About

I work on releasing tension in the body, both physical muscular tension in my bodywork sessions & emotional weight held in the body in my Reiki sessions. The deep tissue massage and fascial release helps to restore the fascia in the body’s natural elasticity and gently reawaken its function within the body. Through conscious loving touch and slow rhythmic movements, stretches and rebalancing exercises we can help align postural imbalances and movement restrictions, easing the sensations of stiffness and tightness held in the body. If we are carrying grief or pain this generally feels like a heaviness or energetic weight held in the on the body. This can make our spirit feel quashed, a bunched over appearance and generally dullness to the body & lack of vital life force energy glow. I use massage techniques rooted in Tibet, India and Thailand from years spent training and living in Asia. These techniques awaken and stimulate the nervous system, improving our system regulation, reducing stress, and enhance the feeling of calm alertness, relaxed & zen but also very much alive. By awakening and activating the parasympathetic nervous system (the "rest and digest" part of the system) through conscious touch helps the body shift from a state of chronic stress i.e fight or flight, into a state of deep relaxation and recovery. - Our Reiki session will help bring you back into your highest alignment with the self, connected to your inner realms & feeling a sense of grounded-ness yet lightness in the body and a sense of calm clarity. If you’ve been feeling numb or disconnected from the body or lacking this vital life force energy then this session will help restore you back to your natural rhythm, feeling restored and rejuvenated. Reiki is an ancient healing technique used to channel energy through touch, intention and visualisation. Meaning “universal life force energy”, Reiki is used to purify the subtle body or energy field through the use of ancient symbols and loving, focused willingness and intent. The Reiki technique works on the principle of using the energy in your body to heal. Reiki unveils the power of the human body & shows how it can be used as a healing life force. The healing energy of Reiki is timeless, it’s as old as the universe itself and is the life force behind everything. Reiki is based on the understanding that the therapist is a channel for the unlimited life force of the universe. This is then channeled into the patient through the palms, in connection to their auric field, and guided by universal wisdom. This then activates the natural healing processes of the patient's body, unblocking the stagnant energy (which can cause discomfort & disease) ultimately bringing the recipient into a place of peace & relaxation, aiming to restore balance and harmony within the system.
