I am a Reiki Master & a full member of the Association of Reflexologists. For over 15 years I have offered Reflexology and Reiki treatments and I also teach Reiki to those who would like to be able to give it either to themselves or others. I have more recently trained in Sound Healing using Tuning Forks and am very much enjoying adding this to my treatment repertoire. A Soul Midwife is a midwife of the soul, a holistic and spiritual companion to the dying and their loved ones. We assist people at the end of their lives, to bring them comfort, understanding, a non-judgmental listening ear, help release fears about dying and to help them transition gently and peacefully. For more information see http://www.soulmidwives.co.uk/what-is-soul-midwifery/

I am also a Trustee and a Therapist for local baby loss charity 'Towards Tomorrow Together', where I support local families who have experienced the loss of a baby. I have recently trained as a Bereavement Support Volunteer with national charity 'Cruse', where I give regular support to bereaved individuals on a one-to-one basis via a weekly 'phone support session. I attend various regular yoga classes, including Kundalini Yoga, and am very much enjoying the many benefits this brings to my life. I also enjoy kayaking, canoeing, stand-up paddle boarding and spending time with my wonderful family & our pets.

I've just created a short video for clients to find how to get to Cathy Chiplen Compassionate Therapies, where to park, and how to come round the side of the house into the back garden to access my Treatment Cabin. I see a lot of clients on their first appointment looking a bit nervous as they come into the garden so I thought I would create something that can at least take that bit of anxiety out of the process. Hopefully making this as accessible as possible. The ambient wind and background traffic noises are a there, but not bad for a first attempt.

A video of how to arrive and park at Cathy Chiplen Compassionate Therapies and how to access my Treatment Cabin. I know it can be really daunting for some pe...

Today is Say Their Name Day.

For families whose babies or children have died, their name is not a painful reminder.
It is love.
It is identity.
It is proof they were here.

When we say their name, we acknowledge their life, however brief.
We honour their place in their family.
We show that they matter.

If you feel able, you are invited to share your baby or child’s name in the comments. We will hold each one with care 🀍

And if today feels heavy, that’s okay too. You can read names quietly. You can whisper them at home. You can light a candle. You can say them in your heart.

Because saying their name keeps their love visible.

This is my happy face after a day of doing my own personal therapy this morning, and then supporting some wonderful clients this afternoon. I love it when I have the opportunity to deeply engage with clients & support them through a combination of physical holistic therapies & listening to what’s arising for them. Absolutely loving that I can put my skills & expertise to good use & really hold deep space for my clients.

🐝 Introducing our new Bee Posts 🐝

We’re proud to have recently introduced our memorial Bee Posts within the grounds at Sedgemoor Crematorium and are looking forward to seeing the wild flowers grow around them....

So what is a Bee Post?

These thoughtful structures are designed to help our bees and other insects by providing:

🐝 Shelter & Protection
They provide a safe, sheltered space where solitary bees and other beneficial insects can rest, nest, and take refuge from wind, rain, and predators.

🌼 Warmth & Overwintering Support
The structure of Bee Posts helps retain warmth, making them especially valuable during colder months. This can improve survival rates for bees overwintering or emerging in early spring.

🌱 Boosting Biodiversity
By encouraging pollinators to live and thrive in the area, Bee Posts help support local plant life, trees, and flowers, contributing to a healthier, more balanced ecosystem.

πŸ¦‹ Wider Wildlife Benefits
While designed with bees in mind, Bee Posts can also benefit other insects such as ladybirds and beetles, which in turn support birds and other wildlife higher up the food chain.

πŸ’› A Meaningful Connection Between Nature & Remembrance
Bee Posts combine environmental care with remembrance, creating a space that supports life while honouring memories.

The Bee Posts also hold memorial plaques, offering a meaningful way to remember someone special. They provide a peaceful and lasting memorial opportunity for those wishing for a place to reflect and remember a loved one.

If you’d like to find out more, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

A special thank you to our Groundsman Ray for his hard work creating this lovely area πŸ™‚

We’ve had a few people comment recently that they didn't realise we did short introduction to weaving classes.

So here’s a little reminder from us: we run gentle introductions to weaving, longer courses, study groups, and specialist workshops with visiting tutors β€” in person and sometimes online.

If weaving has been on your β€œone day I’ll try that” list, consider this your sign - we've got 2 spaces left on the 21st March!
