Would you like to find more peace, calm and centredness in your life and reconnect to You? Would you like to learn how to channel healing energy for yourself, friends and family, pets and plants? If so, you may like to attend my next Reiki Level 1 Course on Fri 23rd January or Sat 21st February in East Leake, south Notts.

Reiki is a gentle but powerful hands-on healing modality channelling universal life force energy to promote balance and harmony on all levels of your being. The Reiki Level 1 attunement opens you up to a whole new world of energy and vibration. The focus at this level is self-healing, helping you to gain greater self-awareness, reduce negative emotional patterns and help you achieve greater control over your life and yourself. At Reiki 1 you become a channel for the healing energy to help bring peace and relaxation to yourself and others. Reiki stimulates the immune system, eases aches and pains and promotes healing in the body. It brings greater contentment and self-empowerment.

I am a Reiki Master Healer/Teacher with over 20 years experience teaching Reiki and giving treatments, both in-person and distance. Reiki helped me grow from a young woman suffering with anxiety and low self-esteem who was lost and lacking in purpose and direction to living a life of contentment and fulfilment where I support others on their healing journey. I am truly living my vocation. Reiki helps you let go of what no longer serves you, releasing the past and inspiring you to move forwards at the right pace for you to where you are meant to be.

If you’d like to hear more about how Reiki can change your life, here is some lovely feedback from one of my Reiki students:-

“I booked the Reiki Level 1 course with Helen as I knew I wanted to eventually offer Reiki treatments professionally. I wasn’t sure what to expect but the whole experience has truly opened my eyes to a whole new world, and I feel I’ve experienced a deeper connection to higher energies.
During the course I was attuned to the reiki energy. Instantly I felt heat in my hands that was unexplainable! We were also taught how to give ourselves Reiki self-healing and it has truly been life changing! I now give myself Reiki every day. I feel calmer and able to handle very intense life situations with ease. I was diagnosed with depression this year and at the time I attended the course I was taking anti-depressants, I have decided I no longer need to take these as the Reiki is helping my mind. It’s been a month since being off them and I have never felt better. I have more energy than ever, and my house has never been so clean and organised and it’s all because my mind is! I have also stopped smoking! After experiencing the self-healing Reiki, I would recommend this to everyone! I don’t feel its expressed enough that you can do Reiki on yourself but I believe it is a tool that everyone must have to be their best and happiest self. Thanks again Helen, I’m so very grateful.”

“Peace is the way.
Through peace we hear the little voice of wisdom within that guides us to our truth.
Through peace we find our power.
To heal and grow you must make peace with what is.”

When we tune in and listen to what is in our heart, we hear and honour our true feelings. The voice within knows what is right for us and what needs to change. When we acknowledge this truth, things start to shift.

In my Winter Gathering event on Sat 31st Jan I will guide you to find the place of peace within for healing, insight and guidance through shamanic drumming, spiritual healing and guided insight meditation to connect you more deeply with your intuition. We will also include a short ritual to send your hopes and dreams for the year ahead out into the universe.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me by email, tel or DM me via this page if you’d like to book a place. X

Over the last 2 weeks I’ve been so grateful to reconnect to the feeling of peace within. Having time off over the Christmas and New Year period has been a wonderful opportunity to relax, unwind and go within. As a result I’ve connected more deeply to my soul and spirit guides and have identified what needs to be released, changed or brought in to my business going forward. My channelling abilities have come back on board big time and next week I will be updating my website with new/revised spiritual readings. After months of confusion and overwhelm, I’m just asking Spirit to guide me each day and letting myself be led to what feels right.

Peace is often under-rated in our world but is one of the most valuable assets we possess. We need peace in all areas of our life in order to thrive. Peace of mind goes hand in hand with positive mental health. This year I am resolving to make more time for myself, to release the need to ‘do’ more and to just ‘be’ more.

It’s so worthwhile to come out of our heads and into our hearts. In this place your soul will tell you what it needs. All the answers really are within. x

Would you like a healing session but don’t want to venture outside in the freezing cold weather? Why not try a distance session, remotely or online? No need to wait for the warmer weather!

I offer 1/2 hr distance Reiki sent to you at a mutually convenient time for you to receive in the comfort of your own home for just £30 with feedback provided afterwards. Distance Reiki can be just as powerful as a hands-on session and is a wonderful way to regain balance, peace and harmony.

Angelic Reiki and Quantum healing sessions (£50) can be held in Zoom or via Whatsapp video call.

Please don’t hesitate to contact me by email helenshortland@live.co.uk,tel/text 07748 591690 or DM me via this page if you’d like to arrange one for yourself! x

Are you constantly tired, burnt out and stressed? When your nervous system is constantly ‘wired’ and your mind is too busy to calm down, one of the first things that suffers is your sleep, so you end up in a vicious cycle of exhaustion.
Holistic therapy is a wonderful support if you are experiencing pain, stress, emotional overwhelm or navigating difficult life changes.

I’m Helen, a Holistic Therapist, Reiki Master Healer/Teacher and Meditation Teacher based in East Leake, south Notts. I offer a range of energy healing and holistic therapies to help you unwind and rebalance, release tension and soothe your nervous system so that your body can begin to heal and feel more energised. You may benefit from Reiki to calm your mind and soothe your emotions or you may prefer the more hands-on approach of Reflexology to balance the different systems of the physical body. You will gradually begin to feel stronger, more positive, more grounded and balanced.

Please don’t hesitate to email, tel or DM me to book your session or find out more.
