Had a great weekend selling reiki charged artwork and providing treatments. Thank you and for a great event 💗💗

Looking forward to today ! Come along and join us for the mind, body and soul event 19th November at Northaw Village Hall where I will be doing energy healing and selling some of my reiki , energy charged art work 💗💗💗

‘’ You can’t pour from an empty cup. Take care of yourself first’’ - unknown Even healers need treatments ! That’s why we do what we love - because we know how much they physically and mentally help 💗

Many of us have a strong love and connection to animals. For some of us our healing journeys may be guided in the form of spirit animals.

Spirit animals are there to help guide and protect us on our journeys. We may also hold characteristics of that particular animal.

Painting is a way for me to connect to mother nature. I love painting spirit animals, especially customised pieces for those who have strong relationships with their animals.

Art is not only aesthetically pleasing, it can be powerful and therapeutic for the individual. For me it’s a way of helping people connect to their inner self and feel empowered on the path they lead.

A lot of people have been asking me about the benefits of cupping. These are just a few, I could write a whole list of them.

I like to use fire cupping techniques or suction cups, first warming up the area with massage and then placing the cups on to the needed areas to really work circulating Qi energy and loosening those tight, sore knots depending on where needs treating on the body.

Massage with Reiki:

This combination is an ultimate relaxation duo.

Reiki is an energy healing technique, using gentle hand movements over the body and chakra points to promote healing and reduce stress. Sometimes clients come to me with ‘ blocks’ they know they want to release and sometimes clients can’t pin point what is happening but they know they need a shift in energy. This is where the combination is great. This isn’t just a stand alone massage , it’s one that helps you to realign, working on the areas that are needing more energy. Sometimes I even add crystals into the mix. It’s all about what is going on for you and what I think will help you best 💜💜💜

Did you know?

Did you know I’m also an artist ? One of my way of self healing is through being artistic and painting. I love creating art related to nature, spirit and the world around us. I also like creating informative pieces like this one about the chakras. Slot of the time I reiki charge my art work ready to send out blessed energy to its forever home 💗💗💗. I’ll be posting a lot more of my artwork here 😊. I also have dedicated to my art 🖼️

Happiness :

A big question on a Monday but it’s also a new week and a new change to really sit and think about what really does make you happy ? You’ll know it by the way you feel , aligned and content with who you’re around, where you are or what you are doing. Have a great week 💕💕💕

Why do cup marks look different in colour ?

Cupping is a fantastic way to bring blood flow , release muscle tension and stimulate natural healing processes in the body.

Our Qi ( vital energy) can become stagnated due to everyday stresses and even anxiety. This stagnated energy can manifest into physical ailments. Cupping helps to relieve stagnation and bring about a new, energised blood flow.

The colour of a cupping mark can indicate the level of stagnation, dampness within the body or toxin accumulation.

From experience and from people I treated although it is not painful you can definitely tell when an area needed a cup ! People have also noticed they turn a lot darker/ more purple in colour !

Cupping is so much more than placing cups onto the body- the concept of Qi goes a lot deeper and is so, so interesting!

Where have I been recently ?
I have been growing and looking after my little man ! The most rewarding job I have ever done ❤️
Giving birth and being pregnant is a different experience for everyone but what I have realised is that the reality of giving birth and what it entails can be quite traumatic. I also realised whilst being in hospital that there are a lot more women who have been through physical and emotional experiences AFTER giving birth. I am not trying to make anyone feel worried because honestly it is true what they say ‘ you just forget the pain ‘ but the pain can be alot more for some and sometimes that pain doesn’t go away but that is okay !

I am blessed enough to be in a position where I have amazing people around me who I am able to talk to and have help from . It honestly does take a village to look after one little human ❤️ . The love I have for my child I can’t put into words but there’s so many things that can arise that I never thought would. Now I understand why my parents used to worry so much about me 😂.

Slowly you start to find parts of yourself again but it takes time - your body changes, your hormones are very present and you have to put yourself last but that’s not forever. It is one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had and even though I had a tough time in hospital with infections and problems I’d do it all over again.

I have been on my own healing journey and finding myself all over again in a different way, practising my own reiki healing on myself , surrounding myself with crystals and learning to incorporate breath work into my manic day.

New mums, experienced mums , all mums ! and mums to be - if there are any of you who would like more information on how this can help you please Dm me , I am more than happy to give you advice ❤️❤️❤️

Healing is for all, not just for women. Everyone handles life and situations differently, but that’s not to say that crystal healing or reiki can’t help. Holistic healing therapies do not discriminate or exclude, that’s why they are so special 🤍🤍🤍

The beauty of healing and growing :
Old wounds and re occurring experiences and habits take over. Going through new changes to process what has happened is by no means pretty. It hurts, it’s painful, it leaves you vulnerable but the rewards at the end make up for it, you just need to take a leap and start the process. Through the journey you will find parts of you that you never even knew existed/ never thought was possible. There are so many ways you can help yourself with feeling vulnerable along the way :

