✨ Why You Won’t Be “Fixed” in One Session ✨

I know it’s tempting to hope that one session will magically undo months — or even years — of stress, tension, and emotional strain.

But your body doesn’t work that way… and that’s actually a good thing.

Your nervous system heals in layers.
Your body unwinds little by little.
Your energy shifts when it feels safe, supported, and not rushed.

A single session can absolutely bring release, clarity, calm, and comfort — and many people feel a big change right away.

But real, lasting transformation happens with consistency. That’s where the deeper work takes place. That’s when old patterns begin to soften. That’s when your body finally stops bracing and starts healing.

Think of it like going to the gym: one good workout feels great, but it’s the repeated sessions that truly strengthen you.

If you’re ready for healing that doesn’t just “patch over” the problem but actually supports your whole system… I’m here for you.

💛 Message me to book your next session and keep your healing moving forward.

✨NEW LEVEL OF COSINESS JUST DROPPED ✨

Your comfort matters just as much as your healing — which is why I’ve upgraded the treatment room to feel like a warm, safe cocoon.

To help you settle into that “oh wow… I could stay here forever” feeling, we now offer:

🔥 Heated under-blanket
☁️ Snuggly heated over-blanket
🌿 Weighted blanket
🤍 Soft cosy throws
☁️ Knee support pillow

Whether you crave warmth, grounding pressure, or that wrapped-up “Sunday morning” feeling… I’ve got you covered (literally).

Your session isn’t just about relaxation — it’s about feeling held, supported and deeply cared for.
Come and experience the difference comfort makes. Your nervous system will thank you. 🤍

✨ Next week’s availability:
🌿 Wednesday and Saturday

If you’ve been moving through life on autopilot, always rushing from one thing to the next… this is your reminder that you matter too.

So often, we wait until we’re exhausted, overwhelmed or burnt out before we finally give ourselves permission to slow down. But your body doesn’t need you to “push through” — it needs you to pause.

Reiki creates space for that pause. It allows your nervous system to settle, your mind to quieten, and your body to release what it’s been holding onto.

Imagine starting next week feeling lighter… clearer… grounded again. You deserve that.

If your heart has been whispering “I need this” — listen to it.
Your session is ready and waiting. 💫

🗓️ Reply “BOOK” and I’ll get you scheduled — once these slots are gone, they’re gone.

🎃✨ Halloween is officially behind us, which can only mean one thing… Christmas is just around the corner! 🎄

It’s that time of year when we start thinking about how to show our loved ones just how much they mean to us. And let’s be honest — finding the perfect gift isn’t always easy.
So why not give a gift that goes beyond the usual candles, slippers or gift sets?

Give them something truly meaningful — a moment to pause, to breathe, and to reconnect with themselves. 💫

A Reiki session is the perfect way to help someone unwind from the stresses of daily life, release tension, and restore balance to their mind, body and spirit. It’s a thoughtful, nurturing gift that says, “you deserve time for yourself.”

✨ Reiki gift vouchers are now available — beautifully presented and ready to gift. Prefer something instant? I also offer beautiful electronic vouchers you can send straight to their inbox.

The perfect present for anyone who could use a little calm and healing energy this Christmas.

🎁 Message me to order your vouchers or find out more.

Following a number of late cancellations and no-shows, I’ve made the difficult decision to introduce a cancellation fee.

This isn’t something I take lightly, but as a small business, every appointment truly matters. When someone cancels at short notice or doesn’t show up, it’s not just a lost hour — it’s time that could have supported another client who needed that space. It also means preparation, energy, and resources have already been set aside for that session.

My work is about holding space for calm, balance, and healing — and that begins long before you walk through the door. From cleansing the room and setting intentions, to creating a welcoming environment, each appointment is planned with care. When sessions are missed without notice, it has both an energetic and practical impact.

New Policy:

Cancellations made within 24 hours of your appointment will now incur a 50% cancellation fee, which must be paid before any future sessions can be booked.

I completely understand that unexpected things happen — each situation will always be handled with compassion and discretion depending on the reason for cancelling.

Thank you so much for your understanding, respect, and continued support. It allows me to keep offering the calm, healing space that so many of you value.

If you need to change your appointment, please message me as soon as possible — communication is always appreciated and helps me accommodate everyone more easily.

Why Pushing Through Stress Is Harmful

When you “push through” stress — powering on despite feeling overwhelmed, tired, or emotionally drained — your body stays stuck in fight-or-flight mode.

That means your nervous system is constantly on alert, flooding your body with stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. While this is helpful short-term (like when you need to meet a deadline or handle an emergency), it becomes damaging when it never switches off.

Over time, this can lead to:

😩 Fatigue and burnout — your body never gets a chance to truly rest or repair
💭 Anxiety, brain fog, or irritability — because your mind is always on high alert
💔 Weakened immunity — chronic stress suppresses your body’s natural defences
💆‍♀️ Muscle tension and pain — your body literally holds onto stress
🌙 Sleep disruption — you can’t relax enough to drop into deep, restorative rest

The truth is, rest isn’t laziness — it’s essential maintenance for your mind, body, and energy.

When you allow yourself to slow down — through Reiki, Indian Head Massage, or simply taking intentional quiet time — your body moves into the rest-and-digest state. That’s when your heart rate lowers, breathing deepens, and your body begins to heal and rebalance naturally.

