Yesterday and today have been pretty special for me. I had the wonderful privilege of coming back to Poole Neonatal Unit to give Reiki to staff members, as part of Mental Health Awareness Week.
For those who don't know, my boys were born at 26 weeks gestation, 13 years ago and honestly it was possibly the toughest experience I've ever been through.
However, the care and support we received, both medically and emotionally, from all of the staff, admin through to consultants, was just incredible and we will always feel truly humbled and grateful for this.
Our NHS work so hard in such a continuous, high pressured environment, always putting others first before themselves, it felt special to be able to give something back, to help them for a change.
It was so lovely to see a few faces from 13 years ago and to meet many new ones too. I loved every single minute of my time in the unit, and it filled me with joy to see people float out the door after receiving their Reiki 🙏
Reiki can sometimes bring suppressed emotions to the surface, but this is an important part of the healing process, we need to have that release in order to find inner peace.
A huge thank you to everyone at the Unit for making me feel so welcome, and a special thank you to Jackie Clay Beauty and Holistic Therapy by Jackie my wonderful friend and Reiki Master, for helping me share the 'Reiki love' today! It was pretty special working as a team ❤️🙏
