Some of the beautiful benefits of this sound journey may include:
✨ Deep relaxation
✨ Gentle support with anxiety and low mood
✨ Releasing stress and tension
✨ Improved sleep
✨ Clearing energetic blockages
✨ Greater clarity and grounding
✨ A chance to fully relax, release and surrender — something so needed in our busy world 💛

Myself and the wonderful Laura casserley are collaborating to bring you a wonderful 2 hour healing journey where we will release all that no longer serves us and invite in our goals for the coming months. Combining the practical and stable energy of Ta**us with the loving energy of Ta**us' ruling planet of Venus, you will be cocooned in comfort and instilled with strength.

Mama cacao will take you in her arms, helping you to set your intentions and release what no longer serves you. Next, you will nestle down to be guided into meditation where you will meet the beauty that surrounds you as you invite your goals to come forth.
The beautiful healing tones of Laura's alchemy bowls will work through your body, taking you to a place of ease and to layer up the healing, I will be delivering hands on reiki during the soundbath. There will then be a close as you begin to allow the healing energies to integrate and you will leave feeling peaceful and strong, lifted and hopeful. A perfect way to enter into the colder months and darker hours.

To book call or dm Nicola on 07969113040.
