Earth Medicine Healing
Earth Medicine Sessions
These sessions are a little unique and are completely tailored to you.
I trained under an English Earth Medicine Shaman, meaning that the healing is based around practices of my land (England), using plants that I grow in my garden specifically for this purpose. This makes the medicine that is offered to you as authentic as it can be, and from our land.
The crystals are all bought from suppliers who only select ethically sourced crystals.
What is it and
what does a session look like?
Earth Medicine combines the energies of the crystals, plants and elements, whilst being held by Reiki.
Sounds a little 'out there'? Maybe! But that's what makes it so very special.
The session lasts for around an hour and a half. Whereas with 'just Reiki' I tend to let Reiki show me what needs to be seen, and therefore we don't chat a lot at the beginning, with this healing we will chat about what's live and present for you at this moment in time. What you would like help and support with.
What you would like to be held.
And from the information you share with me, I will be guided in what crystals, plants and elements I use during your healing.
* We will start the session by calling in the directions together (with a little bit of drumming from me!).
* I will offer a little grouding meditation.
* And then I will place some crystals on your body.
The crystals will hold you and support you, starting the healing process.
* When I feel that you're ready, I will place some plants on you.
The plants will start moving things for you.
* And again when I feel you are ready, I will possibly call in an element (Earth, Air, Fire, Water or Ether).
There will be three or four placements in total - the first one to properly bring you into the healing space, the second/third ones to create movement within the healing, and the final one to ground you
and help you land back into the space.
And all the time Reiki will be running in the background, supporting, holding and healing.
Is it for me?
This is something that, to my knowledge, isn't widely offered, so whether it's for you is a very valid question!
This is not a healing that I would suggest that you had every week as it can offer deep and profound healing that will need time to integrate.
But if you would like help with shifting something that has been tricky to release or move,
an Earth Medicine Healing could be just what you need!
It's best understood from a testimonial.....
I recently had an Earth Medicine session with Karen, and it was truly a profound experience. From the moment we began, I felt completely safe and deeply held, allowing me to fully surrender to the process.
Karen has such a beautiful, gentle, and inviting voice that guided me effortlessly into a state of deep relaxation with the drum resonating in powerful waves of energy through my entire body, taking me on a transformative journey that felt both grounding and expansive. It was a sacred space where time seemed to stand still, leaving me feeling balanced, nourished, and at peace.
I left the session with a profound sense of stillness that I have carried with me long after we finished. I cannot recommend Karen’s work highly enough for anyone seeking to reconnect with their inner wisdom.
Frequently Asked Questions
These are a selection of questions that I'm regularly asked about Earth Medicine healings. However, there is no silly or wrong question, so please reach out to me if there is something that I haven't covered that you want to chat about or understand.
How is earth Medicine given?
You are invited to lie on my therapy bed, fully clothed. If you would like to, you can lie under a blanket to feel extra comfortable. With your permission, I will place my hands, crystals and plants on you.
How do you know where to put your hands, crystals and plants?
I will be competely guided by my intuition as to when and where I place my hands. However with the crystals and the plants, there are set placements that I will be guided to follow.
What can I expect to feel?
It is hard to say what you will feel during the session. A bit like a 'straight' Reiki session, you may feel heat, tingling, energy moving, peace, calm....
and emotions may arise and be released. You will feel exactly what you're meant to feel at that moment in time.
I struggle to lie still and clear my mind...
This is absolutely NOT a problem! Many of my clients will fidget and worry about their mind chatter, but Earth Medicine will do what it needs to do without you being stock still and completely clearing your mind, honestly! You need to do what works for you to be able to relax during the session.
Is there anything I need to do after a session?
After your session, your body will process the changes in energy that have happened and you may feel relaxed and sleepy, or calm and energised. Ideally, you need to drink lots of water to help eliminate anything that has have been released, and if possible avoid alcohol the evening of your session (this is purely to help the healing that has happened to settle.)
How many sessions will I need?
This is very much guided by you, but I would stringly suggest plenty of integration time between sessions.
You could also alternate Reiki and Earth Medicine sessions. It really is whatever works best for you and your healing journey.
I have a question that isn't covered here.
Please just drop me a message, give me a call, reach out however works for you! I am very happy to answer any questions that you may have as your healing is important to me and I want to be able to offer a safe, consensual space for this to happen.
