Online class: Balanced, Happy & Whole

As lockdowns come and go, we must adapt our daily routines and schedules. We may be re-engaging with our local environment and enjoying new freedoms, or retreating into our homes and maintaining communications via technology.

Either scenario may be provoking challenging thoughts and emotions. We can navigate our external world by tuning into our inner world and developing our sensitivity, so that we can experience ourselves on a deeper level.

This session will guide you in how to do this using practices from Eastern Medicine including Qi Gong, Acupressure, Reiki and Shiatsu.

You will:

  1. Discover self-Shiatsu touch known as Do-In to start your day off right
  2. Connect with your own self-healing ability using your hands and a Reiki technique
  3. Learn the key elements of self-Shiatsu and be guided to try it on your own body
  4. Discover acupressure points on the palms and soles that help to ground and nourish
  5. Relax with a closing meditation using the Three Treasures

We can maintain health and prevent dis-ease from arising by balancing our polar energies of Yin and Yang, and helping our Ki (energy) to flow freely. This how we harmonise our energy – and feel great!

Why I support Bowel Cancer UK

I sent Reiki energy to my Dad throughout his cancer treatment which involved an operation and six months of chemotherapy. Thankfully he is now in remission. You can read about the symptoms of Bowel Cancer here.

At the time I fundraised by cycling from London to Amsterdam with an adventurous friend, navigating France and Belgium until we cruised into Holland after five long days, completely exhausted!

My background

I have been working with Ki for over a decade and love witnessing the positive impacts of practices from Eastern Medicine on people’s health and their ability to care for themselves. I initially trained in Reiki but also wanted to work more hands-on, so I studied for the three-year Professional Shiatsu Practitioner Diploma, graduating in 2019. I also qualified to teach the Qi Gong Shibashi Set One form. in January 2020 I took SJA Holistics overseas and set up home in sunny Goa, happily ‘stranded’ on lockdown.

A week of Qigong training among the trees🌳 Summer's been spent away from social media dealing with some big life stresses, renovating a 19th century cottage and enjoying a rather unexpected jaunt back into the corporate world writing about legal technologies. (It was actually fun!) In August, I was invited to talk on a podcast by a former PR friend and colleague who is such an inspiration. The amount that woman has been through! She is all about helping others to be happy which chimes with my holistic work - although for me it's about finding balance as a path to happiness, and leading a fulfilling life. We talked about how I integrate my holistic work alongside my 'heady' corporate world (15 years working in the city of London). Theyre a balance that works well for me - a bit of cognitive brain-led stuff geeking out on something techy - and then my sensing and feeling work and the eternal exploration of Chinese Medicine. There is always something new to learn! Now I'm happy to be back in community exploring 'stillness and movement', via the Shibashi Set Two, and hanging out among the hazel grove protecting the yurt - the haven for our training and the perfect sanctuary when the heavens poured and the winds blew. The elements have really thrown it all this week! I led the final meditation on our last day and of course it had to be about the oak. This tree always draws me in the most. Wherever there is an oak, I will want to be near it! The wind howled as we drifted into the ki field of our oak friends and sat in communion with the power of the tees, from roots to crown. A small but very bright rainbow was waiting for us when we stepped outside the yurt. Ive got tons of new inspiration to bring into my own and group practices as I head to tropical pastures for winter.✌️🌴 Catch me in Goa to practice Qigong in a new location - coming soon! #energymoves #qigonggoa #qigongpractice

About Me

I founded SJA Holistics to help people get well, feel great, and stay well using the power of practices derived from Eastern Medicine including Shiatsu, Reiki, Acupressure and Qi Gong.

For over a decade I’ve worked with Ki and have first-hand experience of how energy- and body-work can lead to positive health. Working with the energy body as well as the physical can bring profound changes to mental, emotional and physical issues.

After completing three years of study for the Professional Shiatsu Diploma, I honed my experience working voluntarily for six months in a national UK charity giving Shiatsu to people recovering from substance misuse.

It is my mission to help you recognise your own self-healing ability and to empower you with the skills and knowledge you need to dramatically improve your self-care.
