Autumn Newsletter

 

Well, my big news of the moment is that I have made the decision to cut the cost of my treatments during November, December and January with my new 'credit crunch' price list.  These are traditionally hard months for everyone, mostly because we are all saving for Christmas and then all broke in January as we pay off the festive season.  But this year it is extra hard, namely because of the so called 'credit crunch'. 

Over the past couple of months I have seen so many of my therapist colleagues either go out of business or have to supplement their income by getting another job.  This is because during times of hardship the first things to go are 'luxury items'.  Whilst I would love to describe myself as a luxury item, I would rather think of myself as a basic necessity.....more Asda than Marks and Spencer!

Your health and well-being are not things that should be last on your list of priorities and the first things to be cut.  How many people and things do you put before yourself?  If you are anything like me, you will put your husband, children, parents, work, colleagues and the dog first and think of yourself last.  But if you are run down, stressed, frazzled and worn out, how can  you look after everyone else effectively?

So, in response to many of my clients canceling their appointments due to lack of funds, I have decided to respond to market forces and have made the decision to bend to the financial situation of our country and cut all my prices.  This way, not only might my own business survive the current crisis, but hopefully my clients will be able to afford to continue to look after themselves as well. 

When my clients come to see me I listen intently to what they say and respond accordingly.  I always allow two hours per treatment session, so that I can respond to what my client needs at that time.  This might be extra time to talk or some EFT combined with their regular reflexology session because of stress at work, for example.  Every client is an individual and so I take an individual approach to healing and to every treatment session.  So now I am listening to what my clients need by cutting the cost of my treatments, simply so that they can all continue to take care of themselves by coming to see me.

When we give ourselves away so much to our work and other people in our lives, I belive passionately that it is so important that we take care of ourselves too and this is why I have listened to my clients and responded accordingly!

So please don't put yourself last........I am trying to help you not do this by putting you first.

Wishing you all a cosy and stress free autumn. Take care all.  With love and light,

Cherri

The Reiki Retreat Day has been Cancelled!

I am so sorry, but the Reiki Retreat Day has been cancelled due to lack of interest!  I had hoped to make this a yearly tradition, so that everyone could come together and really get something out of the experience. 

Unfortunately, everyone says they would like to have a retreat day, have monthly Reiki shares, keep in touch, etc, but when it actually comes to doing it no-one is really interested.....this is why I stopped opening my house every three months for a Reiki share day.  As you can probably guess, I do get a little despondent about this.   

But please do know that I am here for all of my Reiki students and that if you ever need me, or would like to discuss your Reiki journey, all you have to do is call, email or pop round for a cup of tea:-)  Also, please check out my Ning site, there are now 27 members and there is some regular chat going on, so take full advantage and use it!  I have invited all of my Reiki students and like-minded friends to join, but if you have not received an invitation or have any problems getting onto the site please let me know.  

Again, I am so sorry that the day is not going ahead, I would have loved to have had a wonderful retreat day with a full house and to have spent time with you all.  I will have a BIG THINK! about whether to do it again next year and will let you know if I do.

Don’t Forget Discounts

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

  • Book 5 reflexology treatments and get the 6th one FREE.
  • Combine two full treatments and receive a 20% discount.                                                
  • 20% discount off all treatments, workshops and courses for Students, Senior Citizens and Nurses.

I had a client come to visit me last week, who happened to be a nurse, and she asked me why I offered a discount to nurses.  My reply was simple, my parents are both Senior Citizens and unfortunately from time to time have had to spend time in hospital.  During that time we have met some good nurses (and one or two not so good ones!), but the good ones have been very, very good.  I think that nurses do a very difficult job, under very difficult circumstances, and to say 'thank you' for looking after my Mum and Dad I would like to give something back to you (in my small way) by offering you a discount!

We love nurses......and Senior Citizens!

Time to Make a Change

Do you know someone who wants to give up smoking, has a phobia (such as being afraid of flying or spiders), suffers from panic attacks or is in chronic pain? If so, then E.F.T. (Emotional Freedom Technique) may well be the answer.

These are just some of the conditions that EFT can help:

  • addictions
  • low self esteem
  • agoraphobia
  • migraines
  • anger
  • nightmares
  • anxiety
  • obsessions
  • bitterness
  • pain management
  • claustrophobia
  • panic attacks
  • compulsions
  • phobias
  • depression
  • fears
  • grief
  • resentment
  • guilt
  • sadness
  • habits
  • shame
  • insomnia
  • limiting beliefs
  • sports performance
  • physical aches & pains
  • slimming
  • post traumatic stress disorder
  • exam nerves

 

This amazing energy treatment works on the Meridian (energy) Lines within our bodies (using similar principles to Acupuncture and Acupressure) to help release unwanted mental or emotional blockages, even helping to release problems that may have been present for years. For most people just few sessions of E.F.T. can help treat many past, present and even future emotional problems, fears, phobias and addictions.

One of the many exciting aspects of this relatively new therapy is the speed with which it can work. Also, once learned it is a tool for life, to be used quickly and easily in any situation when needed. Please feel free to telephone me on (01793) 871410 or 07720635761 (mobile) for more information or to discuss whether this amazing therapy would be suitable for you, or someone you care about.

Aching Feet

If you suffer from achy feet, there are things that you can do to help yourself between Reflexology sessions.  If you don't have a partner who can be bribed to give you regular foot rubs, one solution is to take a can (baked beans or anything past its sell-by date in the back of the cupboard!), place it on the floor in front of you (side ways on), and gently roll your feet backwards (towards you) and forwards (away from you).  This will give your feet a gentle work-out, boost your circulation and gently help to keep your feet 'awake' during the cold winter months after being stuck in snug-fitting shoes and boots.
