🪽 One Last Angelic Reiki Space; From My Heart 🪽

One rare, last-minute space has opened for my upcoming Angelic Reiki Level I & II training in one weeks time 🤍
My heart is speaking to me: asking that I offer this space to one beautiful soul who has been feeling the call but perhaps thought it wasn’t possible.

This is a fully immersive 2.5 day experience, with attunements, guided practice, and gentle support to step into your Angelic Reiki journey with confidence. This training will allow you to heal not only yourself and your loved ones, but allow you to immediately become a practitioner if you wish to.

I am offering this space on a pay-what-you-can sliding scale, with the usual fee of £288. This price is already highly competitive as I truly do this work to share this healing modality that has changed my life.

There are options of £234, £180, or as low as £135: all of which aligning with the energy of Angelic Reiki, with the digits adding up to 9.
I please ask and trust that you are honest in your exchange.

This is an offering from my soul, to welcome anyone who feels drawn and ready to receive. If this speaks to you, please DM me to claim this space: it truly feels meant for the right soul.

This week’s 𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘 𝙩𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨 at Carlisle Therapies have been just… aaaahhh... In my guest’s words: “𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘥𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘧𝘶𝘭.”
And truly… it was!💖💖💖

I feel like I’m falling in love all over again with this side of my work...❤️😍❤️

The quiet, sacred moments... The soft sighs...
The way the body melts, the heart opens, and something ancient finally gently exhales...💖💖
It truly is such a privilege to witness. Holding space for my holistic guests fills me with such deep gratitude.🙏💖

And it made me wonder…
✨ 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘢𝘴𝘵 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘠𝘖𝘜 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧?

This month’s special offering is the 𝗣𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 - a 𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘧𝘶𝘭, 𝘯𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘺 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘣𝘰𝘥𝘺, 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘭 ❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️

We begin by sipping 𝙬𝙖𝙧𝙢 𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙚𝙖 to gently open the heart, 𝙘𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙖𝙪𝙧𝙞𝙘 𝙛𝙞𝙚𝙡𝙙 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚. You’re then invited to surrender into 𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙘 𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙥𝙚𝙨 and channeled 𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙖𝙜𝙚, opening you to 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 at the deepest level.❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️

𝙍𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙯 𝙘𝙧𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙨 rest gently on your body as 𝘿𝙞𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙚 𝙍𝙚𝙞𝙠𝙞 flows, and a 𝙨𝙤𝙤𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙖𝙜𝙚 eases your mind, and 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙢𝙚𝙨 and 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙧𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙡 𝙥𝙮𝙧𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙙 guide you into a state of floating bliss. A 𝙜𝙪𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙚-𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣, allowing 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙥𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙞𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙘𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜.

Deeply nourishing. Pure bliss. 🌹💖

Did you know that “FREE” acupuncture treatments might be available to you? Have you checked your health insurance policy?

So often hear, “I didn’t realise I could claim acupuncture back!”

This time of year I get a flurry of people booking in for acupuncture before their annual health insurance renewal.

Many people have health cash plans provided by their employed that sit unused.

Not all acupuncturists are covered as you have to be registered with a regulatory body, which I am – the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC). They list providers such as Axa, Health Shield and Simply health on their website here:

https://acupuncture.org.uk/about-acupuncture/private-healthcare/

How it works:

- check your policy
- book and pay for your acupuncture session
- I provide you a receipt with my BAcC
member number
- you send this to your health insurer and they reimburse you.

Simple! For more information on my acupuncture treatments you can visit my website here:
