A new wellness space has opened its doors on the edge of the city centre 

The Healing Nest is led by 30-year-old practitioner Danielle Lukes, who discovered Reiki during a difficult period in her life. After experiencing the benefits first-hand, she went on to train extensively and is now bringing the practice to others.

Reiki is a gentle Japanese technique focused on relaxation and reducing stress. Practitioners place their hands on or just above the body to support the flow of energy and encourage the body’s natural ability to rebalance. It’s often used to ease anxiety, grief and emotional overwhelm, and is becoming increasingly common in hospital settings to support patients’ wellbeing.

Danielle says Reiki gave her clarity and calm when she needed it most, inspiring her to create a peaceful, confidential space where anyone can take time to reset. The Healing Nest welcomes clients of all ages, including children, students, busy parents and those navigating grief or burnout.

The Secret Meadow, which opened in Vauxhall earlier this year, brings together a range of holistic services under one roof. Also based there is Soulful Serenity, offering trauma-informed hypnotherapy, massage and meditation workshops.

A trained Usui Reiki practitioner, Danielle has built The Healing Nest around a simple idea: a little space for inner peace.

She says taking time to slow down is becoming harder than ever in the fast pace of modern life, and hopes her studio will give people the chance to reconnect with themselves.

The Healing Nest is located inside The Secret Meadow at 22 Cotton Street, Liverpool.
