Firstly can I just say a huge thank you for all your lovely comments, shares, shout outs, support and likes across my social media around the brand new offering of 'R E I K I / I N / T H E / W O O D S' I can't begin to tell you how excited I am to be finally bringing this to life. Your responses are like a green light from the universe!

Also I apologise that my usual 'M I D - W E E K / M U S I N G S' newsletter didn't drop into your little boxes yesterday.

Ironically I have reached my free limit on Mailchimp which again was the nudge I have needed to switch platforms. But not wanting to overwhelm with too much, something new and exciting is coming. I'll wait until my quota starts again in June and send a final email explaing all, and then I'll do a post to keep you in the loop. It will be a special place for you to visit.

But what I would have written about is this light. The one that dips at the end of the day, casting flickering shadows from my outdoor plants across the walls. Like a puppet show just for me, full of movement, shapes, shadows and warm flickering rays.
It layers itself across furniture, draped like a ribbon of gold. Soft, inviting and gentle, that all I want to do is rest, with a herbal tea, open book or even just close my eyes and let the day wash over me.

Warmth and sunlight makes us want to linger, lounge, laze and languish in the glimmers.

So with the bank holiday looming and the promise of scorching long sunny days. I hope you get to enjoy the sunlight, but safely. Lots of SPF, hydration and wide brimmed hats, floating cotton and cool shaded areas to retreat to, and who knows maybe snooze a while!

Sending all my appreciation, gratitude, love, light & blessings to each of you here on my tiny space.

This idea. This way of allowing Reiki to form and glow from a completely new angle. Is something I have been carrying, nurturing and simmering for a while now.

Universal energy or life chi is all around us everyday. Seasonal shifts where sap rises and buds blossom. Birds nest and leaves unfurl. Creates this beautiful synergy of energy from the land to the skies. Waxing with the moon and twinkling with the celestial stars.

My wish is to offer an extension of Reiki outside of my cabin walls. Allowing for a deeper spiritual ecological connection to something tangible, real and growing.
Where the land and myself hold you in a space that elevates your vibrational energy.
From birdsong to dappled light. To a gentle breeze, that transports you to a new place.

If this resonates then I am quietly introducing a new seasonal outdoor offering from Meadowsweet Wellbeing.
It will form part of my unique nature based wellness offerings. A Reiki experience that is held within a peaceful private woodland space for comfort privacy and seclusion.

Each exclusive session will be designed for those feeling overwhelmed, emotionally tired or simply in need of somewhere to rest for a while.

Each session incorporates a mindful walk, breathwork and grounding. Before settling into a deeply supportive setting, ready for a calming Reiki Session which is guided and facilitated by Melita, an experienced Reiki Master Practitioner. Truly giving you you space to breathe, relax and unwind.

Mondays only
Introductory rate £68
Limited 1:1 sessions available

If this feels like something that could be helpful for you to experience, then you’re very welcome to message me for more details 💚

Love, Light and blessings,
Melita ✨

Yesterday I received the most beautiful, heartfelt review from a truly lovely regular client, and honestly...it brought happy tears to my eyes.

Moments like these are such a gentle reminder of why I started Meadowsweet Wellbeing all those years ago.

To be trusted to hold space for someone going through trauma, healing, recovery and life's tender seasons is something that I feel incredibly privilged to do. It made me realise just how meaningful safe spaces, gentle led care and being truly seen can make such a big impact.

This is what is at the heart of all the work that I do here, at my Meadowsweet cabin. Amongst the mature planted garden, the light, the wind, the birdsong. Allowing you a chance to exhale, and breathe.

Thank you Rosie, for allowing me to be part of your journey and sharing your beautiful words here. ✨💚

A little local business shoutout today 🩵

Yesterday I finally took an hour for myself and went to Meadowsweet Wellbeing for a massage with the lovely Melita.

As many of you know, running Little City can be quite a physical job and after 4 busy days in a row setting up the City, my body was definitely holding onto a lot of tension! From the moment I stepped into her beautiful garden cabin I felt calmer. It’s such a peaceful, welcoming space and for the first time in a while I properly switched off from the endless to-do list in my head.

Melita gave the most wonderful full body massage and because she is also a trained Reiki practitioner, treatments always feel incredibly thoughtful and tailored to exactly what you need.

Also if, like me, you have a history of cancer or health concerns around treatments, Melita is so knowledgeable, gentle and reassuring in how she adapts sessions to suit you.

I’ve been going to her for the last 4 years and always leave feeling lighter, calmer and much more like myself again if I’ve been having a wobble. I very rarely post recommendations like this on the Little City page, but she truly deserves one 🩵

If you’re local to the Didcot area and feel like you could do with a bit of time for yourself, I can wholeheartedly recommend following her page and booking in with her. You can’t pour from an empty cup ✨

overwhelmed, or just not quite yourself lately?

My sessions offer a calm, private space where you can pause, breathe, and feel supported. The Meadowsweet Garden Cabin is a haven away from the bustle and noise, located in the older part of Didcot town.

Whether experiencing Reiki, gentle body work, or simply having time to rest. Guiding and helping you to feel more like yourself again is at the core of my practice.

I currently have a small number of appointments available daytime on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursday evenings.

If you’ve been thinking about booking, you’re very welcome to reach out to message me and have a chat, or book direct below. 💚

Love & Light
Melita

I am so glad that I managed to get the opportunity to do these workshops. With Gold being the final level.

It opened my eyes further as to how trauma and grief affects us as individuals, but also how corporate companies and organisations can help with their own approach to helping this journey too.

These levels have given me more confidence and knowledge around different areas of trauma and grief. A place where I can support my clients better. I've learnt some beautiful ways to allow connection to reconnect. Ways to listen, to allow you to be heard and by being there with knowledge I can be more supportive.

My Reiki 1-1 sessions are a series of stand alone Reiki with some blended with gentle body work, and my 'Gentle Flow' membership offers a continuous way to feel that support.

My work can be adapted to meet you where you are at.

Often Reiki can stir up emotion, feelings and a release of emotional energy. Which is a way of cleansing, recalibrating and finding your way back to your true light.

This training has given me more scope to be on hand if this arises and to help you navigate through what you are experiencing. So that you feel understood and supported.

I'm releasing daytime appointments from mid April onwards with one evening available so that I can help you, especially if you are working in the week.

When life shifts, it can leave you feeling not quite yourself.
Grief. Change. Overwhelm.

I’ve shared a few thoughts on how Reiki can support you through these quieter, in-between seasons over on my journal in the link below.

☕ I'll also be hosting another community gathering of gentle Coffee & Conversations next Monday 23 March at Harwell Campus.

Spring is literally bursting forth like an eager puppy off the leash at the park. Daffodils, Tulips, Hawthorn Blossom, Birds flying by with twigs. Early morning and late evening light feels like someone just opened the curtains. There’s a shift in the air. You can sense it, you can feel it, you