Seeing friends
Going for a massage
Taking time out for you
Reiki
Crystal healing
Talking therapies

Sending love and light to all of you on your journeys 🤍🤍

Happy Valentine’s everyone. Today doesn’t have to be commercial or just about love for a partner. It can be love for anyone around you ( including yourself !) sending love and happiness to all those around me . Today can be a great day at opening the heart chakra . Here are some ways you can do this : Practise gratitude with ‘I am grateful’ statements Repeating ‘ I am affirmations ‘ to yourself Carry a small piece of rose quartz around with you Eventually you might end up doing these on a daily basis and bring them into your daily life 🤍🤍🤍🤍 Enjoy 😊

The reason why I know cupping works is because I have cupping myself !⁠
⁠
Everything I offer is due to the fact that I have been there myself and want to spread knowledge and healing to those around me 💜

Dm me for any questions you have ☺️☺️🤍

The reason why I love giving these treatments is being I have personally experienced them and know how powerful they are. My fellow healers, you know what I mean when I talk about the power of crystal healing ! Clients, you know how you feel after every session it’s different for all but the power of it surprises us each time we have it.

If you are looking for a treatment that digs deep but aids relaxation, this is the one for you !

Why cupping ? Where do I begin on the benefits of cupping ! Learning stagnation and bringing a flow to those muscles, cupping is brilliant at receiving pain and pressure in those areas where we feel tension the most. Like most treatments though it is important to keep it up . Cupping can be part of your well-being routine 😊. It’s important to look after yourself . Take care of those muscles !

New chapters can come to us in different ways, they can take you by surprise or can come in a time of need. The great thing about these experiences is that they can lead your lives in so many different directions. That’s the great thing about life. If we look at it from a different perspective we can be open so many new opportunities. Sometimes what is not meant of us opens the doors the the best moments of our lives.

Insomnia : the last few weeks I have been struggling to sleep/ waking up extremely early with an active mind. It’s been so frustrating trying to get back to sleep. I started to place clear quartz , amethyst and rose quarts next to my bed. They are gentle yet babe powerful properties to help relax , calm and bring an energy that is great for helping you to sleep. These are also ideal for pregnant ladies who are going through pregnancy insomnia as they are not over powering . If I do wake up during the night I have been visualizing the stone I am drawn to out of the three along with deep, clear breaths. It seems to be doing the job ! Therese so many ways we can use these precious gems to help us in daily life. Give it a go ☺️

Wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year 🤍🤍🤍. Thank you to everyone who has supported me on my journey , have come to me for treatments and been supportive throughout 2022. I love what I do and you are the reason why I do it ! Here’s to a year full of manifesting, growth, healing and love 🤍🤍🤍

Heading into 2023 a lot of people will be on their paths for wanting to better themselves and their lives. A lot of the process comes with digging up old feelings and looking at patterns we keep following. Don’t forget that this journey doesn’t happen over night- keep persevering even when it feels difficult; that’s when it will make the most difference! It takes being consistent and going through the process. Just remember the reward will be worth it in the end 🤍🤍🤍🤍

We all get aches and pains ! This could be from anything such as stress, exercise or medical conditions. Looking after ourselves and maintaining our well-being is such an important form of self love. Cupping can help with this. Not only does it help get those deep knots out that can take hours to massage, it also helps to revitalise stagnant energy , really working in those areas that need it !

Affirmations :

Sometimes we need a little push to get out of our headspace and into a new , fresh one. Affirmations may seem like just ,words, but remover, words are powerful ! Here are some winter affirmations to remind you of your worthiness 🤍🤍🤍

Great treatment unblocking those chakras last night.

Those of my clients who come regularly know how beneficial it is to keep treatments going. It’s like a massage- having a one off massage can help but regularly looking after yourself does wonders!

There are times in life where things can get too much for us- things might feel a bit chaotic or unbalanced. This is where the root chakra comes into play.

Working on the root chakra helps to promote the feeling of being grounded, giving a sense of security and stability.

Another really simple way of promoting balance is by walking barefoot and connecting with the ground ! Give it a go !

My favourite time of the year !

Hope you all have a blessed last couple of months of 2022 !

‘Autumn shows us how beautiful it is to let things go’ - unknown

Now is a great time to get rid of what’s stopping you from reaching where you went to be. We don’t have long left till 2023 so let’s make the months count !

Lately, I have been treating a lot of neck and shoulder pains. These are prime places for stress to build up. Massage and Indian Head massage are a great way to release stress from the muscles . My client combines back, neck and shoulder massage with a touch of Indian Head massage 💆🏻‍♀️

The heart chakra is one of the most common blocked chakras. Just think anxiety and built up emotions all in one area. A lot of my clients say they can feel the crystals releasing these feelings as soon as I place them around the area. You’d be surprised but it’s something that as healers working on clients we can also start to feel the emotions and anxiety release from our clients too!

Starting to look forward to Halloween already Halloween 🎃. I love seeing all the decorations out 😃 👻
