Shiatsu

Shiatsu

Shiatsu can effectively treat a range of musculo-skeletal and stress-related issues. Gentle pressure, stretches and rotations help to stimulate the body’s own self-healing ability. A session can be in person or at a distance.

Reiki

Reiki

Reiki is an energy healing system that can bring relief to physical, mental and emotional issues. Give yourself an energetic ‘spring clean’ to improve vision and clarity. A session can be in person or received at a distance.

Qi Gong

Qi Gong

Qi Gong is a mind and movement practice that uses posture and intention to move and strengthen Ki (energy). The slow movements, stretches and deep breathing aim to promote relaxation so that Ki can flow in the body.

Distance Healing

Distance Healing

Shiatsu and Reiki can both be received at a distance. The experience is very similar to an in-person session. Some people prefer to receive a session in the familiarity and comfort of their own space.

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.

Intelligent Energy

Every one of us has a universal energy, also known as lifeforce, chi, prana and Ki, that underpins our whole existence, and within that, our health. Stimulating the flow of Ki is how you can get well, feel great and stay well.

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!

I have had one of the best restorative and energising Reiki treatments with Sarah. I came in exhausted after yet another bad night sleep and emerged vibrant and full of energy and joy.
