What's Reiki?
Reiki has been described as a "spiritual healing art" that a Reiki Practitioner performs on a person by "transmitting healing life force energy" through their hands. It's an old Japanese method of energy healing. It can be done in person or remotely/online. Reiki can assist to alleviate stress, anxiety, depression, chronic fatigue, and create a powerful sense of well-being by breaking down toxins and blockages in the body, thereby activating the body's natural cleansing system and self-healing skills.
Stef is a Reiki Master Practitioner, who can perform distant Reiki for you. The session lasts 30 minutes and will take place online from the convenience of your own home.
What's Somatic Trauma Therapy?
Somatic Trauma Therapy helps clients process trauma by addressing how it is stored in the body. It focuses on increasing body awareness, regulating the nervous system, and completing unresolved survival responses. Through techniques like grounding, breathwork, and tracking bodily sensations, clients gently process traumatic memories without becoming overwhelmed. This approach restores emotional regulation, reduces dissociation, and empowers clients to reconnect with their bodies. By discharging trapped energy and cultivating safety, clients move from chronic fight/flight or freeze into a state of balance and connection, allowing them to integrate traumatic experiences and develop healthier responses to future stressors.
What's confidentiality?
