Don’t have time for self-care? 😮

In the chaos of everyday life, it’s easy to forget the most important relationship you have - the one with yourself 💚

Holistic therapies offer more than just relaxation - they are the perfect recipe to your body, mind, and spirit - naturally and gently.

We're all individual and have different needs and, at The Healing Tree, sessions are tailored to your wellbeing needs. An example of therapies you may enjoy and how they can support you are:

✨ Reiki – Rebalance your energy and restore emotional harmony
💆‍♀️ Therapeutic Massage – Relieve stress, tension, and chronic pain
🌊 Lymphatic Massage – Gently detoxify and support your immune system
🌺 Indian Head Massage – Soothe the nervous system and clear mental fog
🦶 Reflexology – Stimulate the body's natural healing from head to toe
🌸 Facial Reflexology – Refresh your skin and restore inner balance
🧠 Life Coaching – Gain clarity, set meaningful goals and reconnect with your purpose

These powerful, nurturing practices remind us: self-care isn’t a luxury - it’s essential 💗

✨Client Feedback … ✨

Clients often give the nicest feedback when chatting to them and finding out how they’re feeling and checking in as to how their sessions are helping them.

I thought I’d share just a few samples of feedback which doesn’t appear on my website or on Google, as it’s a more relaxed review by way of comments/feedback etc 💚

Feedback always helps shape a client’s treatment plan – what’s working, what they like, what we need to focus upon.

It’s a fluid way of working and so each session is bespoke as to what each clients needs at the time of their appointment.

If this sounds like a way of working you’re keen to explore … and I offer therapies you resonate with, or are curious to try … get in touch with The Healing Tree to discuss your next steps 👇

Your wellbeing journey starts with taking that first step for YOU 💗

Don’t keep pushing yourself down that priority list. The better you feel in yourself, the more energy you’ll have for other commitments in your life 🌟

‘Thank you’ 🙏✨

Two words I never take for granted and always appreciate, especially when they are spoken by my clients ❤️

Last week, one of my clients who no longer needs regular sessions, saw me going to my clinic room at the Maidstone Wellness Centre, and came to say hello and to say ‘thank you’ 😊

To see her full of energy and radiating happiness as she is now feeling back to her former self is both humbling and makes me so grateful to have pursued the holistic therapy route and get to do what I do every day 💜

This is what holistic therapies are about; as well as having a listening ear to support my clients too 💚 Holistic therapies work to bring your body into a place of balance – a place of harmony 🌟

We may work with the aim of relieving physical pain; or you may be feeling overwhelmed emotionally and mentally. The body reacts and responds to everything we deal with in life – good and not so good. If we aren’t able to let go and/or process some of these things, it can start to weigh us down, or manifest into physical ailments (think of how too much stress can affect the neck, back and shoulders, or we get frequent headaches or digestive issues) 😞

At The Healing Tree, we work together on your wellbeing journey – getting you back to how you want to be feeling 💜

We all deserve to be happy and living a life of joy. If you feel you’re holding onto ‘stuff’ you no longer need, have you ever considered holistic therapies as an option?

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to our health and wellbeing – it’s about what’s right for you at this point in time.

🌟 Did you know … massage is one of the oldest healing arts, dating back thousands of years?

As with many holistic therapies, records from ancient civilisations in Egypt, China and India refer to pressure therapy/massage, as well as reflexology.

Massage has stood the test of time for a reason ✨ Whether you’re looking to relax, reset, or relieve tension, massage is more than just a luxury - it’s science-backed self-care:

🧠 Reduces cortisol by up to 31%
→ Chronic stress is linked to inflammation, poor immunity & anxiety. Massage helps regulate your HPA axis response.

😊 Increases serotonin & dopamine levels by 28–31%
→ These neurotransmitters play key roles in mood regulation, pain perception & emotional wellbeing.

🩸 Improves circulation
→ Massage enhances local blood flow, which can speed up healing, reduce muscle soreness & support cardiovascular health.

🌿 Stimulates the lymphatic system
→ Gentle, rhythmic movements assist lymph flow, aiding detoxification, reducing fluid retention, and supporting immune function.

Massage, lymphatic massage, reflexology … and more!

The Healing Tree is here to support you on the next steps of your wellbeing journey 🙏

What will your next step be? 💚

We’re currently into the World Health Organisation’s Self-Care Month, with its theme being ‘Mind and Body’ 💗

Both are vital to our health and wellbeing and yet we can sometimes prioritise one over the other … or sometimes overlook both.

