Don’t Leave It Until It’s Too Late: The Benefits of Regular Holistic Treatments

At Wild Lotus Wellbeing, I often meet new clients who come for their first treatment when they’re already feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or in pain. And while it’s always a privilege to help someone feel better, I’m also here to gently remind you: you don’t have to wait until you’re at breaking point to take care of yourself.

Making space for regular holistic treatments is one of the most powerful ways you can protect your wellbeing — not just physically, but emotionally and energetically too. It's not a luxury; it's maintenance. And just like you wouldn't wait for your car to break down before getting it serviced, the same applies to your body, mind and spirit.

Why Regular Holistic Treatments Matter

Holistic therapies like Reiki, crystal healing, massage, aromatherapy, reflexology and Indian head massage don’t just work on the surface — they support the body’s natural ability to re-balance and heal itself. But this process is most effective when it’s given space and consistency.

Here are just a few reasons why regular treatments make a difference:

1. Stress Prevention, Not Just Stress Relief

When you're constantly in “go” mode, your nervous system stays in fight-or-flight. Over time, this drains your energy, lowers immunity and can even lead to chronic health issues. Regular treatments help your body return to rest-and-digest, calming the nervous system and lowering cortisol levels — the stress hormone that can wreak havoc when it builds up.

🧠 Science snippet: Studies show that even a single massage session can significantly reduce cortisol levels and increase serotonin and dopamine — the body’s natural mood stabilisers.

2. Deeper, Longer-Lasting Benefits

The effects of one session can be powerful — but they build over time. Clients who receive monthly or fortnightly treatments often report:

Better sleep
Improved digestion
Fewer headaches and body aches
More balanced emotions
A greater sense of resilience and mental clarity

Consistency allows the benefits to deepen, rather than reset each time you return.

3. Putting Yourself on the List

If you're someone who takes care of others — whether as a parent, carer, partner or friend — it’s easy to put your own needs at the bottom of the list. But regular treatments are a reminder that your wellbeing matters too. In fact, looking after yourself ensures you can continue to show up for others in a way that’s sustainable.

You Deserve This Time

One of my lovely clients recently shared:

“Claire was amazing! She listened closely to how I felt and what my body was experiencing, instantly understanding what I needed. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a holistic and tailored massage from someone truly intuitive and talented.”

It’s this kind of connection and care that I aim to bring to every session. Whether you choose a gentle Reiki session to help you reset, a deeply relaxing aromatherapy massage, or a powerful Indian head massage to clear away built-up tension — these treatments aren’t indulgences. They’re lifelines.

Packages to Support Your Routine

To make regular treatments more accessible, I offer flexible and affordable options:

1 hour treatment – £50
90-minute combo: 1 hour Indian Head Massage + 30 minutes Reiki – £60
2 hour package: Any two 1-hour treatments – £80

These sessions can be booked weekly, fortnightly, or monthly depending on what feels right for you.

Start Before You Need To

You don’t need to wait until you’re exhausted, anxious or hurting to start healing. In fact, the best time to begin is now — before stress builds, before the overwhelm takes hold.

So take a breath. Take a moment. And take the first step towards giving yourself the care you truly deserve.

✨ Because it’s more than ok to give to yourself, as well as others.✨ Because you are worthy of support, balance and peace.✨ Because you don’t have to do it all alone.
