What is holistic therapy?

Holistic therapy is an approach to health and wellbeing that looks at the whole person — not just symptoms or a single condition. It considers how your mind, body, emotions, lifestyle, and environment all work together.

It’s often used alongside conventional treatments, not as a replacement. It’s always important to speak with your GP before starting any new therapies, especially if you’re taking medication.

At its heart, holistic therapy aims to:
• Improve overall wellbeing• Support the management of chronic conditions

Common holistic therapies include:
• Reflexology
• Energy healing
• CBT
• EFT
• Acupuncture
• Meditation & mindfulness
• Crystal therapy
• Aromatherapy
…and so much more

How does it work alongside modern medicine?

Modern medicine (like prescription medication) is often:
• Fast-acting
• Targeted at specific symptoms or conditions

Holistic approaches, on the other hand:
• Focus on long-term wellbeing
• May help ease things like stress or sleep difficulties
• Can support overall quality of life

For example, someone experiencing anxiety might be supported by medication such as Sertraline, while also exploring mindfulness, breathing techniques, or energy work.

Together, this can:
• Help manage symptoms
• Gently support underlying stress and lifestyle patterns

A balanced, combined approach can be incredibly powerful.
It’s also so important to choose a fully qualified and experienced practitioner — just as you would with any professional. Finding someone you feel comfortable with, who understands their scope of practice and when to refer on, makes all the difference. When used responsibly, Holistic Therapy works beautifully alongside modern medicine.

From my own experience, I’ve witnessed truly meaningful moments — from supporting people at the very beginning of life, to being present in their final days, helping bring comfort and peace. Even something as simple as being heard and supported can have a profound impact.

The goal isn’t “either/or” — it’s finding what works best for you.

Pets bring a sense of calm, unconditional love, and a reminder of what it means to be fully present.

As I sat in bed this morning, wondering what to write, my beautiful 11-month-old kitten, Basil, joined me—and in that moment, I found my answer: meditation.

As a meditation teacher, I often hear people say, “Oh, I can’t meditate. I can’t switch my mind off. My thoughts never stop.” And it’s true—thoughts don’t stop. Expecting them to would be like trying to stop breathing (unless you’ve spent years as a devoted monk in deep practice).

So why place that kind of pressure on yourself?

Yes, thoughts will come—reminders of things to do, worries, plans, distractions. That’s natural. The key is not to fight them, but to acknowledge them gently and let them pass, just for this brief moment.

Meditation is not about having a perfectly quiet mind. It’s about allowing yourself to be still, even amidst the noise. It’s about being fully present—not caught in the past or reaching into the future, but simply being.

And our pets show us how to do this effortlessly. They live in the here and now, without overthinking, without striving. In their presence, we are reminded that this moment is enough.
I’ve written a brief meditation that brings you into the here and now

Sit beside your pet and let the world quiet itself for a moment. Notice the rhythm of their breathing, steady and unhurried, unconcerned with what comes next. Their presence is simple, complete—there is no past to revisit, no future to anticipate, only this shared space between you.

Gently rest your attention on the small details: the softness of their fur, the warmth of their body, the subtle movements that show they are alive and here with you. If your mind begins to wander, return to them. Let them be your anchor.

Your pet does not ask you to be anything other than present. In their company, you are enough just as you are. Allow yourself to settle into that feeling—no striving, no fixing, no rushing.
Breathe in, and notice them.

Breathe out, and simply be here together.

For this moment, nothing else is needed.

What is Reflexology? It's NOT a foot massage, it's so much more...

I offer reflexology on the feet, hands, or face. Most people are familiar with foot reflexology, which in my experience is often the most responsive method. However, hand reflexology is a wonderful option for those who prefer not to have their feet touched.

Reflexology works by applying gentle pressure to specific zones, or reflexes, on the body. Each reflex corresponds to a particular organ or area of the body. Stimulating these reflexes encourages the body’s natural ability to heal, releasing energy blockages and restoring balance.

By addressing the whole person rather than just symptoms, reflexology supports overall well-being and helps maintain homeostasis—the natural equilibrium of mind, body, and spirit. It promotes mental, emotional, and physical balance, guiding the body back to a state of harmony and vitality.

These are the reflexology treatments I offer:
• Reflexology Lymphatic Drainage
• Reflexology with Crystals
• Reflexology with Angel Guidance
• Reflexology for Menopause
• Reflexology for those currently living with cancer or life-altering illness or in recovery.
• Reflexology with Reiki
• Combination treatment of Face and Foot or Hand Reflexology (total relaxation)

This is a brief section of a review written to me just last week. The lady was very nervous and uncertain whether I’d be able to help — these are her words.
“I highly recommend Kate. When I left I felt like I was walking on fluffy clouds all day! I feel like I've been touched by an angel with Kate's gentle hands, and I can't thank her enough.”

If you want to know more, or would like to attend a workshop or training, please check out my website www.angelicct.com or please feel free to send me a message. I love hearing and connecting with people and hope to see you soon, with love Kate ^i^ ###

Hi, this week I’d like to introduce myself and share a little about what I do.

I’m Kate—a healer, Angelic Practitioner, Angelic Reiki Master/Teacher, Usui Reiki Master/Teacher, professional reflexologist, and writer.

Over the course of this week, I’ll be sharing more about my work and the journey that led me here. I haven’t always done what I do now. I previously worked in the City as a project manager in the corporate world for many years. And yes, I did enjoy it—the long hours, the events, the social side (not to mention the salary). However, deep down, I knew I was on the wrong path. I couldn’t continue in that direction, but it took a life-threatening illness for me to truly wake up.

The universe has a way of stopping you in your tracks when you ignore the signs.

Now, as I sit here writing this, I feel incredibly fortunate. I truly love what I do. It’s more than a job—it’s a vocation, and I feel genuinely privileged to support and care for so many people.
Through healing, I treat each person on every occasion as a unique individual with specific needs, whether it's releasing stress, managing anxiety, improving general health and well-being, or caring for babies in the womb through to end-of-life care. In all aspects of my work, I treat the whole person by encouraging the body to balance, harmonise and heal itself across mind, body and soul.

I’d like to share a quote from a client: "After only 2 sessions with Kate, I have already placed her in the category of 'one of life's treasures.' Not only is she passionate about the healing process of her therapies, but her perception of what her client requires is quite astounding; combining therapies to achieve the best outcome."

I feel so lucky to do the “work” that I do. This review I received this morning moved me to tears ☺️ in a good way.

“I've always been intuitively and spiritually guided throughout my life, leading me to have my own holistic business, but ten years ago I experienced a life-changing spinal injury with chronic pain. The universe has guided me right now to met kate, having my first reflexology session with her last week.
The moment I entered Kate's beautiful therapy room I felt I had arrived home, back into this wonderful spiritual healing energy that had been missing in my life through so much pain.
As Kate knows herself, illness brings with it a plethora of issues, causing more dis-ease for the sufferer and those around them.
The treatment itself was intensely relaxing, as well as being so comfortable for me in her remarkable chair. Kate, is truly a professional with skilled knowledge from her training as a reflexologist, where her healing is combined making the session on another level entirely, treating me as a whole physically and spiritually, and not just my spine.

In just one session of lymphatic drainage, I've felt the benefit in my spiritual body, feeling full of light and happiness, and my physical body which feels lighter with the pain, as well my blood pressure.

I highly recommend Kate. When I left I felt like I was walking on fluffy clouds all day! I feel like I've been touched by an angel with Kate's gentle hands, and I can't thank her enough.”
