This case study clearly shows the benefit of combining an Energy Healing session with a Tarot Reading.

Background (Booking the Energy Healing and Tarot Reading)

A lady contacted me in response to a social media post she’d seen. She booked both an Energy Healing Session and a Tarot Reading. We arranged a two hour appointment, allowing an hour each for the Energy Healing and The Tarot Reading. She completed my completed my online health and wellness form. I always ask new clients to do this so that we don’t waste precious session time when we meet up. Her information indicated physical pain in various areas and several stressful factors too. She also replied to my question about whether there was anything specific she’s like to address with The Tarot. The answer was that she felt stuck in her life generally.

Preparation for the Tarot Reading

Earlier on the day we were due to meet I prepared some information relating to The Tarot. She will be able to use this information for the rest of her life to gain extra insight from any future readings she may have. I also laid out and examined the initial cards we would use in readiness for the Tarot Reading itself.

The Energy Healing Session

We met over video and did the Energy Healing session first. As always, I explained how I do these sessions and what she could expect. I also made it clear that I welcomed any comments from her as we progressed should she have anything she’d like to say. We did the session and at the end she told me that, in contrast to before, she felt calm, tightness in her body had disappeared, and pain in an arm and shoulder had gone.

The Tarot Reading

We then took a short break while she went and got a tea and I reorganised my table. I also brought another screen in to our video meeting so she could see the Tarot cards. We started the reading with me explaining the life information I had prepared for her beforehand, and then we moved on to talk about the cards I laid out earlier.

Doing the Energy Healing session first was so helpful, as it gave an extra depth to the initial information I had seen in the cards I set out before we met up.

Once we had got everything we wanted from those cards, I cleared them away so we could address another specific area of her life. In this instance, she chose all the cards we used – yes, that too is possible remotely! Once we were finished, she commented that there wasn’t a single thing that didn’t resonate. And she also said that what was particularly helpful was having what she had already been thinking about recently reflected back to her by me. She found that reassuring and empowering.

The Result of Combining Energy Healing with Tarot Reading

This case study highlights the benefits a client experienced by combining an Energy Healing Session with a Tarot Reading. She arrived for the session anxious, in pain, conflicted and unsure. Two hours later she left feeling calmer, more relaxed physically and with less pain. She also had a clarity about moving forward with a sense of excitement.

Bedwetting in school age children and even in teens is not uncommon.

While most children grow out of it, some benefit from help. When thinking about how to stop bedwetting, Energy Healing may not be an obvious choice. This case study illustrates why it can be a good idea.

Bedwetting, or nocturnal enuresis, can be very distressing. Commonly it affects the child’s confidence and willingness to go on school trips and sleepovers. That is why a mum recently contacted me about her daughter.

Her daughter is 10 years old. The mother told me that bedwetting was having a huge impact on her self-esteem. She wondered whether energy healing might help.

We agreed that I would do a Remote MINI Session. I made an audio recording as I did the 20 minute session, which I then emailed to the mum. The child was unaware of any of this – the recording was purely for the mother’s information only. This option was also chosen so as to not further burden the daughter.

The day after the Energy Healing session the following arrived in my inbox from the mum about the bedwetting:

“Wow, thanks so much – first dry night in a couple of months last night!
She had a sore throat when she went to school yesterday and you even picked up on that in your session, I am truly amazed.”

This study showes how Energy Healing helped a case of Bedwetting. But actually it is a great illustration of how Energy Healing has the capacity to address endless unique scenarios, and always as appropriate in each individual case.

If this resonates with you and you are drawn to work with me, simply send me a message.

How can you stop thoughts going round and round your head? How can you step easily from stress and anxiety to calm? How CAN you instantly calm your mind? Easily, as it happens.

There is a great trick to calm your mind that I’d love to share with you. And, the beauty of it is that you can do it anytime, anywhere, in absolutely any situation you find yourself in, so you can quickly escape from the endless whirring of your thoughts.

AND … as well as calming your mind, you will connect immediately with your peaceful centre.

It’s very simple and involves your sense of hearing.

How?

All you need to do is to listen. Focus 100% on what you can hear for a few seconds.

When you do this, your whole attention is diverted. All you are thinking about is what you are noticing through your sense of hearing.

This gives you a break from the thoughts that were dominating only a moment before and you will experience a calm mind.

It’s a rest for you and your mind. And you will feel your body melting into a calmer state and the stress falling away down your body.

