Holistic Counselling Therapy
After many years of working as a counsellor and trainer at the Shakra Centre, seeing how a more holistic therapy approach can speed up the healing process..... Elaine has developed a method of combining talking therapy (counselling) with Reflexology, Indian Head massage and even sometimes with Reiki & Crystals
It is an effective way of dealing with issues and concerns that are preventing us from living a fulfilling life.  Also an effective and gentle way of dealing with trauma that is being held subconsciously  within the  body.  
After an initial consultation, suitable treatments can be agreed between yourself and the therapist. There is no commitment for future appointments although they may be recommended.  
The number of sessions required are depended on the severity of the condition you are seeking help for 
£45 per hour session

Other treatments available with Elaine:

Reflexology

Seated Massage at the Shakra Centre with Kate Stirling beginning May 2023

Chair or Acupressure massage is a form of massage therapy that is performed while the client is fully clothed and seated in a specialised chair. This allows for a comfortable rest forward, with arms and legs supported and the head relaxed into a face cradle.   I release muscles and knots through clothing and so lotion or oil is not necessary. A non-invasive therapy and suitable for everyone.

It is a meridian based therapy and gentle pressure is used on the major points accessible on the back, neck, arms, hands and head.

This technique helps to stimulate and balance the flow of energy throughout the body. In turn this stimulates the circulatory, muscular, nervous, immune and lymphatic systems whilst promoting the release of endorphins and mood-regulating neurotransmitters. 

A 30 minute seated massage session offers numerous benefits such as:

- Reduced muscle tension & knots
- Assists the removal of toxins
- Headache & migraine relief
- Deeper more relaxed breathing
- Increased focus and attention
- Stress & anxiety reduction
- Helps boost the immune system
- An overall sense of well-being 

A 30 minute massage costs £30. Additional treatment lengths are available on request.

Dawn - Trauma, Mind Health & Soul Therapy

After many years experience working & supervising in the health care profession for special needs and the elderly, Dawn now Specializes in offering Trauma therapy & Support for Mind Health & disabilities, including:  Spina Bifida, Motor Neuron Disease, Strokes, Trauma, Insomnia & Brain injury. Dementia, Autism, OCD, Fibromyalgia, ME, Migraine & Depression as well as past life therapy, soul healing & trauma therapy. Primarily using subconscious therapy, regression & mindfulness techniques combined with energy healing, Dawn helps release trauma and shock from the body to gain mobility and positive attitude of the mind to continue recovery and helps people move on with their lives. 

In the cases of conditions such as Strokes, Dawn has managed to reconnect and 're-programme' the brain and nervous system gaining strength and mobility where it had been lost for many years. 

Working on case studies Dawn has produced astounding immediate results with Physical disabilities and Brain issues such as Spina Bifida, Strokes, Motor Neuron Disease, Trauma, Insomnia,  PTSD & Brain injury.  Also enjoying success with clients who have had amputation surgery including breast removal & limb amputees enabling the client to feel 'whole' again and even gaining sensitivity of feeling in limbs that have been removed.

COVID
​
Long covid issues include exhaustion, cramps and pain similar to fibromyalgia and our holistic treatments help relieve these symptoms.  Use of the salt room too will help relieve respiratory issues as it aids breathing.  Clients with lung cancer and asthma have found the salt cabin to be a positive influence on their comfort and recovery.  Plus we are also creating a new colour therapy room with meditative music and candles which is a relaxing way to boost our energy fields.  Will keep you posted!

With recent Covid scare, it has released emotional and mental fears that had been previously repressed alongside physical symptoms.  With clients Dawn has already seen since re opening back in July 2020 there is a common theme....   just trying to distract yourself just to be able to 'cope' not knowing if they or family members will become sick, whether ever able to return to work again, feeling trapped but frightened to go out and so on....

