ID Holistics

Relationships are quickly becoming the 🔥 topic in the self-development world. There are many reasons why, and here's a few.

Will you get ahead, self-develop and aim at becoming relationally skilled? Or will you sit back, watch the way you do relationships passively unfold, and hope for the best? 🤞

Hey everybody! Full moon and what not, the time has come to let go. . 🌬️ Over the past 7 years, I have supported many body therapy clients focussing my attention on their physical state.
In creating solid rapport with many, I began to realize that inner connection and healthy relationships are key to living authentically, and that the mental and emotional wellbeing of our collective requires attentive care and alignment too 💟

Through deepening my connection with clients, friends and family I noticed that the number one thing we are most challenged by is in fact RELATIONSHIPS 👭🏽

Relationship with our body, with the mind, the external environment, our inner world and of course, other people.

💫After years of healing,studying, learning and developing my sense of self, my desire to contribute to make the world a more connected place has grown in incredible ways.

So, today I let go of the name ID Holistics, but not what it represents - I will keep hold of the memories, experience and opportunities that this brand has offered me, and continue to practice body therapies on a low-profile level.

Reframing my line of work means that I choose to show up as a more awake, introspective and whole version of myself 💞
What I do is not only a job or a business, but a way of being and living.
Although, I wholeheartedly believe that somatic work and body therapies are a necessary element in the self-growth and healing process, I know and trust that real transformation happens inside ourselves, through self-awareness.

👉My focus from now on will be directed toward encouraging self-exploration and guiding growth minded people into themselves, so they can begin to generate meaning and freedom in their relationships.

🌱Through personalised guidance and coaching, I intend to offer a way forward for anyone who feels stuck and who is willing to grow from the inside out.

I look forward to announcing many more wonderful news!

Reflecting upon out first meet-up last night, The Check-In.

I went in without expectations, an open heart and humble attitude.

Those who show up made the experience truly special and most definitely one I'll remember for the rest of my days.

This is a journey for me as much as it is for them.

So much to learn, so much care and consideration to cultivate for one another, so many insights and honest truths to be shared.

Aahh... I am still in so much awe. I can safely say this is the most enriching experience I've lived so far. My heart has never been so full of love and appreciation ❤️

There is no doubt about it now.

I've unconsciously been looking to embark on this path since I can remember. No words can describe it. My soul 'knows' that this is it.

Guiding and creating a safe space for opening is where my heart is. I know I have work to do to improve and refine my own way of holding space, one step at a time I will keep walking, learning and growing along with those who are showing up.

It's like I knew all along that offering a way for people to be truly seen and express their authentic voice is the path I'm here to walk.

Up to now, I couldn't match a feeling to the sense of knowing.

Now, it's all so obvious and clear.

I have lucidity and I can see clearly where I am going.

I am IN for the ride.

All.The.Way.Through.

One week today! 😊 Here's what next Sunday morning will look like.. 👇

🥐Grab a delicious hot drink, maybe a cake or brunch dish at the wonderful Barn Cafe on the Meanwood Urban Farm grounds.

👥Find your spot in the new co-working space and connect with likeminded people attending the workshop.

🤓You'll spend approximately two hours learning some basic knots to create a unique macrame wall hanger. I will guide you step by step - the class is suitable for absolute beginners and those who need a little refresh.

✅All materials will be provided, including the wooden dowel, beads and 100% cotton cord.

The morning is going to be fun, interactive and relaxing all at once!

👉 Use the link in bio to grab your spot!

👉Tickets at £30 and there's 4 of them left!

Have a great start to your week, hope to see some of you there on Sunday 💫

What a whirlwind of a week! 💫🌪️😵

I've had such a wonderful time on Monday at the ACC Liverpool Staff Wellbeing Day working alongside very talented people...a dream team of therapists and Wellbeing experts! 🌱

Once in a while we all have the opportunity to join forces thanks to the amazing work of Mind-It - a Leeds based company supporting many corporate companies by hosting events to increase wellness and awareness in the workplace!

The rest of the week wasn't too bad either, with many home visits for body therapy and private yoga (👉 must swipe for suprise doggo on the mat 😍), regular clients
In Headingley, planning and actions steps to get my Relationship Coaching off the ground (stay tuned for Connection circles 👉 COMING SOON!), and a visit at the amazing to put up some posters for the Macrame making workshop coming up in November!

So much gratitude and appreciation for the varied life I get to live! 🙏

I was never destined to only follow one direction...I love having all my eggs in different baskets - the blend of people and activities that fill my days bring me so much joy! ✨😍

Thank you all for the love and trust!

Roll on the last week of October 2022!

