Best Alternative Medicine Clinics Swindon Near Me

4worldlovers:
When I started my Remedial Massage practice, in 1993, a ‘business mentor’ said that it wouldn’t work in Swindon; I should go to Totnes or Glastonbury!

My thought was: relocating is not an option and people deserved pain relief in other towns too!

As Sean Stevenson put it: “don’t believe a prediction that doesn’t serve you!”

So despite the prediction and the difficulties life threw at me along the way, I followed my passion. Now I can celebrate 30 years in business for the whole of 2023!

I want to celebrate with you as I truly enjoy what I do. Helping people get better never feels like work and it now includes a lot more than massage. So I have devised 30 special mini retreats, available till 30th Dec 2023.

Maybe you are ready for a reset or a reboot like with old computers to get them functioning better.

Just like I was told my business wouldn’t work, have you been told that:

If you work hard you will succeed, Computers will make your life easier, Doctors will make you better!

This is what I heard as a child from parents, teachers, the media... However these didn't fit my experience of life. Trying harder just made me exhausted and frustrated at not making progress.

My experience as a nurse helped me realise conventional medicine was ill equipped to deal with chronic problems.

We have been conditioned to believe that someone else’s way is the right way and often only way.

How about in your life, are you lead by false beliefs?

We have been taught that in order to be liked we have to be good and behave. That generally means to listen and please others, rather than honour ourselves, our needs and values.

How often have you had a gut feeling and not followed through, then regretted it? This is because you were listening to someone else's path, not your own and staying true to yourself.

Ignoring such feelings and persistently sacrificing yourself can lead to frustration, anger, and overwhelm. Effectively what most people accept as normal stress. It arises because everyone else's wants and needs are getting on top of you. It might be the norm but that doesn’t make it normal!

Do you deal with it by ignoring it hoping it will magically vanish one day? Or maybe you go away for a spa day, or have a massage now and again. You might even think that going on holiday will make it better.

However, have you noticed that you relax there, but when you get home the same things still wind you up? Nothing has changed!

To me these are temporary avoidance. It's OK, they help recharge your battery but doesn't resolve anything.

You see, most spas and massages are designed as a generic product. They are not there to help you address specific issues and a holiday is a distraction and can be sometimes be just as draining.

Have the things you are doing to improve your situation stopped working or not working as well?

Doing more of the same and expecting a different outcome, is insanity,

Maybe you are ready for a completely different kind of retreat. One that can help you feel better for more than a few hours. One that can make a difference to your life. You might not need to do more but feel comfortable doing less.

Are you ready to put yourself first? (Yes you’ll probably feel guilty but this retreat can tackle that too.)

Remember, you can't take care of others if you don't look after yourself first. This is why you must put your own oxygen mask on, before helping anyone else (including your children!)

Do you want the courage and confidence to live YOUR life, rather than the one you have been told or believe you should live?

Because as the quote often wrongly attributed to Oscar Wild says

Changing your relationship with yourself, will affect the one you have with food, money, work and ultimately your relationship with others. You can't change others but you can change yourself!

It is easier than you imagine because you already have all the tools you need. How do I know? You are still alive! So whatever life has thrown at you so far, you have survived it!

Now you can choose to do more than survive and it starts with being able to love yourself. You can then love your life and others more, if you wish. The lack of alignment with our deepest self is the greatest cause of stress.
