Would You Like To Experience Deep Relaxation and Inner Balance?
Try Reiki Therapy
Why Use Reiki?
Reiki is a spiritual healing energy that originated in the early twentieth century in Japan. It enhances wellness by gently encouraging balance throughout the entire system.
Reiki is a hands-on treatment that you experience while dressed and sitting comfortably in a chair or on a treatment table. The Reiki practitioner's hands rest lightly on a series of placements on the head, both sides of the torso, and the limbs as needed. Both you and the practitioner will quickly notice a gentle shift towards relaxation.
Who Can Use Reiki?
People of all ages and at all stages of life and health use Reiki. What's more, you don't have to be unwell to benefit from Reiki. Even people in good health use Reiki to manage stress and to strengthen their well-being.
You'll find that whatever your culture or faith, you can benefit from using Reiki because it doesn't impose a set of beliefs.
Remember, if you have a chronic or acute illness, are injured or in pain, or need surgery, you can safely use Reiki in conjunction with other treatments.
Responses to Reiki
Although everyone may have a different reaction or experience when they have a session, we find that it may vary from feeling heat or a tingling sensation flowing throughout the body, or an emotional release, or even a deep sense of relaxation, notwithstanding, the results are still quite remarkable.
With Reiki You Can• Relieve stress and tension in your body
• Feel better about yourself
• Enhance the quality of life
• Sleep more soundly
• Experience serenity and well-being
• Strengthen your immune system for better health
• Heal faster after an injury
• Reduce pain and anxiety
• Reduce the side-effects of medication
• Recover faster from an anesthetic
• Reduce the effects of radiation and chemotherapy
Testimonials
"I felt the power of healing without any form of manipulation. I am so grateful for the pain relief, comfort and reassurance I felt after the Reiki session." Robert
"My pain was gone after a few Reiki sessions, I felt peace and tranquility. My CT scans were looking better." Artemis
"Emotions were unleashed, I felt relieved and more in control with life. My blood pressure is not as high as it used to be." Maria
What to Expect During a Reiki Session
We're all different. You'll find that responses to a Reiki session are different too and your response can vary from session to session.
You might experience a deep sense of relaxation, an emotional release or feel a warm or tingling sensation throughout the body. Nevertheless the remarkable healing benefits of Reiki are best experienced first hand.
Reiki sessions last one hour and cost $60.00.

Holistic Counselling
As a Holistic Counsellor, I have helped many clients with issues such as,
Self worth and improving self esteem
Depression
Making major life changes (When you need to make important decisions and are not sure what to do next)
Improving performance skills
Anger
Coping with separation and new relationships
Creating more awareness to your inner needs and desires
Emotional healing and support
Stress and anxiety including performance anxiety
Improving the relationship and communication with self and others
Career guidance and goal setting
Being more assertive
Dealing with confrontation
Addictions
Unblocking the emotions that hold you back from being the best you can be.
We are all individual and therefore respond or react differently to life and stressful situations. A friend could be experiencing frustration and anger, while you are experiencing confusion. Yet another person may be experiencing depression or loss of job. How do we deal with this? How can we see things more clearly? Holistic counselling can help.
Holistic counselling incorporates mind body and spirit awareness in conjunction with techniques from many sources to help facilitate awareness. By the word spirit, I am referring to the essence of who you are, your true self. (No reference to anything religious). If necessary it will incorporate other modalities to help meet the client’s individual needs such as meditation, visualisation and a closer look at how we use our mind both consciously and unconsciously.
Holistic counselling also creates the awareness of specific life skills that can help you experience a more balanced holistic way of living.
The counselling is aimed at adults, couples and adolescents and also offers a phone counselling service.
I offer you confidentiality,
unconditional acceptance and genuineness.

Passion & Life Purpose Counselling
This specific counselling is for anyone who has ever thought, "How can I get a job that I feel passionate about or do passionate things if I don't really know what I want?" Well, would you like to know??????
I have helped many people discover passionate work or experiences that have meaning, purpose, and satisfaction.
If you are reading this section, chances are you are one of those people who would like to be in charge of your own life. Living passionately is what makes you jump out of bed each day and retire at peace with yourself each night.
When we say the word passion people often think of what work they can do. If you can earn money working passionately that's great, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be work. People who live passionately know it because what they are doing makes them happy and alive and does not infringe on anybody else.
Everybody has a place to fill in life that nobody else can fill? By filling this space, we are giving ourselves and each other a very special gift.
"Your natural gifts are what constitutes your unique contribution to the world's happiness." Aimee Leumans

I’ve travelled around half the world
looking for my real self.
It felt like I was playing hide and seek
with an energy I didn’t even understand.
Then finally one day I looked inside my own heart,
there was my real self-smiling and it said
‘I guess it’s game over, welcome home.’

