FHT Local Support Group Co-ordinators Meeting, CAMexpo and Training Workshops

Weekend before last (5th and 6th October) I was funded by The Federation of Holistic Therapists for a trip down to London for a meeting with other Local Support Group co-ordinators from around the UK. What a lovely bunch my fellow co-ordinators are, was lovely to meet them.

Plus what a great opportunity to hear from our professional organisation on their plans for the future, and to feedback to them what we would like to see happening in the FHT and in our growing network of Local Support Groups. As of last week we now have 108 groups which really makes us the largest network of its kind in the UK and probably Europe as well!

Here I am (front left) at dinner with other Local Support Group Co-ordinators.

More info about our local group - which is open to anyone interested in holistic health and wellbeing - at FHT Lancaster LSG. We got treated to travel, a healthy lunch, a lovely dinner (biggest helping of tiramisu I have ever seen!), and accommodation, and our meeting was timed to coincide with...

CAMexpo 2013

The UK’s only dedicated event for complementary, natural and integrated healthcare. 

I made the most of the opportunity to attend on the Sunday and booked myself on 4 workshops:

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction – Assessment and treatment for the massage therapist
Trigger point therapy for low back pain 
Being a massage therapist – It’s a lifestyle – not a job!
Introduction to Aromatherapy for Pregnancy

New Testimonial for Swedish Massage

"If I was my cat I'd be purring right now. Feels like you've stretched me right out and put everything back where it should be. You seem to know my body, just what I need, you're perfect for me. You seem to really get in there, not too light, firm but never painful. Wish I'd found you years ago. "

New Testimonial :)

"I started having treatments with Ceri at Holistyx because of a recurring back problem. Since that time my body has thrown up many and varied challenges which Ceri has always met with empathy, interest and skill. She always reviews my health every session and tailors my treatment to suit. In addition to managing my back better I would usually have up to 4 chest infections a year but have only had one in the last 12 months. My work is often very stressful and Ceri addresses this in my treatments too. I look forward to my treatments with Ceri and consider them to be a really good investment in maintaining my physical and mental wellbeing."

NEW! Indian Head Massage Back Special.

I am really excited about this new session, developed with a client who asked me to combine Swedish Back Massage with Indian Head Massage. I really love it! So does one of my regular clients who tried it and now has switched to this as her regular session. It costs £37 and takes an hour and a half to get your whole upper body really well worked and deeply relaxed. First you lie down on your front on the couch for deep work on whole back using both Swedish and Indian techniques, really working on any knots and areas of tension. Then you turn over (covered with a towel) for Swedish work on the upper chest/neck/shoulders, and Ayur Vedic pressure points on face and scalp. Then (with a velcroed towel wrap) you get up and sit on a chair for full head massage and hair stroking, followed by more work - Indian style - to any remaining tension or knots in the neck and shoulders and then going down the arms. Finishing with the chakras and energy field being balanced and grounded. Come and try it out - phone me on 07888 692803 and book today!
