You have no idea how excited I am to post this...

It’s official, I am now a qualified Reiki practitioner!

I’ve wanted to learn Reiki for years but it hasn’t been the right time until now. The right teacher came along at the right time and everything aligned that allowed me to do it.

Having grown up with many different animals and having a huge passion for horses and being an experienced horsewoman myself, I always wanted to work with them in some way. Reiki has now bought that to me and I am so incredibly delighted by that.

Animal Reiki is a gentle, yet effective complementary therapy that promotes deep relaxation and natural healing. It works by using energy to heal the animal on many levels, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It is non invasive and uses no pressure or manipulation. It is a holistic therapy treating the cause of the problem and not just the presenting condition. Reiki is suitable for all animals and it works safely alongside Veterinary medicine.

How Animal Reiki can help your animal:

• Calm anxious and nervous behaviour.
• Help provide more ease and relaxation with stressful situations such as fireworks, house moving or the loss of a human or animal companion.
• Relieve pain and tension due to surgeries or aging.
• Grief and emotional traumas.
• Joint / Muscular pain, tightness & discomfort.
• Gastric problems.
• Skin conditions & Allergies.
• Behavioural Issues.
• Injuries.
• Infections.

My newest client is the very gorgeous Burty. Pictured below you can see him mid treatment and then a before and after picture of his session. I think its clear to see from the photos how much he enjoyed his Reiki session with me.

Animal Reiki can bring ease to your animal in so many ways both in person and distantly. With fireworks night approaching next month, my next blog will be centered around how you can support your animal during this time.

As a member of a professional complementary therapy body we regularly get updates on current and new therapies. When I saw the advert appear for Facial Emotional therapy, the energy in my world expanded and I new I had to include it in my business. 

As it happened, I was the first person from the UK to enroll on the course and after several months of committed learning and submitting video footage of practice sessions, I gained my practitioner qualification and am now offering it as another treatment in my Alton and Petersfield therapy rooms.  

So what is Facial Emotional Therapy?
Facial Emotional Therapy is a gentle non-invasive treatment, designed specifically to work in sync with the nervous system, giving the opportunity to experience peace and rejuvenation through sensitive touch and soothing strokes over the meridian system.​
Working directly on the face, head, and neck accesses many of the significant energy points relating to the various systems of the body, clearing stress levels and emotional blockages allowing relaxation and clarity of mind to take place. The entire body experiences a sense of deep and profound state of bliss, making you feel re-energised and leaving you looking refreshed and younger.​
This treatment merges techniques drawn from physiotherapy, kinesiology, facial harmony, brain gym, reiki, remedial massage, and reflexology.  

Client feedback..
Following my Facial Emotional Therapy session with you, I slept very deeply and had dreams that represented old situations. My face looks more symmetrical and relaxed and the skin softer. My whole body felt and looked less puffy. Most glorious of all, I have lost the miserable feeling that has been underlying everything for I cant remember how long! Optimism and happiness levels are up. Thank you so much'. 

I am so excited for what this amazing therapy can create for my clients and really cannot wait to see it grow and gain more recognition in the energy therapy world.

Have you heard of the Access Bars treatment?

Sitting on your shoulders is the most complex object in the known Universe ... your Brain.

Do we take care of this amazing part of our bodies? Or do we ignore it, expecting it to cope with the huge amounts of stress, pressure and trauma which modern life and living puts on it day in, day out: year in, year out?

How much is your own Brain coping with?

Stress, Anxiety and Mental Health illnesses are all results of the uncared for and overwhelmed brain.

BUT... did you know there are ‘defrag’ buttons on your brain?
These buttons are called The Bars.
When held they begin to dissipate the neural-electrical charges in the brain; which can eliminate stress, emotional blocks and limitations in your life.

Do something to look after the most precious gift you have and book an Access Bars treatment.

This revolutionary treatment is now available with me at Halsa in Petersfield. 

To book or make further enquiries please use the contact form. ​

​On the blog this week I asked one of my fantastic colleagues at Pure, Alton to guest blog for me. Here, Claire Sendall, a nutritionist specialising in Gut & Thyroid health talks about the link between Anxiety & Depression and Nutrition.

