This Sunday, the 15 March we celebrate Mothers for all that they do and give. So often what they do goes unnoticed and unappreciated, yet they hold so much within a family. Why not treat your Mum or get your family to treat you if you're a Mum to a relaxing treatment to tend to your needs and top yourself up.
And for those who may not have had a nurturing mothering experience, you could choose to be the Mother to your inner child, and give yourself what you would have liked to receive.
There are a few different options for you to choose from.
If you would like a voucher, comment or DM me and a voucher will be emailed to you.
The voucher will include a FREE gift for Mum when she comes for her appointment. *
*One gift per person. Vouchers to be paid upfront before being emailed to qualify for free gift.
Appointments to be booked before end of May 2026.
With love,
Gina

Just a reminder.... ๐ชท
You are just as important as everyone else, so why do you neglect yourself?
You probably wouldn't think twice about helping out a friend or supporting someone you love.
How often do you ask yourself "What do I need today?"
There has to be balance between giving and receiving.
Allow yourself to receive.
Have fun.
Be playful.
Know that you deserve to feel nourished.
How can you support yourself and your needs today?

When you've pushed yourself too hard and ignored the subtle signs, it can feel like you literally hit a wall.
Moving feels like an effort.
Breathing feels like an effort.
This is your body telling you to STOP!
It's up to you to Listen.
On Saturday, I hit the wall. I had been getting up early to have stillness and study before everyone else got up and it had caught up with me. I had a list of things I wanted to get done but the Sun was shining and I knew I had to be out in it to recharge myself.
So I listened. We headed off to Dartmoor for a walk in nature and I felt myself come back to life. I was getting out of my head and reconnecting with what I needed. I was listening to my inner guidance.
That night I felt energised, like I was ready to go again.
Even when you feel like you don't have time to rest or do something nourishing for yourself, do it anyway. You can't keep going if you're empty.
What will you do for yourself today?
(It doesn't have to be something big) Let me know, I'd love to hear.
I watched the sunrise ๐ and am about to have a Cacao โ๏ธ.

If you just aren't feeling yourself, you're stuck in your head worrying and overthinking, are busy but aren't managing to find time for yourself to rest as you put everyone else's needs first, your energy levels are low and you feel like you're running on empty, your body has aches and pains, you feel emotional over the slightest thing and your motivation and joy in life seems to have gone on vacation.
Let me help you.
I offer a path back to calm, balance, and self connection through holistic healing and mindset support.
A Reflexology treatment will help to boost your immune system, ease aches and pains, relax and calm your mind helping you feel centred and present and in your body, balance hormonal issues and improve sleep. It can also help to regulate a dysregulated nervous system. I can also support you in interpreting what your body is trying to communicate if you are experiencing discomfort in certain areas of your body or specific health issues and offer advice to help restore the balance.
Let me help you Come home to yourself.
I would love to welcome you to my Healing Sanctuary Therapy space to relax, recharge and restore balance.
Burnout can seem to come out of nowhere if you aren't paying attention. There are usually signs that warn you though.
Some things I notice:
๐ผ Aching and pain in my upper back
๐ผ Sighing through pursed lips on the outbreath
๐ผ Body feeling heavy
๐ผ Mental fatigue
๐ผ Low energy
On the rare occasion (in the UK) at the moment that the sun is shining, it feels so healing and grounding to go outside and sit with my face in the sun's rays.
So where ever you are, if the sun is shining and you are feeling the signs of burnout and exhaustion. Perhaps you've been pushing yourself a little too hard and everything has caught up with you. Take a moment, stop, breathe, let the healing sun shine on you and Just Be. ๐
Sending you love โค๏ธ

What if your symptoms were invitations to slow down, rather than problems to fix?
Your body wants to be well and will try and get your attention when you have lost your balance.
How do you respond? Do you listen or do you head to the GP or pharmacy to get some medication to stop the symptoms?
Giving yourself a little more care, more rest, more hydration, eating healthier foods, moving in a way that feels good to you, having more fun, nourishing yourself to top yourself up, allowing yourself to slow down and take a breathe, supports your body.
Symptoms are there as a guide. They usually slow you down, because that's probably what you need.
If you need help figuring out what your body is trying to say, DM me. I'd be happy to help. ๐

If you're feeling tired but wired your mind is probably feeling very busy, thinking of all the things you have to do.
You may find yourself going faster, trying to be more productive so you can get everything off your to do list.
The problem is time speeds up too and you find yourself at the end of your day, feeling exhausted.
Only to find that you can't sleep as you're struggling to switch off. Or you manage to have a fitful sleep and wake up feeling tired and not ready for another day. Sound familiar?
The solution is simple.
Slow down.
Take a breathe from your belly.
Feel yourself in your body.
Come back to your centre.
If you feel stuck and could do with some help, DM me. I'd love to help.

