Because much of our European herbalism was destroyed by Christianity, it has taken much time, research and love to slowly regain its rightful place as the origin and foundation of modern medicine, our medicinal heritage.

In episode 6 of Healing Voices, the Pink Room of Healing Space on Chatsworth Road plays host to a conversation between Jamie and Hackney Jane, a shamanic healer who lives just two minutes away.

Getting a massage for the first time, or from a therapist you’ve never met before, can be a nerve-wracking experience. Let’s face it: getting near-naked in a room with a total stranger for an hour or more while said stranger touches you all over your body – sometimes in places where nobody has touched you for a long time, or perhaps ever – well, it’s just a bit… extraordinary, isn’t it? If you’re the kind of person for whom the thought of this provokes anxiety, then don’t worry – you’re not alone.

In fact, I’ll let you into a little secret. I only got my first proper massage – one where you undress and get on a couch and a trained professional puts oil on you and moves your tissues around – three years ago! No, that wasn’t a typo. Despite giving and receiving lots of massage during my time as an actor – in rehearsals and warming up for shows – I never thought I was the getting-near-naked-in-a-room-with-a-total-stranger type. The thought of it – the intimacy, the vulnerability, the potential awkwardness – sent shivers up my spine. No thanks – when those muscular aches and pains called, I’d just grit my teeth and pop a couple more paracetamol thank you very much.

How do we think about relationships, human contact and money! I try to shed some light on human Psychology, which comes from a Greek word psyche, meaning “breath, spirit and soul”.

A year on, the city of London, still looks totally deserted from being cosmopolitan to a ghost town! The virus has changed the way of life drastically, to an extent that we humans never imagined! From work, relationships, socialising, exercising to daily life routine, every aspect of life has been severely affected.

The question is, are we living in a denial or can we face the reality? Is this the virus or our attitude costing us lives?

The answer is simple, “we humans hate to be controlled by another “HUMAN” or even by “NATURE“!

My need to empower people came to me very early in life. After many years of trying different natural healing modalities, I found a 4 year course in herbal medicine, resulting in me gaining an honours degree way back in 2003.

After that I needed to travel, and in various places around the globe found others who shared their knowledge and skills in herbalism that no degree course could have given me. I also did several years of nursing at this time, to learn what happens in a hospital and understand how the medical establishment treats illness and disease.

One of the specialist treatments offered at Healing Space Hackney is Pregnancy Massage. As a practitioner, it feels like such a wonderful treatment to be able to offer and a real honour to deliver at such an special time for mums to be.

What is Pregnancy Massage?

Pregnancy massage - also known as pre-natal massage - promotes relaxation and bonding, soothes nerves, and relieves a strained back and tired muscles in expectant mothers.
