Serious note have you seen my wood element treatment
1.5 hours massage to celebrate the spring season which corresponds with the wood element in Chinese medicine. The organs of the wood element are the liver and gallbladder.
I've had some questions re the gallbladder if the treatment is still OK if you don't have a gall bladder. Yes it's perfect the energetics are still there and when one part of the system is taken out another takes the load.
Also the treatment is just designed as a nurturing treatment with intentional focus on liver and gall bladder meridians which run up and down the legs, and includes a face cleanse and massage with focus around the eyes, the sense organ of the liver and there is also acupressure points around the eyes.
And for disclaimer purpose I am not a Chinese medicine Dr and the treatment is not designed to diagnose, treat or cure and specific ailments with the liver or gall bladder.
Saying that I have an amazing network of health professionals that I refer to when things are not in my scope of work.
So let's link it back to coffee... been having too much book a treatment to nurture your body.

You know what's wild...
Explaining to humans why we need human touch and connection, why we need to connect to our bodies.
The biggest act of rebellion against a world heading toward ai and technology over biology, is to connect deeper to your human body.
I'm over here trying to explain how spinal energetics works, the benefits of it how it could help someone, trying to clearly define it.
But ain't no really asking how ai works how the internet works how Bluetooth works, well I mean sure people are asking these things maybe but I feel like the justification of why human touch is good for the body should need need a 5 hour Ted talk.
I get it though especially things like spinal energetics working in the energetic field, it is foreign to alot of people. Our bodies are divine technology but we're made to think that machines are more technologically advanced. It's time to claim back our biology, our innate technology, we cannot by pass the body.
What I'm trying to say here is we need to connect to our bodies, we are in the age of information we have so much awareness about our patterns and why we do things, we know all our our stories that bought us to this very point, but yet we're still lacking connection to our divine technology, we know everything yet feel nothing....
I'm not saying body work or spinal energetics is the answer, it's a point of human connection, connection to your body, connection to your feelings, a starting point to bring you into your body.

Follow the golden thread ✨️ 🪡🧵
I was asked to be a guest speaker at a women's in business dinner. It was so great I met beautiful women and shared some of my story that led me to become a spinal energetics practitioner.
The women at the event shared a bit about what they do there was a range women in business from a death doula funeral home director (which fascinates me side note I did actually want to be a death doula at one point, still might haha) and women tradies to gift basket makers, a women working in parliament. The one thing in common I saw in these women was a collective underlying thread of wanting to empower other women, be creative, hold space and they were all doing it in there own way being "healers" within their communities and maybe not even realising their magic.
This is what I want to share with spinal energetics working with the intention to empower others in their own magic but helping them connect to their bodies and their magic their gifts to create a ripple affect within their communities.
How does spinal energetics do this?
It bring you back to your body, starts to allow connection within the disconnection that the body may have created through protective layers.
We cannot by pass the body when it comes to our "healing" and evolution.
Our bodies are divine architecture, not one part of you is an accident. Did you know you have a cardiac notch in the left lung a space for the heart, do u think thats an accident, the way the body is designed fascinates me and they way pain and disease shows up in the body is no accident either.
OK I'm getting on a rant here but the golden thread here, is I met another women who is a beauty therapist and I have been looking for a space around batemans bay to casually rent to offer spinal energetics and I think I've found it, just working out some logistics etc but she has a beautiful space she offered me to share.
This is literally how I follow the golden thread I follow the yes to speak at the event. I trust it's for a reason other than speaking and sharing my story and boom hello divine alignment. So watch this space ✨️🧵🪡

So I was invited by one of my beautiful clients to be a guest speaker at a women's in business dinner, she asked me in the eclipse windows the 2 week period between eclipses where fated things happen so naturally I had to say yes. And that was my response I said well I'm freaking out but you've asked me in the eclipse windows so yes.
So now that day is approaching and I had to write a blurb about me which I'm not good at so I asked ol mate chat gpt, I didn't like the robots response it sounded to w***y and robot like so here's my blurb....
Katie McCarthy is a multidisciplinary practitioner and the owner of Katie McCarthy Integrative Wellness & Aesthetics, where she combines a range of modalities with a focus on helping people reconnect with themselves.
A diploma-qualified beauty therapist with over 15 years of experience, Katie’s foundations in beauty gave her a deep appreciation for connection and working with people. Her own life journey then led her into the healing arts, including Reiki, energetic healing and, most recently, becoming a qualified Spinal Energetics practitioner.
Katie’s approach to both business and personal evolution is simple: “Follow the feeling.” This philosophy has deepened her own intuition and now guides her work — supporting others to reconnect with themselves, trust their intuition and ultimately follow their own path and purpose.
What do y'all think, my talk will basically be about following the feelings in my life and business that led me to this point. I have not planned my talk yet so I'd love to hear some thoughts on what I could talk about that maybe inspiring or what you'd like to hear if you were attending a women in business event.