🕯️ If you’ve been pushing through, this is your sign to pause.
Give yourself an hour of deep calm and come back to balance. Your future self will thank you.

🎃 No tricks, just treats...

This Halloween, it’s time to release the energy that’s been haunting your mind and body 👻

Whether you’ve been feeling tense, drained, or just in need of a moment to breathe, Reiki can help you reconnect with calm and balance.

This gentle, restorative treatment soothes your nervous system, melts away stress, and helps clear the energy that’s built up from daily life — leaving you feeling grounded, lighter, and deeply relaxed.

🌕 For one day only — on Halloween — I’m offering sessions at a special treat price of £30, saving you £10.

🕯️ Available only for appointments booked on Halloween.

But be quick — these sessions are vanishing fast… I’ve got just 3 spaces left before this offer disappears into the mist 👻

Think of it as your energetic reset before stepping into the busy winter months. No tricks, just relaxation, healing, and peace.

Release the Energy That Haunts You

Not all ghosts go bump in the night — some linger quietly in your energy field 👻

We all carry energetic residue from past stress, emotions, or experiences that haven’t fully been released. These energetic echoes can leave us feeling heavy, blocked, or disconnected from our true selves.

Reiki helps clear that stagnant energy, restoring balance and flow so you can feel lighter, calmer, and more at peace.

This Halloween, instead of being haunted by old energy, let’s release it. Step into the next season feeling grounded, clear, and fully present.

🕯️ Ready to let go of what no longer serves you? Message me to book your session — it’s time to lift those energetic cobwebs.

How much do you spend on a night out?

A meal, a couple of drinks, maybe a taxi home — before you know it, it’s £60… £80… £100… sometimes more. And while those nights can be fun, they often leave us feeling tired, drained, or a little flat the next day.

Now imagine spending just a fraction of that on something that truly nourishes you — your energy, your peace of mind, your emotional wellbeing.

A Reiki or Indian Head Massage session gives your body and mind space to exhale — to release what you’ve been carrying, rebalance your energy, and reconnect with yourself on a deeper level.

It’s not about treating yourself once in a while. It’s about realising that your wellbeing deserves the same attention (if not more!) than the things that give you only temporary joy.

When you start investing in your healing, you’re choosing long-term calm over short-term distraction. You’re saying yes to yourself.

💆‍♀️ Put yourself first — you’re worth it.

The Benefits of Block Booking Your Sessions

If you love how calm and balanced you feel after a Reiki session — imagine how much deeper that feeling can go with regular treatments.

Here’s why booking in bulk is a beautiful choice for your wellbeing:

Consistency – Regular sessions help your body and mind stay in balance, rather than starting from scratch each time.
Commitment to self-care – Scheduling ahead ensures you actually make time for yourself.
Better value – Save on each session when you purchase a block.
Peace of mind – Your preferred times are secured in advance.

✨ Invest in yourself — your future self will thank you. ✨

📩 Ready to make self-care a priority? Message me to find out more or to secure your block booking today.

Block Booking Terms & Conditions

* All sessions included within a block booking must be scheduled at the time of purchase to secure your preferred dates and times.
* Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice will result in that session being forfeited, as time has been reserved specifically for you.
* Block bookings are non-transferable and may only be used by the individual named on the booking.

Signs your body is stuck in fight or flight mode:

You struggle to switch off — even when you’re tired, your mind is racing.
Your thoughts feel constant, like your mind never stops.
Your body feels tense — tight chest, clenched jaw, shallow breathing.
You feel on edge for no reason - like you’re waiting for something bad to happen.

When your body stays in fight or flight, your nervous system is on high alert — preparing to protect you, even when there’s no real danger. It’s hard to rest, digest or feel calm - even during quiet moments. Over time, this can leave you feeling drained, anxious, or disconnected.

This is where Reiki can help - A Reiki session helps your body move out of survival mode and back into a state of calm, supporting your nervous system to move from fight or flight and into rest and restore.

Energy begins to flow freely again, your breathing deepens, your body relaxes, and your mind finally feels quiet. Clients often describe feeling lighter, calmer and finally able to take a deep breath again.

It’s a reset for your whole system — physical, emotional, and energetic.

Reiki gently reminds your body: You don’t have to keep fighting. You’re safe to rest now.

💛 If your body is asking for calm, listen to it.
🌙 Book your Reiki session today — give yourself the space to breathe, release, and return to balance.

You can’t run away from what’s inside you.

So many of us spend years trying to push down our emotions, distract ourselves, or “keep busy” in the hope that the heaviness will fade. But what’s inside of us doesn’t simply disappear — it waits for us to listen.

Reiki offers a gentle and supportive way of doing just that. It helps you connect with yourself on a deeper level, bringing what’s hidden into the light with compassion instead of judgment.

In a Reiki session, your body and mind are given the chance to soften, release tension, and allow healing to unfold naturally.

The emotions you’ve been carrying don’t need to define you. When given space, they can transform — creating more calm, clarity, and inner balance.

If you’ve been feeling like it’s time to stop running and finally tend to what’s within, Reiki is a safe and nurturing way to begin.

📩 Message me to book your session — your healing journey starts with one gentle step.
