What if you just packed up your life and moved to a Scottish island?
In my blog last time, I shared the story of personal transformation of one of my clients after she made the decision to put her own needs and self-care first.
This week, I wanted to share another client story with an even more incredible outcome…
From stressed and unhappy… to Scotland!
Client 2 came to me for Reiki and Indian Head Massage back in October 2023 after coming out of an unhealthy and controlling relationship.
She said she felt very ‘stressed’ and on edge so thought this might help her to relax. She had de-stress wellbeing package fortnightly sessions to begin with and then went down to monthly after Christmas.
She preferred to chat during the head massage part and then meditate during the reiki. We would chat about her love of crystals, how unhappy she was in her current job, the journey she had been on personally since leaving the damaging relationship and how she felt she had a calling to do something else with her life, but didn’t know how to make the change.
I simply listened to her, held space for her to be honest with herself and process her thoughts while offering the odd explanation as to why she might be feeling the way she was and encouraging her to be patient and compassionate to herself while she processed the hurt she had endured.
The Reiki sessions were often intense with both of us feeling a lot of emotion and energy shifts, and even some incredible light shows (if you’ve ever experienced bright colours in front of your eyes or seemingly within your body during a Reiki treatment you will understand what I mean).
In early June, I saw on Facebook that this lady had resigned from her job and moved alone to live on the beautiful Isle of Mull. My heart leapt with joy to read this, even though she hadn’t cancelled her next booked appointment with me, and I knew I would probably never see her back in my treatment room again.
I knew she had finally made the move she needed, and her life will forever be transformed, happier and healthier as she is finally following her gut and her heart and living her life on her own terms.
I couldn’t be more thrilled for her! I cannot, and do not, take any direct credit for this. It is all down to her, but I hope that offering her a non-judgemental, safe and supportive space to explore her deepest thoughts, hopes and wishes helped speed up her inner transformation.
I know for sure, that Reiki helped prepare her mind, soul and body for what they needed to do but were not quite ready to do yet. Reiki has a funny way of doing that even if you don’t consciously know what it is you want or need!
Lots of things can hold us back from putting our own wellbeing first; fear, guilt, a belief that we are too busy, but to do so is to possibly delay our own opportunity to be happier, healthier and live life on our own terms.
It may just seem like a nice facial, a rejuvenating head massage or a relaxing reiki session but it could turn into so much more.

Next time, I’ll share the story of one client who has been on her own personal journey while working with me, but who has also changed my own path too!
