Is this right for you now?

Painful chapters don't need to be forgotten or buried. In time, they can be held differently.

This work can help them become part of your wisdom, rather than your wound. But it matters that you come at the right time, with the right support around you.

✦

What we can do together

• Reiki, the heart of this work, to ground you, release what's been held, and bring you back into your body

• Space to say what hasn't been said, and to be properly heard

• Clarity about what happened, what it showed you, and what's true for you now

• A deeper knowing of who you are, beyond this chapter

• Decisions and next steps that come from the inside, not from what's expected

No neat endings promised. Just clarity, self-knowing, and the courage to act on them.

Where my work ends

I'm an energetic guide. I'm not a therapist, counsellor or medical practitioner, and I don't treat trauma or offer crisis support. This work walks alongside that kind of care. It never replaces it.

When you need more than I can offer

Some things need specialist care, first or alongside our work. Please reach out for it if:

• you're not safe right now, at home or in a relationship

• you're having thoughts of harming yourself

• something painful has happened recently, or still feels like it's happening now

• memories, panic or numbness are taking over your days

• you're relying on alcohol or other substances to get through

• you're struggling with eating, or with how you feel about food and your body

• the world feels unreal, or you're seeing or hearing things others don't

• low mood or hopelessness has lasted for weeks and is making everyday life hard

• you're under the care of a mental health team (please check with them before we begin)

This isn't a closed door. Many women work with me alongside a therapist, or come once that work has given them steadier ground. If you're unsure, ask me. We'll work it out together.

How we begin

Before we start, we'll talk about what's brought you here and the support you have around you. We'll agree how we'll work, and you're free to pause or step away at any time.

If something comes up that needs more than I can offer, I'll tell you, gently and honestly, and help you find the right support.
