Reiki is a natural healing method that works by channeling energy from the universe into the body. It's a balanced energy that flows through the therapist which brings about healing whether that be emotional or physical.
As the years go by I have been noticing the ebb and flow of energy in my clients. Sometimes as a client enters my studio I will be wholly taken by their energy and how it is passing through their body and inhibiting their movements and indeed their emotions. These two things are intrinsically linked and often the release of tension in the body can bring about all sorts of emotions with clients feeling lighter as they leave the studio. So, yes Pilates is an amazing practice of getting people moving in a connected way creating strength in the body and this is what drew me into the practice which I have been teaching in for 22 years now! But what if that Energy needs healing all on its own? I was at a loss until I started to go to Reiki for myself and realised that I could use the energy healing for my own clients working to restore the body's natural energy flow.
Reiki can help to release emotions so you feel lighter and gives you a boost of positive energy leaving you calmer and more able to cope with life. In turn, feeling less daunted by discomfort in the physical body and can help speed up recovery. I know if I am in pain it makes me feel stressed, confused sometimes upset....but when I had Reiki it lifted those feelings making me feel calmer clearing those blockages and imbalances so energy healing could take place. This continues long after you have left the couch! The whole experience is so comforting and relaxing.
I have been training with the wonderful Dorothy Winter in all aspects of Reiki healing and from the end of January 2024 will be able to extend my Pilates practice to include Reiki. I am so excited to start this new journey, I will be continuing to train and learn throughout 2024 in both Reiki and Pilates and look forward to bringing these two practices to you.
Exciting times!

I
have wanted to write this blog for ages, well actually since January 2021
turned its corner. But the love just wasn't there for this just yet, the
pandemic was enough to deal with somehow. But, as the evenings grown
longer and my heart is lifted, just a little, everyday. I am able to take
a moment for myself. So finally after three months I have it completed -
these are my favourite books I read in 2020 (not necessarily published in 2020).
I loved all these books so much and would recommend them all......if you do
fancy any of them why don't you buy from bookshop.org, they are an
amazing online bookshop of carefully curated recommendations and every sale
supports our local bookshops! Lets keep them open! If you click on
the link below it should take you to my list and to bookshop.org and you can
choose your local bookshop from there if you have one.

Easy Napa Cabbage Kimchi (Kimchee) Recipe - Chowhound
I use this recipe from Chowhound. I can never find the salted shrimp so tend to leave it out! I am sure that's probably frowned on but when I have found the shrimp I didn't really like the flavour so much so I guess its personal taste!

Would I recommend it? Yes...... though maybe not to everyone perhaps....its disarming, witty, dry, and starkly real. Raven's writing is just gorgeous, the depiction of Edie a 23year old troubled lapsed painter who meets Eric and unwittingly joins an open marriage is told with humour and realism. Every word is carefully thought and drips with hilarious (though dark) one liners which I adored.
