With a previous NHS career I am passionate about the positive life changing benefits of Mindfulness. Helping people develop effective calming, techniques through mindful and somatic practices, create personal embodied presence in day to day life and bring more understanding and compassion to themselves and their lives is a joy and pleasure. A more mindful approach in life improves our physical and mental health, resiliency, joy and personal appreciation and connection with life.

Lets face it, anxiousness has become the new normal regrettably.

There's lots of reasons why and we don't need to think about the reasons here.

Without any doubt Reiki reduces anxiety.

Over and over my clients tell me so.
I witness the stress leaving their body and see how much lighter, calmer and happier they feel at the end of a treatment with me.

We can't necessarily change the things that are causing us to worry or feel anxious but we CAN change their impact on us - try Reiki - it helps.

More great evidence that Reiki helps people through cancer related fatigue.

It's such a powerful and gentle holistic therapy.

New Paper Alert! Published in the Journal of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network by Jeremy McGuire et al., the randomized pilot study "Feasibility and Efficacy of Reiki Versus Massage for Cancer-Related Fatigue in Patients With Breast and Prostate Cancer Receiving Hormone Therapy" evaluated the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of Reiki compared with massage therapy for reducing cancer-related fatigue in 87 patients with breast cancer receiving aromatase inhibitors or prostate cancer receiving androgen deprivation therapy. Participants were assigned to two massage sessions, two Reiki sessions, or four Reiki sessions. All three interventions significantly reduced fatigue, with improvements sustained at the 10-week follow-up; however, Reiki produced larger within-group effect sizes than massage, particularly the four-session Reiki regimen, which showed the greatest reductions in overall fatigue, worst fatigue, and fatigue-related interference with daily life. Although differences between the treatment groups were not statistically significant, the findings suggested a possible dose-response effect, with greater benefits from four Reiki sessions. The authors concluded that both Reiki and massage are safe and feasible approaches for managing cancer-related fatigue, with Reiki showing particularly promising results that warrant confirmation in larger, adequately powered clinical trials.

This was a wonderful afternoon at Thistle Hill Care Centre - Barchester Healthcare sharing Reiki with a group. Thank you for inviting me 💛✨️

As a gentle, non-invasive energy therapy, Reiki offers a comforting, holistic health and wellbeing boost for residents, families or staff in care home settings.

Reiki can;
* Help soothe anxiety, lower stress levels and ease restlessness.
* Promote a natural healing response that eases chronic pain, stiffness and physical tension without any physical pressure.
* Calm the nervous system, encouraging peaceful, restorative sleep and rest.
* Provide emotional comfort & connection that helps combat feelings of loneliness and promotes an overall sense of well-being.

It's a powerful, yet gentle & adaptable wellbeing support.

I look forward to returning

Peace was the theme gifted to today's group mindful wellbeing walk. The Washburn Valley felt peaceful. Tranquility comfortingly radiated from the landscape. We settled into the space and experience, gently exploring how we could choose peace in our mindset and life.....

Last night's full moon encouraged us to recognise the opportunity to close, release and let go of whatever no longer serves us. We had space to recognise there may be patterns of release or completion showing up in our lives currently. As always the natural pattern in nature can reassure or inspire us when we pause to recognise them.

An interesting walk where the woodland felt more autumnal than summery. With lunch in the sunshine under blue sky and a warm breeze encouraging gently falling leaves earthward.

Definitely a time of transition and a threshold being crossed.

Conversations around choosing peace and intention setting at the start of the day to help support us be the people we want to be and to feel steady, grounded, present and alive in our precious lives flowed......

Another wonderful walk 💚🌳
