How does an online Kinesiology session work?

I will be super honest with you and say that originally I was highly doubtful of conducting Kinesiology sessions ‘online’, even though my Reiki work is often done ‘via distance’ there was a block in my own mind about the effectiveness of Kinesiology. However given our current climate and social distancing restrictions, to be able to offer my clients the ongoing support and guidance they needed I had to make some adjustment in the way I offered my services. In doing this I hav

Practicing Self-Care in Uncertain Times…

I feel called more than ever to share healing, love and light with the ever changing environment at present and the move towards limited contact outside of our homes, I wanted to reach and connect with as many souls as possible to help support you in this time that might be triggering fear or anxiety, stress and overwhelm. As many of my clients would know I am always encouraging you to set up at “Self-care Toolkit”. This becomes a go to in times of stress, uncertainty, worry

Being present and showing up for yourself…

Sometimes all you can do is just be present and show up. Show up for life….show up for yourself….to just ‘be’. I have been reminded of this as I sit with some discomfort about the direction I am moving in and when I asked my guides ‘how can I best serve today?’, hoping that this would give me some much needed clarity and direction when life wasn’t looking exactly how I thought it would. The answer to me was simply ‘ By being present and showing up’. Which really got me thinki

Trusting your inner knowing...

It is in that space of your inner knowing that you will find comfort and ease, there is a feeling of being supported that comes from being connected to oneself and in turn connected to all that is. For in this place your self-belief is strong and you trust yourself implicitly. There is no greater feeling that being in the flow of guidance, connected to your higher self and higher power. Where does this come from I hear you ask…. Where do I get this?! How do I get this?! The i

End of Year Reflection and Intentions...

I had been tracking so well as the end of 2019 approached and I had been starting my reflection and intention process a little earlier than in past years. The timing of the end of a decade had also prompted me to reflect over so major life changes and events I had experienced in the last 10 years and that is where the wheels started to fall off. It felt like the gravity of embracing not only a new year, but the new decade, got to me. I became overwhelmed with this significanc

Surrendering and letting go of old patterns...

A lot of my personal reflection over the last few months has been around the relationships in my life, the type of energy, people that I want around me and what I still need to let go of and release from my past. The energy I am being pulled towards has me healing all things relationships, this feels like relationships in all areas of my life – friends, intimate, work, family, etc. So with the feeling of the current energy in mind and the prospect of moving into a new year….I

What is Grounding...

Grounding (also known as Earthing) What is Grounding and why it is so important? The definition of Grounding in the Collins English Dictionary is “Grounding is the act of connecting a conductor, or exposed conductive parts of an installation, to the earth.” Grounding, often referred to as Earthing, is a technique that connects you energetically to the earth and thereby keeping you in the present moment, more in tune with your body and able to receive nourishing energy from th

Patience is key...

Amongst the many lessons that have seemed to come up for me this year, one of the biggest challenges has been accepting and embracing patience. I am learning that the end result or outcome is not necessarily the prize for it is often in the lead up to the outcome you will find the greatest opportunity for growth or learning within. I am hopeful in sharing this observation that you will see this in part through your own journey and through what you observe with others, primari

Opening Your Heart...

It can be a challenge in the beginning to allow yourself to be open and, to open your heart in ways you perhaps haven’t done before, and it can take a willingness to risk being hurt, disappointed or sad. Too often we focus on this being the possible outcome so why bother trying at all then, preferring to keep our heart safe, closed and locked up, rather than observe what is the potential bonus or reward that may come if we take a risk and open our hearts up to someone or some

Limiting beliefs - What are they and how to transform them...

Identifying the patterns or behaviours that have dimmed your light or why, where you have allowed others needs to be more important than yours, is an important step on your self-awareness journey. You will need to get underneath the surface to become aware of what limiting beliefs you might hold and that are preventing you from really embodying your true self as often it is these beliefs being held in your subconscious mind that are holding you back. Limiting beliefs, are bel

Stress and the Nervous System...