The reactions and repressed anxiety we have seen from our clients is similar to holding their breath for months! Childhood fears and phobias returning or surfacing for the first time.  For many of us we are having to deal mind and emotional issues while facing major changes in our society and trying to return to 'normal life'.  For many people this anxiety is new and unnerving but be assured these treatments are discreet and private and all new clients will have a short consultation to ascertain problems and discuss together how we can help relieve them.  Our aim above all is to assist clients with their recovery naturally and in a positive relaxing manner. 

Many people contacting us, including Key NHS nurses, with anxiety, nervousness and depression they have never been aware of or suffered with before, it is a delayed reaction and the emotions and mental stress can feel totally overwhelming.  Our inner fears and fight or flight reflex have been triggered along with a sense of not being in control and losing a sense of reality.  Our therapies will gently release these fears to regain a sense of balance and awareness.  There is also a delayed response for sometime after, where sleep patterns can be disturbed as the mind tries to process the trauma once it has the time to do so.  It maybe then that memories of situations can be triggered.  

Whether adults or children. Emotional outbursts and recurring illness are a indication of hidden soul issues, that may have been repressed or ignored.  These issues are often blocked from memory & can cause recurring nightmares or physical symptoms.

Trauma therapy involves a relaxing session that releases many issues that are causing problems in your life whether emotional, physical or psychological.  It gently releases stuck subconscious issues and emotional blocks without the need for you to regress back to the time of the trauma, helping you regain control of your life in a safe comfortable non clinical environment.

Sessions are an hour for adults  £45   
Special needs or children under 18   £25 for 45mins.
Please note with children under 18 and special needs clients, parents and carers remain with the client in the healing room

Testimonials

Marks story....   
Mark was born with a defect in his right foot and leg and had major operations very young and at 18months had the lower part of this right leg amputated.  During healing we worked on removing emotional issues and trauma from childhood and managed to regain 'feeling' in the lower right limb.  "The only way I can explain the sensation is that I can feel my old 'real' leg over the top of my prosthetic.artificial leg"!

More Testimonials & Feedback:

Mr G  Stroke patient
"I was recommended by my Sister and Niece to have a healing session with Dawn.  My niece suffered terribly from anorexia and bulimia and my sister so worried and as all other counselling and psychotherapy just didnt work for her, decided to give Dawn's soul healing a try...  At the end of her session my niece turned to her Mother and said, Mum can we go to Waitrose on way home and get some food"! to say the least my Sister was gobsmacked!  Dawn was chatting after about how she was working also with stroke and dementia issues and this is why my sister suggested I gave it a try.  I have been deaf since birth and suffered a stroke 15 years ago which affects the whole right side of my body.  At the end of a very relaxing session, (I actually fell asleep) as I was putting on my jacket I noticed that my hands had increased movement.  After 15 years of minimal progress this has amazed me and in just an hour?  I am now going back to have regular treatments with Dawn to see if we can get even more movement.  So glad I found the Shakra Centre.   My family will be recommending this healing treatment to everyone.  Mr G

Mr G continues to visit the centre every 6-8 weeks and is continually improving mobility to his arms and legs and also positive mind and remains free of depression and anxiety.

"I just wanted to say thank you for all the help you gave R....... last Wednesday. By the next day he was very different, he seemed "lighter" is the only way I can describe it. He is not so troubled and has even started painting again. He says he will come back to see you but possibly not until after the next blood test.  Once again thank you for all your help, I can see some of the old R...... coming back".

Emma Mason reviewed Shakra Centre – 5 stars
I have just had the most incredible Crystal Healing with Dawn. I had no expectations upon entering the treatment room but when I left I literally felt like a new person. I'm open to holistic approaches and have an interest in this area but even I was surprised at how powerful this treatment is. At one point I literally felt I was floating on air ..... it was an absolutely magical sensation. 
After an extremely difficult few months and feeling very lack lustre and emotionally drained Dawns amazing healing touch was just what I needed. 
My visit finished with a salt room treatment and herbal tea looking out over the beautiful gardens ..... charming, serene and enchanting The Shakra Centre is a fabulous place to find yourself again and reconnect with what is important. You and your state of mind. Just fabulous. Thank you so much Dawn. I'm still smiling.

