Look to nature and we really can learn so much 💚

We regularly go out walking and, over the weeks and months, you see the changes – blossom on the trees as some of the early spring flowers start to fade, newborn lambs with their mums, birds busy nesting, the trees bursting with vibrant green leaves 🌳🌷

Do you feel in sync with nature and the seasons? You may feel more energised with the lighter evenings and longer days, but do you take time to regenerate and be still like we see in so many aspects of nature?

Look at trees - they have times for growth and times for drawing that energy in so they can recharge for the next phase of growth. If a tree was to continually grow, its roots would probably be weak, its leaves pale – it wouldn’t be serving itself well, so instead, it does what it needs to do, in its own time and is in sync with its natural rhythm 💗 🌳

As the saying goes, you can’t pour from an empty cup. Visualise your body as a fuel tank – where would you say your fuel levels are?

It’s not wrong to relax – it’s essential. We need to find stillness amongst the busy; we need to connect to calm.

And you can access this (and so much more!) at The Healing Tree and CLUB CHI.

Whether you’re looking for 1:1 sessions, or group sessions – we can support you with your wellbeing journey and connecting to calm 🙏

Hands-on therapies; energy therapies or talking therapies at The Healing Tree and Tai Chi Qigong; Gong Bath Meditations; and Wellness Workshops at CLUB CHI (see website for details) 👇

Connect to your rhythm – connect to your wellbeing journey ✨

How do YOU know when you're stressed? 😵‍💫

🤯Constant overthinking?
🍰 Random cravings?
🤬 Feeling irritable?
🥱 Sleepless nights or lacking quality sleep?
😥 Or maybe that tight feeling in your chest you get every now and then?

Stress shows up differently for everyone – what are your tell-tale signs? Share yours below, as someone else may recognise the symptoms in themselves, but not realise it’s due to stress 👇

When we realise our symptoms may be due to stress, it gives us awareness and, therefore, enables us to take action and change certain things in our lives.

We should NEVER let stress continue indefinitely – our body most definitely keeps the score and will show you that you’re pushing through rather than coping at some point down the line.

So, what changes can you make? ✨

If you need support to make changes, get in touch and let’s see if we can work together on the next steps of your wellbeing journey.

There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to our health and wellness and, what works for one person, may not work for another. At The Healing Tree and CLUB CHI, we offer a variety of ways to support you to create that positive change 💚

Don’t suffer in silence … give yourself permission to feel well and reconnect to being happy. You deserve it 🙏

Holistic treatments – a nice to do, or a must-have in your life? 🤔

Our Western approach to holistic health and self-care is often very different to the Eastern approach. In the West, there is a tendency to seek treatment and support once we’re feeling something isn’t right – be it tension, pain, stress etc ❌

In the East, the traditional approach would be to support your mind and body WHILST it’s well and to prevent, or reduce, the onset of tension, pain, stress etc ✅

Life can feel unrelenting at times – not enough hours in the day … never getting any time to yourself. Sound familiar?

If we don’t take our health and self-care into our own hands, life will continue at a relentless pace and you will be unable to restore any balance and ‘top up the tank’ 😢

Why not try a different approach and support and maintain your health – physically, mentally and energetically?

I have a lot of clients at The Healing Tree who book in regular sessions – prioritising that time for them and supporting their health as we focus on what they need at the time of each appointment 💚

And, at CLUB CHI, we have our regular Qigong attendees who value this empowering, yet gentle, movement therapy. The power of releasing stagnation, so our energy can flow more freely ☯

If you feel you need to connect to a more preventative approach to healthcare and want to focus on your health and wellness, contact me to discuss your wellbeing journey and see if we can help 🙏

British Summer Time has commenced – and we’re seeing signs of nature bursting into life 🌷🌼

Do you feel like you’re connecting with the surge of new springtime energy, or do you feel spent already? Life can feel like you’re whizzing around on a hamster wheel at times, can’t it 😢

When we lose ourselves amongst the busyness of life, we lose what life should be about – JOY. And to find joy in our life is about finding BALANCE ☯️

There are many ways to bring balance and joy into your life. I’m obviously passionate about taking the holistic approach at The Healing Tree and CLUB CHI, however the most important thing is to start NOW!

At The Healing Tree, I work with you 1:1 – focusing on how you want to be feeling, as we work together to create that positive change 💚

At CLUB CHI, this positive change is created with the gentle movements of Qigong, or maybe absorbing the power of the gongs in a Gong Bath. We also have our MIDSUMMER MINDFULNESS wellness workshop on 20 June – a day for YOU and taking that time to slow down and reconnect to yourself 🥰

If you’re struggling to find balance and joy in your life, struggling to find time for you and are keen to try an holistic approach, contact me to discuss your wellbeing journey and see if we can help 🙏

Yesterday was International Women’s Day – a day of celebrating our strengths, success and achievements 🥰🌟

And I hope you took some time to acknowledge your journey, all you have achieved and the obstacles you may have overcome to get to where you are today 🙏

My journey to get to where I am today has had many twists and turns and, at times, what has felt like mountains to climb – but with determination, alignment and having a passion about what I do, it’s about enjoying the journey and trusting the process 😊

Do you live in the moment, or do you find yourself worrying about the past, fretting about the future and concerned about what others may think of your decisions?

There’s a quote about worry being the thief of joy … try to keep this in check and focus on being in the present and tapping into that joy 💜

Don’t let insecurities, fear and worry stop you doing what you want to do And, should you struggle with feeling empowered and as though anxiety is stopping you achieving what you want in life, perhaps you need to take some time for you to pause and reconnect to you 💗

At The Healing Tree, we work together utilising different holistic therapies (hands-on, talking and energy therapies) and at CLUB CHI we create that balance with movement and sound therapies.

Be the person you want to become and get in touch or arrange a Free Discovery Call to see if we’re able to work together to bring balance and wellness into your life 🙏

As we approach the end of February already, did you know this month marks ‘International Boost Your Self-Esteem Month’ 🤔

Low self-esteem can impact our lives in so many ways. We may feel unloved, unimportant and as though nobody wants to be around us.

Lack of self-worth can leave us feeling unhappy, unmotivated and it can affect all levels of our health – mind, body and spirit 😔

So, how can we boost our self-esteem? One way is to be more kind to ourselves – if you listen to the negative mind chatter … would you say this to your worst enemy? Often, we wouldn’t, so why do we talk to ourselves in this way?

Other ways to re-build our self-esteem are to do things which bring you joy – being lost in the moment of doing something you enjoy will nourish your soul 💗 You may choose a hobby where you spend time with likeminded people; or put the music on and dance around your living room to get your energy flowing; or it may be seeking support – from friends, professionals and talking about how you feel.

Self-care may be doing exercise, meditation or just taking time to relax. These can all be done by yourself, or you may also want to reach out to CLUB CHI and/or The Healing Tree 💜

Join us at CLUB CHI if Tai Chi Qigong, Gong Bath Meditations or Wellness Workshops resonates with you. Or, you may be looking for that 1:1 approach exploring holistic therapies with The Healing Tree 💚

If you’re looking to create that positive change, get in touch to discuss your wellbeing journey and your next steps 🙏
