Welcome to Angelic Complementary Therapies May 2026 Newsletter

It’s May, and doesn’t it feel good to feel some warmth and see beautiful sunshine again? With nature bursting back into life, personally, I love it. How was your April?

There’s something about May that always feels quietly hopeful to me. The evenings stretch a little longer, the trees begin to look impossibly green, and everywhere seems to soften into bloom almost overnight. After the quietness of winter and the stop-start rhythm of early spring, May feels like a gentle exhale.

I don’t know about you, but I feel I need to lean into this energy— slowing down where I can, getting outside more, opening the windows first thing in the morning, and noticing how much better everything feels with a bit of fresh air and sunlight. It’s reminded me that well-being doesn’t always have to come from doing more. Sometimes it’s found in simpler things: a walk without headphones, a cup of tea in the garden, eating foods that feel fresh and nourishing, or giving yourself permission to rest without guilt – yes, it is possible!

After two very busy months for me, this month, I’m focusing less on pressure and more on balance. More listening to my body, more softness in my routines, and more appreciation for the little things that make everyday life feel calm and connected.

Wherever this month finds you, I hope you find moments to pause, breathe deeply, and enjoy the beauty that’s beginning to appear all around us.

May 3^rd marks the anniversary of my Dad’s passing. I miss him every day, and not a day goes by without my thinking of him. Even though he’s not physically in this world anymore, I love it when he reminds me he’s never far away. Sometimes he’s with me for most of the day, and it’s wonderful. He’s also one of my biggest cheerleaders, encouraging me, supporting me, and bringing me strength and love when needed.

On a totally different note, on the 26th of April, our gorgeous little fur babies, Basil and Sprout, celebrated their 1st birthday! They are unbelievably cute and bring so much joy and laughter into our lives. As I write this, I have the patio doors open, and a fly has just come in — little Sprout is skidding all over the place trying to catch it. It’s like watching a real-life Tom and Jerry cartoon!

I often wonder what Jeffie would think of them. I have a feeling he’d try to calm them down, only to realise that would be completely impossible, before taking himself off somewhere quiet for a nap.

Pets truly are a wonderful addition to any family. The unconditional love, happiness, and companionship they bring are so special, along with the constant reminder to live in the present — because that’s really all we can be certain of.

Here are some of my favourite photos of my little furries

New Combination Treatment – 30/30 Angelic Reiki with Targeted Reflexology

I am super excited to share a brand-new combination treatment: Angelic Reiki and Targeted Reflexology.

For years, I have asked the angels why it wasn’t possible to blend Angelic Reiki with reflexology, and I was always guided that it simply wasn’t the right time. Anyone who knows me knows that I follow the guidance of my angels and spirit guides wholeheartedly.

Then, the other day, something truly magical happened. What I believed would be an Usui Reiki treatment alongside reflexology unexpectedly became an Angelic Reiki treatment with reflexology instead. Yes — finally, the timing was right.

Personally, I am discovering new and higher aspects of the healing I offer, which is both fascinating and incredibly exciting.

So, what is this new combination treatment?

Many of you will already be familiar with my current 30/30 treatment — 30 minutes of targeted reflexology followed by 30 minutes of energy healing using Usui Reiki and crystals. I am now delighted to also offer Targeted Reflexology combined with Angelic Reiki.

I will continue to offer both combinations:

• Targeted Reflexology with Usui Reiki

• Targeted Reflexology with Angelic Reiki

  
  

Both treatments provide the benefits of physical healing through reflexology, alongside energetic healing. The main difference is that Usui Reiki works with Universal Energy, whereas Angelic Reiki works with a higher angelic energetic frequency.

Alongside these combination treatments, I will continue to offer:

• All Reflexology treatments

• 1 hour stand-alone Usui Reiki treatments

• 1 hour stand-alone Angelic Reiki treatments

  
  

The combination treatments are designed as a more targeted approach, allowing you to experience the benefits of both therapies together in a cost-effective way.

If you would like more details, please feel free to contact me. I’m truly excited to now be offering this beautiful new treatment.

Mindfulness

A mindful meditation for the month of May

Sit comfortably and let your body settle.

Notice your breath as it is right now—no need to change it.

With each inhale, feel yourself arriving in this moment. With each exhale, let go of any tension you’re holding.

Bring to mind the feeling of May: growing light, steady change, gentle renewal.

You don’t need to rush anything. Things can unfold in their own time.

Stay with the breath for a few cycles.

Inhale: I am here.Exhale: I am at ease.

When you’re ready, return your attention to the room, carrying a sense of calm with you.

Crystal of the month – Labradorite

This month I would like to introduce one of my favourite crystals – Labradorite. This is a stone of magic and protection. It is renowned for relieving anxiety and stress, balances hormones, relieves menstrual tension and regulates the metabolism. This gemstone protects and strengthens the aura.

Some commonly benefits of labradorite include:

• Protection from negative energy – Many people use labradorite as an energetic shield, helping to protect against emotional drain or unwanted energies.

• Enhancing intuition and psychic awareness – It’s often linked with the third eye chakra and is thought to support intuition, insight, and spiritual development.

• Supporting transformation and personal growth – Labradorite is associated with change, helping people navigate transitions with strength and confidence.

• Calming an overactive mind – Some find its energy grounding and balancing, especially during times of stress, anxiety, or overwhelm.

• Boosting creativity and inspiration – It’s believed to stimulate imagination and new ideas, making it popular with creatives and healers alike.

• Encouraging self-discovery – Many crystal practitioners feel labradorite helps uncover hidden truths and deeper understanding of oneself.

Angel Oracle Card

I adore this card! What a card to have come forward for the month of May (it always reminds me of my Dad).

Grace. When I tune into this card, I’m filled with a sense that whatever we do in life, may it be done with grace. Kindness. No ill intent. Not only allowing grace for others, but also for yourself. If a particular challenge is presenting itself at this moment, take a step back and a deep breath before moving forward. Sometimes things take longer than we’d like to unfold, but remember, time is only a human concept. Things will unfold in their own natural time and pace. Allow it to unfold with grace. Don’t force. No matter how frustrating that may be, even if at times you feel you are holding on by the tips of your toes and fingers, take a moment to see how far you have come and how far you will go. Allow the seeds of change to take flight with grace, and see what adventures await.

I wonder what this May 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.
