Rita
Ten years qualified in various holistic therapies- Aromatherapy Massage, Indian Head Massage, Ear Candling, Reflexology and I am also a Reiki Master all of which helps restore balance and harmony in the mind and body naturally.
For fifteen years my career was working with young children supervising in a playgroup and afterwards supporting children with learning difficulties in a primary school, all busy but very enjoyable and ways of working with the community. I am also a member of Moose International; this has been for nine years fundraising for local and national charities.
Then on the 28th February 2005, a day I shall never forget, I suffered a stroke at the base of the spine and had to spend three months in hospital. The result was I had no movement or sensation from the hips down and one side worse than the other. During my time in hospital some sensations slowly began to return and I had to learn to wiggle my toes, flex my ankles, move my knees and try hard to hold myself in a sitting position. I did feel that the time I had spent taking exams and learning holistic therapies had been wasted. But during these last three years a very good friend of mine Joy, has regularly given me healing and I began to give her reflexology and aromatherapy for her migraines and osteoporosis in her back.
Slowly my condition is improving to the extent that I can walk some distance with elbow crutches and I am able to resume my therapies to friends and members of ‘Moose International’ of which Joy and I belong. |

Joy
Most of my life I have been lucky to have worked with groups of people doing things I really enjoy i.e. British Red Cross for 20 years mainly teaching cadets.
Supervising 3 playgroups for 10 years and the last group was set up from the beginning, having to find a venue, fundraising for it, filling it with children and then finally teaching new supervisors in the local technical college.
Exercise classes to music for 15 years to the 50 plus.
Colour Consultant this is helping men and women choose shades of colour with clothes and cosmetics to suit their skin tone.
Qualified Reiki Therapist 9 years and worked with spiritual healing for many more years and witnessed some amazing results with certain clients.
Auxiliary Home Care Nursing 40 years.
Moose International 48 years, this has been fundraising for local and national charities.
I have broken several bones during the past nine years due to Osteoporosis; I have pain in the back, hips and legs and suffer from migraines, some lasting for several days.
The exchange therapies Rita and I give to each other helps me to ‘get on with my life’ and enjoy everything I get involved in.
We both feel that we are being guided to 'tell the world’ what healing and holistic therapies are so this is why we organise the ‘Tranquil Moments’ weekends in Winscombe Somerset.
