If you're feeling stressed out, exhausted, out of balance and out of sorts, Reiki works wonders to help you come back to You, find peace and calm, re-energise and clear the heaviness that's been hanging around your aura like a lead weight.

Treatments available in East Leake, south Notts Mon-Fri with occasional Saturday afternoons. 1/2 hr Distance Reiki sessions available if you can't come to me in-person. Please don't hesitate to contact me by DM or email helenshortland@live.co.uk if I can help. x

Tarot message that will resonate with some of you!
You are not lost; you're just moving through a period of uncertainty.

Are you suffering with blocked nose, facial pressure, headaches, post-nasal drip, ear fullness, brain fog?

As we move into hay fever season, some people find their enjoyment of the lovely weather spoilt with the symptoms of hay fever. When the sinuses are congested, we automatically assume it's a problem with the sinuses when in actual fact it could be your Lymph.

Although our nasal passages and sinuses can become more sensitive at this time of year, it's useful to know that sinuses don’t drain on their own - they rely on your lymphatic system. So when lymphatic flow slows down or stagnates, the sinuses back up.

A good lymphatic drainage massage to the face and neck can stimulate lymphatic flow to boost your immune system to cope better with any unwanted invaders such as pollen. Hopi Ear Candles can also soothe your nasal passages and sinuses as well as helping to regular pressure in the inner ear canal.

If you're someone who suffers at this time of year, why not try a Lymphatic Drainage Facial Massage or Ear Candling treatment? Please contact me for details.

You can't force a higher frequency.
Just thinking high vibe isn't enough; you have to clear out the heavy lower vibration stuff that's weighing you down so you can shift energetically and embody the new energy. We have to do the inner work first.
We all have a shadow self - the part that needs healing - and all have what Eckhart Tolle calls the 'pain body', the part of us that stores all our emotional wounds and subconscious fears. It's only through facing and acknowledging these parts and moving through them with breath work and energy healing that we can grow.

In my Frequency Shift event, we'll be using breath-work to shift heavy emotions and clear your energy field before we bring in Quantum healing energy and activate your soul power to raise your frequency. We'll end by putting your intentions into the Quantum field with creative visualisation to manifest your goals. This is an online event for a small group of max 6 people.

If you'd like to join this online event, please DM, email or text to book your place.

Do you feel constantly anxious, wired and stressed?

Most of us spend our days in a state of ‘high alert’ without even realising it. Our adrenal glands, those tiny powerhouses that sit at the top of our kidneys, are constantly pumping out cortisol to help us manage emails, traffic, work and family demands and endless to-do lists.

When these glands are overworked, you might feel "wired but tired" or find it impossible to truly relax and get a good night’s sleep.

In Reflexology, we look at the feet as a picture of the nervous system. The adrenal reflex point (highlighted in the image) is a vital gateway. By applying precise, rhythmic pressure here, we aren't just "massaging a foot", we are sending a direct signal to the brain that it is safe to relax and release tension.

Stimulating this point helps transition the body from the Sympathetic (fight or flight) nervous system state into the Parasympathetic (rest and digest) state. It’s about more than just relaxation; it’s about recalibrating your internal neuro-chemistry.

Try this tonight: If you feel a surge of evening anxiety, find this point on your own foot. Use your thumb to press firmly and make small, slow circles for 60 seconds while taking deep breaths.

If you’d like to book a Reflexology treatment with me, I will work the adrenal point in addition to other reflex points relating to the nervous system to support deeper relaxation.

True restoration begins when we listen to what the feet are telling us about the body.
