~Who we are~

Moonheld Healing is a heart led space for women to slow down, reconnect with themselves and feel genuinely held.

Founded by me, Poppy, Moonheld has naturally grown and evolved alongside me over the past few years. What began as a small therapy business has become something much more intentional, centred around Reiki, nervous system support, intuitive touch, women’s wellbeing and the importance of true rest.

My own journey into holistic healing began in 2023 during a particularly tender time in my life. After experiencing a lot of loss within my family, I found myself searching for something that could help me process grief, find calm and reconnect with myself.

That was when I found Reiki.

I booked my first session without really knowing what to expect, but something about the experience completely shifted things for me. I felt able to soften, release and feel held in a way I hadn’t experienced before. I initially trained in Usui Reiki Level 1 purely for my own healing, before progressing through Level 2 and eventually becoming a Reiki Master. I am now continuing my journey towards becoming a Reiki Master Teacher.

Reiki is still very much at the heart of Moonheld. It has shaped not only the treatments I offer, but the way I work as a therapist. My sessions are intuitive and deeply personal, often weaving together Reiki with grounding, crystals, sound and sensory elements. Even within my more physical treatments, my awareness of energy and the whole person in front of me is always present.

Alongside Reiki, I have trained in massage, Level 2 NVQ Beauty Therapy, Crystal Healing and Tarot Reading, and I am a proud member of the UK Reiki Federation. Over time, however, my work has moved away from traditional beauty and towards something slower, more somatic and much more connected to how we actually feel within our bodies.

My own experience of living with PCOS and PMDD has become a huge influence on where Moonheld is heading. It has given me a personal understanding of just how much our hormones can affect us physically, mentally and emotionally, and has sparked a real passion for women’s hormonal wellbeing, cyclical living and nervous system support.

I want Moonheld to be a space that acknowledges that women do not feel the same every day. Our bodies, energy and needs change, and our treatments should be able to meet us there.

My facials are becoming more somatic and sensory, combining botanical skincare with slow facial massage, scalp work, warm towels, breath, lymphatic movements, crystal tools and intentional touch. My massage rituals are equally intuitive and tailored, rather than following the exact same routine for every body.

Everything at Moonheld is designed to look at you as a whole. Your body, your energy, your nervous system and, where relevant, where you are within your cycle or hormonal journey.

Today, Moonheld Healing is based in my cosy private garden studio in Bourton on the Water, where I offer Usui Reiki Healing, intuitive massage, somatic inspired botanical facials and deeply restorative rituals.

Moonheld will continue to grow as I do, particularly within Reiki, women’s hormonal wellbeing, somatic practices and nervous system support. But the intention behind it will always remain the same.

A space to slow down, soften, reconnect and simply be held.

Held by earth, guided by moon.
