Discover the heart behind ReikiEma, a holistic therapist based in Cheshire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester, UK. Read about how Reiki changed Ema's life, and how ReikiEma's mission to bring better wellbeing and empowerment through healing, to people and animals. About ReikiEma Hi - I'm Ema - founder of ReikiEma, Holistic Practitioner and Teacher. I'm a geeky human, with a passion for learning, self-development, holistic and complementary therapies, and helping people (human and other species) to live their best lives! How & where I work: Holistic treatments & other client services I offer my clients treatments at locations to suit their individual circumstances and changing needs. Currently I'm able to offer treatments at clinic locations across St Helens, Warrington and Wigan. I'm also fully mobile, so provided there aren't lots of stairs to climb and as long as there's a suitable floor space, and the ability to arrange for the privacy and undisturbed time, I offer my clients the option of home visits. This is particularly popular for my pregnancy massage clients, and for those with mobility or sensory needs - but this option does also offer the advantages of a slightly lower rate (depending on distance) as well as the ability to relax and bask in the post-treatment glow, without needing to then travel back afterwards. Home visits are standard for my Animal Reiki client! This is because when they are in a familiar home/stable environment, this usually means that they'll get the most benefit from their treatment. For some of my therapies (including Animal Reiki), I offer a remote treatment option. This typically begins with a consultation on audio or video, or if preferred, by text. Once we've covered the essentials, and agreed on any goals or intentions, the call ends, you find a safe, quiet place to lie down comfortably, undisturbed for the duration of your treatment, and I get to work. Afterwards, I let you know that the treatment has concluded, by text message, and we can either have a post-treatment conversation then, or by arrangement if you'd like a day or two to allow the treatment to take effect, and settle. Working with other professionals/organisations As well as working with individuals, I also reach and help people through my work with several organisations. I've done this in a range of ways: helping support wellbeing and/or recovery, through treatments, wellbeing workshops, demonstrating and sharing knowledge on different tools and techniques, to help empower people in developing their own personal self-care and self-treatment regime. I am also an experienced public speaker, and can offer workshops, demonstrations and wellbeing resources and reference materials at events. I'm proud to have worked with: The UK Reiki Federation (of which I'm a Member): as a regular speaker on their Wellbeing Webinar sessions I run self-healing and Reiki technique tutorial/practice sessions monthly, and I've spoken at the last two UK Reiki Federation Annual Conferences ). Warrington Carers' Hub (with their Young Carers and adult carers); Warrington Halton & St. Helens' RSPCA animal centre; Warrington Jobcentre (a Reiki talk/demonstration at their staff wellbeing meeting); Warrington Jobcentre's Health Support Fairs; Bents Garden Centre (Animal Reiki during their "BarkFest" Event weekend); Women's Institute (Birchwood Branch); Thrive event (for survivors of high-demand religions); University of Chester (proposing, and working on, a study looking into the behavioural effects of Animal Reiki on several of the resident dogs at the centre). Warrington Disability Awareness Day 2024 (Walton Gardens)- where I unveiled my new Reiki Gazebo MacIntyre's Apple Day 2024 (in the New Routes Community Orchard ) Strong Girls' Club NorthWest Sam's Diamonds Cancer Support Charity's Northwest Wellbeing & Cancer Care Conference, St Helens Volunteering and advocating for Reiki I'm also honoured to be a member of the UK Reiki Federation's Research Group (since 2024). This does mean a lot of commitment and work, but I'm willing to do that, as it really aligns with my ongoing efforts at helping to build awareness and public trust, and by doing this, to help build the credibility of the Reiki profession in the UK - and in the wider world! This is, I believe, much needed work, to help remove blockers to Reiki being even more widely accepted, acknowledged and integrated into mainstream services, so that it can have the maximum opportunity to help improve lives. Reiki is so accessible and safe - and it can help alleviate suffering and improve the quality of live for so many. That's what I want to see, and that's what my driving mission is - to help make accessible, better wellbeing for everyone - no exceptions! When Reiki came into my life, it was like coming home. And after my first Reiki 1 