HolisticTherapies & Energy Healing
Restoring balance of your Mind , Body & Spirit
Reiki
Reiki is an ancient Japanese healing art, and a type of biofield energy therapy. It helps to restore and rebalance the energy flow through our energy centres (Chakras). It is a very relaxing treatment where you just lie back and enjoy the experience. It is administered by the laying on of hands around the body, while clothed. This laying on of hands may be on the body around the head and feet but also above the body.. The idea is that Universal Life Energy flows through all of us and as a Reiki Master I can be the instrument through which this energy flows.

Reiki works by relaxing and balancing the energy and therefore systems of the body which some people report to;
Improve sleep
Relieve pain
Increase Libido
Boost mood and relieve stress
Relieve anxiety and depression
Activates the Parasympathetic nervous system which then helps to reduce blood pressure and increase heart rate variability
Promote a sense of wellbeing and therefore improve quality of life.
It promotes a Spiritual connection with the universe.
Bio-energy/Quantum Touch
This type of energy healing is similar to but different from Reiki.
Like Reiki, you lie on a couch and enjoy a nice relaxing treatment. But rather then channeling universal energy and using Reiki symbols and guides for healing, this treatment, like Reiki, focuses on the Chakras and the flow of energy though this centres but also on cleansing and balancing these Chakra centres and different layers of the Aura.
It can be very helpful for physical and emotional issues.
As much of our illness and dis-ease coming firstly from imbalances in our energy field before it manifests in the physical body, this healing work is an important part of our health and being. It is about working holistically with the whole person, body, mind and spirit.
As with the two therapies above, energy healing can help to;
Relax the body and mind
Relieve pain
Increase feelings of wellness
Relieve symptoms of chronic illness
Promote a sense of connection to the Universe
Sound Healing
This ancient form of healing is making a big comeback recently. Sound and Gong Baths have become a very popular choice for promoting relaxation and you can, no doubt find a local group in your area. The sounds can incorporate gongs, tibetan singing bowls, rainsticks, a chime or bells.
Sound therapy can also be completed on a one to one basis in a similar but different way to how you would experience a sound bath.
Sound, as well as energy therapy, works on the theory of vibration and resonance, which is energy. As everything is energy as discovered by Albert Einstein and others, then energy runs through our body and all around us. It is a fascinating subject to discover, and within that understanding is the fact that we all have the ability to heal ourselves through energy.
Chakra Balancing Sound Therapy using Tuning Forks
Chakra balancing is a sound therapy treatment using tuning forks. The tuning forks are from the Sacred Solfeggio set and, when activated, create various vibrational frequencies that resonate with the chakras, helping restore optimal health and wellbeing.
Not only do we benefit from the sound of the tuning fork when activated via our ear, we also experience a change due to the vibrational energy of the sound on the body. A process called "Resonance" happens here which aligns the body to the highest frequency of the sound.
Each tuning fork in the Sacred Soffegio set has a different vibration frequency relating to each chakra, helping to balance and harmonise all the energy centers in the body.
Sound therapy has been used for centuries to treat mind, body and spirit and research has shown that sound activates certain centers in the brain and can be beneficial for;
- anxiety
- depression
- releasing trauma/negative emotions
- pain
- and other physical, mental and emotional issues.
The treatment promotes a deep state of relaxation, calm and well-being, as it effects the brainwaves. Similar to a Reiki treatment, you would lie on a couch on your back while I work on each of the Chakras individually. The resonance of the forks helps to lull your brain into a meditative Alpha state of calm, relaxation while the vibrations work to rebalance the whole body, mind, and spirit.
An energy or sound treatments is £30 for 30 minutes or £40 for 45 minutes.
I am happy to do a 60 minute blend of both treatments - £60
Earthing/Grounding
Earthing is not a therapy as such, but I feel that its important to include it here.
Grounding is not to be confused with the idea of grounding for mental health or when healing. So that is why I prefer to refer to it mostly as Earthing, but you may also hear it called grounding.
The practice of grounding involves walking barefoot outdoors to connect to the earth's electrical charge. It has been suggested that due to a recent increase in rubber and plastic-soled shoes we have become disconnected from the earth's natural healing energies, as these materials are not natural conductors of electricity like leather soles are. This is suggested as a possible cause of why our ill health continues to increase over recent times.
Earthing research suggests that this practice reduces pain and inflammation and improves sleep and overall mental wellness. You can read more about earthing here.
You can also visit The Earthing Institute website, where you can watch the groundbreaking earthing movie, and buy grounding products for when time or weather won't allow for being barefoot outdoors
