The Power of Healing: Reconnecting Mind, Body and Spirit

We asked Hayley Newton, a renowned Healer based in London, to share with us what healing is all about. 

What exactly is healing? 

Healing is a natural energy therapy that complements conventional medicine by treating the whole person — mind, body and spirit. It’s a holistic approach - it believes that our whole being is interconnected and you must therefore treat the whole, not individual parts. 

How does it work? 

A healer channels energy through to a client by placing their hands on their 7 chakra energy centres — the points at which energy enters the body.  

How long does a session last? 

It’s an hour (30 minutes each side of our body) and you lie, fully clothed, on a treatment bed.  

Why do people come to you? 

It varies — many people that I treat are burnt-out or stressed, and I also treat cancer patients. I’ve even treated post-Bosnia war victims. I treat many with headaches and back problems - I think the fast pace of London life wears people down very quickly, so I try to guide clients to rebalance and recharge their batteries. Just as a car can’t run without petrol, if you put the best into your body, you will get the best out of it... 

How can you help? 

The benefits are felt on many levels and include regaining balance of mind, body and emotions. I teach self-care to clients, how to look after and be gentle on themselves, instead of pushing themselves to the point of illness and then having to seek help. That's not good!  Balance is the key! Regular healing combined with other types of self-care, such as meditation and yoga, as well as looking at your diet and lifestyle, will reap huge benefits. It’s truly rewarding when I see clients feeling better and back on the right path!
