A really lovely part of my work is these moments of Spirit Release 🙏
I know this work won’t make sense if you have never experienced or sensed a stuck soul but the truth is that many people ,from all walks of life ,have had direct experience of sensing or seeing these ones. Have you ?
Or do your children comment about seeing a person you can’t see ?
Or perhaps your pets often look at a particular spot as though someone is there ?
Sometimes there can be trouble or disturbance associated with these ones but often they are very loving and sweet . However , they all need to be where they belong and not stuck in a place where we now live .
I can help with that - as a tried and tested Ghost Whisperer with many years experience

Postpartum Isn’t a Phase,
It’s a Vital Time That Deserves True Recognition

Whether you are weeks, months, or even years postpartum, your body remembers.

The sleepless nights, the hormone tides, the constant output of care, whether through breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or the higher degree of emotional attunement needed , shapes your nervous system, your energy field, and your sense of self.

Too often, this time is dismissed as something to “bounce back” from.
But the truth is: postpartum is not over in six weeks. It is a vital, foundational season that deserves deep care, attention, and recognition. How you are supported during this time affects not just your recovery, but your long-term wellbeing.

Postpartum marks the beginning of something profound:
Matrescence, which is the emotional, hormonal, social, and spiritual transition into motherhood and which happens over time

At Wellspring Holistic Therapies, I offer healing support designed specifically for mothers in the postpartum journey, no matter how recent or how long ago.
(Your birth and postpartum experience stays within your nervous system for many years - ask any Mother to describe their experiences and you will hear this to be true)

For your comfort and ease
You are welcome to:
Bring your baby with you
Have a companion present to tend to your baby while you receive treatment
Lie down, rest, sleep, or simply be seen and centred

For those in the immediate weeks after birth,
when leaving the house feels like too much,
home visits can be arranged so you receive support exactly where you are.
Call to discuss availability and needs.

You might like to choose from

🌿 Reiki

A gentle hands-on or hands-above technique that helps calm your nervous system, return your energy to your own body, and bring emotional clarity. Especially helpful for overwhelm, sleep disruption, and emotional exhaustion.

👣 Reflexology

Focused touch to the feet, stimulating nerve points connected to the whole body. Supports hormonal balance, deep relaxation, lymphatic flow, and grounding. Many mothers fall into restorative sleep during treatment.

🌸 Aromatherapy

Bespoke essential oil blends used in massage or diffuser to soothe anxiety, uplift mood, ease tension, and support hormonal recovery. Safe, natural, and deeply nourishing when chosen carefully for postpartum needs.

💧 Flower Essences

Subtle yet powerful vibrational remedies to support emotional healing, boundary repair, grief release, and restoration of inner strength. Especially useful for mothers carrying hidden or unspoken trauma.

These sessions centre you and your needs
Because you are the centre of your baby’s eco-system.
When you are supported, the whole field around you strengthens.

If you’re ready to receive, rest and recover , I welcome you.

Hot Stone Massage to Calm Your Nervous System & Ease Headaches

Did you know that ….
Tension-type headaches are the most common type of primary headache, accounting for nearly 90% of all headaches. They often start in the neck and shoulders, where stress, muscle tension, and lifestyle factors build up without relief, making them highly relevant to anyone experiencing chronic stress or physical strain.

What really helps ? ….
Hot stones, warmed to body temperature, pe*****te deep into muscle tissue, encouraging muscles to release and blood to flow more freely. This warmth helps the nervous system shift out of constant tension, allowing your body to truly relax. Many clients notice a lighter head, softer neck, and calmer mind after just one session.

So……
It’s not just comfort, it’s a physiological reset for a body that’s been holding too much and over time this can prevent the repeated occurrence of symptoms

The Gut–Brain Connection: Microbiome, Stress & Mood

Our gut and brain are in constant dialogue. This is known as the gut–brain axis, and it explains why stress affects digestion and why digestive problems can affect mood.
• The Microbiome: Trillions of bacteria in the gut help us digest food, balance hormones, regulate immunity, and even produce neurotransmitters like serotonin. A disrupted microbiome can leave us feeling low, anxious, or drained.
• The HPA Axis: The hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis is the body’s stress-response system. When activated too often, it keeps cortisol high, which can disturb the microbiome and aggravate issues like IBS, sleep disruption, or emotional overwhelm.

It’s important to say: most stress is structural. Workload, caring responsibilities, finances, health concerns , these are not personal failings, they are the conditions we’re living inside. So whilst we cannot run away and live in caves, we can create small, restorative counterweights for the body and mind !

🌿 Five stress-supports for daily life
1. Grounding therapies Reflexology, massage, or yoga help calm the nervous system and reset the stress loop.
2. Consistent sleep
Going to bed and waking at regular times supports hormone balance and reduces inflammation.
3. Blood sugar balance
Regular meals with protein and fibre can prevent the sharp dips that trigger more stress hormones.
4. Time outdoors
Even 15 minutes in natural light helps regulate mood, immunity, and the circadian rhythm.
5. Emotional support
This is where Bach Flower Remedies can be so powerful. They don’t erase the pressures of life, but they can gently ease the emotional load , helping with feelings of overwhelm, hopelessness, irritability, or exhaustion, so the nervous system isn’t carrying quite as much weight.

What you can expect during a Bach Flower Remedy consultation
You will get 40 minutes to share what’s happening in your day to day life that you would like some support with . Persistent unwanted thoughts , feeling overwhelmed or burned out , feeling dogmatic and unable to rest or a sense of foreboding can all be eased and overcome with the use of a tailored Bach Flower Essence tailored to your current experience and situation

You will be given a dosing bottle of pre blended Bach Flower Essence with an easy spritz applicator

You then take this home and use it whenever you feel your original symptoms creating imbalance for you - over the course of a few weeks you will notice a lift or change in your symptoms and there will be an overall improvement and a greater sense of ease

Bach Flower Remedy Consultation
£45
( includes your personal blend of Bach Flower Remedies in a ready to dose spritz bottle )
Appointments by phone or in person are available

Reflexology for Digestive Ease (IBS, Bloating, Flare-ups)

Many people don’t realise how strongly the digestive system is linked to stress. When we’re anxious, our body diverts energy away from digestion, which can worsen symptoms like bloating, pain, or irregularity.

Reflexology works by gently stimulating points on the feet that correspond with the stomach, intestines, liver, and nervous system. Clients often describe feeling deeply relaxed, lighter, and calmer afterwards , and over time, this can help:
✨ Ease stress-related flare-ups
✨ Support regular bowel movements
✨ Reduce tension that worsens bloating or cramps
✨ Encourage the body back into balance

While reflexology doesn’t replace medical care, it can be a soothing and supportive part of your self-care toolkit if your tummy often feels unsettled.

What to expect during your Reflexology

Your session begins with a soothing lavender & sea salt foot soak and a calming herbal tea , a moment to slow down and arrive. You’ll then settle onto the heated Dreamtime massage couch, cocooned in comfort as you receive your full reflexology treatment working the key areas relating to your specific needs

To complete your treatment your feet are gently exfoliate using hot mitts & a Neals Yard Rose Body Scrub , after which a moisturising Neals Yard Comfrey & Mallow Foot Balm is applied before your feet receive the hot stone foot wrap .

At the end of the hour you will notice a wave of relaxation through your whole body — a lightness in your tummy, a release of tension, and a deep sense of balance returning.
