Reflexology

Reflexology is a method for activating the healing powers of the body. It is both old and new. We know that the early Chinese, Japanese, Indians, Russians and Egyptians worked on the feet to promote good health. Toady many of these techniques have been developed into a modern scientific method called Reflexology. What joins the ancients with the modern is the long-established principle that there are energy zones that run throughout the body and reflex areas in the feet that correspond to all the major organs, glands and body parts.

The benefits of reflexology include:

Reduced stress and inducing deep relaxation

Improving circulation

Cleansing the body of toxins and impurities

Balancing of the whole body/mind system

Revitalising energy

Preventative health care

Stimulating creativity and productivity

Astro Coaching

Using your personal astrology chart that Maria draws up for you, totally original to you, based on your time, date and place of birth, a great insight is produced into your inclinations and tendencies, your strengths and your weaknesses.

Astrology is not just about your 'sun sign', this is far too general, it is a much more complex, fascinating and enlightening subject than many people are aware of.

The chart is used as a tool to help you exploit and grow on your helpful qualities, whilst enabling you to learn more about, and aid conversion and transformation of your more unhelpful traits. Covering all aspects of life from your relationship area to your professional capabilities, we can uncover where your talents will be best used so that you can be the best you can be, to empower you and to help to change the patterns that we sometimes feel control us.

Reiki

Reiki is a method of natural healing based on the application of Universal Life Force Energy. Reiki treatments work by dissolving toxic energy and substances from many levels - whether they are physical, mental or emotional. One does not have to 'believe' to benefit from Reiki as it is not based on having faith in the healing.

Reiki helps to create a harmonious and balanced environment within your being. Healing can then take place in a subtle, gentle but powerful way. A course of 6 is usually recommended for long-term issues but each individual will also benefit from a one off treatment to help restore the energy balance in the body.

Reiki has been successful in the treatment of a vast range of discomforts and dis-eases ranging from depression to arthritis.

Astrological Natal Chart Interpretation

This chart that is drawn up for you is a blueprint of yourself, totally original to you, based on your time, date and place of birth. It serves as guidance and as an insight into your inclinations and tendencies, your strengths and your weaknesses.

It can also be used as a tool to help you exploit and grow on your helpful qualities, whilst enabling you to learn more about and aid conversion and transformation of your more unhelpful traits. So, how does it work? in the birthchart you’ll find:

The Planets
Imagine these as certain facets of your personality, your creativity, your feelings, your communication abilities and so on…. we all contain the same facets but we express them in very different and unique ways.

The Signs
Each planet is linked to a particular sign which it was ‘in’ at your birth. These twelve signs tune the planet and the ‘facets’ into a general way of being expressed.

The Houses
The planets all fall into certain ‘houses’ at the time of your birth and there are also twelve of these. Houses are areas in your life and certain situations that the energies of the planets will express themselves most readily and frequently in.

Aspects
These are the relationships the planets make to each other. They can add spice, antagonisation, conflict or ease depending on what the aspects are. Certain aspects could really magnify one of the involved planet’s energy and impact whilst others can dampen them down and even obscure them. Some can add conflict, resulting in possible difficulties and others can add ease and helpfulness.

To break this down, one example could be ‘moon trine venus’ meaning our ability to love and be harmonious is at ease with and enhances the way we feel and react”. The signs and houses the planets are in then add even more depth to this statement.

If ‘harder’ aspects are present, the ‘softer’ ones can often help to bring about more ease. Some charts are ‘harder than others but then you could say these charts offer the greater opportunities for personal growth and transformation which are certainly true accomplishments in life.

But remember...

Nothing in us is set in stone, free will and intention are things that are accessible to us ALL. The stars INCLINE, they do not IMPEL. We all have the power to either use or abuse, to take control or to blame, to listen or to ignore. As your chart is unique, so too is your spirit, and it is your spirit that you can learn to understand more about through working with your chart.

When I have compiled your chart for you, you will also have the opportunity to have a personal interpretation session with myself whereby I can ensure you get the most out of your chart possible for your own understanding.
