I’m excited to share that I’m now introducing Indian Head Massage as part of my therapeutic offering. It complements Reiki beautifully so can be given alongside or on its own.

This soothing treatment focuses on releasing tension in the head, neck, shoulders and face, areas where we often carry the weight of our worries.

Benefits include:
👐 ease headaches and tightness
👐 improves circulation and energy flow
👐 melts away stress and calms the nervous system
👐 leaves you feeling deeply relaxed

Can’t wait to share with you 🙏

As parents, you naturally want to protect your children from every upset and disappointment. But life is full of ups and downs – and one of the greatest gifts you can give your children is RESILIENCE – the ability to cope, adapt and grow stronger through challenges.

Looking back my I had zero resilience as a child and that hugely impacted my ability to cope with life, problem solve and recover from adversity.

Here are some gentle ways to build your child’s resilience every day:

🫶 Let them feel their feelings. Instead of rushing to make it all better, listen and validate: “I can see that really upset you. It’s okay to feel sad.”
🫶Teach calm coping. A few slow breaths together, a cuddle, or going for a walk – it shows them how to soothe big feelings.
🫶Encourage problem-solving. Ask, “What do you think might help?” rather than always giving the answer. This builds confidence and independence.
🫶Focus on effort, not just success. Praise their courage, kindness and perseverance – not just the “win.”
🫶Model resilience yourself. When they see you coping calmly with life’s bumps, they learn they can too.

Children might not LISTEN to everything you say but they will MODEL your behaviour.

Resilient children aren’t those who never fall – they’re the ones who know they can get back up, with your love and support by their side.

What do you do to help your child feel strong and capable? Let me know 😊

Sharing Reiki yesterday with a year 11 pupil whose anxiety manifests as tics.

When she arrived for her first appointment, it was quite clear how unsure and nervous she was, which was very understandable. It was such a pleasure to see her, therefore, emerge from the session in a very different state. She was smiling and chatting and said how much she enjoyed it and how good it felt. Tension had melted away and she looked so much calmer.

Reiki isn't a quick fix. Symptoms have taken months, maybe more, to become ingrained so it takes time and patience for Reiki to work its gentle magic. It's like a comfort blanket that feels secure and soothing.

After her fourth appointment now she can feel the gently profound difference it is making. Each session builds on the previous one allowing for a deeper state of relaxation. Reiki allows the body to remember it does know how to feel calm.

Reiki calms the nervous system by:

1. allowing the body to relax deeply; “you’re safe now.”
2. touch (or even no-touch) reassures the body energetically
3. energy unblocking = flow = less tension
3. slows brainwaves — hello alpha and theta states
4. emotional releasing without needing to “figure It out”

Reiki gently encourages energy to move again — like smoothing out tangled wool. And when the energy begins to flow, the nervous system softens alongside it.

It's amazing how people will project on to you, call you names and get ruffled feathers when you pop your boundaries and assertiveness in to place.

Always remember, it's never about you, but always about them.
They refuse to accept personal responsibility. More often that not, they are in denial about their behaviour and their actions.

For them, it's far easier to name call, project and be vile than to accept that they couldn't possibly be doing anything wrong.

Keep your head up. Stand strong in your beliefs and don't let them get you down!

Reiki can be a real balm for the heart and soul, especially when it comes to your mental and emotional wellbeing.

Reiki promotes a state of deep relaxation. Like that lovely, floaty feeling after a warm bath or being wrapped up in a duvet while it's raining outside. Reelaxation that helps to quieten the mind, reduces anxiety, and soothes your overworked fight-or-flight response that’s constantly being triggered in modern life.

You don't have to understand how Reiki works. It just does 👐

As I take time to reflect on the three years since starting my business; Love-Reiki, there's much to consider. How difficult it's been to put myself out there at times but it is getting easier. How easy it is to compare yourself with others on social media and end up going down a rabbit warren of despair. Whatever obstacle I push through there's always another one waiting. How easy it is to lose confidence, faith and hope etc.

What I never forget is my "why". How retraining to become a Reiki therapist helped me overcome ,and come to terms with, a lifetime of mental struggles, particularly those I experienced back in 2016. When redundancy, bereavement and menopause almost destroyed me and that's no over-exaggeration. For a long time I was broken. I had to put myself back together, very, very slowly. When you go through something like that it changes you profoundly. I felt so raw, exposed and vulnerable. When I did recover I was so grateful to be able to smile again.

Now I use my experience to help others; women, as well as children, and young people. By helping others, I help myself. When clients step inside my Reiki room, they find solace, as I do. Peace, tranquility and a soothing atmosphere that restores and recharges the soul 🫶

Each and every testimonial I have received over the three years means so much. This is the latest one. It is all the recognition I need to continue planting seeds for Love-Reiki and watching it grow.

As the countdown begins towards those dreaded exams, Reiki can be a wonderful support for teenagers feeling anxious about exams. The pressure to perform, the fear of failure, and the overwhelm of revision can take a toll on their mental and emotional wellbeing.

Reiki helps by:

🌿 Calming the Nervous System
🧠 Clearing Mental Clutter
😌 Easing Emotional Overwhelm
🌙 Improving Sleep
💪 Boosting Self-Belief

Reiki doesn’t replace studying, of course, but it can be a powerful ally in reducing stress and supporting overall well-being 👐 A more relaxed student is a happier student! You don't have to understand how Reiki works. It just does 🙂

MY WORRY JAR

I have a worry
that fills my mind
it feels heavy
it won't go away
and sometimes makes my tummy ache
and sometimes makes me go quiet

A worry is a thought
that I can share
if I can share my worry
I will feel better
If I write my worry down
It won't feel so big
If I tell someone my worry
it will feel smaller
if I say my worry out loud
others will hear my worry
and be able to help

Others want to help me with my worry
they want to help me find an answer to my worry
they might even know the answer to my worry
they might even have the same worry
they might have bigger worries than me

We all have worries
we need to share them
who do I want to share my worry with today
My mum, my dad, my teacher, my friend
Imagine no more worries

I'd say anxiety SUCKS. The tummy aches. The feelings of dread. The longing for it to go away. How vulnerable it makes children feel. How it affects everything; school life, home life, confidence, concentration., self-esteem.

If anxiety is preventing your child from feeling their best, Reiki offers a gentle, therapeutic approach for releasing tension from the nervous system, where anxiety is stored, and restoring their sense of wellbeing. Your child deserves to thrive in childhood not be weighed down by worries.

You don't have to understand how Reiki works. It just does 🙂

Curious to know more. Happy to chat about how it can help your child. With my 3For2 ongoing offer 🫶 there is a way forward for all children.
