About The Happy Mind Studio
James Graydon-Rhodes
Founder | Reiki Master Teacher | Wellbeing Practitioner
Welcome to The Happy Mind Studio. I'm James, and I'm passionate about helping people reconnect with themselves, discover greater balance and make time for their wellbeing.
With over 20 years of professional experience across the corporate, private and wellbeing sectors, and more than 25 years of Reiki experience, my work brings together traditional practices, professional knowledge and a genuine commitment to helping others.
Through treatments, professional training, mindfulness education and community initiatives, I aim to create opportunities for people to relax, learn and develop their own personal wellbeing.
Discover My JourneyA Passion for People, Wellbeing and Personal Growth
My journey into holistic wellbeing began with a fascination for the connection between mind, body and our overall sense of balance.
My Reiki journey began in 1999, and over the years this has developed into a lifelong passion for traditional Japanese Reiki, mindfulness meditation and holistic therapies.
My professional experience in corporate management, business development, education, and community work has also shaped the way I approach my practice today.
I understand the pressures of everyday life and the importance of having somewhere to pause, breathe and recharge.
Today, through The Happy Mind Studio, I bring these experiences together to offer individual treatments, professional training, workshops and educational opportunities.

A Reiki Journey Spanning Over 25 Years
My personal Reiki journey began in 1999. Since then, Reiki has become an important part of both my personal development and professional life.
As a Reiki Master Teacher with over 25 years of experience, I am passionate about sharing the practice and traditional teachings of Reiki with others.
My teaching is rooted in traditional Japanese Reiki principles, with an emphasis on understanding the foundations of the practice rather than simply learning techniques.
I am affiliated with Reiki Evolution and offer structured training for students wishing to develop their personal practice or progress towards teaching.

Making a Difference Beyond the Studio
Community has always been an important part of my work. Alongside my wellbeing practice, I am involved in community development and initiatives that support people locally.

I am proud to support partnerships that help make wellbeing services more accessible to the wider community.
The Happy Mind Studio is proud to be associated with local wellbeing initiatives and partnerships, including SWELL Enniskillen and Return to Play Sports Medicine.
"Relax, Rejuvenate & Recharge."
I believe that taking time for ourselves is not a luxury. It is an important part of living a balanced and meaningful life.
Whether you visit for a treatment, attend a Reiki training course, join a mindfulness session or explore the Academy, my aim is to provide an experience that encourages learning, connection and personal wellbeing.
