Chris Colgan

Chris Colgan is a rising star in the alternative field and has been featured in numerous magazines and newspapers including Time Out, Spirit & Destiny, The Mail on Sunday, Here's Health, The Times and The Guardian. He is also in discussions re TV work and is about to launch his own website.

Chris has been a Reiki Master since 1998 and regularly teaches Reiki and other energy healing processes. He runs meditation classes, Life Purpose and Space Clearing workshops and also offers one-to-one healing and empowerment sessions - but it is his innovative work "space clearing" people's homes and workplaces that has caught the interest of the media.

He says: "I am passionate about working with the energy in people's homes and workplaces, helping them to identify and change things around them that are responsible for holding them back. I am convinced that buildings and possessions act like hard drives in computers by storing an energetic imprint of past events and of connections that we have had with people in our lives."

Chris comes to the alternative field bringing with him 20 years business experience and a proven track record in the corporate world. Before launching his current business he was Director of Customer Relationship Management for an international telecommunications and internet services provider. His practical business background means he brings with him a level-headed, no-nonsense approach to the work he now does which in many ways separates him from the 'New Age' crowd. His work draws on a number of spiritual influences but is firmly grounded in common sense.

In December 2000 Chris went on a spiritual trip to Sedona in the Arizona desert, USA, lead by best-selling author Caroline Reynolds and was so inspired that on his return he resigned from his corporate job, giving up a six-figure salary to follow his passion. He felt drawn to start his own business and to work with people on a much deeper level. By April 2001 he was back in Arizona to do a vision quest, a native rite of passage, which involves spending two days and one night alone in the desert, in a stone-circle with only a sleeping bag, a journal and water. A week later he started assisting Caroline Reynolds in leading vision quest groups in Sedona and by the following May he was running his own. He began by leading a men only vision quest, which included hiring Harley Davidson motorcycles and riding to the Grand Canyon. The vision quest is a fast-track life-changing experience and a regular part of Chris's work.

Chris is 41 years old and has a nine-year-old son. He lives in Croydon, Surrey but his work takes him all over the UK and to the USA.
