Get swapping!

You know, us therapists, generally speaking, are absolutely rubbish at getting treatments for ourselves. Always focused on healing others, we often overlook our own needs. Haven't got time. Can't afford it. I'm fine really. We are masters of the excuse.

Fortunately, after a rapid bit of networking in my local area, I managed to wrangle a massage and Reiki session with the lovely Lisa Cherry - www.holistic-health.me.uk. Marvellous. All I had to do was reciprocate with a session of acupuncture.

Lisa's life experiences have made her a truly remarkable therapist, and she is incredibly intuitive. She completely understood my own emotional problems and repetitive thought patterns! She started with a wonderfully tension busting back, neck and shoulder massage and then went into the Reiki.

I've been attuned to Reiki 1 and as soon as Lisa started the Reiki I felt my hands start with the familiar warmth and buzzing sensation. It was very, very relaxing. I certainly felt a few blockages clear (no pun intended) and spent the rest of the day floating around in a not-so familiar bubble, with me repeating the question in my head: Why don't I do this more often?

So, my recommendation to you therapists out there, is to find another therapist, make a new friend and offer to swap some treatments.

You'll love it.
