Quaint Souls - Holistic Wellness by Althea

This kind of calm might not seem like much....

Until you've hit rock bottom
Until your world comes crushing down
Until your mind won't stop racing.

Then this kind of stillness will mean everything.

A quiet mind
A softer heart
A moment to catch your breath.

Reiki can help create a space for this inner peace and balance when life feels particularly heavy.

If you, or someone you know is going through a rough patch, I invite you to send me the names privately and I will include them in my Reiki box this weekend.

No story or explanation is needed. Just the name... ✨️

May a little more peace and calm find its way to whoever needs it most 🙏

My Herbal Journey 🌿 Getting to know Rosemary 💚

Really hyped about crafting my first tincture from this beautiful herb today! Definitely was not expecting that pressing out a herbal tincture would feel so rewarding 😆

I made this tincture from fresh Rosemary and vodka, put it in a dark place to macerate, giving it a shake every other day for 2 months.

Why Rosemary? It's abundant where I live, apart from the fact that I love the smell. Rosemary tea has become something comforting when feeling a cold coming on, and I use it regularly in my kitchen.

What drew me most about this herb? I started looking deeper into Rosemary, particularly its long association with memory and remembrance, which resonated with me because of my experience with aging parents and memory loss. I was also interested in its traditional use for hair and scalp care.

Herbalism is not only knowing what a herb is 'for', its about developing a personal relationship with herbs.

What about you, have you ever made a herbal preparation? ☺️

How much energy are we using just to hold onto emotions we've never processed?

I've come to appreciate how much our emotional state can influence our overall wellbeing. When we suppress emotions, ignore our needs, or carry stress for long periods, it can leave us feeling depleted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from ourselves.

Learning to tune into our emotions, process them with awareness, and release what no longer serves us can create space for greater balance, clarity, and resilience.

Practices such as Reiki, meditation, and time in nature can help us reconnect with ourselves and support the body's natural ability to return to a state of balance.

This is something I continue to practice every day myself. Healing isn't about being "fixed" or having it all figured out—it's an ongoing journey of awareness, growth, and coming home to ourselves.

What’s your go-to for reset and regeneration? 🌿

For me, it’s definitely spending time amongst nature🌸

There’s something deeply calming about fresh air, greenery, the sound of the wind, and simply slowing down enough to reconnect with yourself.

And it’s not just a feeling — research has shown that spending time in nature can help reduce stress, calm the nervous system, improve mood, lower cortisol levels, and support both mental and physical wellbeing. 💚

Stress doesn’t just affect how we feel...

It creates real chemical changes in the body.

When we’re in constant “survival mode,” whether from physical, emotional, or environmental stress, our body releases a cascade of stress hormones that can throw us out of balance. Over time, this can impact our energy, mood, and overall wellbeing.

But here’s the powerful part: the mind and body are deeply connected. When we begin to calm the mind, the body follows.

✨ This is where Reiki can support you.

Reiki works gently with your energy system to:
• Promote deep relaxation
• Help shift the body out of stress mode
• Support emotional balance
• Encourage the body’s natural healing processes

By creating a space of calm and safety, Reiki allows your nervous system to reset — moving from survival into a state of rest, repair, and healing.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, tense, or simply in need of time to reconnect with yourself, this may be exactly what your body is asking for.

💫 You don’t need to push through everything alone. Sometimes, healing begins with simply allowing yourself to relax.

Message me if you’d like to learn more or book a session.