I finished my chemo in February and I am currently in remission.  I am truly grateful to you both for getting me through this difficult time in my life
​
DP Cancer patient
I was told the words no one wants to hear and that leave you numb.... "I have to tell you that not only do you have prostrate cancer but it has spread to your bones" Now the well meaning sympathy and encouragement start to flow from family and friends. The physical side of coping like tablets and diet click into place as you fight any further intrusion.

But no one knows how you feel, the fears and worries in your mind. Those close to you are so preoccupied in trying to ease your situation they cannot sense how you truly feel. So you reach out for anything to help you cope. I decided to try mindfulness/meditation to help with the turmoil in my mind particularly at night trying to sleep.  

The Shakra Centre ran sessions on meditation and almost at once I found myself becoming less stressed and sleeping sounder but I still needed to talk about my cancer and get guidance from an impartial source.

Nowhere does there seem to be a self help group but fortunately I started a one to one course with Dawn who has used her expertise in crystal healing, hypnotherapy etc. to bring out the negativity in my mind and enable me to concentrate more on the positive side of my life. She has made me address my ways to be more about me rather than spending all my energy worrying about those close to me all the time.  Being able to talk with folk in the same situation, understanding you are not alone, discovering little things that others are doing to improve their thoughts etc. I am sure will help us all come to terms with our burden.  Having a self help group with dawn leading for those who are in a similar place with cancer can only be beneficial.  DP

"As I am going through treatment for breast cancer I was recommended to see Dawn at the Shakra Centre in Kent.  At first I thought this was just going to help me relax and in my first session I was enjoying feeling pampered as the healing began.  Then I found myself releasing so much anger that I had no idea I was holding onto.  It was such as relief and strange to say I felt so empowered by the experience, she showed my ways to offload repressed anger and emotions without feeling overwhelmed.   I didnt realise that crystal and energy healing could be so powerful.  The meditations and mind work really help me to stay positive".   Ms S
 
Dawn Rumsey I am truly amazed at how I feel after my first crystal healing therapy yesterday. So much makes sense now! My head is clearer, I feel physically lighter and I wish I had done this sooner! I am booking Mum in for next week!

WOW!! The most powerful Reiki session I have ever experienced by Dawn. I feel as though a huge weight has been lifted from me. I experienced tiredness for the last couple of days but now feel fresher and emotionally lighter, I have recommended it to some friends as I know they would benefit and one has already booked which is great news. Thank you, see you Saturday for my salt room session.

"Had a most AMAZING Reiki session with Dawn on Tuesday. Felt tired for a couple of days afterwards but that's to be expected.
I came away with a sense of peace and feeling calm.   I'll definitely be going back. Thanx again Dawn, see you soon" J

This is Nick's story...

"Since having been diagnosed with my Lymphoma, I have been to see Dawn at the Shakra Centre for crystal healing sessions.  Dawn's passion and empathy for her healing makes you feel so welcome and soon puts you at ease.  You have to do nothing but lay and take yourself away to some relaxing place, mind is a sun drenched beach with palm trees while Dawn carries out her healing..
The first session I had with Dawn, she expressed she was picking up on an area around my neck and at the time I was experiencing much discomfort as I had 2 lumps come up on my neck which had been slowly increasing in size and were quite sore and painful.  At the end of the week of the healing I was scratching my neck when I realised that both of my lumps had completely disappeared.  I searched for them but absolutely no sign"! I thought how amazing is that, coincidence or what...? and at this point I had not started any cancer treatment.
After a crystal healing session I spend some time in the Himalayan salt cabin.  A totally relaxing mind clearing experience.  A bit of me time.. After each session I have at the Shakra Centre I come away feeling completely relaxed and energised.  Thank you Dawn for your passion, enthusiasm and generosity.  God Bless You".  N.W.  7th April 2017
