I need your help.🙏

I recently read a Facebook post:

“I’m so tired. I can’t remember the last time I slept through the night. I’m at my wits’ end! I’ve tried everything. Any advice?”

The replies:

“Try magnesium.”

“Have your iron checked.”

“Try breathing exercises.”

“Listen to sleep music.”

“Nothing works for me!”

Sound familiar?

And yet no one brought holistic therapies - massage or aromatherapy or Reiki - into the conversation.

I wondered why?🤔
Have you ever used or considered a holistic approach to help with your sleepless nights?
Or do you prefer a more self-managed sleep solution?

A client came to see me because she was struggling to sleep.

She was exhausted, but as soon as her head touched the pillow, her mind would spring into action, and wouldn’t let go of all the days events, as it went over and over every detail.

After listening to her, I realised her mind was stuck in fight/flight mode and I needed to create a treatment that would allow her mind to feel safe, so it could switch and rest.

I began with blending essential oils, to create a calm aroma that I could use throughout the treatment.

I then used slow, rhythmic massage across her back, shoulders and neck to ease the physical tension her tired body was still holding onto.

Rather than asking her to lie on her front and turn over during the treatment, I positioned her comfortably on her side. This allowed me to massage her back while keeping movement and interruption to a minimum.

I followed this with gentle facial, scalp and head massage. The slow, repetitive touch gave her busy mind something quiet to focus on, without asking her to force her thoughts to stop.

I finished with reflexology and Reiki at her feet, allowing her to remain warm, still and undisturbed as the treatment came to an end.

Every part of the session had a purpose.

My aim was not to force her to relax or tell her to clear her mind. It was to create an environment in which both her body and mind could begin to feel safe enough to soften, settle and drift.

She didn’t need to decide whether she needed massage, reflexology, aromatherapy or Reiki.

She told me what she was struggling with. I blended the therapies around what she needed.

Let me guess…

You’re exhausted.

But by some cruel fate, your mind won’t shut up!

And now you’re wide awake, feeling even worse because somehow you’re expected to get up, get organised and go to work.

You’re at your wits’ end. Everything feels impossible.

Even buying your favourite coffee!

So, what do you choose?

Massage? Reflexology? Reiki? Aromatherapy?

🙀 Noooooo…more decisions! 🤯

As if you don’t already have enough to make!

Okay, let me make this one easy for you. 😳

Tell me, what do you need?

How do you want to feel?

Do you want to get to sleep? Stay asleep?

Have more energy?

Or simply feel like you again?

You don’t need to decide whether you need massage, reflexology, Reiki or something else.

You tell me how you’re feeling and what you need. Then, following our conversation, I’ll blend the therapies I feel will support you best.

You don’t need to know which treatment to choose.

You just need to know how you want to feel again. 😁❤️

If you would like me to help you cope, send me a DM to arrange an appointment.
Or book online, on my website.

I offer morning, afternoon and evening appointments, with the occasional Saturday appointments too.

Have you ever heard every word someone said, and then moments later completely forgot what they asked you to do?

It can feel frightening, particularly at work. You may start wondering whether you’re losing your sharpness or becoming less capable.

But the difficulty may not be your hearing or your ability.

Perimenopause can affect how efficiently the brain processes and holds onto spoken information. However, small changes in how you handle the spoken word can help you cope better.

I’ve written an article explaining what may be happening, why written information can feel easier and the simple adjustments that can help.
