Lena Brailsford Therapy & Support

🌺This November, as we take time to remember and honour those who have served, I’m offering gentle support for anyone navigating grief, loss, trauma, or emotional distress.🌺

Through a range of complementary therapies — including Reiki, massage, and crystal healing — I provide a safe, calming space to help you find peace, balance, and comfort for the heart and mind. 💫

In recognition of those who have given so much, a portion of all profits this November will be donated to Stand To — a Chesterfield-based service offering practical and emotional support for veterans and their families. 🇬🇧

If you or someone you know could use a little healing or calm this season, please reach out or share this post.
Let’s remember, reflect, and heal — together. 💖

✨ Gentle support for the soul — available all year round. Cromford , Matlock and surrounding areas.

🍂✨Lovely walk with the family yesterday 💚

I’m so proud of Rosa. She’s always been scared of caves, the dark, and getting lost — proper fear, sometimes to the point of tears. But yesterday she blew me away. She walked into a cave with no lights, and when I asked her to lead us back to the car, she did it!

I’d made little memory stops along the way to help her remember the route, and it worked. She was chatting away, recalling each thing we’d done as we walked. Seeing her face when she realised she could do it was just amazing.

We also found this lovely little spot that looks like it’s been used for forest school — a swing, walkway across the water, fire pit, and woods perfect for dens. Rowan had a great time making his own parkour route, climbing trees, scrambling up waterfalls, and even practicing his photography along the way. 📸

I found some perfect quiet spots by the water too — just sitting, watching the colours of the trees, feeling completely at peace. 🍂

It was one of those days that just felt right. Exactly what we all needed. ❤️

💎🍁Crystal Quest Reflections — The Land Always Knows💖🍂

What a beautiful day we shared on our Crystal Quest — a day of intuition, peace, and golden light beneath the trees. ✨

Each of us was quietly drawn to exactly what we needed most, guided not by our minds but by the gentle pull of the heart.

Rowan, with his thoughtful, shy spirit, was drawn straight to the water. There he placed his turquoise — the stone of voice, confidence, and truth.
It now rests beside the rippling stream, where sound and movement never stop, reminding him that his voice — even when soft — can flow freely and reach far.
Turquoise will whisper to him of courage, connection, and calm whenever he returns to that gentle place. 💙

Rosa wandered until she found a tree with wide, open branches — strong enough for a family to sit in and rest together. She tucked her tiger’s eye into its roots, a stone of bravery, balance, and protection.
It glows with warmth and grounded joy — the perfect reflection of her heart. Tiger’s eye teaches that strength can be loving, and courage can be gentle; that safety often lives in the company of those we love. 🧡

And then there was me — drawn to a tree at the crossroads, between my children’s sacred spaces. Every path from there leads somewhere beautiful, and the ground was blanketed in yellow leaves, shining like sunlight.
Here I buried my Bloodstone, the stone of endurance, renewal, and purpose. It’s the warrior-healer’s stone, one that holds the energy of quiet strength — the strength to keep showing up, to nurture, to guide. ❤️

Together, our three crystals formed a perfect triangle across the land:
💙 Water for voice and self-expression.
🧡 Roots for courage and belonging.
❤️ Crossroads for purpose and hope.

None of it was planned — yet every placement made sense. The land seemed to know exactly what each of us needed, offering gentle healing and reflection in return.

Now the woods hold our stories — a constellation of love, courage, and calm energy woven into earth and leaf.
Whenever we return, we’ll find them waiting: reminders that we are rooted, we are growing, and every path leads toward the light. 🌿✨

✨ A Gift that Lasts a Lifetime ✨

Angelic Reiki Attunement Retreat | November 14–16 | Matlock Bath Spa Hotel
Sometimes the most beautiful gift isn’t something that can be wrapped , it’s something that changes the way someone feels about themselves, their life, and the world around them. 💞
This retreat isn’t about learning “techniques.”
It’s about awakening a connection , to your own healing angel, to peace, and to the quiet knowing that you are never truly alone. 🕊️
To give this experience to a loved one is to offer them the ability to support themselves through life’s ups and downs , to have a way to bring calm, clarity, and comfort whenever they need it.
Even a few minutes of practice can bring them back to centre — to love, to faith, to that settled peace within. 🌸
It’s a gift that lasts long after the weekend 🪽a skill, a daily ritual, a way to weave healing into everyday life.✨
It complements all the other ways we care for ourselves 💖yoga, walking, nourishing food, meditation yet it goes deeper, bringing mind, body, and soul into gentle unity.♾️
This isn’t about money.
It’s about giving something that nourishes forever, ✨a lifetime of light and love in their own hands.
If someone comes to mind as you read this, maybe this is the moment to gift them something truly special.

