Vickie Biggs opens The Dream Of wellness studio in east London offering Reiki and alternative therapies

other · 2026-04-22

Vickie Biggs has launched The Dream Of, a wellness studio in east London providing Reiki, reflexology, cacao ceremonies, lymphatic drainage massage, and other treatments in a design-conscious space. Located at 25 Sunbury Workshops, 30 Swanfield St, London, E2 7LF, the studio aims to normalize intuitive healing care, moving away from typical New Age aesthetics. Biggs, a licensed Reiki practitioner, previously ran the business from her flat and now attracts clients like Isamaya Ffrench, Yasmin Sewell, and Alex Brownsell, many from the beauty and creative industries. Her career in fashion and art included roles at Acne Studios, Ditto Publishing, and Vyrao, before a near-death experience led her to explore healing methods. The studio also features female practitioners specializing in breathwork, facial sculpting, astrology, tarot, and reflexology, and stocks brands such as Maria Caco, Alexis Smart, Vyrao, Anima Mundi, and Monastery skincare, with Biggs as the sole or one of few UK suppliers for most. Reiki, developed in early 20th-century Japan, involves practitioners placing hands above or on the body to guide energy for relaxation and wellbeing. A personal session described in the source involved sensations of movement without physical touch, leaving the participant feeling zoned out. The Dream Of offers entry points for both seasoned and new clients, presenting a philosophy of care worth exploring.
