Are you always exhausted? Stuck in a pain loop? Running on empty?
Being on the go all the time takes its toll. Body, mind and spirit can feel utterly drained. Maybe your mind and body can't settle. Or you might be slowly withdrawing from doing things you love, leaving only chores that don't feed the soul.

Feel more calm and centred, and ready to take on the world.
Deep relaxation is a doorway to healing. If you feel as if you have no time to relax, relaxation may be exactly what you need to feel refreshed and vital again. The hardest part is the decision to make that time.
Reducing stress and tension is key to strength with suppleness. If you press hard in all areas of your life, you may be suffering from a lack of resilience. (See my blog post on why we need resilience here.) Often rest is just what we need to make us more productive.
Be guided into a relaxing sequence of restorative poses designed to reduce tension and stress. Rest and restore supported by bolsters and blankets.
As you relax, tight muscles release, and the body moves into deep healing mode.
- Do you suffer from pain, headaches or muscle tension?
- Do you sometimes feel as if you're on a crazy treadmill? No time to slow down?
- Are you ready to choose to experience deep relaxation and freedom from stress?

Experience deep restoration through Reiki.
Life force energy is present in every breath you take. Traumatic or unsettling events in life, or the pressures of daily living, can create blocks to the flow of energy. You may feel physically, mentally or emotionally stuck, lethargic, frozen or unsettled.
A Reiki energy session can help you feel more centred, grounded, and relaxed. The energy begins to flow more freely, opening up channels to a deeper healing.

- Telomeres, on ends of chromosomes, reduce damage to DNA and lower cell death. Shortened telomeres are linked to cardiovascular disease, cancer and Alzheimers. The enzyme telomerase increases in meditators, which counteracts the shortening of telomeres by adding DNA to them.
No time to meditate? A regular practice doesn't have to be long. And you still reap the benefits.
