Breathe in deeply, hold your breath for a second, gently open your lips apart, and let go. This soothing movement of breath is a constant reminder to connect back to yourself and be present.
Reiki can take you further into a deeper state of connection while Yoga empowers you to find balance.
Reiki isn't the simple answer to all your problems. The benefits of Reiki can range from helping with stress, insomnia, trauma, chronic pain to energy blockages, fatigue, foggy brain, depression, however there's more. Reiki can also shake your life, your habits, your energy level, your mood, your ability to say no. Most importantly, Reiki is a non-invasive, non-addictive energy healing technique that is a beautiful complement to any other kind of treatment (traditional medicine, naturopathy, nutrition, counselling, osteopathy, remedial massage etc).
Reiki can be translated from the Japanese, where it traditionally comes from, to “spiritually guided life force energy”. During a session, Reiki practitioners act as a channel, tuning into this energy and guiding it in your body. Receiving Reiki can be quite an experience, the recipient usually feels warmth and tingling, and then leaves the session feeling relaxed.
When you book a healing session with me, I always ensure you know what to expect. I will give you some information about the practice and will happily answer any questions that may arise. After the session, whether you opt for a distance Reiki treatment or hands-on-healing (in person), there will be space to share about your experience. A follow-up might be booked for free to chat further about tools and techniques to empower you in your journey. This might include chakras meditation, breathwork, movement, mantra etc.
Originating from India, The word Yoga comes from the Sanskrit “Yoke”, meaning “union”. The physical practice, commonly shared in the West, serves as a preparation to sit. Once the body has moved, the mind can find quietness.
Breathing exercises, mantra recitations and different meditations are all part of a Yoga practice so Yoga is accessible to everyone. The aim is to calm the fluctuation of the mind by uniting body and mind.
Exploring shapes the body can make can range from intimidating to exhilarating. During a practice, the invitation is to enquire how the mind is reacting, learning to unravel negative habits and rather fall into the awareness of the present moment.
Mindfulness, the gift of Yoga, is then practiced outside of the mat and leads to better stress management, focus, productivity and beautiful connection to self & others.
When booking for a private or a group session, I focus on a few things:
* accessibility (experience, age, gender, ability...): we workshop what works best for you.
* agency / trauma informed: with invitations and guidance, you are in control of your practice. Hands-on modifications are always optional.
* cultural appreciation: learning and sharing all aspects of Yoga from its roots, mythology and different tools & practices.
My name is Marion and some call me Cherry :)
I completed an associate diploma in Animal and Human Behaviour in France in 2011 and loved learning about Physiology and Neuro-Biology. After my studies, I travelled for a year, opening up to other cultures, slowing down and enjoying the richness of life and discovering Yoga. I also discovered that I was more interested in participating in people's happiness, so I went back to school and did an apprenticeship in... pastry! Smells, colours, flavours, textures... Using the senses is an amazing way to be present.
I landed in Australia in 2015, falling in love with the vibrant, multicultural and vegan-friendly Melbourne and its inner north suburbs. I worked in hospitality, marketing, and admin to fund multiple trainings in Reiki, different styles of Yoga, Breathwork, Sound Healing. After a few additional years of practice, I felt ready to share with others and in 2019 Cherry Healing was born.
My mission is to accompany you to allow the energy to flow, for you to blossom and to grow.
With empathy and kindness, I’ll hold a safe space for you to feel comfortable during our chats. I also value trust and non-judgment so you can fully open, accept whatever arises during the treatment, and really let go. Sounds, movements etc are always welcome.
I love exchanging tips and techniques to fit your needs while practicing non-attachment to the results. I believe it is important to enjoy the process first, creating durable, healthy habits and identifying triggers that lead to bringing you back to previous patterns.
Meditation and self Reiki allow me to get closer to my true-self and sharpen my intuition. After a healing session if you wish, we will chat about our interpretations and what resonates with yourself. Coming back to your intention and trusting Reiki's magic.
I'm currently travelling overseas, therefore I'm unable to receive you for in-person reiki and sound healing sessions in Melbourne.
However if you are interested in either a distance Reiki session or discussing about opportunities, feel free to email me or contact me through Whatsapp.
I acknowledge the traditional Custodians of the land on which Cherry Healing operates, and pay my respects to their elders past, present and emerging. I commit to donate 1% of all revenue to Healing Foundation , to help close the gap.
