Corona Virus Update

Hello everyone!

Hopefully you are feeling well and managing to find a little stillness and grounding in these uncertain times.




I wanted to let you know that I have made the decision to continue offering treatments in my clinics in Grove and Faringdon.
I feel it’s more important than ever to be offering healing and relaxation, to help reduce people's stress levels and boost their immune systems and create a sense of wellbeing.

I have also decided to offer discounts for those being financially affected by the virus. If that applies to you please just ask.
And be reassured that we are keeping the space and equipment really hygienic and putting lots of measures in place before and after sessions, sterilising all equipment etc.

Reiki, acupuncture and reflexology are amazing for the immune system and involve much less contact if that feels more comfortable to you.




Obviously, if you are having to self-isolate just let me know and I will look forward to seeing you in a few months. Keep safe and well and take this opportunity to rest and connect and look after yourself and your loved ones. Use this time to do those things you don't usually have time for - be creative, read books, nurture your garden, write poems, sort your photos out, declutter your attic etc.
Let's look towards the summer and when soon the sun will be shining and we will be hopefully through this this challenging time.

By the way, the Lotus Retreat shop in Faringdon is open, if you fancy some Indian colour.

Lots of Love,
Monika

Biker back on the road again ...

Hello everyone! It's been a while. Hopefully, spring is near, after all this rainy, windy, cold weather 🤞.

I just wanted to share one of my latest "cases" with you. A few weeks ago, I was talking to a gentleman in his late 60s whom I've met a few times in the café where my partner and I sometimes have lunch. I'd noticed that he moved as if he was in pain and asked him about it. He told me that he was indeed suffering from back and hip pain and that he had seen several doctors and therapists, but without much success. Watching him moving about, I had a notion as to what was wrong and offered to "have a look" if he agreed to see me at the clinic some time.

He booked in and when I examined him, my first impression proved to be right: it appeared that one leg was longer than the other. That doesn't mean that the leg itself is longer, it just appears like this as the thigh bone had jumped out of the hip socket and created a "pelvic misalignment".

Using the DORN method (a gentle form of chiropractic), I corrected the misalignment on his left side and also showed him some simple exercises to do at home. When he left, I asked him to update me in two weeks. When he phoned, he told me that he was almost pain-free and even managed to ride his motorbike, which he wasn't able to do, because of the pain, in a long time! He only felt a little niggle in his left hamstring when he got off his bike and booked in for another appointment.

During his second session, I checked if he had been doing his exercises - which he had - and inserted one acupuncture needle in the left gluteus maximus.

After a week, he phoned me again to tell me that he is now pain-free and would like to come and see me once a month, to keep "on top of things".

If you would like to know more about the DORN method, please get in touch.
