Welcome to Angelic Complementary Therapies March 2025 Newsletter

It’s March! Yay, Spring is on the way, meaning Fred (the tortoise) will be waking up from hibernation soon!! Ok, I love all the seasons we are lucky to experience here in the UK, but I do feel that extra buzz of joy when Spring begins - nature wakes up from its quiet - the healing time of winter - the flowers begin to decorate our gardens and hedgerows.

How was your February? Mine was crazy busy (as I knew it would be).

Two huge achievements for me last month were running a workshop with Helen Gee (My Pilates Tribe) and finally deciding to train and subsequently qualify to teach Angelic Reiki. I did it. I also stepped out of my comfort zone and held space to give a workshop on ‘All about Angels’. It was a really beautiful morning, and everyone who attended got something from it. As uncomfortable as it was stepping into the unknown, the group of ladies that attended were fabulous – as I knew they would be. Clients, friends and new faces gave their support and I will never forget the morning and will treasure it always. I learned much from the workshop and fully intend to do more. My spirit guide and guardian angel won’t let me off now, not that I’ve now started. So watch this space for new, exciting, and interesting workshops to be held.

I must share this: I’ve just taken my mum’s watch to a watch repairer who has been recommended to me. This watch stopped working when Mum left this earthly realm. My dad gave it to her on her 21st birthday (1950). It’s now three years since Mum passed, and in that time, I’ve taken the watch to many jewellers to be repaired. Sometimes, the watch was sent away for a diagnosis, but each and every one said the watch was too old and the parts were no longer available. Now, anyone who knows me knows I don’t leave any stone unturned, not when my intuition was screaming I was being fobbed off.

By chance, I took a necklace of my mum’s to a family-run jeweller in Camberley and asked if they knew of anyone who repairs watches. Yes, they did! They gave me his number, and I contacted him. I didn’t say anything about the trials and tribulations I’ve experienced; I trusted all would be well. I knew all would be well. I made an appointment to take my mum’s watch and a watch my dad gave me on my 18th but stopped working a few years back to the repair man.

As he examined the watches, I was reminded of the toy repairer from the film Toy Story. He remarked on their beauty and assured me he could fix them! He mentioned that the balance mechanism in Mum’s watch was no longer functioning. When I enquired what he meant, he described it as “the heart of the watch." Mum’s watch ceased working when she passed away; her heart stopped, and so did her watch. At that moment, I shared the experiences I had encountered trying to get the watch repaired, and he simply smiled, telling me to leave the watches with him. The reason I’m recounting this is that while driving home, I followed a car with the license plate “XXX MUM”. I'm a firm believer in signs; you just have to be open to noticing them, and that was undoubtedly a sign from my mum. Thank you, Mum. I know you appreciate my (sometimes) stubborn persistence. This has filled my heart with joy.

Angelic Reiki Master/Teacher

I’m excited to share that I am now a fully qualified Angelic Reiki Master/Teacher!

Although I have been an Angelic Reiki Master for a number of years now – trained nearly 10 years ago now – I have finally taken the last step so I can then teach and share this wonderful healing modality with others.

I look forward to sharing this incredible training soon.

Celebrate the first day of Spring, Thursday 20th March

The Spring Equinox & Ostara: A Time of Balance and Renewal

As winter fades away, the spring equinox marks the moment when day and night are nearly equal in length. In the northern hemisphere, this happens around March 19-21, welcoming the official start of spring! Days grow longer, flowers begin to bloom, and nature wakes up from its winter sleep.

Many cultures and traditions have celebrated this special time for centuries. One of these celebrations is Ostara, a festival in modern Pagan and Wiccan traditions. Ostara is named after Eostre, an ancient goddess of dawn and fertility (where the word "Easter" may come from!). It’s a time to honour new life, fresh starts, and the balance between light and dark.

Ways to Celebrate the Spring Equinox & Ostara

· Spend time in nature – Take a walk, plant flowers, or simply enjoy the fresh air.

· Decorate eggs – Eggs symbolise fertility and new beginnings, much like they do in Easter traditions.

· Light a candle – A simple way to honour the growing sunlight and warmth.Set intentions – Think about what you want to grow in your life, just like seeds sprouting in spring!

Whether you celebrate the equinox scientifically, spiritually, or simply as a sign that warmer days are ahead, it's a wonderful time to welcome change, embrace renewal, and enjoy the beauty of the season!

Special Offer

To celebrate the Spring Equinox, I'm offering £10 off and a complimentary crystal to each client who books an Angelic Reiki session with me between March 20th and April 18th (which includes the first day of Spring and Good Friday). Just mention “Spring Equinox” when you book to claim your gift.

Mindfulness

Embrace your inner child

I always enjoy spending time with my son and his girlfriend, and last week, we had great fun making the above! The simple activity of making things from clay. It reminded me that it is important to spend time embracing your inner child – it’s fun and brings warmth to the soul. You don’t need to make things from clay, but here’s a mindful practice that may be of interest.

1. Find a comfortable, quiet space where you won’t be disturbed. Gather items that remind you of childhood joy—maybe a stuffed animal, crayons, a favourite childhood snack, or a nostalgic song.

2. Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Take a few deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and exhaling slowly through your mouth. Imagine yourself as a child—where are you? What are you wearing? What made you happiest at that age?

3. Pick an activity that your younger self would love:

Draw or colour without worrying about perfection.
Dance freely to a fun song.
Blow bubbles and watch them float away.
Build a fort with blankets and pillows.
Watch a childhood film—be fully present, with no distractions.
Talk to your inner child—imagine they’re sitting with you. What do they need to hear?

4. As you engage in your activity, notice how it feels in your body. Do you feel lighter? More curious? Let yourself fully experience the moment without judgment.

5. Place a hand over your heart and silently thank your inner child for showing up. Promise to make space for their joy more often. Take a deep breath and return to the present, carrying that playful energy with you.

Angel Card

Healing Energy

The Angel Guide Oracle Deck, Kyle Gray

Angels are enveloping you in healing energy at this time. They are swirling around you, filling your body, mind and soul with a soothing and peaceful light. They are guiding you to receive this healing energy and allow your body time to return to its natural state of goodness. Healing is actually an energy that goes beyond the body-it's the return to a natural and good state. Healing angels are placing their hands upon you and any situations that may be concerning you at this time. Know that the miracles you are seeking are unfolding before your eyes.

I wonder what this March has in store for each of us. Whatever it brings, may it be fun and peaceful. Maybe think of ways you can have quality time with the people in your life or quality time with yourself. Be present and, as I always say, be kind to all, but mostly yourself. I look forward to seeing you soon, with love and light.
