About
Meraki - (may-ray-kee)
to do something with soul, creativity, or love; to put something of yourself in your work
I have worked within the healthcare sector and the NHS for over ten years, and during this time I have observed many patients suffering from poor physical and mental health.
So often the problems are entwined and heavily connected between mind and body, and yet treated completely separate.
Whilst I champion modern medicine and its integral importance to our health, I strongly believe a holistic approach to our wellbeing is vital.
Over the years, and after travelling extensively through South East Asia, I witnessed just how differently wellbeing is viewed in the East compared to the West. This is when my passion for complementary therapies and wellness sparked.
I loved learning how ancient practices are still honoured as sacred, the use of natural herbs for healing and a general connectedness to the earth. The element of touch is highly regarded, something I feel has been long lost in the seemingly more developed countries.
Complementary therapies such as massage and reiki can have such positive effects on the overall wellbeing of the mind, body, and spirit. Bringing all these elements of self into alignment makes for a more peaceful and lighter life.
I aim to keep learning about the many ways of supporting the human body in a kind and holistic approach and I hope I get the chance to work with you in the future.
My Approach
Meraki Holistic Massage & Reiki Therapy is here to help you truly relax and connect with your inner spirit. Life can be busy, stressful and sometimes just too much - allow some time to rest and come back to yourself.
Each therapy is specifically tailored to the you. We are all unique individuals, with different wants and needs. This treatment time is about you and nobody else.
I do not follow a set routine for each person. We will discuss before the treatment starts to understand what you want from the session and which areas you would like treated.
Throughout the massage, you will be fully covered with a large towel, exposing only the area I am working on.
My aim is so for you to feel comfortable, warm, relaxed and at ease at all times. Trust is very important between therapist and client and I will work to my very best ability to ensure this element is honoured.
Extra time is allowed before the treatment to discuss your specific needs and afterwards for you to recoup with some water or tea in the waiting room.
