Emelye purser
I have been working as a holistic therapist since June 2018. Holistic means whole body healing, so I combine the healing power of Reiki with massage therapies, hypnotherapy and Vision Oracle readings. All of these therapies are complementary, which means that they can be used with prescribed medications.
I am the founder of Intuitive Therapy. I manage my business creatively, by holding workshops at local events and networking by word of mouth, as an open conversation is helpful in so many ways. I enjoy the process of developing a good relationship with clients, and like to be flexible with time and resourceful with my knowledge on how to manage anxiety. In my book “Vision Oracle Loving You,” which is a collection of beautiful guided meditations, that have been created while walking the Dorset coast-line. They are used in therapy sessions, for wellbeing and relaxation. When you have your eyes closed, then listen, everything is understood in a different context. One that is not obvious, and that can work very successfully to explore the finer details of life. I endeavour to inspire creativity to chase away anxiety, and to encourage colour and inspiration into moments of relaxation, every day.
I used this inspiration to host Wellbeing Wednesdays. A much-needed support group for the blind and visually impaired community. The group participated with wellbeing discussions, and listened to my sensory journeys via zoom meetings. This provided a particularly important purpose during the coronavirus pandemic, when virtual journeys became incredibly meaningful. Then when the lockdown rules were lifted, continued to be an important support for those adjusting to the emotional overload, of dealing with crowded places, while struggling with mobility issues. These challenges were addressed in a steady, tactile manner to enforce a positive plan of action going forwards.
My most important traits are being present as a mother, listening to and understanding my children. Giving calm input to each, individual child, and delegating work to them so that we function efficiently as a team to get a job done well. This teamwork makes us stronger as a family and more able to listen and understand each other when the going gets tough.
As a guide dog owner, I know the importance of pacing myself, so that I have the strength to give my best during the preparation of my workspace and throughout an important treatment. I look after my health and wellbeing and endeavour to keep a good work-leisure balance in my family home. I am driven to improve myself physically and mentally, with sailing, kayaking, walking and gardening. I use these times of relaxation to design new meditations for my collection.
On our first meeting, we design a plan of action that we work on together. This plan is usually a blend of therapies that encourages progress, then with patience you can hope to reach a place of balance and creativity.
