As many of you know I recently lost my dad. Even though I am fully aware of the life that awaits us beyond this one, it shook me no-end. I woke up feeling immense sadness, and feeling unhappy with the void he left behind. I was due to visit Thamini for a review session later that morning, which I almost cancelled, but being my punctual self I scraped myself off the office floor, got into my car and off I went to see her.

Hanako is a Japanese word meaning ‘Flower Girl’ which Thamini truly is, and with her being so gentle, soft, and kind I felt right at home. Keeping in the flow of the Japanese Zen Energy the décor of her treatment room is beautiful, detailed with clean lines, immaculate, and radiating with serenity. Initially Thamini was going to do her Energy Destress Treatment, but upon reading my questionnaire with details regarding my current state of health and wellbeing, she changed her mind and suggested I have a Hypnotherapy Treatment instead.

Great Choice I tell you! She gently eased me into the session, first taking me through a guided relaxation process, then into a deep Theta type of relaxation where she addressed the evident issues after which she concluded the session with positive reprogramming. Oh wow I felt amazing! What a difference to when I first arrived, I felt relaxed, inspired, charged and just generally very good! My mood had lifted; I distinctly sensed that the dense energy of earlier had disappeared, I felt happy!

Hypno is a complimentary therapy that uses positive auto suggestion to tap into the subconscious to bring about change within the conscious which in-turn redirect our feelings and emotions to reflect a positive change within our thoughts and behavioural patterns.

Some of the other treatments that Thamini is positively passionate about apart from Hypno is Reiki, which can be combined with crystal therapy, Crystal Healing which is the use of crystals to bring about healing be it through massage or energy work, and then there is her Corporate Wellness Day Programs which is done on location. The extensive Corporate Menu ranges from one-on-one destress sessions to group guided Visualisation sessions, all with the focus on improving production and alleviating office stress and tension.

When it comes to retail therapy Hanako has just launched an extensive range of exquisite organic products designed for us to pamper ourselves with all we desire, for after all, aren’t we so worth it!?

    Sometimes the body needs a different way to release the tension we carry through everyday life. When Susanne Thomas introduced me to TRE (Trauma Release Exercises), I was curious but had no idea quite what to expect. After learning a series of simple exercises, I experienced something completely new—the natural tremoring response of my own body. What initially felt unusual soon became an intriguing way of becoming more aware of how my body responds to stress and tension. After several sessions, I found myself continuing the exercises at home and gaining a deeper connection with my physical wellbeing.

    Persistent neck and shoulder pain had become an unwelcome part of my daily life, so I decided it was time to explore a different approach to healing. My visit to Stacey for a kinesiology session proved to be far more than a treatment for physical discomfort—it became an insightful journey into the connection between emotional wellbeing and the body. Through muscle testing, compassionate guidance, and a holistic understanding of stress, Stacey helped uncover patterns I hadn’t considered before. This is my experience of a therapy that treats the whole person, not just the symptoms.

  • A review with Merle & Christine on their Manifestation Workshop

    ByTraci French

    Can a single workshop create lasting change? That was the question I found myself reflecting on after attending a Manifestation Workshop presented by Merle Westcott and Christine Hardy. Designed to uncover subconscious beliefs and hidden blocks that prevent us from achieving our goals, the experience proved to be both emotionally challenging and deeply empowering. Through practical exercises, muscle testing, and personal insight, I began to recognise patterns that had quietly shaped my life. This review shares not only my workshop experience but also the meaningful changes that unfolded in the weeks that followed.
