About Me
About Me
For over 13 years I have been providing wellbeing therapies. I became involved in this area when I had Reiki Energy Balancing some 17 years ago during illness and it helped me. I believe Reiki can be amazing at balancing the energies of the body and promoting a healthy state of being. Later when studying a management degree, I learnt about the enormous toll stress has on physical and emotional health in the workplace.
Hence I tried some forms of Indian Head Massage and found they really helped me too. I experienced that practitioners provide this masssage differently. I wanted to learn all about it and how and why it is so effective at relaxing the mind and body.
I realised these therapies really helped people and that's what I wanted to do. I decided to learn it from the best, and in its original form, as developed by Indian Head Massage "Guru" Narendra Mehta, who brought this therapy to the Western world in the late 70’s early 80’s. So my form of this massage is a little different to most and trademarked Champissage.
Over time I came across, and studied, the effective therapies I now offer. My therapies are effective against stress and tension, can help all manner of ailments and conditions, are suitable for all and are non-invasive. If you haven’t had a massage or energy balancing before please give it a go! And don’t forget the Indian Face Lift or Facial Rejuvenation massage! There are more than 40 muscles in the face and we scrunch them up continuously causing tension, having a knock-on effect to our quality of sleep, sinus congestion, headaches and so on. Then there is always Far Infra-Red Whole Body Treatments which may help various conditions.
I work from my therapy room at Bright's Path, 63D Maldon High Street (next to Specsavers) CM9 5EP, as a mobile therapist in clients’ homes, offering parties, doing talks and demonstrations and worked within a number of authorities and organisations as a part of staff wellbeing programmes from 2010-2017. I was based at The Emporium in Maldon High Street for 8 years.
Working out of a High Street premises is great! I love meeting all kinds of people, older, younger, male, female, people who have massages and therapies, and people who never have. People who cannot get relief from tension related symptoms, or don’t know their symptoms can be caused by tension or are simply in need of relaxation and balance, nurturing and some “me time” or even spiritual nourishment – and it’s a wonderful feeling for me when people feel better. Please see my testimonial page and what a some my clients kindly say. My passion is to offer therapies and treatments that work to help deal with the pressures of our hectic, stressful, multi-tasking lives.
Modern day life unbalances are energies, and puts stress on our bodies. Whether that is through bad posture, emotions, poor sleep, not enough rest, lack of hydration, not breathing properly, bad habits, poor diet, ingesting chemicals and contaminants etc - our bodies tense up in response and this affects how we feel, think and behave as well as how our bodies work.
Katie's Therapies' treatments offer a way to manage stress and tension - to help the body to heal, putting my clients more in control, to promote their own wellbeing and peace of mind.
