✨🌙 Friday thoughts from me, the heart behind Elara Moon 🌙✨
15 years ago, I was crippled with severe anxiety & depression. I’d walk into my GP’s room, get five minutes of rushed words, a prescription for tablets, and be sent on my way. Something about it didn’t sit right with me. Was this really my life now? Was this just who I was destined to be?
Day after day, I woke up exactly the same — heavy, exhausted, and trapped in my own mind. My thoughts scared me, and to cope I shut down, pushing my feelings away because it felt easier to feel nothing than to face everything.
But slowly, stubbornly, I began searching for another way. On my own, with no roadmap, just curiosity and a deep desire to feel something better. I found meditation (just me in my bedroom), I found breathwork, yoga and pilates, hypnotherapy… and then Reiki. Little by little, I discovered holistic practices that allowed my body and mind to breathe again.
It wasn’t a straight line. Some days I stumbled backwards. Some days I didn’t cope. But through it all, I learned:
🌿 If I don’t prioritise myself, I slip away.
🌿 Saying “yes” to please everyone else often means saying “no” to myself.
🌿 Every feeling deserves a place — the painful ones that need honouring, and the beautiful ones I once couldn’t even recognise, like love, gratitude, peace and happiness.
My mind once felt like the scariest place to be. Now, it’s a space where feelings are welcome — even the tough ones — because I know healing is in the acknowledgement.
That’s why Elara Moon exists. For the version of me 15 years ago who just needed one safe hour to feel calm. For anyone who wakes up day after day thinking “this is just who I am now.” For you, if you’re craving a pause, a breath, or a place to begin again.
Because here’s the truth: everyone you pass in the street is carrying something you can’t see. And we all need a space to be held, even just for a little while.
So whether it’s one hour of Reiki to shift your energy, or a massage that eases your body and quiets your mind — Elara Moon is here, with warmth, humour (because we need that too 😂), and deep passion for this work.
If you’d told me 15 years ago that I’d be here today — holding space for others to heal — I’d never have believed you! But here i am loving every minute of it! All you need is One day at a time 🙏✨️
With love and gratitude,
✨ Elara Moon