So often it’s the little things in life, isn’t it!!

I hope this is helpful for you. Do let me know how you get on with it.

If this resonates with you and you are drawn to work with me, simply send me a message and we can get started.

As I got to the top of the hill on my walk, 20 mins after I had set off, it suddenly dawned on me that I had been so “in my head” the entire way up, mulling and churning all sorts of work stuff, that I had absolutely no recollection of how I got there. I hadn’t noticed one iota of my physical experience.

So I resolved to observe my breath for the remainder of the walk as I set off again down the hill through the woods and out into the evening light along the paths through the fields. I soon set up a regular rhythm, two paces on the in breath, two on the out breath, simply observing my breath and whatever else I noticed in or around me. I became aware of the shrill chirrup of some small bird over to my left, the smell of horse manure, the feel of the air around my body, the fallen branches that seemed to take on different forms – one a creature’s head – can you see it?! Information from my senses that I hadn’t registered at all on the way up.

When my mind started to wander, I’d gently bring it back to observing my breath again. Out now through the kissing gate into the evening sunshine to find the fields which had been full of golden wheat and were harvested a few weeks ago, were now covered in bales of straw, a beautiful sight in the soft light of early evening with the shadows starting to stretch out.

But more than all this external awareness, by focussing on my breath and cutting out the endless stream of chatter clattering around my head, I became aware of myself internally. The physical reverberations through my body each time my feet struck the ground, of my sense of self, my heart space. I became aware of a sense of peace and appreciation for the moment as I stepped through it, while negotiating my way (in shorts) along paths overgrown with brambles and nettles by the way!

I didn’t manage to hold my attention on my breath constantly for the remainder of the walk, (my head is VERY persistent) but each time I realised my mind had wandered I returned to it. It was such a relief to access that sense of space again. Even brief breaks and connection to peaceful moments are so beneficial and wonderful to experience.

You can cut the chat too. You can do it anytime, anywhere. Give yourself a break from your incessant mental whirring – a mini head holiday! Have a play. Give it a go – and please let me know what your experience is. I’d love to hear.

With love,

Amanda xx

There is something about the sun coming out, isn’t there. Suddenly everyone has a smile on their face and a spring in their step and we frequently hear people commenting on how much better they feel when the sun’s out. But have you ever wondered why this is? It’s all to do with Ultraviolet (UV) light – you know, the thing that we are encouraged to stay away from and block ourselves off from.

Well, here are a few facts about UV light that you may not be aware of.

First, a big one. UV light activates a skin hormone called solitrol. Solitrol plays an important part in your immune system and many of your body’s regulatory centres and, together with the pineal gland’s hormone melatonin, causes changes in mood and daily biological rhythms. Another interesting one is that the haemoglobin in your red blood cells needs UV light to bind to the oxygen required for all cellular functions. This is why lack of sunlight is a co-factor for almost any kind of illness. It also explains why lack of sunshine can disrupt normal cell growth.

It has been well understood for many years that ultraviolet light has powerful healing qualities. By 1933 over 165 diseases had been identified for which sunlight was recognised as being a beneficial treatment, for instance tuberculosis. The interesting thing here is that although there were complete cures of tuberculosis, for example, it was observed that patients who wore sunglasses were not cured – more on this later…

And that’s not all. Here are some other considerations. Ultraviolet light:

lowers blood pressure and resting heart rate
improves cardiac output when needed (which is not contradictory to lower resting heart
rate)
reduces cholesterol, if required
balances blood sugar
enhances energy, endurance and muscular strength
improves the body’s resistance to infections
controls a gene that is responsible for producing a powerful broad-spectrum antibiotic
throughout the body
enhances the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood
increases sex hormones
improves the skin’s resistance to infections
raises tolerance to stress and reduces depression

So you see, our amazing bodies were designed to absorb UV light for many good reasons. If we needed total sunscreen, nature would have ensured that we evolved with a natural sunblock to protect our skin and eyes.

Let’s stay on that subject of eyes for a moment. Normally, when the optic nerves in your eyes sense sunlight, this is a signal for your pituitary gland to produce hormones that act as boosters for your melanocytes, (they produce melanin, which is what causes your skin to tan) and your melanocytes start producing melanin in great quantities. But when you wear sunglasses, the optic nerves send completely the opposite messages which lead the pituitary gland to think that you are in the dark, which reduces the production of melanocyte stimulating hormones. The result is that your skin produces less melanin which means you will then be more susceptible to sun damage.