🌿 DM or text me to find out more or to arrange a gift booking.
(All -inclusive £750 for one , £500 pp for two sharing including spa, daily access to the geothermal cold water pool, pre & post healings, £350pp day visitors)

We’re going on a Crystal Quest! 💎🍁
A magical woodland adventure to find your special calm spot — a place to breathe, play, and connect with the land. 🍂

Each child will intuitively choose a crystal that matches their energy or what they need to release their worries🥰a little piece of nature’s magic to support what they need most. We’ll then journey together to the woods and find individual sacred spaces which can be returned to at anytime — especially after those big school days when emotions feel a bit wobbly, and a moment of grounding, release, and joy is needed. 🌈💖

Meet: Potential Space, Under Harmony
Time: 11:30am
Bring: an open heart, a love of crystals, and a belief in magic ✨

Led by me, Lena — holistic family therapist and ex-primary/SEN specialist teacher with over 25 years’ experience supporting children and families. 💫

Energy exchange:
£5 per child • £10 per family (up to 3) • £15 for larger tribes

We’ll spend around 30 minutes creating and grounding in our special spots, then stay and play as long as your heart and energy need to. 🌳💖
Text Lena 07713318120 to book or formore information
Ps thanks to all the photographers who shared these images online of the beautiful woods we will visit - an example of how social media and the internet can still connect and inspire us in beauty x

✨ Sending Love vs Sending Reiki ✨

We all know how powerful love and good thoughts can be — when someone holds you in their heart, that energy does reach you. ❤️

Reiki just works on a different level. It’s not a wish — it’s channelled universal energy, guided intentionally through the practitioner with focus and training. The practitioner becomes a clear channel, allowing the energy to flow exactly where it’s needed most. 🌿

Think of it like music — anyone can hum a tune and lift your spirits, but a trained musician can touch your soul. Both are beautiful, they just work differently. 🎶

That’s also why Reiki often involves an energy exchange — training, time, and dedication all shape the quality of what you receive. The energy is universal, but the channel makes all the difference.

If you’re searching for the right practitioner, set an intention and trust the signs the universe sends — a random encounter, a shared interest, that quiet sense of “this feels right.” ✨

Both love and Reiki heal — just in their own unique ways. 💖

If you feel called to experience it or want to know more, DM me or text 07713 318 120 Lena🌸xx

✨💖🪽 Distance Reiki Healing – Special Offer This Week 🪽💖✨

If you ever lose your path, get distracted, or question your purpose — trust that the universe always finds a way to answer. 💫

Since September, I’ve felt a deep call to slow down, nurture myself, and reconnect — especially after a busy summer. Every time I’ve tried to return to full work mode, life has reminded me to pause and be present (poorly kids, cancellations, broken boilers 😅).

Now, caring for my little one again, I’m reminded why I chose this path three years ago — leaving a secure job to create a life aligned with my values and family. 💖 It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it. 🌿

So this week, instead of resisting the stillness, I’m embracing it — and offering something that deeply fills my cup: Distance Reiki Healing. ✨

Reiki energy transcends time and space, bringing balance wherever you are — even while you sleep. 🌙

To prepare:
💧 Have some water
🕯️ Find a quiet space
🌿 Relax, close your eyes, and simply be open to receive

You might feel warmth, tingling, calm, or deep rest — every experience is beautifully unique.

✨ This week only: 50% off Distance Reiki sessions ✨

If this calls to you, message me or comment below and I’ll share the details.

🌸 Thank you, Universe ,I’m listening. 🌸

With love and light,
💖 Lena xx

💛 An Invitation from Autumn 💛

Step outside and stand upon the golden leaves — those little suns that have fallen to earth. 🍂
Kick them, crunch them, feel their joy beneath your feet. Let their laughter rise up through your soles and into your heart.

This is colour therapy in motion — the solar plexus chakra awakening, glowing with the energy of yellow. Each leaf a reminder of warmth, confidence, and the inner child who still loves to play.

As the real sun hides behind the clouds, it leaves a bed of sunshine for us to walk upon — a soft golden glow to remind us that joy is never gone, only transformed.

Ground yourself in this moment.
Let the earth hold you, let the colours heal you, let your heart remember how to shine. 🌞

Pamper Day ✨🍁
Wednesday 15th October | 9:30am – 3:00pm | Room 101, Matlock

As the leaves begin to turn and the air takes on that golden autumn glow, it’s the perfect time to slow down, release, and restore. Join me for a nurturing midweek retreat designed to help you recharge, reconnect, and fill your stores before winter’s quiet rest.

💆‍♀️ Taster sessions are around 20 minutes each — a wonderful way to sample something new.
Or, if you’d like to sink in a little deeper, you’re warmly invited to combine the familiar with something new — perhaps blending your usual massage or reflexology with Angelic Reiki or chakra balancing for a truly bespoke, restorative experience.

I charge by time, not treatment, so your session is completely yours — to rest, receive, and simply be.

🌿 Featured this season: Angelic Reiki
A deeply gentle yet powerful energy therapy that’s 100% inclusive — suitable for everyone, from babies to elders, and for any state of health, whether you’re feeling well, managing physical treatments, or in need of emotional or spiritual support.
It’s non-invasive, and can be received seated or lying down — a soft embrace of light and calm that supports you exactly where you are.

You can also enjoy:
🍂 Swedish or targeted massage
🍂 Indian head massage
🍂 Reflexology
🍂 Usui Reiki
🍂 Oracle card readings
🍂 Chakra balancing — with crystals, sound, or breath

In the afternoon, join me for a gentle Guided Angel Visualisation — a peaceful moment to centre, ground and open your heart to the season’s quiet magic.

✨ Sparkly non-alcoholic drinks, seasonal nibbles, and crystals will be waiting to make the day feel extra special.

🌾 DM or text Lena on 07713 318120 to book your slot — spaces are limited.
Come and treat yourself to an autumn pause — grounding, soothing and filled with golden light 🍁
