The commonest reasons that clients come to me with are issues like pain, stress and tension, problems with sleeping or digestion, and challenging life circumstances like chronic illness and bereavement.
To understand what might take place in a session, I need to explain the term 'holistic' first. We are complex creatures with a range physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs- all of which must be in balance to feel a true sense of overall wellbeing. If we don't meet our basic needs, our whole system will go to increasing lengths to flag up issues that need addressing. If we ignore these calls for attention, we will eventually begin to experience physical symptoms such as pain and illness. I think of these as the final cards our system plays in getting us to slow down, take stock and make change.
Clients might come along initially for a holistic massage for stress or muscle pain. Through the course of their healing process, we may discover that their pain is actually due to a feeling of being trapped in the wrong relationship; or that their insomnia stems from a feeling of dissatisfaction and lack of acknowledgement at work.
During a course of treatments I may advise that we tailor a combination of holistic massage, Indian head massage, reiki energy healing, crystal healing and therapeutic coaching specifically to your individual needs. If you're open to it I might suggest crystals which could assist you in daily life too.
Treatments are unique and specific to you- you might become aware of other thoughts, memories or sensations whilst healing is taking place and I may feed back things during the treatment- perhaps about a colour which is significant for you, a crystal which you might benefit from having, or an image of a significant person or event. "I often 'sense' how you feels without you talking about it. This might take the form of feeling actual pain or tension and showing you where it is located within your energy field. Other times I might sense your emotions.
I also pick up information about matters which people have not yet discussed -myself sharing quite complex information which I wasn't even aware that I 'knew'. This information makes sense to you as the client and may be key to an area which needs healing. These qualities have allowed me to work very effectively in a wide range of supporting roles and enable me to be a very sensitive and responsive therapist and teacher.
Although one session you will leave feeling lighter, more relaxed and fresher, treatments are generally most efficient over a longer period of time. When you come to me for a treatment or teaching- be prepared for much much more than a simple massage or training course! Clients feed back that our sessions have literally turned their lives around.