Anxiety & Depression
In my practice as a Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist I find it a rarity when someone does not tick the stress/anxiety box on their intake questionnaire; it is pervasive.  I am all about finding the route cause of illness and disease, but this is usually only one of their many symptoms.  I find that when support is given with anxiety and depression through food, supplementation, lifestyle changes and counselling, the relief promotes motivation and hope.  Feeling more positive is a better to place to start when someone is trying to heal from other health conditions.
In my travels in the complementary field of health I came across Dr Dietrich Klinghart who lead me  to the condition known as Pyroluria – it is a biochemical cause of anxiety which is both a controversial and understudied condition which has significant implications in the treatment of anxiety. First discovered in the 1950s by Dr. Abram Hoffer, pyroluria is a genetic condition of altered haemoglobin breakdown, resulting in a depletion of vitamin B6. Without adequate B6, the body is not able to convert tryptophan to serotonin. In the absence of adequate serotonin levels, many different psychiatric disorders, like anxiety and depression can develop.
A normal by-product from the breakdown of haemoglobin, kryptopyrroles are found in elevated amounts in individuals with this genetic abnormality. As the pyrroles are being excreted from the body, they bind 2 important nutrients, vitamin B6 and zinc. The elevated levels of kryptopyrroles create a higher demand for B6 and zinc and subsequently may cause a relative deficiency. This relative deficiency results in a myriad of different symptoms that wax and wane over the years, depending on someone’s level of stress. Decompensated pyroluria is marked by symptoms of inner tension, nervous exhaustion and fearfulness.
Vitamin B6 is necessary for the conversion of tryptophan to the neurotransmitter serotonin, and plays important roles in proper protein and carbohydrate metabolism and a healthy immune system. Zinc regulates insulin activity, acts as a powerful antioxidant, plays a central role in immune function and regulates gene expression.
Pyroluria can be tested, but in most cases I start my clients with zinc, vitamin B6 or P5P and evening primrose oil, plus a good multi-vitamin (with manganese and no copper) and a multi-mineral and sometimes additional magnesium.
This doesn’t address the route cause but making dietary and lifestyle changes requires commitment and motivation, and most often these changes when implemented mean that the serotonin in the gut is improved and the client can take back control of their life and health

Hi Everyone 👋

I’m Amber and I am a holistic therapist specializing in an incredible therapy called Access Bars.

Not everyone has heard of this therapy but it can be life changing.

A very gentle therapy, The Bars are 16 Bars of energy running through and around your head which are lightly held in sequence during a session ... termed 'running the Bars'.
Likened to a 'defrag' button on the brain, the Bars treatment begins to clear away all the thoughts, feelings and emotions that create limitations in your life.
Studies of the Bars by experts in Bio Feedback show changes in the brainwaves … going from Beta to Theta during the course of one Access Bars session.

To name but a few, here are some of the many things Access Bars can help with:

•Fears & Phobias
•Grief
•Emotional Overwhelm
•PTSD
​•Negative reactions to people/situations
•Anxiety & panic attacks
•Stress & depression
•Sleep disturbance & Insomnia
•Physical discomfort & pain
•Behavioural difficulties in children
•Mind chatter & negative thoughts
•Lack of interest in life & future
•Feelings of hopelessness
•Relationship difficulties
•Lack of confidence
•Suicidal thoughts​
•Weight loss
•Fibromyalgia
•Endometriosis

The taster day is the perfect way to experience this amazing therapy for the first time and find out about some of the other treatments can offer.

The taster sessions will run for 30 minutes per client and will include a short consultation for a small fee of £10 at  Halsa, Petersfield.
To book your session please send me a pm on Facebook or an email via my website. ​

We all suffer from the effects of stress at some point in our lives and as we approach the festive season that can increase even more for some. Small and large business owners, parents, those on a low wage and people on their own to name but a few, all suffer and it affects more than you may realize.

Staying in a state of high alert and stress is so damaging to our bodies, not just mentally but physically too. Making time for relaxation is so important and even more so at busier times. It gives your body and mind the chance to return to its restful state, lowering blood pressure, boosting immunity and repairing the body.

When you allow this simple practice into your life you will notice some amazing changes! You will feel better, productivity increases, things will seem easier, your relationships improve and you will feel happier.

For some, you may be able to make space daily for this. Simple things like taking 30 mins for a nice bath or reading a chapter of a book in a quiet space, lighting a candle and just watching the flame as you focus on your breathing all create a place of relaxation and give that much needed break.

Alternatively, if you need help to do this then you can visit me for an Access Bars session. In just a one hour session, it helps you to relax and is scientifically proven to slow your brain waves down. It provides that much needed 'reset' to the mind. If you are a business owner this could be a really amazing way to help not only yourself but also your employees.

How can you take time to relax today?

​I am constantly amazed by the incredible results this treatment brings.
My latest success is one of my own. I’ve been a very nervous flyer for well over 10 years now. So bad, I drugged myself just to get in the airport and even then, I was constantly topping myself up with rescue remedy and yet I would still physically shake and be in tears when I boarded the plane.
I’ve just taken my first flight since I’ve been receiving access bars treatments myself and I got to the airport, got on the plane, enjoyed the flight (even with a bit of turbulence) and landed all without the slightest touch of anxiety, panic or terrors that this usually brings and all without taking anything! I’m absolutely blown away.
The beauty of this therapy is that it just WORKS and on so many areas of your life. I had no idea when I started this that I would end up enjoying flying again amongst other things. It’s just incredible.

If you have a fear of flying too, this could be you! 

Book your appointment with me today.
