About Liz Allan and Inner Wisdom
I’m Liz Allan, founder of Inner Wisdom. I believe every woman carries an inner wisdom of her own, though it can be hard to hear beneath the demands of everyday life, other people’s expectations, and the pressure to be who we think we should be.
For many years, I worked in the corporate world as a business improvement consultant. I helped organisations and the people within them work more effectively and navigate change.
Yet beneath the processes and practical improvements, I was always most interested in people: how they were, what they needed, and what was getting in their way.
In time, that same curiosity turned inward. With support from mentors and healers, I began to look honestly at my own life: the overworking, the self-criticism, the expectations I was trying to meet, and the mask I had learned to wear over who I really was.
This period of listening, unlearning, and rediscovery helped me reconnect with intuitive gifts that had been with me since childhood but that I hadn’t fully remembered or understood.
I know what it is like to lose touch with yourself while trying to keep going, achieve more, and live up to an idea of who you are meant to be. I also know how meaningful it can be to stop, turn inward, and begin finding your way back.
That experience is at the heart of Inner Wisdom. I created this practice for women who may be exhausted from carrying too much, disconnected from themselves, or questioning who they are beneath their roles and responsibilities. My intention is to offer a calm, supportive space in which you can slow down, reconnect with yourself, and begin to recognise what is true for you.
My approach to energy healing
I am an intuitive energy healer, and I use Reiki, Angelic Reiki and Crystal Healing as part of my work. These trained, recognised practices provide a foundation for each session, but I do not follow a fixed formula. Guidance comes through as I work with you, in response to what you need in that moment. It may lead me towards Reiki, Crystal Healing, or a combination of both.
This does not mean that other practitioners do not work intuitively or receive guidance. What makes my approach distinctive is the central place in-session guidance holds. Rather than using Reiki or crystals in isolation, I listen to what arises during our time together and allow that guidance to shape the context, focus, and flow of your session.
Some people know Reiki, some know Crystal Healing, and some have never come across either. You don’t need to know anything beforehand. I’ll explain what feels relevant as we go, and the session is shaped by what you need on the day rather than by a set routine.
Who this practice is for
Inner Wisdom is a one-to-one practice for women who feel overextended, disconnected from themselves, or ready to understand who they are beneath the roles, responsibilities, and expectations they carry. I offer a private, supportive space in a dedicated treatment room at my home in Caversham, near Reading.
Sessions are never rushed. I make sure we have plenty of time to settle in, talk about what has brought you to me, and work together at a pace that feels comfortable.
What to expect
Before your first session, you will receive a short, confidential intake form. This helps me understand what has been happening for you and what you would like support with. It gives us a helpful starting point while ensuring that you remain in control of what you choose to share.
You do not need to remember everything we discuss. After the session, I will send you a personalised follow-up report that brings together the themes we spoke about or touched on, any guidance I received during our work, and supportive suggestions or possible first steps for you to consider. The report gives you something clear to return to when you are ready.
I will also provide an aftercare guide explaining what you may notice after a session, if anything, and the simple steps you can follow.
Qualifications, insurance and professional standards
I am a qualified Usui Reiki Practitioner and an Angelic Reiki Practitioner trained with the Angelic Reiki Association. I am also a fully qualified Crystal Healer, holding the Diploma in the Art of Crystal Healing from the British Academy of Crystal Healing (BACH), an FHT and IPHM-accredited course.
I am fully insured, and my code of ethics follows the framework set out by the Federation of Holistic Therapists (FHT). You can find my policies and code of ethics on the Policies page.
I maintain clear professional boundaries and will always be honest about what these complementary practices can and cannot offer. These are complementary practices, not a substitute for medical or mental health care.
Why this work matters to me
I don’t believe healing is something I do to you. My role is to hold a safe, honest, and unhurried space; to offer my experience and intuitive guidance with care and integrity; and to support you as you reconnect with your own inner wisdom.
This work matters to me because I know what it is like to lose touch with yourself beneath overwork, self-criticism, expectations, and the need to appear as though everything is fine. I want to support other women as they come back to themselves, discover who they are, and begin to trust what they already know. My hope is that you leave feeling more grounded, more connected to yourself, and clearer about your next steps