So, while I am absolutely NOT advocating that you take risks, a little time in the sun without sunscreen could do you the world of good, providing you don’t burn of course. And if you could manage without your beautiful fashion accessories on your face, that too would be beneficial and give your amazing body the chance to protect you as it is naturally set up to do.

With love,

Amanda xx

Grounding, or earthing, frequently comes up in my clients’ BodyTalk sessions. When it does, I always start by asking whether they ever walk around barefoot. The responses are more often than not “no”. There is quite often horror at the very idea, not only at going barefoot outside but even at the thought of padding around inside at home.

They are missing a trick.

What is this trick?

It’s a FREE healing tool that we ALL have access to, it’s easy and it’s something that we can all do for ourselves, which I am very much in favour of.

What is it? It’s walking barefoot on the ground. That simple.

We are electrical beings and we often produce excess positive charge which can hang around the body. The ground naturally oozes electrons, which are negative. When we walk barefoot on grass, mud, concrete or sand, this simple action of feet meeting ground neutralises that excess positive charge. And, of course, it’s even better if the ground is slightly damp. You are giving your body the opportunity to get into better balance electrically as the electrons are transferred into the body. Going barefoot therefore results in a shift of the electrical state of the body which in turn helps to restore our natural self-healing and self-regulating mechanisms. This is obviously beneficial.

You know how when you go on holiday you feel better, less stressed, with an improved general sense of wellbeing? We all presume that this is simply due to being away from the daily routine. This is clearly a factor, but possibly more important is that you are walking along the beach, splashing along the shoreline or swimming in the sea, without the usual protection of the non-conductive materials our footwear is so often made of. There are many thousands of people who have tried earthing and their feedback has shown they felt significantly better in many respects, for example less pain and stress, improved sleep and quicker recovery from trauma.

I recommend watching this good little clip with Stephen Sinatra, a cardiologist, talking about grounding. If you’d like more information, have a look at the Earthing Institute.

And as I mentioned at the start, these principles can be incorporated into your BodyTalk session, so if you are particularly squeamish about going barefoot, that’s always another option…

I urge you to give it a go. It could be life-changing for you.
———-
Grounding, or Earthing, comes up in every single session, multiple times. It’s REALLY important … and … it’s a simple, free way you can help yourself achieve an optimum state of being.

See what Cardiologist Dr. Stephen Sinatra says:

Amanda’s ‘Supermarket Grounding’ Technique

Here’s a lovely easy way to ground yourself – anytime, anywhere.

I call it my ‘Supermarket Grounding’ technique because I usually remember to do it while I am waiting to pay – in the midst of the busy-ness of shoppers and tills, I treat myself to a moment of “me time”, reconnecting to my core. It give me a few moments of centering and peace. Try it!!

How long is a piece of string?!!! There are so many potential reasons why someone might choose to have a Tarot Reading…

An Overview About Professional Tarot Readings

The common thread when someone chooses to use Tarot Cards, however, is that there is a question they want to gain clarity about. Often there is no other way to for the client to try and unravel it. So, this is where the skills of a professional Tarot Reader are useful.

The wonderful thing about Tarot Cards is that they address the question in a unique and appropriate way. And this applies to any reading, each and every time. Every reading is personal to the questioner.

It is very much “old hat” to think of Tarot Cards as predictors of tragedy!

How Do I Use Tarot For You?

Here are a few examples how I might use the cards for you:

• for self-development
• to help you understand a situation
• to highlight possible aspects that might be useful to consider around a future decision or project

There is great value to this approach. This is because interpreting Tarot in these ways empowers you to move forward with additional awareness. As a result you can then use this heightened awareness to navigate your life path more easily.

What Types Of Questions Can A Tarot Reading Address?

The possible questions that can be asked of a Tarot Deck are endless. However, in broad terms, they involve the normal stuff of life such as relationships, work, money, etc.

The bottom line is that a Tarot Card Reading often provides understanding and a clearer view about moving forward which people find useful.

If you have never had energy healing and are considering it, this is a question you will be asking yourself.

And …the quick answer is “yes”.

Let me explain why.

Why Use Energy Healing

The reason is that each and every session is unique and appropriate to what’s going on with you at that time. Your body (and I use this term loosely to include your physical body, your mind, your emotions, your energies, your spiritual being) is always trying to get into the best possible state that it can. However, sometimes we get a bit stuck, and that’s when the services of an energy healer can help. Using a combination of your own natural capacity to heal and the energy healing training of the practitioner, the previous focus of your concerns has the potential to transform.

