Mums and mums to be…..

	Are you suffering from lack of, or interrupted sleep?
	Do you feel exhausted and totally lacking in energy by the end of the day?
	Have you been run ragged by the demands you need to meet on a daily basis?
	Are you trying to juggle being a mum, with being a partner, running a home, having a career and finding time for yourself?
	Do you put everyone else in the family before yourself?
	Would you just like to feel relaxed and pampered?
	Are the discomforts pregnancy can sometimes bring just a bit too much for you right now?
	Does your child/baby suffer in any way, for example with any of the following:-
	- Sleep problems - Reflux - Colds and infections - Digestion or stomach problems - Low energy levels - Broken bones - Cancer - Withdrawn behaviour - Low confidence - Lack of concentration - Frustration - Anger - Stress

If you have answered 'YES' to one or more of the above questions, then ask yourself one more question…

…have you considered Reiki or Holistic Massage treatments?*

* Holistic Massage not given to children and babies, only Reiki

Reiki can assist anyone and for whatever problem is presenting, even if it's just the need for some deep relaxation. It is wonderful for pregnant mums too, especially as the baby will receive a treatment at the same time. However, I would never force Reiki on to a child or baby; they would choose that they wanted to accept the energy and healing and this choice would be respected.

Holistic Massage is beneficial to all body systems and again is a natural and effective way to treat. The positive outcomes of massage can be on a physical level, psychological or both. Benefiting all body systems, massage can relax painful and tight muscles. It stretches and kneads tight and painful muscles, gently separating individual fibers that may have become bound and knotted together. Holistic Massage is an incredibly relaxing treatment which gives you the space to unwind. By the end of the treatment it can leave you feeling calm and stress free, refreshed, revived and rejuvenated.

Pregnancy Massage obviously offers the benefits of Holistic Massage, although this treatment is designed specifically for mums to be, taking into account the needs of a woman and her changing anatomy and physiology during pregnancy, as well as understanding what will help her whilst carrying her child.

Combination Reiki and Massage treatments can be tailor made to suit the individuals' requirements, so whether it's ½ hour of Reiki followed by 1 hour of Massage, or vice versa, or even ½ hour of Reiki and ½ hour back and neck massage, then please feel free to book whatever you wish.

So why choose these therapies?

Although this article is aimed at communicating the benefits of Reiki & Holistic Massage to women specifically, please note that Reiki is suitable for men, women and children of all ages and for a whole range of reasons. Similarly, Holistic Massage will benefit men and women, however, I do not offer this treatment for children/babies.

Both these complementary therapies are holistic so they promote the bringing together of mind body and spirit. They are totally natural and can be used confidently alongside conventional medicine or natural remedies without fear of side-effects.

"It was lovely to be pampered and the massage was definitely very relaxing. I felt relaxed and very calm last night, which is still the case today, even at work. I had about 6.5 hours sleep, but was less tired than I usually am in the morning. My feet in particular feel great. I had this very pleasant tingling sensation in them last night, and this morning they feel like new - hard to describe, but it's a good feeling. I have no nausea and other pregnancy discomforts either. I'm sure the baby enjoyed it as well - because it was happily moving around afterwards!" Marta, Reading
