My Late Summer and Autumn News

My first bit of news is that September is 'Reflexology Month' and to celebrate I am offering a 20% discount off of all Reflexology treatments taken and booked (up until the end of December) in this month...so if you book your Reflexology treatments from now until Christmas, you will get 20% off all of them...how is that for a bit of a bargain!

The other thing that I have noticed is that there seems to be an air of pro-activeness to this year!  I feel that we no longer look solely to others to make us feel well and good about ourselves and that generally we are more pro-active in wanting to do things to heal ourselves.   I think that the Universe is working to help us to help ourselves and there seem to be more people wanting to learn Reiki in order to make themselves and their families feel better physically, and EFT in order to ease their minds and emotions.  I have been seeing an increase in people wanting to learn to meditate to combat stress and find out how to do Hopi Ear Candling to use on their partners and children.  These skills are tools in our tool kits, that can be dipped into when we need them....did you know that Reiki self-healing can be used to combat insomnia and help you sleep better and EFT can be used to take away nerves before a meeting or an exam?

Have a good late summer and autumn everyone.  With much love and light,

Cherri

Half-day Retreat

Knowledge - Reflection – Meditation

Saturday 3rd December 2011

10am until 2pm

This is a special time for my clients, students and their invited friends to connect with like-minded friends, to share knowledge and experiences and seek new perspectives. Take this time out to refresh and renew, tend your ‘inner self’ or sit quietly in contemplation amongst friends. Take time-out for you!

Guest speakers will be announced shortly.

The Universe always hears us, but sometimes it is nice to be a little more pro-active and do something physical to send our wishes, requests, prayers and thoughts skyward. I am currently sourcing the most beautiful Wish Paper, in order to do just this...so bring with you some words to send to the Universe and we will send them up into the sky together in a beautiful garden ceremony.:)

I will be leading a guided meditation at the end of the retreat for all those who would like to take part and will be more than happy to talk to you about your spiritual journey, balance chakras and share hugs:-)

As usual, the kitchen will be open for hot/cold drinks, cakes and biscuits and the dining room will be awash with books and divination cards for your use.

Come along and have your say about who you would like to give a talk, presentation, etc, at the next Retreat in March 2012. I am open to all suggestions and if I can make it happen I will:-)

There is a small fee of only £5 for my existing students to attend (and £10 for like-minded friends who would like to join us). To reserve your place please comment below or email me at cherrimatthews@btinternet. com.

I am really looking forward to seeing you all in September.
With much love and light,
Cherri

Discount for all New Clients

I would like to offer all new clients a £5.00 discount when visiting me for the first time in October 2011.  Just mention that you have seen this offer on my website when you book your appointment in order to receive your discount when you visit.  I want to encourage as many people as possible to take a pro-active step in making themselves feel better in 2011!

Discounts Available All Year!

Don’t forget all the usual discounts permanently on offer throughout the year:-

• Book 5 reflexology treatments and get the 6th one HALF PRICE!  (Cannot be used with any other offer)                                       
• 20% discount off all treatments for Students, Senior Citizens, Nurses and fellow Therapists.

The above discounts cannot be used in conjunction with any other discounts or special offers.  

Please Postpone Your Appointment if you are Ill!

Please do NOT attend for your appointment if you have a cold, flu, virus or are ill!  The reason for this is because I do not want to risk cross-contamination, i.e. passing your cold through me to another client.  I am being tough this spring and saying "NO"!  My regular clients will already have noticed that I am asking them to rub anti-bacterial hand gel into their hands when they come through the door and I really appreciate your cooperation in doing this - you are all fabulous!

There is another reason for not having a treatment when you are ill and this is because your healing reaction can be stronger.  A healing reaction is simply that - it is your body's way of taking on board the healing you have received during a treatment.  Also, after a treatment your body will be detoxing itself and if you are ill this process will be more intense.  A normal healing reaction, if you have one (and if you don't that is fine too), can take the form of having a headache or feeling a little 'coldy' or under the weather.  So if you are ill and have a treatment, your healing reaction could be stronger and more uncomfortable.  Some people feel energised and euphoric after a treatment, but this reaction seldom occurs if you have a treatment whilst ill.

One or two clients have attended for their treatment lately full of cold and have been disappointed when I sent them home again.  After explaining about the healing reaction, their response was that they wanted a treatment in order to bring out their cold!  Unfortunately a healing reaction does not work in this way and the chances are that they would have felt much, much worse and very probably not felt up to going to work the next day!

So on this occasion I am going to say "trust me, I'm a therapist" when I say that having a treatment whilst ill is not good for you.  Wait a couple of days until you are better and then come back to see me, you will get far more out of your treatment if you have it when you have recovered!  You will not be charged if you cancel on the day of your appointment if you are genuinely ill:-)  I want you to spend your money wisely and make you feel better, not worse!

I wish you a happy and very healthy late summer and autumn:)
