Hello! I'm back from my little blogging break and feeling like sharing some of my latest health and fitness experiences.
I mentioned in my 'Redefining the Young Domestic Goddess' blog post that I was keen to feature more health, fitness and general well-being posts. Then life got in the way. I was invited to multiple restaurants and events by the lovely PR teams that I work with across London, and was beginning to become super dedicated to my exercise schedule. Due to this hectic life style (don't forget I have a full time job too!) my health really took a nose dive, hence my break, and I have been exploring holistic therapies to treat myself. And anyway, who doesn't love a massage?
Using the amazing Wahanda app, seriously get it - it will change your life, I booked myself a cheeky massage at Beta Ki Massage in Highgate. What really stood out to me about Beta Ki Massage was their focus on massage as a health therapy, rather than a lovely treat we get at the spa once a year. The owner Zannah is a Reiki Master, which she explained to me basically meant she was a total ace at this style of massage. She trained in New York and currently runs the Beta Ki Massage business from her beautiful home. I even got to meet her cat!
Before the treatment we discussed what I was looking for from the massage, my previous experiences, what health issues I had and what medication I was taking. Zannah introduced me to the various instruments she would be using during the treatment including a tuning fork which was tuned to the Om. This was something I had never come across before and it certainly heightened my interest in the treatment.
Using a mix of the tuning fork, essential oils, pebbles and stunning Reiki techniques I received a full-body massage like no other. We focussed on breathing to start with to create a meditative state allowing Zannah to really access my mind and treat specific areas of my body. She carried out a great deal of reflexology which felt divine and made me feel really comfortable at every stage of the process.
Zannah is a warm, kind and open-minded woman who's massage treatments I would thoroughly recommend to anyone. In terms of holistic therapy I cannot wait to visit Beta Ki massage again soon. I feel a weekly or fortnightly treatment could truly make a difference and I encourage you all to check her out.
