Therapist Spotlight: September Edition

My name is Jakki Hesse and I have been studying and working in the field of massage and alternative therapies for over 10 years. I am based at Amethyst Osteopathic & Complimentary Therapies Clinic in Selsdon and I am registered with the Association of Physical & Natural Therapists. I started on my path of alternative therapies in early 2002 when my marriage was breaking down and it was leading me to re evaluate what I was doing with my life. I started to look at myself and the lifestyle I was leading and it lead me to the wonderful joyful journey I am still taking today, with new experiences and new learnings that continue to help me grow and blossom.My training started with Usui Reiki and I discovered that, as well as self healing this could be used to help facilitate healing in others.  In 2015 I trained in a different Reiki called “Shambala” which has bought a wonderful new energy to my work and this quickly lead me to advance in my massage therapy. I specialise in seeing the person as a “whole” and I became interested in fascia because the whole body is connected through it. I trained in Fascial Unwinding and energy awareness as it compliments what I already do. I now specialise in light touch therapy to help with Scars, this is amazing work developed by "Sharon Wheeler" in America and there are a growing number of therapists trained in this work. I use Zephorium products personally and within my work, all my massages are using Zephorium oils and clients comment on the wonderful smells, I look at my clients as they come through the door and intuitively decide which colour I will use, I normally ask them to then choose a colour from the oils that are out and more often than not they choose  the same colour I intuitively chose for them. I use the sprays along with the massage oils and if people are coming for a reiki session I will use the aura sprays to help move blockages and then ground people at the end of the session. I also use with scar clients at the end of a session either the green or pink oil and have the intention of putting love into the scar and I have found that this really helps with the healing process. I believe in empowerment , building a persons strengths and reminding my clients, when they are unable to remember themselves, that they are “imperfectly perfect” because society states we should be better than, slimmer than, richer than other but I want to help people just “BE” and the Zephorium ethos fits with my beliefs perfectly.  In my spare time I spend time with my partner and my fur baby Bonzo taking him for long walks and travelling in our motor home called Betsy.

Day Dreaming About The Universe

Scientists have recently seen a plume of radiation of some kind flying out of a black hole. This sort of thing always gets me thinking about energy and its inability to be destroyed. I truly believe that nothing is ever lost and the theory that everything is sucked into a black hole and gone forever has never felt right to me. If energy can never be destroyed then how can love be destroyed? I have often wondered if black holes are actually the beginnings of another universe, maybe in another dimension. The black holes start with a big bang and explosion of light then universal matter is sucked though a gateway into where? Could it be that in another dimension a universe is being born and is being created from the building blocks of our universe?  How magical and mystical it all is.

Long Luscious Locks with natural aromatherapy oils.

People often comment on my hair, how soft it is, and shiny! Well my secret is this. Wash and dry hair as normal, then put a couple of drops of Zephorium body oil onto the palm of your hand. Rub hands together to spread the oil then lightly rub your hands through your hair. Be careful to just lightly run your palms through your hair so that you don’t leave too much oil in one place. Less is definitely more with oil. Only work on hair from about 2 inches away from the scalp to the ends of the hair. If you get too near the scalp it can look greasy. Used correctly the oil gives an instant glossy, sleek look to hair without having to spend hours styling. It’s great for photos as the oil reflects back to the camera giving hair a lovely sheen. You can use any of the body oils to achieve a great look, and your hair will smell nice too! If I want an extra special look I use a couple of drops of the carrot and carnelian face oil which has a slight orange glow and on blond or grey hair this can really liven up your colour with that sun-kissed look.