All my love,
Erica

When in doubt, take a hot bath 🛀 And no, a hot bath won't wash away all your problems. A massage won't fix all your injuries, just like an hour of coaching won't give you all the answers!

However...
👇
stillness
presence
support
clarity
insight
relief
acceptance
👉Are all a byproduct of those lovely self-care activities.

Sometimes, we have to slow down in order to see the path clearly.

But more importantly, I believe that when we invite presence into our lives, we become bound to make better decisions and more aligned choices.

Many of us however, have only learned to react and go along with the rest of the world instead of looking at what feels authentic to us. We often forget that we have the choice to slow down and choose our very own rhythm. That is alignment.

So, here I am telling you about this spontaneous hot bath I've had the other day 🙈

All I had on my mind was lists of things 'to do'. I felt pressure at the idea of having to prioritize...😵 I never really enjoyed putting things in order of priority and I usually do it at the very last minute..So, I thought it would be a good idea to create time to just 'be' and remind myself that the world, definitely still goes around without those boxes being ticked!! ☑️

I chose to leave the churning of thoughts aside and took pleasure in attentively curate the look and feel of my hot bath experience ✨
I chose to enjoy the passing of time, found stillness and surrendered to the most healing, wise teacher and guide,

PRESENCE.

And guess what?!

The rest of the day unfolded just fine. Many answers and resolutions came. And the pressure was off.

All I had to do was trust my gut feeling which usually tells me to...

Slow down.
Have a hot bath.
Hold on, take a breath.
Relax, take a moment.
Be still, what's the rush?
Be in the now.

Anyone here sending themselves crazy over 'lists' of things to do, and choosing hot baths instead?! 💁🏽‍♀️

Just a quick check-in to let you all know that I'm still around 🙋🏻‍♀️ and that I have some important info to share. Thanks for taking the time to read this update! 🙏

APPOINTMENTS

If you've tried to schedule an appointment and struggled to find available slot it's because I am currently 90% booked up with regular clients.

I open the remaining appointments on the 10th if each month, for the following month. I.e. October appointments will open online on the 10th of September.
Please know that these go quickly on a first comes first served basis.

Please note that ALL BOOKINGS must be made via the online system, not via Direct Message.

💫 LAST MINUTE AVAILABILITY THIS WEEK!

I have an appointment available this Wednesday afternoon between 13:00-15:30 either for a mobile visit or in Headingley at We Are Wellness 👇


💌 Because I give the option to book at multiple locations, as an exception I ask that you please DM me to book confirming the time, location, type and length of treatment.

NEW CLIENTS + GIFT VOUCHERS

Although I truly and always appreciate your recommendations and word of mouth, I have to be honest and admit I have basically reached full capacity. So, I have decided to close my practice to new clients and to stop selling gift vouchers from October onwards.

You can still purchase gift vouchers online (see link in bio) until the 30th of September this year.

I may choose to reopen availability to all clients should more appointments open up in the new year if and when regular clients let go of their reoccurring slots.

ABOUT REGULAR CLIENTS

Just to clarify, this is not about my personal preference.
Regulars are all clients who have been visiting ID Holistics for the past 6 years and who have committed to receiving holistic therapies regularly.

They have been scheduling and attending ALL their appointments either bimonthly, every 3 weeks or monthly throughout this time based on what works best for them.

I am absolutely amazed by the trust and support received over the past 6 years.

Thanks to anyone who joined me on this very special journey.

10 Day out of office notice 🧘‍♀️

From today I'll be completely off radar, with no phone or access to internet on a 10 Days Vipassana Meditation journey.

ABOUT VIPASSANA

Vipassana is a way of self transformation through self observation.
🔹
It focuses on the deep interconnection between mind and body, which can be experienced directly by disciplined attention to the physical sensations that form the life of the body, and that continuously interconnect and condition the life of the mind.
🔹
It is this observation based, self exploratory journey to the common root of mind and body that dissolves mental impurity, resulting in a balanced mind full of love and compassion.

💌
Please note that 80% of my bookings are now reserved to regular clients.

And if you want to book a treatment and can't find space, I will open the remaining September appointment s online on the 10th of August

I will respond to messages and emails when I return after the 8th of August.

🙏
Thank for your patience if you end up waiting for my response.

Much love to you all,

Every day here is different and I love it. I love working in different rooms. But there was a time when I was fixated in wanting to be in control, have my work space set up exactly my way and felt distressed at the idea of things being out of place.Anyone relates?! 🤷🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

However, letting go of my city centre studio, relocating and joining this new community here in Headingley has helped me be more flexible and adaptable.. not so stuck in my own ways! Fully embracing the natural shifts and changes that life brings...☺️ And for that, I am deeply grateful. Thankful for the lessons these changes have brought to me and for the lessons I continue to learn.
