Luna Retreats was put together because I have a strong conviction that everyone can have a healthy happier life. Wellbeing is not just about the physical and its not just about the spiritual or inner you. It’s about caring for both these areas. Your wellbeing is affected by all aspects of your life and the events that occur and importantly how you react to those events. Whether events happen in your personal, family or work life they can have a profound effect on you throughout the day, week or month. Some events can affect you for the rest of your life.

But does this have to be the case? Do you have to passively sit there and take what life dishes out good or bad?

I believe with the right tools and strategies everyone can learn how to deal with life’s events in a more constructive way. So that while we can enjoy the good events we don’t need to allow the not so good events to effect both our spiritual and physical wellbeing in the long term.

You can take action and Luna Retreats will be there to help you find your way. When I say your way I mean YOUR WAY. We are each individuals and we are born with the ability to survive, now begins the journey of enhancing that survival instinct into something more something great.

I would like to share some of my own journey with you. For 30 yrs I worked as a registered nurse and registered mental health nurse. I have worked in many hospitals, both city and rural. Community work, consultancy work and remote work. I left not because I was under paid or over worked but because I no longer wanted to work in a job that held such opposite beliefs to me. I felt something was not right. After all wasn’t I suppose to be caring for people easing their burden helping to return them to good health, shouldn’t I be teaching them so that they could maintain their health and prevent illness/disease.

Instead I found that more and more my role was to burden their bodies and minds with invasive harmful treatments. There is little tolerance amongst the medical profession for so called alternative treatments.

Outside of work I rarely if ever visited a GP my first port of call would be a naturopath or homeopath. I embarked on a journey of learning and discovery. What an amazing journey it has been. I found Osteopaths, Bowen therapy, Massage, Reike, Pranic Healing and the list goes on.

I didn’t just try these methods of healing I learnt about them and embarked on a year of naturopathic studies, introductory courses in massage, reike and a pranic healing course. I learnt counselling and life coaching skills. Relaxation and meditation. The benefits of a healthy organic diet and the benefits of yoga and the martial arts.

 My point is if I can learn all these things so can you. Don’t worry your not alone Luna Retreats is a great starting point. To help you get started I have provided a free step by step guide to a Basic Relaxation Technique I have included both the 30 minute version and a quicker 2  minute version for  those times when you feel your tension levels rising.