The wood element treatment
Seasonal spring treatment
Introducing the treatment to nourish you in the spring season
In tradition Chinese medicine spring Is linked with the wood element which governs the liver (yin organ) and gall bladder. (Yang organ)
The liver governs the tendons and sinews and the sense organ it opens into is the eyes.
The wood element treatment is designed to work with the energetics of the liver and gall bladder by focusing on the meridians and acupressure points that correspond.
The treatment is 1.5 hours and includes a facial cleanse and massage with focus around the eyes and energetics linked with liver and gall bladder. The treatment flows into a head and body massage. Energetically the solar plexus links to the liver and gall bladder and physically through the solar plexus nerve bundle. So of course this area is also included in the treatment.
Essential oils are used in the massage chosen for their therapeutic support and as a scent anchor.
The treatment is $135
I'm running a promotion till the 27th sept
only 10 available at $35 off making the treatment only $100 using the code "wood"
The treatment must be paid for within this period and booked within 2 months.

Now you can try out a smaller size before committing to the full size products.
And great for little gifts.
Spring has sprung ☀️
I'm starting off the spring season with a glow up and show up challenge just between friends, we have a little routine we film in hyperlapse and put it in our group. My routines have been pure chaos with dogs jumping on me but it's also showing me I can fit in snippets of intentional movement.
I'm getting back into the body brushing and using a massage cup to shift stagnation.
In traditional Chinese medicine spring relates to the wood element which is the liver (yin organ) and gall bladder (yang organ)
Each organ governs a tissue of the body the liver governs the tendons and sinews, think flexibility.
So of course I have an idea for a treatment coming which will then become a series seasonal offerings.
I'll be finalising the flow of the wood element spring season treatment today, it will look something like a massage with focus on the liver and gall bladder acupressure points, moving stagnation in the body and of course it will involves scents with essential oils and of course energetics because that's a given it will be a 90 minute treatment so stay tuned for more information on that. But if you already feel the vibe and want to book in and trust my flow send me a message I'll get you in. P.s Saturdays are booked till October.
We have been blessed with some beautiful days of sunshine 🌞 I'm taking all the moments I can to soak up the sun. Fun fact vitamin d is converted in the liver and kidneys so it's not just about being in the sun it's more about can you liver actually convert it.
Nourish yourself today even if it's just 5 minutes of intentional movement or extra hydration and nourishing foods.
Do you celebrate the change of seasons, if so I'd love to know what you do.

Today 7th august marks 25 years since my brother left this earth.
My share about this today is about grief and the layers that grief has, while you can process some of it there's also layers you won't experience till you have an experience that brings up that extra layer.
What I mean for example is say you've grieved a loved one and you feel at peace in a way with having an understanding that they aren't here anymore.
But then another layer presents as your life evolves eg having a child or getting married or a significant life event where you find yourself in grief again when you thought you already "processed" this but this didn't present untill this moment because then you experience the grief of what could have been and what experience you could have them if they were still here.
The impact of loosing close family - my brother and my father before I was 20 had a significant impact on the trajectory of my life and my career in the "healing" space.
I turned to all different modalities in my own search for healing and then went on to become a practitioner in those modalities because I found profound understanding and the ability to hold myself.
I had a big break away as a practitioner of healing work because I came to realise I was just using my job to be the one that held everyone, be the one that supported others because maybe if I can help someone with their suffering then I was a good person and I could be OK because then I was enough. And it was in this realisation I saw I was the one that needed to be held for a while instead of supporting others like a default programming.
And that's what I did, many pathways, many modalities, many practitioners. Then I came back to holding space for others in a different capacity, from a space of wanting to create the space for people to understand themselves and develop capacity in their own bodies to hold them selves when others couldn't. Not from my own trauma response to fix and soothe and just make everyone else ok so I would be OK.
Spinal energetics was do pivotal for me in my own healing and as a practitioner I didn't need to understand more I needed capacity to feel more and be in my body, to live..
4.0 upgrade today.
It's been pretty interesting this past year of my life things I hadn't planned and just ended up amazing like finding a property to live on, I just kept following the feels and here I am..
