Anne Huckerby - Freedom Therapies and Workshops
I became interested in Holistic therapies after having 2 spinal operations which left me with chronic pain. The medical profession could not treat me any further and wanted to manage my pain with drugs. It was then that I decided to look into alternative methods of managing my pain.
I took Reiki I in 2003 and since then have trained in Indian Head Massage, Crystal Therapy, Hopi Ear Candles, and went on to become a Reiki Master/Teacher in January 2007. Since then I have completed an Adult Education Teachers certificate and now train others in Reiki and Hopi Ear Candles, Meditation and Working with Pendulums. I also teach Indian Head Massage.
In September 2007 I began a support group for Holistic Therapists in the Derbyshire/Staffordshire area which brings therapists together to help and give support to each other. The meetings are open, not just to therapists, but to anyone who has an interest in Holistic Therapies. We have speakers who come along and give talks on various subjects, ranging from Crystals to talks on successful business practices.
If you are interested in any of the workshops or coming along to one of the meetings, please do not hesitate to contact me on 07985 421334 or e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
TREATMENTS
Reiki
Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing which was discovered by Dr Mikao Usui in the early 20th Century.
The treatment works with healing energy, which is channelled through the practitioner to the client. It is a very relaxing treatment and is a good stress reliever.
Reiki works on the emotions, mind and spirit, as well as the physical body and restores natural balance in the body, thus providing a sense of peace and well-being.
As well as traditional Usui Reiki, Anne also uses Angelic and Karuna Reiki in her treatments.
Hopi Ear Candles
Hopi Ear Candles are an ancient treatment developed by the Hopi Indians of South America.
It may help relieve symptoms of stress, sinusitis, migraines, ear infections and has been known to help with tinnitus.
The treatment is very relaxing and leaves the client feeling clear headed, calm and relaxed. Anne also incorporates a mini short facial massage within the treatment to help with sinus drainage.
PLEASE NOTE: this treatment is not suitable for people who have grommits or suffer with perforated ear drums.
Indian Head Massage
This very therapeutic Massage technique dates back nearly three thousand years and has been used in the daily lives of the people of India for that length of time.
Indian Head Massage concentrates on the areas of the shoulders, neck and head and may relieve symptoms of stress, including stiff neck and shoulders, eye strain and headaches.
This therapy can be given with or without oils depending on the clients’ preference.
Thai Foot Massage
Thai Foot Massage is a massage of the lower legs and feet and involves hands on stretching and massage to open Sen (energy) lines, along with the use of a stick to stimulate reflex points on the feet. Thai Foot Massage stimulates these points to promote generally health and well-being. A very relaxing therapy.
Benefits may include, improved circulation, stress relief, improved sleep and gives clarity of mind, stimulates the lymphatic system and gives the immune system a boost.
Crystal Therapy
Crystals have been used in healing for thousands of years, in various forms.
It is believed that each crystal has a different energy vibration and by placing the crystals on certain points either on or around the body they can help to bring the body’s energy systems back into balance.
Anne works on a very intuitive level when using crystals and uses crystals which are exactly right for each individual client. No two sessions will ever be the same.
Natural Facial Lift Massage
This extremely relaxing facial massage creates a total feeling of wellbeing, whilst helping the facial muscles to firm.
By having regular sessions the appearance of the skin and of wrinkles and lines may improve.
Before any of the above treatments are given a full consultation will be taken, so that Anne can get a full picture of any medical problems or symptoms you may have and so enable her to give you the most appropriate treatment for your individual needs.
