Hands upturned


REIKI ENERGY HEALING

Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation, which also promotes healing.  It is administered by ‘laying on hands’ and is based on the idea that an unseen life force energy flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's life force energy is low then we are more prone to ill health and anxiety, and if our life force energy is high we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

Reiki eliminates physical, mental and emotional blockages, which lead to the repetition of negative cycles, it brings balance and harmony back into every aspect of your life. I am also able to offer distant reiki healing, I act as a conduit and tune the healing energy to the person its being sent to and then it flows through the energy currents that exist naturally. Distance is not an obstacle for Reiki.


Crystals on a table

CRYSTAL HEALING

I offer crystal therapy alongside reiki and my clients tell me using crystals adds to the intensity of my reiki sessions. I was first introduced to crystals as a way of healing through a major illness in 2016 and I have developed a love for them, which I like to share with my clients.

Before the session I will Invite you to pick two crystals from my selection and I will explain the meaning behind the crystals you have chosen and you will hold them in your hands throughout the treatment, perhaps meditating or affirming qualities that they contain. During crystal therapy I place the seven main chakra stones on the body and use a pendulum to assess where there are blockages or imbalances in the chakras, it is highly effective and always accurate. I can offer distant crystal healing, using the power of intention.


angel cards

aNGEL CARDS

I believe in signs and signals, and I am sure that we all have guardian angels who try to alert us to the messages they wish to convey. I undertook an angel course in the summer of 2017 and part of this wonderful training was learning how to read angel cards for others.

Clients on occasion like to combine an angel card reading with reiki or crystal therapy for a wonderful, spiritually healing experience. I am also able to offer distant angel card readings to help you when you need guidance, support or inspiration.


Foot reflexology

Thai FOOT Reflexology

A pressure therapy based on the premise that areas of the foot correspond to areas of the body.

Applying focused pressure to the reflex points located in the foot stimulate the corresponding areas and remove blockages in the energy body.


Crystal on a pack of angel cards

Spiritual Healing

I allow the energy of spirit to flow through me in a way that guides, rejuvenates and empowers others.

Through combining the wonderful practices of reiki energy healing, crystal therapy and an angel card reading this 90 minute session will eliminate physical, mental and emotional blockages.


ear candling

Hopi Ear Candling with lymphatic drainage facial massage

Hopi Ear Candling, also known as Thermo Auricular Therapy, is an ancient form of therapy practised by many people all over the world. It's name is associated with the Hopi Indians of North Arizona U.S.A and means 'peaceful people'.

A hopi ear candle is a cotton tube that is painlessly inserted into the ear to draw out impurities, relieve pressure in the head and sinuses and aid hearing problems. I can also combine this treatment with a lymphatic drainage facial massage.

MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

Manual Lymphatic drainage has powerful, cleansing, relaxing, pain relieving and immunological benefits. In its manual form, it is a gentle, flowing, rhytmic massage. In any form, it can be applied to a wide range of pathologies, to great effect.

Manual Lymphatic drainage is used primarily to promote the optimal functioning of the lymphatic vessels that lead to the circulatory system. Manual Lympathic Drainage techniques facilitate the removal of metabolic wastes, excess water, toxins, bacteria, large protein molecules and foreign substances from tissue via the initial lymph vessels and the venous capillaries.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage relaxes the sympathetic nervous system, reduces pain, and enhances the activity of the immune system. It is effective in the treatment of a wide variety of problems including oedema, skin disorders, headache, sinus congestion, sprains and aches, stress, digestive disorders, and before and after surgery to remove tissue congestion and minimize scar formation.


Myofascial Release Therapy

The term Myofascia is derived from the greek word “Myo” meaning muscle and “fascia” meaning band. Fascia is like a three-dimensional body stocking that weaves its way throughout the body surrounding and supporting all muscles, organs and bones of the body, right down to a cellular level.

Fascia in its normal state is relaxed and wavy in its configuration and has the ability to stretch and move. However, if the body experiences any kind of trauma, through postural poor habits, surgery, a car accident, a fall, physical or emotional trauma, inflammation or scarring, then the fascia will lose its pliability and can become hard, dehydrated and stuck.

It responds to stress occuring in an area by laying down extra fibres, creating thickening and adhesions both through and between muscles. This in turn leads to restrictions, limitations and poor tissue health.

Myofascial Release is a hands-on, manual Therapy focusing on soft tissue dysfunction, pain, tension and holding patterns. It is a treatment that involves gentle sustained pressure. The time element within this therapy is vital as fascia cannot be forced as it has a quality known as ‘Thixotrophy’ where force is met by a returned force. Thixotrophy is the property of certain gels or fluids that are thick under normal conditions, but flow and become thin over time when shaken, agitated or otherwise stressed. Therefore we have to allow a sustained but gentle pressure for at least 2-3 minutes to allow the fascia to lengthen and restore to a healthy position.

Myofascial Release is aimed at everyone, most people develop some negative postural habits. This is due to repetitive activities or mental and emotional influences on the body. It can be of specific help to:

  • Individuals with chronic pain or muscle injuries

  • Individuals that perform repetitive work that causes considerable strain on muscles and joints.

  • Individuals who suffer from stress
