Spirituality is about recognizing that we are all connected to a greater source. It’s about experiencing love, freedom, and a profound sense of unity with everything around us. It encourages us to see ourselves as both the entire ocean and a single drop within it, embracing the vastness of our existence and the individuality of our journey.

🌿 Healing the Healer: Essential Tips for Self-Care 🌿 As healers, we often pour so much of ourselves into helping others that we can forget to nurture our own well-being. Here are some tips to help you recharge and stay balanced:

1. Set Boundaries: Remember that it’s okay to say no. Protect your energy by recognizing your limits.

2. Create a Ritual: Establish daily or weekly rituals that bring you joy, whether it’s meditation, journaling, or a nature walk.

3. Seek Support: Don’t hesitate to reach out to fellow healers or mentors. Sharing experiences can lighten the load.

4. Practice Mindfulness: Ground yourself in the present moment. Mindfulness techniques can help reduce stress and enhance clarity.

5. Engage in Creative Expression: Whether it’s painting, music, or writing, allow your creativity to flow as a form of healing.

6. Prioritize Rest: Quality sleep is essential. Make self-care a priority so you can continue to give your best to others.

7. Stay Connected: Maintain relationships outside of your work. Connecting with loved ones can provide the emotional support you need.

✨ Remember, you can’t pour from an empty cup. Take time to refill yours! 💖

The steady rhythm of waves, the soft call of birds, the sway of branches—they don’t demand anything from you. They invite you back into sync with a slower, older rhythm that your body instinctively remembers.

🌿 Special Giving Event for November & December 🌿

In honour of the beautiful souls in my life who are currently walking the path of healing through cancer care, I am opening a heartfelt initiative for the season of giving.

✨ For the months of November and December, I will be donating 25% of all 1.5-hour Reiki, Integrative Chakra Therapy, and Raindrop Therapy session fees to the BC Cancer Foundation.

This offering is dedicated to those who continue to show deep courage while navigating treatment — those who meet each day with a quiet strength, gentle hope, and a willingness to keep moving forward in their own way, at their own pace. Their journeys inspire compassion, presence, and love.

If you’ve felt called to receive a session—for emotional release, energetic alignment, pain relief, or simply to return to a space of calm and connection—know that your healing experience will also help support others in receiving care, research, and comfort. 💛

🕊️ Together, we can create a ripple of support, love, and light throughout our community.

⸻

💚 Session Options (1.5 hrs):

✔️ Reiki / Integrative Chakra Therapy
✔️ Raindrop Therapy

📍 In-person at Pacific Shores Wellness Spa | Distance Reiki/Chakra sessions available
📅 Available all November & December
🎗️ 25% of each session donated to the BC Cancer Foundation To book or learn more, DM me or visit: my bio for my booking link

With tenderness, gratitude, and healing energy,
Deirdre 🌸
