Reiki Healing 

Reiki is an energy based therapy working to activate the body’s natural ability to heal itself restoring both physical and emotional well-being. A treatment eliminates stress, promoting deep relaxation bringing the recipient a sense of balance, clarity and harmony from within.  Reiki originated in Japan, it is a technique for stress reduction that also promotes healing within.   Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects and positives results.  Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery. I am trained to Master Level in reiki having taught over 300 students.  Reiki is a beautiful treatment which can be incorporated in our sessions. 

Coaching

Should you prefer a more solution-based directive approach, Coaching may be for you. Coaching is beneficial to anyone aspiring to reach specific goals or life changes but in need of some help & assistance to figure out exactly what the goal/ change is and/or how to get there. A typical example would be uncertainty around a career change or similar. Together we can discuss the advantages and disadvantages and work out an action plan in order to attain and meet specific goals or changes. In short, my goal is to guide you in reaching yours in the most efficient, effective and rewarding way possible.

 

Wellbeing

I am a certified Nutritionist, Well-being and Weight Management Coach with The National School of Nutrition. I facilitate Mood and Food training as well as offering this additional support on a one on one basis. A healthy life style is key to not only maintaining good physical health but also balancing emotional health and well-being. Well-being Consultation is designed to equip clients with coping strategies to improve overall physical and emotional well-being. A great starting point for those wanting to make lasting changes to their lives.

 

Mindfulness and Meditation

I hold a Diploma in Mindfulness and Meditation and may incorporate relaxation techniques in our sessions. Practising Mindfulness and Meditation can have positive effects on both our emotional and physical well-being. It is an extremely efficient technique for stress management. Taking up the practice of mindfulness and mediation on a regular basis will go far beyond stress reduction and has many deep psychological advantages.

Somatic Therapy

Trained to level 1 I intend to expand my training beginning a4 year study program in the SE biophysiologial model for the resolution of Trauma.

 

These techniques and therapies may be incorporated in my sessions should we both feel this be beneficial to the therapy process however should you feel any of the above services would solely be of interest to you, I am more than happy to discuss this and provide further information and details on request.

I am a member of The International Alliance of Holistic Therapies, fully qualified and insured to practice all services I offer.