attunement, I realised that there was another way for me to help people to achieve positive change - one which was on a much deeper level, and would be better for my wellbeing, as well as making a more meaningful impact for the people I helped. So I took the scary decision to step away from the Public Sector Senior Project Management role I had worked most of a decade to attain, and took the brave leap into training from scratch as a Holistic Practitioner! I do still have my Project Management and business knowhow to help me succeed, for which I'm extremely grateful. No learning or experience is ever a waste of time, where Reiki's concerned! I'm so blessed to do what makes my heart happy, and to help people discover the powerful, moving, wonder of Reiki and the other therapies I offer. I founded ReikiEma in early 2020, as soon as I qualified as a professional Reiki practitioner - and despite my (arguably questionable) timing, I'm still very much here - being tenacious, flexible and creative. Being creative is something I've always thrived on - finding new ways to take my work forward, supporting and helping others (and myself, too)! I'm now a qualified, experienced Reiki Master Teacher and CNHC practitioner, offering treatments and Reiki courses in the North-west of England. I also started volunteering during lockdown. It is really important for me, my wellbeing and ethos to give back, and to help causes I'm passionate about. It's my dream to be able to do more of this, in the future, as I build my business; - and it's my hope to someday found a Reiki School / Animal Sanctuary/Rescue, combined with a residential Animal Reiki school and healing volunteering retreat centre for humans! I've already achieved one of my major dreams, and am now registered with the CNHC (the UK Government's Regulator for Complementary Therapies)! I'm also a UK Reiki Federation-accredited Reiki for Animals Professional practitioner. Having given Reiki to many of the animals at my local RSPCA centre as a volunteer, during lockdown, I realised that working with other species is a huge part of my calling. What a blessing and a learning opportunity it's been for me, too! “Ema is always so calm, understanding and patient with the animals. She is … extremely adaptable to suit each animal's needs. Most of the animals which come into our care have suffered abuse or neglect which Ema shows true compassion towards. …. We are all immensely grateful for the time and commitment Ema gives and would 100% recommend her service to anyone and any animal which needs additional help/support.” Alana Bibby, Animal Welfare Team Leader, RSPCA-WHS My therapy offerings also now include Therapeutic Meditation, Pregnancy massage, Womb healing massage with Reiki, Facial Rejuvenation Holistic Massage, Holistic Acupressure and Student-level Shiatsu, and acupressure massage (I'm taking a 3-year CNHC-accredited diploma at the Manchester Shiatsu College). All of this learning/experience in different therapies, is something that informs my Reiki work (and my teaching) as well. (Check out my Media page to learn about the different fields I have professional involvement in, and to see some of the ways I integrate all these influences and experiences together across my work!) As a "multipotentialite", my interests, passions and vision are always far-reaching (I'm definitely an ideas person) - so watch this space for more updates on exciting new directions and threads to the tapestry of my work and life's purpose! If you're interested in reading some of my published articles, my article in The Shiatsu Society Journal (August 2022 edition) is also linked on my Media page, where you'll also be able to find my interview in online magazine "Mystic Mag". If Animal Reiki captures your attention, then you can hear more about that, on the fascinating video of a Panel discussion I took part in - also on the Media page (as well as on YouTube) ! Alongside other Animal Reiki practitioners with a background in Rescue Animals, we discussed some of the beautiful and challenging experiences we've had, whilst bringing Reiki to Rescue Centres, with Sue Malcolm, the UK Reiki Federation's (then) Animal Reiki Lead. I've also been quoted in this article in www.everydayhealth.com about the potential effectiveness of Acupressure, and in another in the same online magazine, which looks into what Acupressure is . And if (like me) you're intrigued by reading reviews, the main 3 places you can find my clients' feedback are: 1. Google; 2. Client Testimonials; 3. Trustpilot If you're curious to find out more, you can message me on the "Contact Us" pop-up below, or via email , text, phone or through one of my Social Media accounts. I've also created two e-books which are super accessible and packed with helpful, practical information about Reiki, what it does, what it's like, what we do (and don't) know about it, and what you can expect from a Reiki treatment. I'm so grateful for all the help and input I received for this project, from the Warrington Carers' Hub.

