About Gail Lucas Complementary Therapies

I am a Complementary therapist and Reiki Master Teacher. I work out of my Therapy Room in Castle Gresley and also offer a mobile service to people who are unable to travel.

I have been working as a Therapist since 2006. I enjoy the work I do and seeing the difference a treatment can make. Sometimes it really can be like watching the transformation from caterpillar to Butterfly. For some the transformation is evident in the way they have come in for a treatment and the way they leave, for others the transformation may be much slower and gentle or you may experience a "healing crisis". Everyone is an individual and your treatment and outcome will always be specific to you. If you have any concerns please feel free to discus them with me.

As a Reiki Master Teacher I am able to attune and teach Reiki level 1 through to level 4. I would suggest you try a Reiki treatment a few times before you think about learning. Level 1 teaches you how to treat yourself, family and friends and you are attuned to Reiki energy. Level 2 teaches you how to be a Reiki practitioner meaning that you can use your skills to treat the general public for a fee. As well as attunement you will be given 3 symbols. Level 3 is master practitioner level. You will have a further attunement and receive another symbol enhancing your healing skills. Level 4 is master teacher level. Besides further attunements you will be given the knowledge of how to teach Reiki and attune your own students. For further information please contact me.

As a Reiki master in Angelic Reiki and various other forms of energy healing, I can teach and attune you to these system of healing. If this is something you may be interested in then please contact me for further information.

I regularly hold workshops on different aspects of my work and hold healing shares as well as weekly meditation session.

My training, work experience and any achievement

Aromatherapy involves the use of essential oils extracted from plants to help restore balance in the body and improve physical and mental wellbeing. The oil help promote health and vitality by stimulating the body to heal itself and reduce stress. Aromatherapy oils may be used in conjunction with another treatment for a small extra charge; such as a hand / foot bath or a hot/cold compress, or as a treatment in itself. Aromatherapy massages are available to treat specific areas such as back, facial, legs, arms, up to a full body including a facial treatment. Aromatherapy can be used to benefit and regulate your:
• Immune system
• lymphatic system
• nervous system
• skin
• circulation

• respiratory system
• digestive system
• urinary system

• muscular/skeletal system

My deluxe aromatherapy treatments are tailored to meet your personal requirements. The oils blended are chosen to suit your individual needs. The oils decided by the answers you provide during the consultation period which lengthens the time of this process.

Alternatively you can choose from a range of pre-blended oils - relaxing, uplifting or pain relief. The base oil can also be altered, to give the best possible outcome. This is very relevant if you have any kind of skin complaint - dry, oily, eczema, psoriasis to name a few.

Reflexology is based on the principle that the hands, feet, hands, ears and face are mirrors of the body with reflexes corresponding to specific glands, organs and parts of the body. Stimulating these reflexes can help many health problems and promote psychological wellbeing. Feet are the usual choice of treatment area as they are usually more sensitive to reflex points. However this is not applicable to everyone and some client’s prefer to receive a treatment on their hands. This is particularly the case with older clients.

Reflexology improves nerve and blood supply and gaseous exchange, helping the body to rid itself of toxins and to maintain a healthy balance. Many ailments may be helped by reflexology as it is a method of activating the body’s own healing powers

Reiki during a treatment, the recipient remains clothed and lies on a couch or sits on a chair and relaxes. The practitioner gently places their hands in a series of non-intrusive positions on or near the body. There is no massage or manipulation. Everyone experiences Reiki differently and you may/may not feel sensations during a treatment such as heat, icy cold, tingling, seeing colours or feeling a range of emotions. These sensations are perfectly normal. It is also okay not to feel any sensations, as they do not reflect the effectiveness of a treatment.

Angelic Reiki is a non-invasive, powerful treatment. It differs from Reiki as Angels are called in to oversee and partake in the healing their high vibration energy brings about healing and balance on a physical, emotional or spiritual level. You do not need to be religious to receive and benefit from Angelic Reiki as it is open to any belief system.

It is a very gentle although powerful treatment. The therapist acts as a bridge allowing the angelic healing energy to pass through them and into you. You will be lovingly supported to let go of physical, emotional and karmic imbalances as well as ancestral issues. Angels are not restricted by time and space and are excellent for clearing past or future life issues.

Distant Healing All forms of energy healing treatments may be taken in person (in my therapy room) or you may choose for your treatment to be carried out distantly. This would need to be at a pre-arranged time when you know you can relax and are not going to be disturbed, you would need to make payment and participate in a consultation prior to the treatment. And be available immediately following the treatment to give and receive feedback.

Shamanic healing is an ancient method of healing. Traditionally a shaman was a prominent part of village life, often known as Witch Doctor or Medicine Man. A shaman connects with the energies of the natural world, the ancestors and ancient knowledge, tapping into the power of Mother Earth and all creation to bring about healing and restore balance, not just to the individual but to the world as a whole, including people, plant, animals and all life forms. If a client has suffered an energy loss a shaman may “journey” to retrieve that loss. they may also give the client a task or a “mantra” to repeat to assist their healing.

A shamanic healing session, maybe loud, as the practitioner may use drums, rattles, chimes, singing bowls, chanting and song, as well as ’sacred smudge’ - a method of burning herbs or incense to spiritually cleanse and bless the area. The practitioner may use other healing tools, such as crystals, feathers, flowers, symbolic tools as well as hands on/off energy healing.

Thermo - auricular Therapy (Ear Candling) also known as Hopi Ear Candle Treatment.
The hollow candle acts like a chimney drawing out impurities from the ear into the lower section of the candle. The rising air inside the ear sets up a vibration which gently massages the ear drum, which helps regulate ear pressure. The warmth of the flow of air stimulates the circulatory and lymphatic systems which increase the body’s natural cleansing action, helping the body rid itself of toxins, maintain a healthy balance whilst stimulating energy. During the treatment you may feel a pleasant warm sensation and hear a pleasant fizzing sound. After the treatment people describe a soothing, liberating, light sensation in the ear and head areas.

Ear candles are used to cleanse and harmonise the recipient’s aura and can help with many problems in the head and ear area.
• Headaches and migraine
• Excessive or compacted wax in ears
• Irritation of ears or sinus
• Hay fever and Allergies
• Sinusitis

Further Information

Some conditions should not be treated or extra care may be required. It is important that you inform the practitioner of any existing health condition and you may need to discuss the benefit of a treatment with your G.P. prior to commencing a treatment plan.

A full consultation will be carried out prior to your first treatment and you may need to allow extra time for this or it may be possible to complete a questionnaire and return it prior to your treatment. Each following session will also include a shorter consultation, giving you time to provide feedback and for treatments to be adapted if appropriate.

All treatments are gentle and relaxing, used to maintain the body’s natural balance. There is no need for ailments to receive a treatment and appreciate its benefits.
