We all have those “go to” things that we know will usually pick up our energy and make us feel good.
I usually find that if I get my body moving and get my heart rate up to sweat it out it picks up my mood and I’m left feeling energised with a clear mind and feeling great.
Sadly in the first trimester of my pregnancy this wasn’t the case as I was so fatigued that it was a challenge to walk up a set of stairs and sleeping 10 hours a night wasn’t enough.
This also translated towards my mental energy as I started feeling flat, depressed and was lacking motivation at work (as a business owner having moved to a new premises not long ago and being focused on growing my business over most of the year, my lack of focus and motivation was really concerning me!)
It was at this point that I decided I would spend some time investing in more nurturing therapies and amongst them was an energetic healing session with Zoe
Before my first treatment I was so tired I felt like if I leant my head against my desk or a wall and I could of fallen straight asleep. I had also developed a dull headache which was with me for days and I was so emotional that I was ready to cry at a drop of a hat.
Now I know that a lot of people are probably thinking as they read this that all those things that I just described are a normal part of the early stages of pregnancy, and I’m not saying they aren’t commonly experienced by women far and wide but there are things we can do to help and this treatment was of great benefit to me during this time of transition.
We started our first session by having a short chat about how I was feeling and what I would like my intention to be for the session that day. Zoe has such a friendly and warm demeanor that made me feel very comfortable in sharing how I was feeling. I decided that for this session my intention would be that I wanted to “feel more like myself”.
I then kicked off my shoes and while fully dressed lay down on a comfortable massage table which was set up with cushions and towels and Zoe dimmed the lights before encouraging me to then close my eyes and take some deep breaths to get comfortable.
Zoe then began using different techniques (some hands on and hands off) to assess my energy field and detect where the blockages were.
I had a slight awareness of her moving around the table and honing into my left hip, abdomen, crown of my head etc. but I have to say I was more focused on the sensations I was feeling within my own body.
One example of this was the feeling of water flowing down my legs into my feet.
Another profound shift was around my pelvis where I actually started subtly shaking then experienced a jolt through my body.
This was especially interesting to me as Zoe explained that it felt to her that I was having some trouble letting my body change to accommodate the growing baby and that I needed to trust that my body would know what to do during this pregnancy and to let it go. After each of these shifts I felt my body relax further and my breathing get deeper and deeper.
Zoe shared a number of insights with me through out the session about what she was feeling and even connected with my spirit guides who had some uplifting messages for me and for my unborn baby.
The session went for 60 minutes and from when we finished I could feel I felt lighter and my headache was gone. Zoe suggested that I take some of the Heart2Shine (link to http://heart2shine.com) “Space” flower essences to continue working on supporting my energy, and to help develop our intention (to feel more like myself) for that session.
It was amazing how over the next week my schedule, which seemed so hectic before seemed to clear and I had more time to organise myself and evaluate where I was at and what I needed to do to feel back on track.
I agreed to have 3 follow up sessions with her as I felt so good after the treatment and these energetic healing sessions will definitely be something I will use in the future as a “tune up” or used in conjunction with other therapies when I’m unwell.
I really feel like Zoe’s treatments helped me greatly during a time of transition in my life.