Unlock the power of meditation sessions at ReikiEma in Cheshire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester and Lancashire, UK. Discover the benefits and learn how to incorporate meditation into your personal wellness routine. About Meditation "the act of giving your attention to only one thing, either as a religious activity or as a way of becoming calm and relaxed..." (definition from www.dictionary.cambridge.org) The practice of Meditation has a long history as a religious and spiritual tool, for contemplation, connection and opening onesself up to the divine, across the world. The earliest records we have mentioning meditation, according to some sources, date back to around 1500 BCE, in Vedic texts from Hinduism. But according to an article in Psychology Today , Archeologists have discovered wall art in the Indus Valley, which depicts people sitting in, what appear to be meditation postures (sitting cross-legged on the ground, hands on knees, and eyes narrowed). In Europe, the earliest writings mentioning meditation as a practice, go back as far as around 20 BCE, in the Roman Empire, with a Hellenistic Jewish writer, called Philo of Alexandria. He wrote of "some form of "spiritual exercises" involving attention (prosoche) and concentration"" (Wikipedia ). The word we use today "Meditation" comes from a Latin word "meditatum " meaning "to concentrate" or "to ponder". So why has Meditation been used by so many different religions, and spiritual practitioners, throughout history? And why has it become so popular in recent times, outside of its devotional or spiritual context? The practice, by itself, can be an invaluable tool in healing and stress reduction. Whether you adhere to a particular faith or not is irrelevant—millions of people all over the world believe that meditation is the way to clear your mind of extraneous thoughts so you can listen to God. Robert Puff PhD Benefits of Meditation Meditation as a Spiritual and Wellbeing tool Meditation has been used by countless people, and its effects experienced and known of, for thousands of years. But it wasn't until 1967 that Western Science began to understand and accept the benefits of Meditation, when Dr Herbert Benson (a Professor at the Harvard Medical School) moderated a study on meditation. This study showed that people meditating used 17% less oxygen, lowered heart rates; and produced increased brain waves that could help with sleep Dr Benson went on to found the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine , at Massachusetts General Hospital, which furthers scientific research into Mind Body Medicine, provides training to Medical Professionals and Teachers, as well as providing therapeutic treatment for people. All I’ve done, is put a biological explanation on techniques that people have been utilizing for thousands of years. Dr Herbert Benson (interview in Time Magazine) In more recent years, the ongoing studies (around the world) have taught us more of what and how meditation works, which include: Rewiring the brain, to help people learn new thinking and behavioural patterns more easily; Decrease in levels of stress and anxiety (corresponding to a decrease in the size of the amygdala & therefore reduction in the sympathetic nervous system being activated (less "triggered" fight/flight/freeze/fawn response); Better communication between different parts of the brain; Improved concentration and attention , reduction in mind wandering; Reduction in Social Anxiety Disorder with MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction); Overcoming substance addiction and relapse; Increased "Neuroplasticity" - which can help lessen age-related brain degeneration; Finding a sense of peace and healing, for people with PTSD (N.B. - Meditation and mindfulness are not suitable in all cases, for people who have experienced, or are carrying trauma. It's important to find a qualified trauma-informed therapeutic Meditation practitioner, first, and to discuss your needs and situation with them first, to determine whether Meditation would be suitable for you. Developing skills and using techniques to help you ignore and reduce (with time) "busy mind"; Improved sleep quality; Decrease in "triggered" states such as anger, fear, panic; Improving awareness of energy (qi/ki/ch'i), inside and outside the body; Spiritual development; Energy Worker skill development. How to begin Meditating Who is Meditation For? There's no one set personality type when it comes to meditation. It's a tool which can be learned at any age, and practised in a way that suits your individual needs, challenges and goals. Don't be put off if it feels uncomfortable