Spring is here at last which is such a relief after what seemed like the longest winter ever. The birds sound more cheerful and there are signs of new life everywhere, with daffodils, crocuses and snowdrops reflecting a new, more optimistic mood.

I have really missed holding space for all my clients and am so looking forward to being able to offer Reiki treatments again. I shall, of course, be putting various measures in place to ensure that you feel confident that Forest Reiki offers a safe environment and will communicate these to you before I open again.

I’ve been meaning to write this blog post for a few weeks now - ever since our everyday lives were turned upside down and we began to find the ‘new normal’. It’s strange as in theory, I’ve had more time than usual to get on with it but I felt somehow ‘stuck’. Not so much a case of ‘fight or flight’ but rather ‘freeze’, worrying about the impact of the ‘C word’, on both a financial and a personal level.

May is one of my favourite months. I love the fact that trees are green again, blossom is blooming, birds are singing and we can dare to dream about another summer like last year. April is always such a funny month - between two seasons and very unpredictable. May Day has its roots in ancient pagan festivals marking the beginning of summer - a good reason to celebrate I say!May is one of my favourite months.
