Unity Wellbeing UK

This week has felt really quite overwhelming, with minor health issues to deal with, a leaking washing machine that's wrecked a portion of the kitchen floor and some interpersonal challenges to boot, Saturday morning came and I just didn't want to do adult life at all.

But someone very wise said to me "just take the next step". And so I ate breakfast.

"Okay what's the next step now?" So I got in the shower.

Sometimes we need to put everything down and just take the next step.

The next step for me is joining an online mindfulness meditation practice group to restart my formal practice. It's been slipping for a long time and I don't feel anywhere near as centred.

So for anyone else who's had a hard week, just take the next step, and it's never too late to revive good habits.

Proms in the Park today was a real mood lifter, even if Daniel thought the music was 'old and boring' 🤣

One thing I'm learning...

The strongest version of me isn't the one who can do everything alone.

It's the one who knows when to soften and ask for support.

Healing has given me more than insight.

It's given me permission to be human ❤️

This is a post for the therapists that never feel like they have enough time for their clients, they're so busy they've fallen into the conveyor belt trap, and whilst your clients are happy, you know you could be giving them more...

This is also for the therapists who've wanted to work with me for a while, but weren't quite able to make the financial investment for 1:1 mentoring...

The Whole Person Healing method starts with the very basics and I truly believe that the consultation is a golden window into your client's life, and therefore their needs. Done well, it really is the bedrock of establishing great working relationships and therefore long-lasting, loyal clients who respect your time and are willing to pay a fair price for your services (that's how you get out of the conveyor belt 😉).

Conducted skillfully, a successful consultation should leave you knowing:

✨ What your client's pain points are; physically, mentally,
emotionally, relationally and practically.
✨ Exactly what it is they want/need from you and
whether their expectations are realistic or need
managing
✨ Who they are as a person and whether their values
align with yours (this is more important than you think)
✨ Not just what you'll do with them in their initial session,
but what the roadmap looks like for their regular care
from you
✨ READ THIS ONE TWICE: whether they're going to
come back, how often and how reliable they're likely to
be (yes, before you've even performed the treatment)

A Whole Person Healing style consultation should leave your clients feeling:

✨ Seen, heard and held
✨ Fully trusting in your ability to guide them through
their healing
✨ Relieved that they've found somebody who finally
understands them
✨ Excited to start the process
✨ Committed to taking responsibility for their part in the
healing
✨ Totally open to receiving

I want to trial a 2 hour masterclass on just this. If you're interested, comment CONSULTATION and I'll message you with an invite to the WhatsApp group 🙏

It's another scorcher in the studio today! ☀️

I just wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to my very patient clients for their understanding 🙏

The studio being in a conservatory isn't ideal in heatwaves, and whilst morning appointments are still very much going ahead in the cooler part of the day, afternoon appointments are admittedly taking a hit.

At the moment I'm managing to find alternative appointments for everyone affected within 2 weeks and will continue to do my best to minimise disruption, but my absolute priority is keeping you safe and comfortable, so I am very grateful for your understanding.

Have a great day everyone, stay cool, and stay hydrated! 💦

Big Love 💜✨

Life has been so so busy lately.

Between planning Zumba comeback, working 5 days, continuing the garden makeover and the general day-to-day playtime, bath time and bedtime routines, laundry, cooking etc. I might have left my self care behind a little bit.

Just a reminder that you're not the only one that lets life get in the way of taking care of yourself sometimes.

I tend to find these things come and go in ebbs and flows, but as long as I find my way back to carving out time for myself again, there's nothing major lost.

The tell-tale signs that I need to get back to prioritising myself are usually poor sleep quality (nervous system not quite at rest), a compulsion to keep busy even when I get the opportunity to rest, and my allergies getting worse (no really, your natural stress response has an impact on your immune system).

Whatever your tell-tale signs are and however long you've left it, it's never too late to get back into good habits. I went for my monthly massage this morning and it was just the reminder I needed.

Booking link is in the bio, if you need a Friday appointment, message me on WhatsApp 👍

Have a beautiful sunny weekend everyone ☀️

✨ Coming Soon! ✨

Zumba with Ruth 💃🕺

Except I'm absolutely gutted I don't have this outfit anymore 😭🤣

Watch this space 😉

Message me if you want adding to the WhatsApp Group for launch updates 👍

Back in the studio this morning with a beautiful variety of nurturing going on:

✨ Surgical aftercare - lympathic drainage for the face that was so relaxing my client fell asleep

✨ Deep tissue massage followed by Indian head massage for my second client who is receiving support with low level anxiety and lack of motivation

And that's just the first half of the day.

A big theme in life at the moment seems to be that with the rise in the cost of living, everyone is working even harder just to maintain the same standard of living. On a physical level that's tiring, but there's an additional mental toll that's a little more hidden and insidious. The quiet but steady weight of responsibility of providing for your family that while necessary, drains your energy resources.

The answer in my opinion?

💜 Deep intentional rest
💜 Allowing yourself to be nurtured and taken care of the
way you take care of everyone around you
💜 Giving your nervous system an opportunity to
remember what safety in your body feels like

That's the work we do here. So if this sounds like you, make regular self care a priority, because when you do, everyone benefits 💜 booking link is in the bio or send me a message on WhatsApp as some slots aren't available to book online 😉 07999107788