at first, or if it seems to make things worse. Unless you have past trauma or a history of psychological disturbances or illness (in which case it's important thatyou seek professional guidance before attempting meditation, and ongoing professional support during your meditation journey), it's absolutely safe, and doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong. When we bring our full awareness to what's going on in our mind, the "monkey chatter" of our brain and the thoughts it automatically produces, will usually get louder and more irritating. But the good news is that, with practice and a teacher (whether that's from a book, an app, a class, or in real life), in time you'll be less disturbed by the thoughts and activity, and learn to be more compassionate to, and tolerant of, your brain's activity. The less you get caught up with that inner chatter (by caught up I mean following along with the reasoning, buying into it, or trying to fight it), like a child who's misbehaving to get attention, by moving your attention to something else (like the body, or the breath), eventually they will learn that it doesn't give them the attention they seek. If schedules are busy and it's hard to find a time to sit, meditation is something we can incorporate into activities we do everyday. From walking mindfully, to eating mindfully, to doing a body scan and grounding exercise for 2 minutes at your desk at work, when you're feeling physical effects of stress. You don't have to be a calm or patient person to meditate. In fact the less calm and more impatient you are, the more you would probably benefit from meditation. You just need to find the right style and the right teacher for you. And then practice, being honest with yourself. Meditation with ReikiEma As a trained and certified therapeutic Meditation Teacher, as well as a professional Energy Worker, I have many tools at my disposal, to support and empower you on your meditation journey - whatever benefits you want, or whatever goals you have in mind, for your meditation practice. 121 Therapeutic Meditation Sessions You can book a 1-hour 121 session with me, to take place in the beautiful, very special & relaxing environment at Juniper Clinic. Alternatively, I can offer 121 Meditation at Sutton House, or via video call, if circumstances or your preference means that's the best option. We'll discuss what you're looking for from the session, and then you can lie back on a cosy treatment table, and relax, whilst I guide you through a specially tailored meditation to help you where you are now. If you choose to opt for additional healing, I can incorporate Reiki as part of your session, for even deeper holistic healing. Reiki has some of its roots in the Buddhist tradition, as does Mindfulness Meditation, and it works beautifully alongside meditation for an even deeper experience. But if you're not sure about a combined treatment, or if you'd prefer a session without Reiki, that's absolutely fine. If you wish to also include a tutorial on some meditation techniques you can use on your own, I can offer that too -and I have post-session support and resources which I can share with you, should you wish. Book a 121 Meditation Session Today Online recordings and live group sessions I have a number of recorded guided meditation videos available to watch, on my website and on my YouTube channel as well. And if audio meditations are more your thing, then I have good news! There are several of my audio recorded meditations available to download, at my online shop , and you can stream a range of them, on the Insight Timer App, where I'm a teacher . And if you're interested in live online group meditation broadcasts, you'll find I run some live sessions on Insight Timer as well, on a donations-only basis.

Experience the healing power of Shiatsu at ReikiEma in Merseyside, Cheshire, Greater Manchester and Lancashire, UK. Discover Shiatsu with a student practitioner. About Shiatsu "The Art of Touch" “Shiatsu is a touch based therapy that applies pressure to areas of the surface of the body through loose comfortable clothing for the purpose of promoting and maintaining wellbeing. A Shiatsu practitioner will initially consult with the client and plan the Shiatsu treatment. The client will then be positioned comfortably, with appropriate adjustments being made throughout the session. Clear and accurate aftercare advice will be given. Shiatsu is a Japanese word that literally means finger pressure and derives its theoretical and practical roots from the ancient traditions of Oriental medicine. Today it is an autonomous treatment method influenced by Chinese, Japanese and Western knowledge. In addition to being regularly used by thousands of people all over the world, a variety of charities, health foundations, NHS trusts and hospitals in the United Kingdom provide Shiatsu to support patients whilst receiving treatment for a range of health issues and to help them maintain their general wellbeing. Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council What is Shiatsu? Welcome to ReikiEma, where I provide a range of holistic therapies to help you achieve balance and vitality. While many people associate Shiatsu with massage chairs and gadgets, it is actually a powerful and little-understood therapy that can have a profound impact on your health and well-being. Allow me to introduce you to this transformative therapy, today. Book now Shiatsu's Background Discover the ancient healing art of Shiatsu at my Holistic Therapy practice. Originating in Japan and rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shiatsu is a holistic approach to healing that focuses on the interconnected relationship between the body, mind, and spirit. With my expertise, you can release tension, reduce stress, and achieve overall balance in your life. Originating in Japan, with its roots in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Anma (an ancient form of Chinese massage similar to Tui Na, which was taken to Japan in the 10th Century CE.) The system of Anma was later developed as a profession for people who were blind; with Anma schools for the blind being founded across Japan - sighted people were banned from practising Anma! Book now In the 20th Century, Shiatsu was created as a healing modality, in its own right - making use of techniques from Anma, and other Japanese healing therapies, as well as the Traditional Chinese Medicine system of meridians and acupressure points in the body. Since its creation, Shiatsu has been developed and evolved to reflect many different approaches and techniques by different teachers and practitioners, and ranges from taking a Western/Eastern hybrid approach, though Zen Shiatsu, which uses extensions of the Classical Meridians, developed by a prominent teacher/practitioner in the 20th Century: Shizuko Masunaga . There is also "Seiki" - developed by one of Masunaga's top students, Akinobu Kishi . Seiki relies on "being" rather than "doing", more in the realm of the energetic and less on "working" meridians (not Reiki, but with many areas of communality). What connects all of these diverse schools of, and approaches to Shiatsu, are the therapeutic relationship between receiver and practitioner, the element of healing through touch, and the energetic connection between giver and receiver, which takes place during treatments. Book now What happens in a Shiatsu session? Shiatsu is highly adaptable, and can be tailored to people in most states of health and medical conditions. A Shiatsu treatment can be carried out with the receiver seated at a desk, lying on a treatment table, or (more traditionally) on a comfortable futon mat, on the floor. Book now Before a first treatment, the practitioner will often ask their client a fairly detailed set of questions around lifestyle, medical history and about the client's general picture of health and wellbeing. These questions help the practitioner to build up a picture of their client’s energetic picture, and any factors which are likely to be impacting on their overall holistic health and wellbeing. Some practitioners will ask to see a client’s tongue, as the Traditional Chinese Medicine technique of "tongue diagnosis" can be incorporated into Shiatsu; whereas some practitioners use observation of the client’s movements, speech, behaviour (what they say & do as well as how they say & do it) and any other outward signs of energetic or constitutional patterns – sometimes using the 5-elements/phases model as a framework. There will normally be a pre-treatment conversation, which usually covers asking the client which lying positions they are comfortable with, whether there are any areas they would prefer not to be worked on (some people are sensitive about their feet, for example), any symptoms present on that day, as well as giving the Shiatsu receiver the chance to decide/say what they would like to get from that day's treatment. After the pre-conversation, the client will be invited to lie down on the Shiatsu futon or treatment table (wearing comfortable, loose clothing, and having removed shoes and any chunky jewellery/watches/glasses), and offered a pillow and/or blanket/bolsters for additional support/comfort. Book now The Shiatsu practitioner often begins a treatment with “Hara diagnosis” – palpating areas of their client’s abdominal area, each of which correspond to a Traditional Chinese Medicine organ (reflexologists do the same). Hara Diagnosis offers the practitioner the chance to connect with their receiver's energy, to observe the relative qualities of energy in the different Chinese organs, and how they respond to the practitioner's own energy. Shiatsu practitioners