Life is busy; work is busy; constant demands on your time and energy – where are you amongst all of this? 😕

Can you take some time to pause, reset, and prioritise your wellbeing this month? It may be a walk in nature, taking a few minutes to focus on your breath, or you may be experiencing symptoms and you’re wanting to explore an holistic approach.

Holistic therapies support the whole person: mind, body, and spirit ✨

In a world which moves fast, holistic therapies remind us to slow down and listen to what we really need.

Are you experiencing pain, feeling out of balance, or as though you’re not firing on all cylinders? Or maybe you just need to take some time for you and to relax? 💚

Working with you 1:1 at The Healing Tree, or in group sessions with CLUB CHI – we are here to help you on the next steps of your wellbeing journey 🙏

Reflexology … do you think it’s just a foot rub?! 🤔

I often say to clients that our feet are often neglected, yet they are amazing tools to work with!

The wonders of Reflexology are known to many, however for those who have never experienced it, or perhaps never heard of it, the concept of it being able to help with health issues is never to be under-estimated 👣

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The premise of all forms of Reflexology is the stimulation of nerve endings. This stimulation sends signals via the Central Nervous System to the different parts of your body. Areas of the body which are imbalanced or have congestion (dis-ease) respond to this stimulation – the result being that you may feel the symptoms of physical and emotional ailments reduce or lessen and your sense of wellbeing increase.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?

The Healing Tree offers Foot, Hand and Facial Reflexology in various forms. Apart from being extremely relaxing and great for your wellbeing, it may assist with conditions such as:

🔹Stress and Anxiety
🔹 Aspects of Mental Health
🔹 Insomnia and sleep disorders
🔹 Support for the immune system
🔹 Headaches and Migraines
🔹 Sinus Congestion
🔹 Circulation
🔹 Mobility Issues
🔹 Irritable Bowel Syndrome and digestive complaints
🔹 Muscle stiffness/tightness
🔹 Muscular-skeletal conditions – frozen shoulder, back pain, etc
🔹 Hormonal conditions
🔹 Fertility & conception
🔹 Pre and post-natal

Being holistic, Reflexology will work your body as a whole – therefore it has the potential to assist with any symptoms you are currently experiencing on some or all levels.

Want to experience the benefits of Reflexology and ‘treat your feet’? Get in touch and let’s discuss working together on your journey to health and happiness 💜

At The Healing Tree, my therapy practice is about offering holistic therapies. But, just what does ‘holistic’ mean? 🤔

Holistic means looking at the whole person—mind, body, emotions, and spirit—not just the symptoms 💚

And holistic therapies aim to support balance, healing, and wellness on every level – top to toe, inside and out ✨

I always say to my clients there’s so much more to them than the headaches, IBS, back pain, symptoms of stress, etc they are experiencing and I take time to find out what’s going on for them not only health-wise, but in their life too.

We deal with so much in our everyday lives that it’s understandable for it to affect our health mentally, emotionally and physically at times.

This is where holistic therapies are perfect – as they work to support you on so many levels, as well as being a wonderful way to find that state of zen ❤

If this sounds like something you need in your life, get in touch to discuss your next steps and see if The Healing Tree can support you on your wellbeing journey 🙏

This time of year, we often want to be feeling our best – the sun’s out (some of the time!), the days are longer and we want to be doing more things with our time and tapping into that summer energy 🌞

Sometimes, our head is telling us this, however our body is saying otherwise 😞 We may feel bloated, or feel sluggish with little energy. We may have a heavy feeling in our limbs (and sometimes our head too with that brain fog feeling).

At The Healing Tree, I work with you to bring your body back into balance – aiming to create harmony physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically 💚

An important part of creating this flow is to focus on the lymphatic system. Our lymphatic system is an important part of our immune system and, at The Healing Tree, I offer various therapies which focus upon the lymphatic system:

🔹 Reflex Lymph Drainage - a reflexology-based treatment via the feet or hands;
🔹 Detox Massage – a therapeutic massage with the emphasis on supporting the lymphatic system; and
🔹 Lymphatic Drainage Massage – a gentle pressure therapy working with the lymphatic system from top to toe – including a wonderful facial lymphatic massage.
