⚕️ Palliative care is about managing symptoms of an illness so that the person can live 'well enough.'
Obviously, curing their illness is the surest route to wellness, so more often than not 'palliation' happens because cure can't.
But not always.

For example:
🏥 Specialists in palliative care who work in cancer centres regularly advise about minimising side effects of cancer treatment, including for patients who are likely to be cured by their treatment. Palliation of symptoms reduces the chances they'll miss treatments.
🩺 My work prior to retirement included regular involvement in the post-op care of people on surgical wards for curative treatment. Minimising their post-op symptoms reduced delays in moving on to chemo or radiotherapy, increasing their chance of cure.

❌️ It's a pity the meaning of palliative care has become entangled with end of life care. Both are very important, but they are not the same thing.

🤔 Not every dying person needs a palliative care consultation. Not every palliative care patient is dying.

💰 The intricacies of funding also confuse palliative with EoL care. Some insurance programmes don't differentiate them. Some palliative care charity fundraising emphasises care of dying people, possibly to simplify the message, but this undermines the value of early palliation.

🥀 Perhaps if we were less wary about public discussion of incurable conditions, we would see better uptake of early palliative care to improve quality of living with heart, lung, kidney, liver & nervous system diseases as well as cancer.

🌞 You all know I'm passionate about getting dying right. But that's so much more likely to happen if we've got living right beforehand.
🧡 Palliative care.
💜 End of Life care.
Partners, but not twins.

The difference matters.

Pass it on.

The time is drawing close when we will be able to create a path to a new normality and with that therapists will be able to offer a safe space for clients to dwell within for a time, whilst they recover their physical, emotional and spiritual selves after such an arduous year for everyone. It will be a welcome relief for those who have previously relied on these sessions and also for therapists whose life purpose is to offer such a space.

I have been privileged to be part of this work over recent years and in that I have learned so much from those who were gracious enough to allow me to hold that space for them. I discovered it wasn’t about the skills I learned or the awards I won, it was about the beautiful beings who allowed me to hold the light for them whilst they found their way back to themselves. And for that I can only ever be grateful.

Recent months have generated change within myself and also my anchor, Oracle Healing Suite. From my initial accident in 2019, which hindered my ability to support clients to Covid-19 in March 2020 which completely withdrew this space from those who needed it for so long... but also the personal turmoil brought with this time from the loss of our home, our dignity and so the essence of our being.

As we enter the coming months we are choosing to rest as a family and to recover ourselves as a unit and as individuals. In that I have decided to allow Oracle Healing Suite to rest for a while,too.

She will always have a beating heart but as I move forward I do not know how she will develop or what form she will take and, as all businesses and projects follow the energy and dynamic of its creator, so she will follow my transition as and when it arises. Until then I will not be offering any more sessions.

As we evolve parts of our existence fall away for the season and often rejoin later on in the journey and this is something I have chosen to embrace and, although difficult in many respects, in the long term will benefit this time of change for myself and my family and also the space I am trusted with to help others.

Love & light 🙏🏻

The only person I trust for advice re CBD therapy

One of the most common concerns I hear from the majority of people who come to me for help and guidance on their cannabis journey is that they want to get better but they don't want to 'get high'

Now - there's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to get high or even being high (being high has its benefits) BUT not everyone wants to feel that way.

Not everyone can cope with feeling that way.

Most of the people needing my help, need to maintain their lives - work, children and busy lifestyles mean that getting 'high' all day is not an option.

Thankfully - you don't have to be high to be healed.

CBD is the antidote to THC so to speak - the more CBD you can consume, the more THC you'll be able to tolerate - thus aiding your recovery sooner (depending on ailment)

There are MANY ways to help alliviate the psychoactive effects of THC and during a consultation with me, I'll take you through the various ways of ensuring you're getting what you need, whilst maintaining the quality of life that you so desire.

It's ALL about quality of life and finding YOUR balance ✌️
