Authentic Soul

Hi, I'm Oz — Reiki Master Practitioner, Teacher, Holistic Counsellor, and Grief & Bereavement Counsellor  based in Lynbrook, Melbourne's South East. I've been doing this work for 30 years.

I work with people of all walks of life. My work takes a few different forms: pure Reiki healing rooted in the traditional Usui method for those who simply want stillness and energy; Reiki woven together with intuitive, facilitated conversation for those who want to talk things through as part of the energy work itself; and separate, dedicated Holistic Counselling sessions — held in person in a sacred space, with online sessions also available for those who can't make it in — for those seeking deeper talk-based support on its own. Whether you're carrying something heavy — grief, stuck relationships, a life that no longer fits — or just want stillness, there's no wrong way to arrive here.

My approach

When you come here carrying something heavy, we start by simply letting you speak — really speak, in a space where nothing is judged or rushed.

From there, something begins to open. Together we gently explore what sits beneath the surface — the patterns and stories the mind has been holding as truth — until you can hear your own voice more clearly. Depending on what's present in the moment, this may also include breathwork, grounding practices, tuning fork work, or other facilitation techniques — always guided by what the session calls for, never a fixed formula. 

This isn't advice, and it isn't analysis. It's facilitation: helping you shift what sits beneath the limited mind, so what's real in you can rise. If you'd rather come in for pure Reiki instead — no words, just stillness and energy — that's just as welcome.

Sessions are hands-on and guided entirely by what arises in the room. My mission is simple: for you to be so heard, you can finally hear yourself.

My story

Over three decades, I've sat with people at some of the hardest and most tender moments of their lives. What I've learned, again and again, is that people don't need to be fixed — they need to be heard, fully, without an agenda pulling them somewhere else. Much of what I do is bring what's unconscious into conscious awareness — facilitating different perspectives so something can spark, shift, or simply make sense in a new way. That's always been at the heart of how I work.
