Andrea Jackson - The Holistic Celebrant

A civil celebrant offering bespoke and truly personal ceremonies for all occasions in life
Get your mind, body & spirit in harmony. And I just love it.

Reiki, Sound Healing, Angel Cards, Indian Head Massage and removing emotions, thoughts and pain that no longer serve you. Sometimes you just know when your chosen career is right for you. And I have found the perfect blend as a celebrant and wellbeing practitioner. So why did I choose to be The Holistic Celebrant? I attended a family ceremony where I felt the content was more about the vicar’s beliefs than the people involved, and some details quoted were incorrect. This really didn’t feel to be personal. I came away from this ceremony thinking “I could have done a much better job”
Coming from a corporate and charity background and being involved with amateur theatre for many years, I am completely at ease standing in front of people and speaking. So, I completed my training with an industry leading provider Civil Ceremonies Ltd and became qualified to develop and deliver bespoke weddings, partnerships, namings and funerals. What could be more rewarding than engaging with your clients to deliver something so personal and special. No two ceremonies are ever alike. As a wellbeing practitioner, NLP Master Practitioner, Reiki Master and Indian Head Massage therapist, I regularly use my toolbox of techniques and therapies to support people to be the best they can be. As Maya Angelou said “If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude” I work with my clients to help them to be the best version of themselves and to bring about balance of mind, body and spirit.

Ssshhh!!

Well from Sunday to Thursday I am going on a silent retreat.

And quite often the reaction from people has been to laugh at me. But I know I can do this and love it because I did it last year.

We will gently go into the silence on Sunday and maintain this until Thursday afternoon. Performing yoga, mindfullness and the afternoon to ourselves.

What can I expect to achieve from this?
Well I am entering it this time with an open mind to experience whatever arises. This could be joy, tears, anger, sadness and a whole myriad of experiences. The thing to do is to sit with whatever arises and ask "Why am I feeling this?" And the answer will come at some point maybe in the time away or maybe at home in one of the awareness moments.

It wont necessarily be a spiritual connection period but more about me. But of course I am a spiritual being so I will have to wait and see.

There are no phones, no books, no music, no computers or anything to really occupy your brain so that you dont get diverted from concentrating on you.

I am looking forward to it greatly.

I will let you all know how I feel at the end of the session.

Many blessings

Funerals aren’t about ticking boxes or following a script… they’re about the person 💛
Their story. Their quirks. Their laughter. Their legacy.
A ceremony led by a celebrant creates space for something truly personal — a heartfelt reflection of a life lived, told in a way that feels real, meaningful, and memorable.
No two lives are the same… so no two farewells should be either.
It’s about honouring who they were, celebrating what they meant, and creating a moment that feels just right for those saying goodbye.
Because every story deserves to be told beautifully. ✨

Pause for a moment… just a tiny one 💫
Take a breath in… and let it out slowly.
Notice where you are. Notice how you feel. No fixing, no changing—just noticing.
Life can rush past in a blur of to-do lists and “what’s next?”
But right here, in this small pocket of time, you get to simply be.
Maybe it’s one deep breath.
Maybe it’s a quiet minute with your eyes closed.
Maybe it’s just softening your shoulders and unclenching your jaw.
Whatever it looks like for you… it counts 🌿
A gentle reminder: you don’t need to have it all figured out today.
Just breathe, reflect, and take the next step when you’re ready.
✨ You’ve got this.

I am really looking forward to our next Sound and Gong Bath next Tuesday starting at 7:30 pm. Come to Barley Village Hall for 7:15pm and settle down with you mat, blankets and whatever will make you comfy.

You will be settled into a highly relaxed state by a wonderful range in of instruments including Tibetan bowls, ocean drum, gongs, my voice, shamanic drum and flute and many others.

And how can you expect to feel? Many people feel a deep state of relaxation, some can feel a release of stress/tension and even pain relief.
It will be a personal journey and just what feels right for you.

If you want to come then please book your place. Drop me a line or reserve your place using the following link

I look forward the seeing you.

Reiki is a universal energy, drawn from the universe, through the practitioner and into the recipient. Sounds easy? And it is with the right intention. I have listed below some simple steps how a Reiki practitioner can use the energy.