Whether it is stress formed from physical, biochemical, mental or psychological stress, or stress patterns contributed from the more intensified demanding lifestyles that we perceive as ‘normal’ today in Western Society, many people are in a constant state of ‘fight/flight’, a highly reactive state from perceived ‘dangers’ caused by the activation of the Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) in the body. When the Sympathetic Nervous System is activated, in order to ready the body

Seeing and owning your truth...

The Universe will keep putting in our path what we need to learn the most. Often in life a situation or pattern will keep repeating itself until you learn what you are being shown, you learn the ‘lesson’. However we frequently miss this lesson and one of the reasons this happens is because without realising, we often find ourselves in a victim mindset and this is often because the ‘story’ we have created for ourselves makes us feel or play the victim. We give away our power b

Recognising your story and reclaiming your power...

I had a big aha moment a few days ago. For the last couple of weeks, near where I get off the bus, there is a man who sits with a sign “Smile – it’s free” and the first few times I saw him, and his sign, I inwardly groaned and almost went around rather than have to pass by or pretended I was on my phone, anything rather than have to smile at him. I am not sure why but I just couldn’t warm up to this idea to engage with a smile. However a few days ago I was feeling happy so wh

Staying centred in love, joy and harmony...

In the face of adversity or challenging times it is a test of your courage and strength to see if you can maintain a positive outlook, if you can still feel that little glimmer of hope and possibility on the horizon. For this trust and faith in life, in yourself, will bring you the magic of miracles and creative solutions or outcomes and most importantly, an inner peace. I am learning, slowly, that at each test or turn if I can maintain my faith that everything really does ha

Relationships and ego fear projections...

So by now, if you have been keeping up with my blogs, you will know that this year is all about relationship lessons and growth for me. My guidance has not been wrong; already I have observed a number of challenging situations and reoccurring patterns. Interestingly these have not always directly affected me but I have seen through my daughter’s experiences with friendships and this has triggered me by bringing up old childhood stuff of my own. This led me to sit down with m

Learning to trust and have faith...

So after a couple of hectic weeks at the start of the school year, where I had found myself back in full control mode in an effort to keep on top of everything, having to monitor and allocate every minute of my day. Plus I noticed that my self-care practices had gone out the window and I was becoming tired and irritable and physically I had daily headaches, fatigue and lethargy in my body. In my effort to keep on top of being back into routine with my daughter and school plus

Learning from relationships and triggers...

I have been reflecting over a situation that occurred nearly four months ago…yes I am a recovering over thinker and don’t always have it together and always learning...!! :) I think because in this case it invoked a strong emotional reaction from me, that it has hit my ‘trigger button’ and hence why it has lingered and rolled around in my head for that period of time. I did have several attempts at ‘letting it go’ but only superficially, it really has touched a nerve so deep

New Year Reflection and Intentions...

This time of year you see many posts, articles and blogs about reflecting, letting go and releasing the year that was and setting resolutions or intentions for the New Year ahead. It’s easy to get confused by all these ideas, processes and rituals to choose from and for a recovering perfectionist like myself makes the process ten times harder and a lot more complicated than it needs to be! I’m certainly a big believer in revisiting the year that was, what you’ve learnt, ach

Creating space...

Creating space for yourself can mean a multitude of options and will potentially look different to everyone and depend on what your needs are at present or what your schedule looks like. The idea of creating space really just means making time for yourself to do the things you love, are passionate about and bring you joy. In our busy society we have been caught up in this concept of being busy and ‘busyness’ seems to have been another word for ‘stressed’. Often I hear people

What can you expect in a Reiki Session?

So you want to try a Reiki session but don’t know what to expect?! At the beginning of the session I will discuss with you any specific areas you wish to be treated and then you will be asked to lay fully clothed on the treatment table, or if preferred, take a seat comfortably supported upright. Reiki is offered through light, non-invasive touch with my hands placed and held on a series of locations on your head and front or back of your torso. The placement of the hands will
