Thank you!
I want to thank all those of you who have been able to continue to support me this year. Not everyone has been able to do so, for a host of reasons. Not least of which is that it is tough out there right now. So, hats off to you all, whatever your situation. This too shall pass, nothing is permanent.
I am still here doing what I do and loving it even more every day. No session is ever the same, and I’m always learning more and deepening my understanding of the energy body.
I’ve been very happy to establish my new clinic in Levin, primarily on Mondays, but also select other days of the week. I have a lovely group of clients building here.
Wherever you see me, know that I will continue to work with you there. Please spread the word if you know of someone who might benefit. You are my best advocates!
A couple of notices are followed by a short reflection.
Price increase 1 January. Almost everything is going up on the supply side, and I’m travelling a lot more these days to maintain three clinics. I’m also GST registered now, and it’s been almost 2 years since I increased my prices. I want to give notice that my prices across all sessions will increase by $5 each from 1 January. Hopefully, prices will stay the same then for another 2 years.
If you buy single sessions at a time, then please note that 4 Packs are a much more economic way to buy sessions. For those that can commit to 6 or 12 months, then Memberships are even cheaper again. There are also good package deals for anyone that can get corporate sponsorship for health and wellness. Just ask me for details.
Probono sessions. I’m more than happy to continue see anyone who has straitened circumstances right now. If you can make a koha donation, then that will be gratefully received, but this is not compulsory. I don’t want anyone that needs this therapy to be deprived, simply because of their current situation.
I am making a slight change to my conditions around monthly probono sessions. Now, only those that genuinely can’t afford fully paid sessions can use them. However, you don’t need to prove this to me – your word is sufficient.
There are presently 8 people who see me every regularly for the probono service, they all absolutely need it, and it is my privilege to provide it for them.
Negativity bias? Impostor syndrome?
Man, I hate those terms. They should be banished from whatever dictionary they hatched from. We are all absolutely valid individuals, and we were put on this earth for a good reason. We all contribute to humanity in our own way, whether we appreciate it or not. Just smiling at a shop assistant or saying a cheery hello to a stranger, adds positivity to their day that wasn’t there before. It helps them feel part of the team we call the human race. The number one cause of mental health conditions is disconnection from others, from society. So reconnect, but in your own way.
No matter how many problems you think you have, or how much you are struggling, what shame you might wear, or how much grief in your tote bag, or how bad your memory might be, or whatever other thing you struggle with - know that in all your imperfections, you are absolutely perfect, absolutely complete. Sure, we are all always learning, but that’s what we are here for.
And guess what else? You are also a spiritual being, automatically. The only question is how open you are to that. That’s not anywhere outside you; it’s on the inside. Get quiet and have a look some time.
One other thing, in all your perfect imperfection, you are absolutely loveable. So start your day falling back in love with yourself (not in the egoic sense). Then go and smile at someone you love, or someone new, and make their day with your own magic!
