Creative Care for Carers

Dear Carers

I would like to invite you to two free sessions at Thornbury Women's Neighbourhood House in November. I am offering companioning creative care to explore and experience self - care and 'giving from the over flow' a Sufi saying, rather than giving from a well.

The arts have long been acknowledged as contributing to people's well-being and are open and accessible to everyone. Maybe you care for a loved one and would like to explore some ways of being creative - to also care for yourself. I draw on my 10 years as Registered Nurse and 5 years of parenting and creatively working with a wide range of people including children and adults, who require full time care by loved ones, so I feel I may know a little about your challenges in being a Carer and also your joys.

I offer a gentle, safe, nurturing and nourishing space for you to gather with others who may share some of your experiences.

This is a free event offered by Thornbury Women's Neighbourhood House for the recent October Carer's Week.

With warmth and respect...

Shiatsu.

Could you do with some Relaxing and Energising?

TRY SHIATSU


Book in for a treatment and feel your energy refreshed.
Shiatsu can be helpful for conditions such as
- back, neck or shoulder pain
- anxiety
- injury
- menstrual issues
- digestive concerns
- pre & post natal care
- sleeplessness
- sciatica
and many more


Also in the Season of Spring, Shiatsu can be very helpful in supporting a Detox program. This is the Season which is of the Wood Element in Oriental Medicine, when the Liver energy is at its most active.


I have practiced Shiatsu in many varied settings, supporting women in birth, assisting people experiencing drug & alcohol withdrawal, in corporate offices, and in the beautiful clinic space at Autumn Retreat. I have worked for many years as a Registered Nurse, and am mother to my 3 1/2 year old daughter, Micah.


Treatments available at Autumn Retreat, 129 Miller St Thornbury
Tuesday 2pm - 8pm (and other times by appointment) $80/$60 conc.


Call me, Naomi Takita, for any queries about Shiatsu or to make a booking
Mention this post for $10 off your first treatment

I Went to the Newlands Clothes Swap and all I got was this…

Fabulous pink, yellow, aqua and green curly whirly woolen scarf,

A brown suede jacket, lined, warm and cut perfectly to fit,

A fury, sheepskin jacket,

A pair of black boots,

A Thomas the Tank Engine sheet,



I got a fabulous floral frock,

I got to hold a baby,

I got a caramel coloured beret,

I got to get rid of a lot of stuff,



I got a cosy green woolen hoodie, exotic woven scarves and flowerpots.

I got to make new friends and

I got to feel welcomed into a great community.



Gee thanks one and all!
