Lara Waldman has a natural talent for emphatic presence combined with her meditation mastery that…read moreis especially helpful to people whose sensitivity can lead them into overwhelm. In addition to meditation, Lara is an Access Consciousness facilitator who is able to guide you back to your body and out of the machinations of your mind. Her work is helpful when you can't shut off thoughts, calm down after a hectic days, or work in crisis occupations where dealing with your stress and everyone else's is a given. Check out her 4 weeks of meditation e-course on her website to get a sense of what working with Lara is like. Over the past few weeks its been hard to sleep at night as work has gotten more hectic. Sometimes one really does need support in the middle of the night. With most people not available to do evening or late night sessions, I began assembling a resource list of mind-body health practitioners in London and elsewhere, who are up when the sun is down in California. Lara is definitely one of them to call during a middle of the night stress attack.

Zowie is my girl…read more Seriously, I've been going to her for years for massages. They have kept me sane. They have kept me fit. They have kept me relaxed. She has kept me in working order. Besides being utterly lovely and reliable and the right blend of spiritual and cool, Zowie gives an incredible deep tissue massage that leaves me feeling energized (not like a wet noodle) and invigorated, while also relaxed. And now -- she manages and oversees Therapies at the Grocery, a lovely reincarnation (formerly My Treatment Rooms) that brings together practitioners in massage, acupuncture and reflexology in a calm and serene space. Enter through The Grocery on Kingsland Road, directly to the right and downstairs. At £60/hour it's a bargain. I find this to be a great deal given how excellent I feel afterwards. She has great availability and is easy to schedule with. There are also several other practitioners that have been great (my husband recently saw Alice). If you need some work, they will get you in. I've also gone to her for a session of reiki (energy healing) after having my baby, and could feel a sincere difference. I still invest in this as Zowie is so intuitive and has a special talent. Highly recommended. I consider this an investment in my well being and go as often as I am able. Keeps me fit as a fiddle! *Cards now accepted.