Remember, you need to be a reiki practitioner to be able to use the energy effectively. As a reiki practitioner I would be honoured to treat you with an emotional, physical or spiritual difficulty. Give me a call and I would be happy to help you.

✨ How to Use Reiki in Everyday Life (Even If You’re a Beginner) ✨

Reiki isn’t just something that happens on a massage table — it’s a gentle, powerful energy practice you can use anytime, anywhere.

Here’s how to bring Reiki into your daily routine:

🌿 1. Start with Intention
Reiki begins with intention. Take a quiet moment, place your hands over your heart, and simply set the intention:
“I allow healing energy to flow for my highest good.”
That’s it. Reiki responds to focus and willingness.

👐 2. Use Your Hands
Feeling stressed? Place your hands on:
• Your heart for emotional balance
• Your stomach for anxiety
• Your head for mental clarity

Stay there for 2–5 minutes. Breathe slowly. Notice warmth, tingling, or calm.

🌙 3. Clear Your Energy Before Bed
Before sleep, sweep your hands a few inches above your body from head to toe. Imagine releasing the day’s stress. Reiki is amazing for deeper rest.

💧 4. Charge Your Water or Food
Hold your hands around your glass or plate. Set the intention that it’s filled with healing energy and gratitude. Small rituals create powerful shifts.

💞 5. Send Reiki to Others (Yes, You Can!)
Visualize someone surrounded by light and set the intention that they receive healing energy for their highest good.

Reiki is gentle. It meets you where you are. The more you use it, the more natural it feels.

Reiki is a lovely energy and I am sure you will feel the benefit.

Have you ever tried Reiki? 🌟

Today I thought I would pull a card from my pack "Woodland Wardens" by Jessica Roux

The Hare and Oak

New Opportunities. Hares are often seen as the symbols of fertility and love. Associated with the Cetlic goddess Eostre, they represent springtime, a season of abundance and birth. A variety of cultures have linked theoak tree with bravery and vitality. In ancient Greece, the oak was revered as the tree sacred to Zeus, in norse mythology, it represented the tree of life, and in ancient Celtic and Druid cultures, the oak was associated with the god Dagda.

A celebration of good fortune is in order. If you have been in a caregiving role, this is a reminder that your sacrifices will be repaid.

What can I celebrate today?

What exciting opportunities should I follow up on?

Today I visited Ruskin's View at Kirkby Lonsdale, the ale house, many of the local shops including the fab butchers. It's so many years since I have been there, at least 30 yes, and it really doesn't seem to change, rustic and full of charm. It would have been great for a pub crawl with at least 6 pubs.

Where have you visited recently that you really enjoyed? Post me a picture.

A day of quiet and reflection.

Yesterday was our annual bonfire day. The day broke cloudy but dry and so, Barry set off to start the fire up. It was a windy day and so the fire roared off well, if not a little random with the smoke distribution.

We are always astounded by the amount of firewood gathered throughout the year, how amazing and regenerative nature is. Off cuts, trimmings and choppings, all to make make space for new growth.

The day became brighter and the sun even came out.

Just enjoying the flames, the loading of the fire, the cracking and popping of the fire and of course watching the smoke became a bit like a meditation.

I wonder where do you like to meditate? And when would you consider you are in a meditation?

Meditation is not just about sitting with legs crossed, eyes shut and deeply meditating. Meditation can be watching the stream flow by, getting caught up in the clouds, cleaning your teeth with purpose or even just having a moment whilst taking a shower. What does the water feel like on my skin, can I smell the soap, what does the water sound like.

Having two minutes or thirty minutes of mediation will be beneficial to you. Help centre you, help bring your blood pressure back to a resting state and become more rested and clear of mind.

Enjoy your meditation and improve your health.

Many blessings

ANNOUNCEMENT

I have been reviewing the number of attendees at my gong and sound meditations. And there has been one common theme for non-attendees "I'm away" or "Busy" that night.

And so I am moving the day that I will be holding them. From January 2026 they will be held on the 3rd Tuesday of every month.

It is hoped that this will not be a busy night for you all and I look forward to seeing you a little earlier for a 7.30 pm start.

My next one is in December. A special reset and get ready for the New Year on Sunday 28th December at 3pm.
