Rooted in Rest

19/11/2025

Last week a woman came to see me who whispered as she walked in,
“I just don’t feel like myself anymore. It feels like everything has just snowballed.”

Her shoulders were up by her ears.
Her breath was shallow.
Her nervous system was tired from carrying too much for too long.
And she kept apologising for “getting emotional,” even though she didn’t need to.

Halfway through her treatment, her whole body softened.
Her jaw unclenched.
Her breath dropped lower.
At the end she opened her eyes and said:

“I feel lighter. I didn’t realise how much I was holding.”

This is why I do this work.
Not for perfection, not for quick fixes
but for these quiet, powerful moments where a woman remembers what it feels like to be held, to soften, to breathe again.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, overstretched, or disconnected lately…
you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep holding it all together by yourself.

My treatment room in Auchterarder is a space where
your body can melt away,
your mind can settle,
and your nervous system can finally rest.

✨ Appointments for November + early December are open.
If your body is asking for a reset, you’re always welcome here.

With over 1000+ healing hours practised and 100% five ⭐ reviews, you can rest assured you are in safe hands 🤎

With love,

🌑 New Moon Reset | Book Your Reiki Session

The new moon always brings a quiet invitation…
a blank page, a deep breath, a soft reset for your whole system.

It’s the perfect time to release what’s been weighing you down
and call in the energy you want to carry forward.

If you’ve been feeling overstimulated, heavy, restless,
or craving something you can’t quite name..
your body might simply be asking for space to start again.

That’s exactly what Reiki offers.
A moment to clear the old, soften the noise,
and let your nervous system drop into deep, safe rest.

Clients often tell me after a session:
“I feel lighter.”
“My mind isn’t racing anymore.”
“I didn’t realise how much I was carrying until it left.”

This new moon is the perfect time to experience that release for yourself.
A reset that isn’t just symbolic - it’s energetic.
It’s physical.
It’s felt.

I have a limited number of Reiki appointments available left this week in Auchterarder.
If your body is whispering yes, send me a message to book.

Let this new moon be the moment you choose softness.
You don’t have to navigate the heaviness alone 🤍

I think sometimes relaxation is overlooked

“I don’t have time to relax”
“That sounds nice but I don’t need it”
“Relaxation is a luxury”

I’m not saying these thoughts and beliefs don’t have weight to them,
because life absolutely does get in the way,
and the cost of living continues to rise.

But the benefit and transformation relaxation can give is more than you think.

And maybe, relaxation can even improve your life in more ways than you think.

After a session I have had countless clients tell me things like…

“I slept better than I have in years”

“I don’t feel as anxious at the end of the day”

“That random ache has dissappeared”

“I feel like I can handle stress better”

“I can actually sit and enjoy my evenings without all of the worries spinning in my head”

“I feel so much lighter”

What if we all stopped looking at relaxation as a want and started looking at as a need.

Because when your stress levels are managed,
and you carve out time to rest,
shifts begin to happen.

If you’re looking for some support with nervous system regulation please get in touch.

Because you deserve to rest 🤎

With love,
Kate

It’s been a little while since I properly reintroduced myself here,
so hello again 🤎

I’m Kate, the heart behind Rooted in Rest - a space for nervous system healing, Reiki, and ASMR therapy here in Auchterarder Perthshire.

I created this space after realising how many of us are tired in ways sleep can’t fix.
Our bodies might be resting, but our minds are still on high alert - running on “what’s next” instead of “what’s now.”

Through Reiki and intuitive healing, I help you return to that quiet place within - the one that remembers what calm feels like.

Clients often tell me:

“This is the most relaxed I’ve ever felt.”
“I can finally breathe deeply again.”
“My mind went silent for the first time in years.”

That’s the transformation I hold space for - not an escape, but a coming home to yourself.

So if your body has been whispering for stillness, or you’ve been craving a reset that reaches beneath the surface, this is your reminder:
you don’t have to do it alone.

✨ I have limited Reiki and ASMR therapy sessions available for the next couple of weeks in Auchterarder so if you’re feeling the pull please get in touch.
Send me a DM to book - your nervous system will thank you.

With love,
Kate x

This week’s self-care tip is simple but deeply nourishing:
Trade stimulation for warmth.

Instead of pushing through the afternoon slump with caffeine or screens, make yourself a grounding ritual - a warm drink, soft light, maybe even a few quiet minutes with your phone in another room.

Let your nervous system catch up with the change in season.

Warmth is medicine for regulation - it tells the body, “You’re safe now.”

A hot bath with magnesium salts, reading a book with a hot water bottle in bed… these small rituals send signals of safety through your whole system.

You don’t have to do more to feel better this season.
You just have to listen closer. 🤍

If you’re looking for support to rest please get in touch to book Reiki or ASMR light touch therapy

With love,

Kate

Spiritual Symbols in Reiki Part 2: The Owl 🦉

Every now and then during a Reiki session, an owl appears in my mind’s eye or as a vision for my client.
Sometimes it’s a gentle flutter of wings… other times it’s the stillness of their gaze.

Whenever they show up, I know there’s a message of wisdom and deep intuition waiting to be heard.

The owl’s medicine is quiet but powerful.
It helps us see what’s hidden - the truths that live beneath the surface of our busy minds.

In a healing session. when an owl energy comes through, it often means you’re moving through a time of inner knowing - a shedding of illusions, a return to trusting yourself.

The owl invites you to close your eyes and listen deeper.

Sometimes it comes through as a reminder to observe, instead of act - to turn inward instead of project.

To stop searching for answers outside yourself and remember that the guidance you’re seeking is already within you. What lesson can you learn from the external triggers?

These messages aren’t random - they’re symbols that meet you exactly where you are.

So if the owl finds its way into your dreams, your meditations, or your healing sessions…
take it as a sign that you’re ready to see clearly again. 🤍

And if you’d like to experience a healing session - please get in touch, I have only 3 spaces left for the week.

With love,

Kate x

The days are shorter now.
The air a little crisper.
The light fading earlier each night.

This is the season where nature whispers what our bodies already know -
it’s time to slow down.

Autumn asks us to release what’s been heavy, to ground deeper, to rest in the dark without rushing to fix or bloom.

Reiki is one of my favourite ways to honour that rhythm - a moment to pause, clear the energy you’ve been carrying, and let your nervous system reset.

Whether you’ve been feeling tired, overstimulated, or just craving quiet, this is your reminder:
you don’t have to wait until burnout to rest.

I have a few Reiki appointments available this week:

Mon 4-6pm
Wed 4:15-5pm or 7pm
Thur 4:45pm

soft light, warm blankets, deep calm.

🌙 Come home to yourself before the year ends.

✨ DM me to book your Reiki session, I’d love to hold space for you. 🤎
