Reiki

A Reiki session offers you a brief pause in time to relax and centre the focus on yourself. Enjoy a stress-relieving sequence of touch that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and at peace. Julia, our Reiki Master at the Willow House, has six years of experience practising on both adults and children. Her approach is gentle, calming, and inviting - you don’t need any experience with Reiki to feel comfortable.

Reiki is a light-touch energetic therapy that offers numerous benefits, including:

• Supporting the body's natural healing processes, aiding in recovery from injuries.
• Fostering deep relaxation, helping to alleviate stress and tension.
• Providing relief from chronic pain, headaches, and discomfort.
• Enhancing overall well-being and harmony.
• Easing symptoms of anxiety and depression, promoting emotional well-being.
• Supporting immune health.
• Boosting energy levels and reducing feelings of tiredness.
• Improving sleep quality.
• Offering a nervous system reset.

Reiki can support on any healing journey, whether physical, emotional or spiritual, often releasing blockages and healing trauma we may not even need to process at the conscious level.

Birth Story Medicine

Do you carry any hard thoughts about moments in your pregnancy, your labour, or your postpartum period? Are there certain memories that you try to not think about? Do you feel a pang of worry or angst when envisioning birthing again for a next child? If any of these ring true with you, Birth Story Medicine might be for you.  

I am trained as a Birth Story Listener by Birth Story Medicine, created by Pam England, who is the author of some truly incredible birthing books including Birthing from Within, Ancient Map for Modern Birth, and Labyrinth of Birth.

This will be a different setting than ever before for sharing your birth story.

In our time together, you can hope to come away with a shift in how you feel about your birth.
