Dear fellow moonbeams 💚
I am writing a rather exciting, but also an incredibly difficult post to write.
As a lot of my clients may or may not know,
sadly I caught Covid in early January and have been incredibly poorly for several months. I was signed off with “covid complications” until just a few weeks ago.
During this time I have been able to reflect upon my situation and have been able to gain a deeper understanding of what changes I needed to make to accommodate my health and my family in this post Covid climate.
Being self employed and so poorly for so many months has had a significant impact on my family life, and I am having to find new ways to adapt to enable me to bring more security for myself and my children. (we lost our house because I was off work for so long and couldn’t afford the increased rent)
I have been managing to keep up with my counselling studies, and am almost at the end of my second academic year. An achievement I am incredibly proud of.
However, the biggest news i have is that I have been offered an amazing full time job as an independent advocate helping people with mental health issues and people that lack mental capacity and i will help with best interest decisions for their care and rights to be respected. It is with a wonderful charity who are willing to be flexible around my counselling studies and counselling placements also.
I feel this is absolutely what myself and my children need. Job and financial security.
So, after being self employed for around 17 years… my doors are now closing here at Child Of The Moon at Blossom street and I will no longer be offering physical therapies for the forseable future.
I will be finishing my counselling accreditation and will be offering work as a counsellor as soon as I am fully qualified.
Watch this space.
Thank you to all of my clients for your love and support over the years, I could not have done any of this without you.
So sorry for what may feel like an abrupt ending, but it is something that has been happening in the pipe works for a while.
I believe I have contacted all my clients who had gift vouchers still in date and unused, but if I haven’t been in contact with you then just let me know. As you can imagine, it’s been an incredibly busy and stressful time.
This isn’t a goodbye, it’s a “until we meet again”
Love and light to all .