You are the genie in the bottle
The law of manifestation
Written by Frank La Macchia
The genie represents our spiritual nature, our highest consciousness.
The bottle represents the physical world around us.
The cork is a symbol of our beliefs, our ego personality, our inner critic.
It is these beliefs that can free us or limit us.
How would you feel if you knew that you were the co- creator of your life and that you are manifesting in your life right now?
As a metaphysician and professional musician since the age of 14, my own personal experiences and knowledge conclusively supports documented research and what has been known for centuries – that we have this amazing power of manifestation.
Over the years, hundreds of people have asked me how they, too, can manifest in their lives. The simple answer is, that you already are manifesting – as a result of what you continually focus and think about. We do it consciously or unconsciously throughout our lives. Sometimes unfortunately we end up with things or circumstances that we don’t necessarily want and wonder how they prevailed. We almost wish we had the power of hindsight to help us with simple solutions to some perplexing problems.
The good news is, you can actually transform hindsight into foresight, which can be accessed by being still, tuning in and listening to what your feelings are telling you. Foresight is resting in your deepest truth with the rest of the qualities of faith, belief, passion, trust, love and miracles – just to name a few, and of course whatever you perceive God or the Universe to be. It resides in this common space of silence that we can all access. If you want to know where to find it, look inside your own heart, all too often the last place we look. In your own heart, the hours are 24/7 and no appointment is required. Simply place your hand on your heart, and wait for your feelings to show you in. Once you are in, communicate with them and listen carefully with full awareness and observation.
The other main character that comes along for the ride on our journey, if we allow it to is fear. This is all the doubts and uncertainties that we may or may not acknowledge. Fear is best mates with criticism, judgment and some of the other destructive crew like guilt, shame and worry. The comedian of the ship is laziness who only shows up on Sundays. They all party and sail on the ship of illusion and are the experts in helping you get what you don’t want. The ship is called ‘EGO ROCKS’. If you want to know where to find the ship then go for a cruise, look inside your own mind and I bet you they’ll be there with bells on. They do anything to keep you from your heart because they intuitively know that darkness (fear) disappears in the presence of light (love).
A lot of people focus on and think about what they don’t want instead of focusing on what they do want.
Another question that is often asked is “how did I get what I did not want”???
It’s well known that what is focused on in thought, expands. So if you focus on the problem, the negativity of the problem expands, if you focus on the solution, the solution expands, problem solved. It’s really that simple. In fact it’s so simple that a lot of people don’t buy it until you make it complicated.
Here is how this works in more detail
The mind is an inborn quality, an instrument that when it is used in a focused way starts to create events in our lives. It does not discriminate or judge what you focus on. It doesn’t know whether it’s something you want or don’t want. It just simply understands, “let’s go for it”. This is why it’s imperative to observe what you are thinking, saying and what you continually focus on.
When you put your energy and thoughts into something you don’t want, you actually start creating more of what you don’t want. In other words if you stay on the boat ‘EGO ROCKS’ you will eventually invest your energy and slowly but surely become those thoughts.
Let us examine some classic thought processes that can be clearly and only heard from the boat ‘EGO ROCKS’.
“You watch, I’ll bet you I’ll make a mistake in my speech tonight”. “You’re an idiot, I can’t have that, I don’t deserve it”. “Oh no!, its winter and here comes the cold”. “It’s just too hard I’ll never get it”. And the most popular statement is,” I can’t do that. ! WHAT WILL THEY THINK”? This last statement can really stop you from getting what you want. It can also help you become the manifestation of somebody else’s reality. In other words, you may live somebody else’s truth rather than your own. Seek advice not approval
I’m sure you can come up with many more examples of your own. How on earth are any of the above thoughts going to help you achieve what you do want??? How will “it’s just too hard, I’ll never get it” going to help you get it???? If you keep sending out negative energy and thought patterns to yourself and the world, you will keep seeing that energy in your own life. But you see, we often say and do things unconsciously - or even consciously - without being aware of what the consequences are. You cannot manifest abundance from thoughts of “I have nothing in my life”. You will start to create more of having nothing. And you know, it’s not what you want. One way of knowing what you’ve been focusing on is by observing what you have in your life right now. Reflect for a few minutes on your life and ask yourself, how have I contributed to what I have in my life?
Changing your way of being
First, you need to get clear on what it is you want to create for yourself. Then begin to consciously change your thoughts, words, actions and what you focus on to match your greatest vision. For example “How can I create more abundance in my life? “How can I attract more love into my life”. This will open up new and infinite possibilities for you to choose from. Remove the words” I can’t” from in front of your sentences – “I can’t” shuts off all possibilities.
The more we direct our energies and become conscious of what we are being, thinking and doing, the more power we have to create the circumstances and events in our lives that we truly desire. Then, we can make the shift from fancifully wanting things, to actively and consciously creating them into a reality.
You will experience miracles all around you
when you see life more by its possibilities
rather than its limitations.
Go for it