It's been a while since I've been in this space. This year has been a rather tumultuous one, resulting in me pulling back to focus on inner healing and keeping my head above water as I navigated my personal challenges and held space for my daughter, getting through GCSE's and starting college with severe anxiety. I have pushed through and kept going, even when I had nothing left.
This year has brought some of the most painful experiences I have ever had to go through, but they were necessary for my growth. We learn and grow the most through difficult experiences.
Today, on the 11:11 portal, I had a rare morning alone at home as both kids were out and I had plans for what I was going to do in that time. The Universe however had other plans and I am so grateful that I listened.
I woke up with zero energy and didn't feel right. I really wanted to get some work done while I had some quiet space, but my Intuition was strongly telling me to STOP. To STOP pushing and to Surrender and Allow. I decided to listen and am so grateful I did.
Instead, I made myself a cacao, anchored myself with Bergamot essential oil, did a card reading and did an activation breathing meditation from , which was so powerful. It brought me back to my centre and my body. I could feel my cells vibrating with energy and resetting me.
It also unlocked my creativity and allowed me to map out something I wanted to create. All thanks to following my Inner guidance instead of doing what I thought I should be doing.
The moral of this story ....
Pay attention to how you feel and trust the guidance that is whispering to you. Trust and Allow. Release control and watch what manifests.
Sending you love and light on this powerful day.

DISCOVER THE POWER OF PLANT MEDICINE ๐ฑ
I have used essential oils for decades to support my family and my clients and have always loved the power of natures medicine. A few years ago I met Emily Mascarenhas and was introduced to dลTERRA essential oils at a workshop she held. I brought the Home essentials kit, which contains the 10 core essential oils to support pretty much anything. I was blown away with how powerful these oils are compared to what I had used previously.
As they are genuinely 100% pure, tested, therapeutic grade oils, you usually only need 1 or 2 drops depending on what you are using them for so they do last a lot longer and are a lot more powerful that what you may be using.
These oils are now our medicine cabinet and everyone in my family now turns to them for support with their health and wellbeing. Even my 19 year old, who used to think I was really weird with all my lotions and potions and 'natural remedies' comes to me for oil recommendations when she isn't feeling well or is struggling with painful periods, because they work.
There are a couple of oil classes being held this week, which I thought I would share, in case you are interested in learning more about how these oils can support you and your families as we head into the cooler months. They can be used on babies all the way through to the elderly, the dilution just varies.
There is also an opportunity to get some beautiful FREE oils if you place an order before Friday 31 October, for new customers. Either through the workshops or reaching out to me for a link.
Any questions, please reach out to me.

I am a Therapeutic Reflexologist and Meridian Practitioner with 20 years experience and work from home in Crediton.
If you are struggling with health issues, whether physical or mental, I am here to help you.
I hold a compassionate, sacred space where you feel seen, heard, and supported. Where itโs safe to be real and honest, even vulnerable. Where you can slow down long enough to hear your own inner guidance โ because everything you need is already within you.
Feel free to contact me for a chat or to book an appointment.
Be the first to know and let us send you an email when Journey into Healing posts news and promotions. Your email address will not be used for any other purpose, and you can unsubscribe at any time.
My journey on the path of natural health and wellness began when I was 21 having ended up bed ridden for a week without the energy to lift my head or get up. I was eventually diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and became extremely sensitive to the effect of allopathic medication.
Back then I was constantly stressed, lived in the fast lane, pushed myself beyond my limits, constantly striving for perfection, not too concerned with diet but more with convenience. I look back at this illness and the tough times I went through and am grateful for the learning and the understanding that I have gained from it. I experienced the effect of depression and the side effects of anti-depressants, the effect of systemic Candida and having to cut almost everything out of my diet so my body could heal. Wanting to try and stay in control, I wanted to push on but my body wanted to rest. It was only when I stopped fighting with myself and once I realised that I had the power to change the way I thought and how I felt that I was able to turn things around and to start healing. I took responsibility for my own health.
During my illness, Reflexology was hugely beneficial offering me time for myself to just Be and helping my body on its journey back to health. In 2003, I had a feeling to just let go and that everything would be alright. I resigned from my job, not knowing what I was going to do but knew that I needed a break from corporate life. I felt a weight come off my shoulders and felt totally at peace.
As soon as I let go and trusted my life fell into place, I met my husband and decided that I needed to study Reflexology so that I could help others. I am truly passionate about Reflexology and the benefits that it offers. I started a 2 year diploma in South Africa in Reflexology and Meridian Therapy with Inge Dougans in 2004 and qualified at the end of 2005 Cum Laude (top 3) and started my practise straight away. Using the Chinese Meridians and Elements as an assessment tool is invaluable in getting to the cause of the imbalance, the symptoms are merely warning signals that the body is out of balance.
I love seeing the changes in my clients as their symptoms improve or disappear altogether. I feel privileged to be able to play a part in their journey towards health and happiness. Although I work with all conditions I do have a special interest and passion in working with infertility, pregnancy, labour, babies and children. I am an advocate for holistic birthing having had three water births, two of which were home births. Having a home birth was the most amazing experience of my life.
In 2008 I studied Reiki energy healing as well as Shiatsu head, neck and shoulder massage, which is a Japanese massage working the meridians and acupressure points done while sitting in a chair. I intend to study Naturopathy in the near future and am also a strong believer in Homeopathy, which is all I use to treat my family.
I believe in a holistic approach and looking at the whole picture (body, mind, emotions, spirit) to ascertain where the weak areas are and then making recommendations to help strengthen those areas. I also use my intuition to guide me in order to give the best possible treatment.
