SPIRITUAL healing is on the cards as part of a Locking man’s new business.

Andy Driver said he was inspired to start up his new business, Flying With Wings, after his recovery from alcoholism and now offers a range of services, from Buddhist reiki healing and hypnotherapy to help smokers and drinkers quit, to spiritual inquiries.

The 42-year-old was an alcoholic and had suffered with health problems linked to his drinking until two years ago, when he says he had a moment of ‘clarity’ and stopped drinking for good – an experience he says now enables him to help people in a variety of different ways.

He said: “I’ve gone through a massive transformation from sitting in an alleyway with a bottle of vodka to complete clarity.

“I now want to be able to help other people out and so that is why I have set up this business.”

He is offering his services at clients’ homes, at his own home in Anson Road, Flowerdown or out in the great outdoors – wherever clients wish.

Reiki is a form of complementary therapy whereby Mr Driver says he can transfer universal energy to the client, allowing for self-healing.
