'm Sammie Horwitz. I help people find their way back to feeling settled, safe, grounded, and properly recovered through deep relaxation - the way your nervous system is meant to rest but often doesn't.
For twenty-five years I lived at the other end of that, in corporate life, running on a mind that never quite switched off, until I burnt out. Reiki was where it started to come back, steady and unhurried, giving my body permission to stop bracing. Sound came later, and its impact was profound; for a mind like mine it was the first kind of stillness that didn't ask me to try.
What I hold at the centre of this work is a simple belief: that we are energy, every cell of us alive with it. When we settle into a higher, clearer vibration, the body and mind reconnect, and a more grounded version of ourselves comes back within reach. Sound and energy healing are the way I've found to open that door, and to hold it open for someone else.

New to this, or not sure which session is right? Begin with a relaxed, no-pressure chat. We'll talk through what's drawing you in, anything I should be mindful of, and what might suit you best. No commitment - just a gentle first step.
A small, personal practice - only a handful of one-to-one spaces open each week.
A calming, hands-on (or hands-near) energy session to help you soften and settle. You stay fully clothed and comfortable while I work gently to ease tension and invite a sense of balance and deep relaxation. Many people leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more at home in themselves.
A one-to-one sound bath shaped entirely around you. You rest, fully supported, while I weave bowls and gentle tones around the room. There's nothing to do and nowhere to be - just lie back, let the sound hold you, and drop into deep rest. A beautiful way to release tension, quieten a busy mind, and reconnect with yourself.
The stillness of Reiki met with the resonance of sound. This longer session blends gentle energy work with singing bowls and tuning forks, layering touch and tone to guide you into a profoundly restful state. Ideal when you want to truly slow down and give yourself the fullest reset.
A group sound bath for up to 10 people, held in Notting Hill. You rest, fully supported, while I weave singing bowls and gentle tones around the room. There's nothing to do and nowhere to be - just lie back, let the sound hold you, and drop into deep rest. A beautiful way to release tension, quieten a busy mind, and share an hour of stillness with others.
Three Reiki sessions to return to, softening tension and building a steady sense of balance over time.

What to expect
No preparation needed - simply arrive as you are.
We begin with a warm welcome and a short, unhurried conversation about how you're feeling and what you'd like from your time.
Fully supported and comfortable, you relax while the session unfolds around you. There's nothing to do but let go.
We ease back slowly, with a moment to ground yourself and a quiet cup of tea before you step back into your day.
Kind words
A few reflections from those who have rested here - shared on Trustpilot.
As someone who held doubt and struggled to comprehend the practice and its healing potential, I feel transformed. Sammie has a wonderful ability to make you feel safe, at ease and grounded almost immediately. Her own energy is welcoming and positive. Can't recommend her highly enough.
This was my first Reiki experience and I wasn't too sure what to expect, but I felt so relaxed from the very beginning. Sammie has such a lovely aura - it comes across. I loved the combination with the sounds. I slept like a baby last night. Thank you, Sammie!
My Reiki with Sammie was a great experience. This was only my second session and I felt totally at ease with her straight away; she held the space beautifully. Couldn't recommend her more - I've already noticed an emotional release afterwards.
Sammie came to my home for a session and it was wonderfully relaxing. She has such a calm, warm presence and put me at ease straight away. I drifted into deep relaxation quickly and finished feeling completely reset.
I'd never had a Reiki session and, being someone who finds it very hard to switch off, wasn't convinced I'd relax. From the moment Sammie arrived she put me at ease - the most calm, gentle presence. By the end I felt noticeably lighter, calmer and more grounded. One of the few times I've truly slowed down in a very long time.
Had a beautiful Reiki session with Sammie. She was so professional and made me feel calm, tapping into a peace of mind that felt so healing. Would definitely recommend, and will be seeing her regularly.

Policies
A little clarity, so we can both relax into the work.
Packages are valid for three months from the date of purchase. You're welcome to book your sessions in whenever suits you within that window; any sessions not used within three months will expire.
We operate a strict 24-hour cancellation policy.
Should you need to cancel, we'll be happy to rearrange your session - provided you give us more than 24 hours' notice.
No refunds will be made for any session cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice.
Why we ask. Each session is time held just for you. With more than a day's notice we can offer that space to someone else; under 24 hours, we can't, which is why the policy is firm.
Thank you for understanding, and for respecting the space.
If you arrive late, we'll do our best to give you the fullest session we can, but we may need to finish at the scheduled time out of respect for what follows. The full fee still applies.
Sessions and packages are booked and paid for through our secure booking system. Your place is confirmed once payment is received.
Reiki and sound healing are deeply relaxing and restorative, but they are not a substitute for medical, psychological or other professional care. Please let us know in advance of anything that may be relevant - for example pregnancy, epilepsy, a pacemaker, or recent surgery - so we can adapt the session or advise accordingly.
Spaces at group sound baths are limited and held on a first-come basis. The cancellation policy above applies to group bookings.