will often use the information they pick up during Hara diagnosis, to decide which meridians will likely be their focus for the treatment - this is particularly the case with Zen Shiatsu practitioners. In the treatment itself, the practitioner uses hands (palming), thumbs (thumbing) and sometimes even knees, fore-arms and elbows, to work along the meridian lines (or energy channels) of their client’s body. Sometimes they will incorporate movement into the treatment, and include supported rotations, and/or stretches. Shiatsu practitioners are trained in safely and confidently moving amd supporting their clients’ legs, arms, heads, feet etc, and so if the client is able to completely relax and make their body as loose and floppy as possible, this is best for the treatment. "Helping” by doing the movement yourself actually means that you won’t get the full benefit of the movement – although this isn’t easy to (not) do for everybody, especially if you're new to Shiatsu - and your practitioner should understand if you find yourself not able to fully relax into being moved, straight away. Book now Book now What to expect after Shiatsu After a treatment, clients may feel a little light-headed or “spacey”, and so they’re encouraged to sit and drink some water or tea, and come back fully, before leaving after a Shiatsu session. Their practitioner will offer advice on ways to support their wellbeing (such as activities which will help support the work they have begun in the session, food energetics) and if the receiver has any questions, they are free to ask them – although as with Reiki and other energy-work modalities, the experience of the receiver is most important. It’s advisable to stay well hydrated after a Shiatsu treatment, to take things easy if possible. There may be a few aches and pains after Shiatsu, because it can be uncomfortable to re-establish a flow of energy where there may have been stagnation or deficiency - think about how it feels when the blood starts flowing to a hand or foot again, after circulation has been cut off for a while! The body can also sometimes go into a detoxification state, and some people feel a little under the weather because of this – they might have mild cold symptoms, or a minor headache, for example. This should only last for a day or two at most, and will only be very mild. Book now What does Shiatsu do? Each treatment will feel very different, and will do different things. What you need, and how you'll receive the maximum benefit on the day, depends upon your energy at the time of treatment. And one crucial thing you need to know about energy is that it doesn't stay still! It's always moving, changing and transforming. This is true of the energy around us, as well as the energy within our bodies and the energy that makes us, well, us! Some of the general overall outcomes intended by the practitioner for each Shiatsu session are: to help bring the person’s Qi into better balance; to promote the smooth, healthy flow of Qi through the meridians; and to help alleviate any aches, pains physical discomfort and symptoms which may be present. A Shiatsu treatment can be a deeply relaxing experience, a vigorous enlivening experience, a profoundly moving spiritual experience, and anything in-between! Shiatsu can help people to feel connected into their own bodies – and can bring a sense of peace and stillness. Some people describe it as "like going to church", others say it’s "like connecting into the Universe", and some people find it helps them to have moments of clarity and self-awareness about how they relate to the people in their lives and the world around them. It's probably fair to say that Shiatsu is not your standard massage! Book now How does Shiatsu work? Shiatsu makes use of the same energetic pathways (or Meridians) which Acupuncturists and Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners use. Shiatsu is based on the foundations of Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, but many Shiatsu practitioners incorporate other elements into their treatments, as they evolve, learn and develop their practice. This is why it’s helpful to read reviews from other clients and also to talk to your practitioner before trying Shiatsu, to check whether their style and approach resonates for you. Energy work (as other forms of therapy) is always most successful when the client and practitioner’s energy resonate well with each other. Factors to consider are: how confident you feel in them and their skills, whether you feel they are compassionate (if that's what you prefer), whether their approach and way of expressing themselves feels right for you and whether you feel you just click. No matter how amazing a practitioner's skills and knowledge, you have to feel confident and safe with them, in order to reap the full benefits of the treatment.
