Healing work

Group programs

These times call for special measures for us all to take care of ourselves, and so I will be running regular groups of the Good Grief Network program, 10 Steps to Personal Resilience & Empowerment in a Chaotic Climate.

Reiki
1 hour, 1 1/2 hour and 30 minute sample sessions available, plus distance healings

Reiki is a flow of universal life force energy, channelled through me to you, to enable you to gently and deeply heal, and to move forward in your life.

Reiki helps to balance and restore harmony on physical, emotional, mental, soulful and spiritual levels, working with the body and its energetic field. It may help to heal physical issues; or help with pain relief; it may help you to move through emotions; clear blockages; cleanse toxins; relieve fear, stress, worries and anxiety; and it may bring clarity, calm, relaxation and a sense of purpose. It is also helpful for personal development; and for emotional and spiritual growth. In my experience, Reiki helps to bring profound change on many levels.

When I give a healing, I set my intention for the Reiki to flow for your highest and greatest good, and for your deep healing. I use my senses, feeling and intuition to work with Reiki and your energy. Reiki flows naturally to areas where healing is needed. It will clear anything stopping healing from taking place on any level and activate your natural ability to self heal.

We can discuss any particular issues you might like to focus on, or just allow the Reiki to do its work. Reiki will flow to help you, even if you are unsure exactly what it is you most need in the moment, to help you on your way.

I completed my Reiki Level I with Roseleen McNally of Thirsty Soul in Dublin in 2013 and my Reiki Level II (Practitioner Level) with Leonie Cole of The Spirit Tree in Bristol in 2014. I practised in a number of different countries during my travels throughout Europe in 2013 and 2014, including at the Moinhos Velhos retreat in Lagos, Portugal. 

On returning to Australia I continued both my practice and my study and undertook a Reiki Level III mentorship with Jenny Cameron of Bringelli Natural Therapies in 2019. Level III is the Master and Teacher level of Reiki and I have enjoyed taking to my practice to a new level since completing this year of Reiki study. Contact me if you are also interested in information about upcoming Reiki courses.

What to expect during a session

You will lie comfortably on your back, fully clothed (except shoes), with your eyes closed if you are comfortable that way, for greater relaxation and depth of healing. I will work with my hands above you, and if you give permission, with my hands on some parts of your body, including your head, shoulders, hips, knees and feet and possibly your arms, hands and various positions on your abdomen if you are comfortable with that. I may also ask you to lie on your front for some part of the session and I may place my hands on your back. You may also choose to sit in a chair if you prefer.

During a session you might feel different sensations in your body; you might feel warmth, coolness, tingling, movement, heaviness, lightness, release, or other sensations or feelings, or you may not feel anything at all. You will most likely feel a sense of very deep relaxation. After the session you may feel energised, or you may feel calm, peaceful and relaxed. I receive much positive feedback from people to whom I give Reiki treatments, which encourages me to want to offer more treatments, as a way that I can contribute to the world.

Reiki distance healings

Reiki can be sent by distance, so it is possible to have a session even if you aren't able to come for an appointment. I can send Reiki for you to receive at any time, even while you sleep, or you might like to set a time where you are available to lie down, relax and receive. Either way we can also follow up if you like with a half hour chat on the phone, or Skype, email, messenger chat or another online option. Please contact me regarding options that work for you.

Touch For Health (Kinesiology)
1 hour or 1 1/2 hour sessions available

Touch For Health is a powerful preventative system of health care that works holistically, incorporating mental/emotional (psychological), biochemical (physiological) and structural (physical) elements. It is a system of balancing posture, attitude and life energy for greater comfort, vitality and enjoyment of your life. Touch For Health falls under the branch of alternative and complementary therapy known as Kinesiology - systems of healing that use manual muscle bio-feedback to determine which stimuli stress the body and how that stress can be decreased. The Touch For Health model does not treat or diagnose symptoms, but works with the energy, lifestyle and aspirations of the client, offering a safe and effective way to maintain health, enhance wellbeing and upgrade performance.

Feedback is gained from the body via muscle testing and various methods are then used to balance the body and energy on all levels. Balancing the energy of the body encourages and supports the intrinsic healing process, allowing the body to heal itself more effectively and more rapidly.

What to expect during a session

Touch For Health balances are conducted fully clothed (except shoes), and you may either lie on a table, or sit in a chair and perhaps stand for some part of the session, as required.

