Hi and welcome to Contrary Wolf
My name is Scott Rothney and I offer Reiki and 1-1 guidance sessions, as a simple and grounded way of helping you to reconnect to your own inner wisdom, allowing you to guide yourself through times of change.
The core of what I offer comes from the belief that we have lost touch with who we are and that healing comes not only from remembering, but trusting that the answers to whatever we are seeking are within us and not found in the external, material world.
Contrary Wolf grew out of this belief, the Shamanic archetype of the wolf is a reminder to me to courageously go within, to look at and challenge limiting beliefs, to remain open to new ideas and encourage and support others to do the same in times of profound change.
Reiki National Occupational Standards (NOS) in the UK define the minimum competence, knowledge, and training standards for professional practitioners, covering client assessment, treatment planning, and safe practice.
You can view the NOS here (opens in new tab).
I am a member of the UK Reiki Federation and I am continuing my Reiki journey by working towards becoming Complimentary & National Healthcare Council (CNHC) certified.
I am fascinated by life, our human origins and particularly life beyond what we can experience with our 5 senses. In my 20’s this interest led me to the ancient art of Qigong and eventually Reiki. I bought my first book on Reiki, “Reiki For Life” by Penelope Quest and it sat on my bookshelf for about 20 years. Clearly at that time I wasn’t ready.
Fast forward to 2020 and unbidden, Reiki popped into my head, along with the certain knowledge that I needed to pursue it. Ever since then, through Reiki, Qigong, Shamanic teachings and mindfulness practices, I have been doing what in Shaman terms is called, ‘clearing the hollow bone’, deep inner work, an internal spring cleaning of old ego driven beliefs and negativity, to become a clearer channel for the flow of energy through the body.
This is not a journey with a destination, its a way of life, a daily practice, a choice to consciously co-create your own experience and to help others find their own unique path.
