Regina began her journey into natural health in the early nineties whilst working in a whole food shop. Intrigued by the profound effects that good nutrition has on both body and mind, she also experienced the benefits of vibrational healing methods such as Bach Flower Remedies and Homoeopathy. She later broadened her knowledge of alternative healthcare disciplines whilst working as a receptionist at the Brackenbury Clinic.

After completing an introductory course in Shiatsu with Ossi Ron, she chose to specialise primarily in energy work. Regina was attuned to Master level in Usui Reiki in spring 2009 and has a passion for both practising and teaching Reiki. She uses it daily on herself to stay well and energised, and in everyday situations, applying first-aid on her daughter and friends, as an effective non-invasive method to bring calm, relieve pain and accelerate healing.

Regina continues to further her knowledge of energy healing by training in other energy practices, and is in the final stages of gaining her qualification as a Shiatsu practitioner with the European Shiatsu School.

Reiki is a natural healing energy activated by intention. It is a gentle yet powerful way of improving well-being on all levels, as it works on the physical, the mental, and the emotional: calming the mind, relieving stress, and soothing the emotions; bringing you into balance and harmony. The practice of Reiki is an original method of healing developed by Mikao Usui in Japan early in the 20th century.

The Japanese word Reiki means 'Universal Energy'. Eastern medicine has always recognised and worked with this energy, which flows through all living things and is vital to well-being; known as 'ki' in Japan, 'chi' in China and 'prana' in India. Acupuncture, Tai Chi and Yoga are also based on the free flow of this energy in a person.

A Reiki session is usually carried out with the recipient lying down in a comfortable and peaceful environment. There is no need to remove any clothing as Reiki energy passes easily through all materials. The practitioner places their hands gently on or above the body. The recipient naturally draws in as much energy as is needed, using it in whatever way is most appropriate at the time. Reiki may be experienced as a flow of energy, mild tingling, warmth, coolness, other sensations, or nothing at all.

Reiki is deeply relaxing and has a profoundly calming effect. It is a good idea to rest for a while afterwards and drink plenty of water over the next few days to help the energy continue its work.

Whether you are a high achiever wanting more success or someone who feels frustrated by not knowing what to do next, Life Coaching can help you towards a happier, more fulfilling future.

By careful questioning a Life Coach will help you discover what you really want. We shall look at what positive changes you could make to your life, identify what obstacles need to be overcome and discover how you can realise your potential.

What Benefits Can Be Expected?

• Clarity - identifying and understanding your problems.

• Direction - developing a sense of a personal 'vision' for your future.

• Focus - concentration on what is truly important, a greater ability to prioritise.

• Decisiveness - quicker and better decisions, less delays and better quality of actions.

• Time Management - efficiency, delegation, more free time.

Achieving the life you want does not happen by chance. If you are serious about making some changes to enjoy a better life, you must be prepared to take action. Coaching will help stretch and challenge you to make changes by yourself. As your Coach, I will be offering you a customized approach that keeps you focused on what is most important to YOU. Through life skill coaching, I provide the direction, support, feedback and structure you need to thrive in your personal and professional life.

In the initial session there are charts we work through together to gain a clear picture of which aspects of your life require the most urgent attention. We decide on the weekly goals to achieve and with support, encouragement and objective advice you will find you start to get results.

You will be more successful in achieving your goals if you work with someone who will support you and hold you accountable along the way. All I ask of you is that you are ready and willing to change whatever part of your life is holding you back.

Telephone or e-mail me so we can arrange an initial appointment and have a chat about how Life Coaching might help you. I will then give you a taste of what I can help you achieve in the first session.

The moment I walked away from my first colonic session I knew that I had stumbled across a very special therapy. The moment I walked into my rat race job the next day and ignored all my paper work to research colonics I knew all I wanted to do was work towards helping others feel refreshed, revitalised and ‘better' than they did before, on whatever level that would be. Colonic therapy has proved to be a natural progression from my interest in nutrition, yoga, the body's natural ability to heal itself and what we can do for ourselves to prevent illness.

I graduated from the European College of Naturopathic Medicine in 2007 and continue to study methods of healing, relaxation and nutrition including a recent course in holistic massage.

Colonic therapy and the benefits it holds for so many continues to enthral me, I always look forward to my days at the clinic and being able to offer people an increased sense of well-being. If you are feeling at all anxious about your first colonic please be reassured that we can discuss all your concerns and keep you comfortable in your treatment.

Fees
1st appt. - £70/1 1/4 hrs

The Pilates method represents a unique approach to exercise that develops body awareness, improving and changing the body's postural and alignment habits and increasing flexibility and ease of movement. It aims to condition and improve central core stability and is essential for maintaining correct posture, balance and control of the whole body.

What is Pilates?

Pilates method incorporates unique and specialised exercises that are performed with an underlying set of fundamental principles. The exercises may be performed on a mat or with specialist equipment.

The core fundamentals of the method are based upon a thorough understanding of the anatomy of the human body. The Pilates teacher uses this information to create a comprehensive exercise programme for each client with the aim of restoring a greater sense of balance. It is this holistic approach that sets the method apart from many other forms of exercise. Indeed, osteopaths, physiotherapists and general practitioners are now recommending Pilates as one of the safest forms of exercise today.

Practiced faithfully, Pilates yields numerous benefits. Increased lung capacity and circulation through deep, healthy breathing is a primary focus. Strength and flexibility, particularly of the abdomen and back muscles, coordination - both muscular and mental - are key components in an effective Pilates program. Posture, balance, and core strength are all heartily increased. Bone density and joint health improve, and many experience positive body awareness for the first time. Pilates teaches balance and control of the body, and that capacity spills over into other areas of one's life.

The Philosophy

To connect the mind and body and achieve the following principles: • Centering • Concentration • Control • Precision • Breathing • Flowing movement

Who is it for?

Pilates suits all ages and fitness levels, including the elderly and children over 12. It is paritcularly beneficial for people with back pain, poor postures, sports injuries, arthritis, stress-related illness and before and after pregnancy. It is often used by athletes and dancers for improving technique and performance.