I will do a number of pretests to ensure your body and energy are ready to proceed. We will then work together to set a goal or a number of goals to work with. I will then use an indicator muscle to receive feedback about what your body needs to work with your goal/s. You are a partner in the process and we will work together during the balance to ascertain what your body needs.

From there I may also test a number of other muscles and I will follow the procedures indicated, using balancing techniques that may involve spinal reflexes, neurolymphatic or neurovascular points, meridians, other muscle testing processes or other movements.

Oracle Card Reading
Guided or do it yourself options available

For many years now I have used oracle cards personally when I have been looking for guidance in relation to a situation or experience, feelings or a decision. I find that often the cards can provide messages that are helpful in the given moment and that on reflection after time has passed, the insight they have provided has proven to be of great benefit.

Over the years I have collected quite a number of sets of cards with a range of perspectives, that each have a different kind of focus, and I am pleased to be able to offer to share these cards with you.

I am able to guide you in doing a reading, or you may use these cards and the accompanying guide books to do a reading for yourself.

I am happy to make the cards available for you if you have an appointment with me, and I am also happy to make appointments simply to share the wisdom of the cards with you. As this is very much a shared process, this service is by donation as you feel.

Intuitive Reading
In conjunction with above

During a healing session, most commonly during a Reiki healing, I may have things come to mind through intuition. My philosophy is that if I feel that the information I have gained based on what I have sensed may be helpful for your healing and growth, then I will give you the choice if you would like to hear it. It is then up to you to decide if if resonates and if you feel it would be of benefit for you to consider.

This is not a standard part of a Reiki healing, or a Touch For Health balance, but something I have found that I have to share that has proven to be helpful to clients, so it is something I continue to offer as an option in addition to my other work.

Counselling
Currently studying

I am currently studying a Diploma of Counselling through the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors. While I am not currently qualified to offer Counselling sessions, I felt it worth mentioning as through my studies I am learning new skills and gaining new knowledge that only ever improves and adds to my work within my other services. I will later on be able to offer stand alone Counselling sessions as another service I can offer to support people in their ongoing journeys.

My own Journey of Healing

I thought I'll add a little about my own Journey of Healing here for those interested in doing Healing Work with me to know a little of where I am coming from.

Ever since I was young, I have had a strong desire to help other people. I have also long cared deeply about nature, our Earth, and all its living beings. After school I began to search for truth, perhaps strangely, by studying maths and physics, then history and philosophy of science, Western and Eastern philosophy. I then studied teaching, as I was looking for a meaningful way to contribute through my work. I taught primary and secondary students, and meanwhile my environmental knowledge grew as teaching took me in that direction. My focus then shifted to the social and personal side of teaching, as my environmental knowledge continued to expand, and my way of life came evermore into alignment with my values.

My personal journey of healing then started coming more clearly into focus from around 2009, with a series of life changing events and experiences that expanded the way I perceived and understood things on many levels. Following this, in 2013 and 2014 I went on a journey through Europe, staying and working in many places, connecting with others, and learning as I went about different and deeper ways of knowing and living, ancient ways and new ways.

As this journey began I had an experience that finally helped me to truly believe that I could be a healer, as I had long dreamed of being, without really accepting this. Then during my travels I also had the opportunity to learn Reiki and I gained my Level I Reiki in Dublin, Ireland, and my Level II in Bristol, UK. I began practising as I travelled and spent some time working at a health retreat in Portugal as my first professional experience.

After returning home to Australia I continued to learn through experience and practice, and I also studied Touch For Health, a foundational kinesiology module, in 2015-2016.

After some time away from professional practice to focus on family and motherhood, I relaunched my healing practice in 2018. I am also now currently studying in 2019 my Reiki Level III - Master and Teacher level, and a Diploma of Counselling. So the learning continues!

Since the beginning, I have received much positive feedback from clients, which encourages me to continue to offer my healing work as a way that I can contribute to the world. I also love to share all that I have learned about ways of living that are in harmony with all the living systems of our planet, and also ways to live with joy and creativity, with awareness, mindfulness, consciousness and intention, with connection, with spirit, and with soul in abundance. And lots of magic!

I named this site and my practice Living Lightly With Love, as I felt this encapsulated the many aspects I try to continually develop in my own life, as well as what I feel I have to share with others – living with a sense of lightness, and also with a light footprint, and living with love for self and others. I hope to have the opportunity to share with you!

With love, Elizabeth ☺
