What Does A Holistic Therapist Do?

For years I have dreaded the question “so what do you do for a living then?” knowing that the response to my answer will always be “ok so what does that involve?

Reiki and the Ego

As the spa industry is booming and day packages becoming ever so popular so is the demand for reiki therapists. It’s no wonder given the amount of stress people now face in their daily routines. Especially in the city of London where many people work on average nine hours per day then face a busy commute battling through the intense crowds of other souls desperate to get home and put their feet up.

The Problem with Reiki in Hotel Spas

I decided to write this post as I’m interested to find out if there are others therapists out there who feel the same way I do regarding Reiki being on the treatment menu in hotel spas and the problems which may arise due to a lack of time flexibility.

The Seven Layers of the Aura

We are all very much aware of our physical body. We recognise joints, muscle, bones and organs such as our heart, but what about our subtle bodies?

Looking After The Male Skin

It is no surprise to hear the majority of women look after their skin and spend an average of £2462 a year (according to an article by the Huffpost Lifestyle) on the latest creams super serums and fashionable clothes, but what about the male species?

Chakra Balancing During Massage

I was inspired to write this post after a similar article by Reiki Rays last month called Does Reiki Have Any Impact When Used During Massage? The author Isabela do Val Santana explains the effects of Reiki flowing whether being asked to or not and how this can affect the quality and results of her massage.

A Relaxing Way to Detox

With the summer thankfully on its way many of us are looking at new ways to detox in time to look and feel good in our bikinis. So apart from those sweaty gym sessions, cutting out on alcohol and replacing our usual processed ready meals with nutritious smoothies what else can we do to detox?

The Benefits of Reflexology

Perhaps understanding the many benefits of reflexology will encourage sceptics to try this wonderfully relaxing treatment. I have been successfully treating clients with Reflexology treatments for 10 years now and still enjoy the opportunity of helping others find balance in their life both on a physical and emotional level.

The Cleansing Process

This Reiki journey of self healing and spiritual discovery will in no doubt for some people bring many mixed emotions to the surface due to the changes taking place within the auric field. The cleansing process refers to these sensations, emotions, feelings and physical changes a person can encounter for up to 21 days following either a Reiki attunement or a Reiki treatment.

Reiki Attunements. What’s Involved!

The word attunement refers to the process in which the Reiki Master makes subtle adjustments to the students s energy channels which are opened up in order to accommodate the ability to channel Reiki linking that person to the source of Reiki. The simplest explanation is that it is much like tuning a radio to the desired station with no interference.