How does it work?

Everything is energy, and everything affects everything else. Just imagine a freshly ironed sheet. Now, imagine grabbing a corner of it and pulling it – every single thread and stitch in that sheet will change it’s shape as a result. We all know that when we hear a loud unexpected sound we get a physical reaction in our tummy. You, with all your different aspects, are just the same. So, change one thing and it impacts your whole being.

From my perspective as the practitioner, I understand that everything is consciousness (or energy) and that purely my act of observing something or becoming aware of it in the session is enough for your body to shift on whatever level or levels it wants to. Quantum science explains this.

What is it used for?

People use Energy Healing for a huge variety of reasons. For instance, it could be:

• physical aches and pains in the body
• emotional reasons – for example grief
• mental pressures – worry, stress, anxiety, fears
• feeling disconnected from themselves
• a sense that ‘something’s not right’ that they can’t quite put a finger on
• the wish to progress on their spiritual journey
• as a support to other treatments (both mainstream and alternative)
• Most often it turns out to be a combination of several factors.

Who uses it?

Anybody can. However, in reality it seems to break down to three groups:

• Those who are already familiar with energy healing
• People who have tried many other modalities but have been unable to resolve their issues

Others who are self-aware and want to expand and work with their potential.

We are all beings of enormous potential and Energy Healing works with that on all levels.

Hello! I’m Amanda,

If you’re like me, you’ll want to get a ‘feel’ for someone before booking their services. I’m an energy healer and I thought I’d introduce myself, so you can do the same!

This holistic / alternative / energy medicine path, which I first stepped into in 2004, has brought me extraordinary joy. It has opened up a whole new world to me and expanded my understandings beyond anything I could possibly have previously imagined. And the absolute greatest joy is that I get to play with it all in something that others refer to as “work” – it never feels like work to me.

My Training

I have done a LOT of training to get to this point. My first step was to qualify as a Reflexologist while my children were small. I then did many BodyTalk courses the result of which is that I am a Certified BodyTalk Practitioner, an Advanced BodyTalk Practitioner and a PaRama BodyTalk Practitioner (which is basically the BodyTalk version of post grad). I am also a qualified Quantum-Touch Practitioner and an Advanced Certified Tarot Reader.

What I Now Understand

Having done all that, what I now know is that there are so many simple things that we can all do to help ourselves feel better, healthier and happier in our day to day lives. I am strongly drawn to share it all. Therefore, I decided to gather together all the simple tips and techniques that I personally use in my own life and I spent 2021 creating these two online courses:

How To Boost Your Energy & Vibration
How To Use Your Intuition

Both comprise short bite-sized videos and my intention is that they will easily fit into a busy life.

My Energy Healing Sessions

I always approach my client energy healing sessions from a point of potential. So, no matter the reason someone has booked in, whether it’s physical pain, anxiety or grief, to give a few examples, I know that ultimately what’s happening is that I am holding the space for them not only to heal but to connect more easily to their heart, to their inner knowing, to their core being. What a privilege this is.

Random Facts About Me

On a more general note, here are some random facts about me:

I lived in Florence, Italy for 2 years
I graduated as a mature student aged 32 from Birkbeck College, University of London, with a Humanities degree. All the teaching was in the evenings and I worked part-time / studied part-time over 4 years to achieve this. Archaeology became my main interest and at one point I was to be seen wielding a pickaxe in a dig on the Old Kent Road in London before the site was built on. I didn’t find anything!
I was a radio presenter (on Brooklands Radio) for a couple of years which I absolutely loved and hope to do more of
My favourite tea is nettle
Being in nature feeds my soul
The sound I love most is birdsong (I do my sessions with the window open to let it in!)
My favourite book is Stephen Mitchell’s beautiful translation of Lao Tzu’s ‘Tao Te Ching’
Much to my surprise, I have discovered I love to crochet. Mostly clothes so far, but I have done a crocheted version of an archaeological artefact, and I’m currently working on my first blanket

My Traits

To finish, here are five and a half words to describe myself:

Honest
Compassionate
Enthusiastic
Joyful
Heart-based.

There you go – my introduction! To me everything stems from and comes back to living from the heart.

If this resonates with you and you are drawn to work with me, simply send me a message and we can get started.

With love,

Amanda xx
